Apparently this is a mainstream pop thing off of the big name soundtrack for Ye Olde Big Name Currently in Theaters Comic Book Movie. Not crazy about the vocals (although they are processed through the signature industrial lo-fi "Al Jourgensen yelling into a megaphone" type effect) or the stupid lyrics.
But I'm not gonna lie, it's easy to dismiss the track as shit, but if it didn't have vocals you could easily mistake it for Ministry or something off the DOOM soundtrack.
It's actually a better Ministry song than Ministry has done in a while.
The only part that was unintentionally shitty sounding were the fact the keyboards are way too loud and the guitars aren't palm muted like trve thrash era Ministry riffs.
The rest is like, it's D-Beat and Industrial, it's supposed to sound grating and lo-fi. Those are two of the biggest lo fi/lionizing genres out there. Although the track is faux lo-fi obviously, they aren't going to let anything that's not heavily produced on a multi platinum soundtrack. The lo-fi is all intentional processing obviously.
It's not true D Beat unless it is really grating to listen to.
Is that what it is? Shit, I never knew that. If I had to guess I would have never guessed it was a specific beat named after a seminal crust punk band that started with a D.
Do you think there is room for any variation there? Toontrack does.
Joking aside, I know there is some debate about how strict the definition should be. Confusingly, D Beat is used to refer to the specific beat, a style of drumming, and a genre.
I was using it more in the "General Crust Punk Heavy Drums" sense. Whether or not it qualifies as D Beat depends on how strict you want to be.
A lot of the Toontrack packs actually have some "D Beats" that would offend hard line purists.
And if you really want a 100% answer about what d-beat ACTUALLY IS you could just ask professor (I heard?) Jan Jutila who is an actual fucking expert in this field, who if I'm not mistaken, made an actual masters degree in d-beat :lol:
This is why most of the real punks don't play anything close to what people call "punk rock" music. And people say "punk died in 1978, only 'punk rock' exists now".
D-Beat is whatever I want it to be. I can call Destiny's Child D-Beat.
I really give zero shits about if what I am calling D-Beat is D-beat, which is more punk than demanding everyone conform to a rule.
Seriously, if you say, "That's not real D-Beat, I'm an authority on D-Beat." you need to go back to square one, because if you think Punk is about conforming to other people's authority, you have bigger comprehension issues about the punk mindset than a stupid drumbeat.
If you had linked Ace Of Spades rather than Overkill I wouldn't have minded :lol:
Because it's way more inspirational for the d-beat pattern than Overkill :lol:
By the way I removed the text from most of my replies because I was just in my autistic retard mode and after sleeping I realized how stupid it was. :lol:
Not an uncommon thing in my life, let me tell you. :lol:

I appreciated when this showed up in Mortal Kombat.
