Hello Kitty Suicide Club's "^_^" album isn't metal

First Post February 24, 2023 09:14 PM

Whoever the fuck thought it was appropriate to link Hello Kitty Suicide Club's "^_^" album to grindcore has no concept or understanding of what makes something metal. There are no guitars included here & the only thing I can see that has any relation to metal are the horrific vocals & occasional use of fast electronic kick-drums & pseudo-blast beats. This album is purely an avant-garde electronic music release & sounds a gazillion miles more like the soundtrack to the earliest computer games than it does Napalm Death. In fact, even if you were going to accept it as metal you’d have no hesitation in lumping it in with avant-garde metal as opposed to grindcore. Therefore, I'd like to see '^_^' removed from The Horde & added to Non-Metal.
