#metalhead stuff

[poetpunk]

Transitioning but in a Dee Snider way where I yell at my dad and then spin around really fast until I emerge in all my genderfucky hair metal eyeliner-covered glory

Hagane Miku for digital practice

Back patch and studs on battle vest complete!! This used to be my cousin’s hoodie lmao. Thank you to my old belt and Arch Enemy tee for their brave sacrifices in the name of the greater good.

Someone please take the classic metal away and put it on a high shelf until I am emotionally stable enough for this

So I somehow got this really nice pic amongst the madness tonight and Veronica posted it to her insta story. Blessed

Possibly unpopular opinion - metal version:

Seregor looks a lot better with corpse paint than without

...This actually goes for a lot of black metal dudes actually

Why is it so controversial to say that Ghost aren't metal? They're not lol it's just a fact

We really need to kill this whole "music that I like = metal" trend.

Oomph! Gig Masterpost:

- They played a lot of older stuff. I'm actually quite surprised at how little they played from Ritual. Lots of songs I knew, so I won't complain

- They played Sandmann, and Labyrinth, and Auf Kurs, and Jede Reise Hat Ein Ende, as well as small bits of Fieber and Das Letzte Streichholz, AND Augen Auf, AND TRÄUMST DU. I couldn't believe my damn ears. They also introduced me to Mein Schatz, which I shall be listening to again later...

- There were two drums at the front of the stage that were solely there for Dero to beat the shit out of in exciting song parts where he wasn't singing

- Flux is having too much fun at all times

- Flux is also really very good at being sinister and he should do it more often

- They all seemed genuinely surprised at just how many Brits were going crazy for their music and how well we knew the German lyrics

- Dero does a lot of ... Dero Things™️. These include running in circles, jumping in circles, licking his knuckles in a very suggestive manner against almost complete silence, starting almost every song by blurting "HEH" into the mic before the guitar kicks in, constantly hanging his tongue out of his mouth, breathing heavily into the mic, licking his hand and blowing it like a kiss, and at one point, suddenly sticking his finger down his throat mid-sentence and spitting on the floor (ew, Dero. Get some manners)

- They played some of their extremely early material from their first album and it got very weird and experimental-electronic very quickly but they still absolutely killed it

- Dero felt the need to reassure us that they do, in fact, love us, before playing Kein Liebeslied

- Dero calls the metal horns sign "devil fists"

- Flux actually oozes stage presence. It was hard to look away from that guy

- Crap was too far away for the whole thing and I could barely see him but he had some really fucking cool guitar designs going on. I'm sure one of them had this translucent frosted glass thing going on with lights on the inside. Really noice

- Flux and Crap threw sealed water bottles into the crowd. Dero, however, is a troublesome child, and instead decided to open two bottles and drench the first 4 rows in front of him (funny but I'm also kinda jealous?)

- One of the water bottles Flux threw actually landed directly in my hand but then bounced away

- Dero stagedived, as did the singer of Heldmaschine (who were also impressively good). I've literally never even seen a band member try that until now. The security folks didn't seem too happy about it lmao

- When he speaks English, Dero's accent flips wildly between sounding American and suspiciously English

-Also I'm pretty sure there was a moment where he said a couple sentences in German before stammering, stopping himself, and remembering he was meant to be speaking English

- Dero kept yelling at us to "celebrate yourselves" which is one of the most wholesome things I think I've heard a singer yell

Honestly though this whole experience was incredible. Took like a million pictures so I'm gonna have to have a proper look through them tomorrow. It's a shame I wasn't able to locate the band but all in all, extremely worth the hassle to get here
