Genuinely surprised to see that Eluveitie beats out Celtic Frost.

Edit: Just looked at the stats, and wow, it’s not even close: 872,935 to 120,157. That’s a real wtf. Insert Principal Skinner "…it’s the children who are wrong."jpg

Agreed. I was fortunate to have seen them live before Valfar passed. I didn’t know who they were at the time, but they absolutely blew me away. To the point I felt compelled to go shake his hand after their set and let him know how much I had enjoyed it. To this day it’s a top 10 live experience for me.

Summoning is one of those bands where you could ask someone which of their albums is their favorite and regardless of their answer it’s a good choice.

Is this actually a “Quiet down about being exploited by a known bad actor!” post, or am I missing something?

Also, why should discussion stop concerning a current, ongoing development in a space where how we choose to interact with that development hasn’t yet been set by many on an individual and a community level? Just because you’re tired of seeing it, and some people are arriving at a conclusion that may be different than yours?

I personally haven’t decided where I stand 100%. Nor have I seen this addressed by the person running my instance on what (if anything) they are considering concerning the entry of Meta into this space. Why on earth would it be warranted for discussion to cease and everyone take it as fate that the behemoth be allowed to roll over a reluctant userbase? This is absurd.
