This guy should be working overtime in some mad marketing agency because he clearly knows how to stir a cauldron of shit and make people react. Few years ago I was mad at his influence on the genre. Then I understood it is my emotional reaction all these provocations are for. Here I am now - cold. Go troll.

He's dumb for what he sid but jesus Christ people labeling him a Nazi when he's shown himself to not be one is hilarious.

Just a correction, he didn't support Ukraine, nor Russia. He even said that "Slava Ukraini" is a fascist slogan, in which is used rampant by ukrainian nationalists. And he's not wrong, because on the one hand in this war we have NATO's militarism that wants to dominate the world with its military power, and on the other hand we have Putin's defensive expansionism, which is perhaps the worst that has ever existed in russian politics, It' extremely conservative, supported by the worst sectors of the russian elite linked to the oligarchies and the old aristocracy. Only ones who win in this war are the wheat and oil tycoons, while the working class fucks itself.

Welcome to the world where keyboard warriors judge people because being SLIGHTLY conservative equates to Adolf Hitler

Not much to do with the music, so it's a bit tabloidy to talk about it. There was some argument on the social media when Emin defended AI art and his fanbase stood against it. This resulted in Emin (supposedly) faking support for NSBM (deleting all from VC socials except for a post saying "NSBM is the best genre ever") for a day, until revealing that it was supposed to be an act to cleanse his fanbase from fake leftists.

It's certainly not the whole fanbase literally meaning "the whole fanbase". Only the majority of the commenters, which might have been just a vocal minority, or just the people who were active on the social media at the time. But it did lead to unprecedented reactions from the artist himself on his social media. Either way, there was drama and now the drama is over.

Oh my God, isn't Violet Cold that chipmunk-fronted gay metal that we all used to? anymore

Этот альбом, Empire of Love, как вид со сцены на Большой театр! (по версии Эрика Курмангалиева, великого оперного певца).

Even though I am not the biggest fan of that kind of genre-blending, I admit that the Empire Of Love is an extremely important record. It takes guts to release an album like this. Respect!

That album cover is unknowingly the most anti-muslim thing I've seen in a while and its absolutely hilarious. While not technically bad music, I don't know how long until hollow, poppy nightclub black metal will where out its welcome.

I don't think it's unknowing at all. The dude is from Azerbaijan which is heavily Muslim fundamentalist and has a horrible human rights record. Pretty sure it's supposed to be a symbol of defiance.

Don't get me wrong, I mean nothing against gays, disabled persons, muslims, transsexuals, jews, lesbians, blacks, yellows, children, native people and all the other living beings whos lives matter. But the latest album is musically the worst album since 'Lilu' was released, and it was soooo long ago. Noir kid was better. Kosmik was so much better. Desperate Dreams was waaay better, and I would give 20 'Empires of Love' for one 'Anomie'. No, really. I love Violet Cold music, I tried hard, I was eager for audial pleasure and I have listened to 'Empire of Love' so many times and there is not a single song that feels like a hit. Probably azer gays need this album for their fighting spirit, others can just pass this release by. Good thing that I can say about 'Empire of Love' - thanks for not putting chipmunk vocals in it, but anyways - I'll go and listen to some older beautiful stuff, looking forward for the next album.

Whatever the concept behind Empire of Love is, that's a huge astronomical bold move. Presentation, tracklist, genres and we don't need to say from which country this comes from. Love it

That's insane how low Azerbaijan is. That's insanely bold to release Empire of Love. I wonder if something could happen to him as a result of that.
