I like The Man Behind The Slaughter by The Living Tombstone. I don’t tend to enjoy fan-made music, but this one was too groovy to pass up.

            ‘Ex Deo is a Canadian death metal band formed in Montreal, Quebec in 2008. The band is a side project of Kataklysm frontman Maurizio Iacono, and is based on the history of the Roman Empire.’

            I somehow switched to them while listening to Behemoth yesterday. Not exactly my flavour, but they weren’t bad.

        I honestly can’t remember any band or song names, I just know it’s fun as to listen to after a few drinks.

    I want to say Clown Core but the insane talent is obvious almost immediately. you might click on it ironically but you’ll never listen that way twice.

    I guess Baby Metal fits the bill better.

      My music instructor suggested them for me to listen once. I could tell by his tone, that this suggestion was ironic at least on some level (he was only half-expecting me to like it), but after I gave it a listen and we started discussing it, it became obvious that both of us like this music pretty intensely and unironically.

      I personally view Clown Core as a conceptual musical comedy. They utilize the clown aesthetic as a framing context, in which they use MAD SKILLS to inspect and subvert all expectations about music structure, direction, tone and sound.

      I’m listening to “Hell” and I must admit I am not only impressed but also deeply afraid. I will never listen to this again. Thanks for sharing!

      My roommate showed me and said the same thing. Then I showed my boss and he started listening to it unironically.

      I do still go and listen to some of them sometimes, myself.

      When I first saw Gimme Chocolate as a share on Facebook, I thought BabyMetal were a one hit wonder meme band. Cool and fun but not a “real” band, I didn’t think anymore about it.

      A few years later I heard they were releasing a second album and I was like “these guys are actually serious?!”. I checked out more of their stuff and got hooked.

      At that time in my life I had been listening to metal for well over a decade and was wondering if I was actually getting bored of it. BabyMetal were a huge breath of fresh air to the scene.

    I will still champion “That’s Not My Name” by Ting Tings. It’s a well-crafted pop song that most people miss the “subtlety” (for lack of a better word) of the message. It’s about a woman wanting to be social, but hating all of the poor flirtation in the pick-up scene.

    And I never knew it until I had it on an exercise mix and was able to hyper focus on it while trying to zone out in my cadence run. It usually just glossed by as a chippy beat.

    Jinjer - Pisces

    Although it’s not a comedic song in itself, when the chorus kicks in, the cognitive dissonance of that mismatching voice is funny. But then after 5 listens you are just impressed because it sounds good. And that made me unironically listen to it more and I put it in my playlist, recognizing the depth of the lyrics and that unique feeling of the song.

    That’s btw 1 of 2 songs from jinjer that are considered outliers and those are the only two that I like by jinjer which is very weird.

    Not necessarily a song but a whole sub-genre: Eurobeat. It started with Running in the 90s and I just went from there to listening and thoroughly enjoying pretty much the whole Initial D soundtrack.

    Because of Fallout New Vegas I got into songs about that like “Blue shadows on the trail” by Roy Rogers and that’s like era of cowboy music that fits the theme if that aesthetic, even have a playlist for it, when I Play DayZ

    I grew up on hip-hop never thought I’d be hearing this

    Power Francers - Pompo nelle Casse

    It’s a very stupid song with lyrics that make no sense and are kinda hedonistic, and I hated it when it came out in 2010 because I felt that it somehow “promoted” that lifestyle, but it eventually grew on me and it brings me back to simpler times, now I get the irony of that song.
