Talk:The Next Four Years

Genre
The genre tag for "Black Metal" was removed from the article, with a note in the edit saying "Band's material cannot be classified as 'black metal.' Reference to this has been removed." However, there is no citation given for this, and this comes across as elitist (even if that isn't the intent). It does certainly sound black metal-influenced, I would say it's a mix of black metal and screamo/hardcore punk.

As for sources calling it black metal, that is rather hard to come across, due to the band's obscurity leaving it to be covered by metal blogs and sources folks may deem "unreliable." I will link to a few articles I've found that describe songs on this album as "black metal," though again I'm not the best at judging whether a source is reliable or not.

http://www.metalinsider.net/new-music/stop-what-youre-doing-and-listen-to-this-united-nations-song-now (refers to the song "Serious Business" as "straight-up black metal") http://www.stereogum.com/1690838/stream-united-nations-the-next-four-years/music/album-stream/ (compares the album to Deafheaven's works, Deafheaven being another band that blends black metal and other genres) https://www.punknews.org/review/12735/united-nations-the-next-four-years (A punk outlet that also compares them to Deafheaven due to blending black metal and other genres)

Feel free to discuss, let's see if we can come to a consensus on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.57.92.236 (talk) 21:24, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Although I would not called the band black metal, you could it in the article that they have been influenced or compared to it in the article OBLIVIUS (talk) 22:08, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
