If the albums in your sig are a good indication of the Devourment board's tastes then I'm signing up immediately.

Amon Amarth are a band I've always liked live or when one of their songs comes on in a club but I couldn't sit through their full album.

Everything I've heard from Black Dahlia murder wasn't really core, just sounded like Gothenburg.

You Opeth fans are touchier than Beatles, Radiohead and Wu-Tang fans all rolled together.

the what now?

I'm touched that you'd treat me as one of your own.

Haha, don't blame ME for the Opeth discussions! I just posted their name in an Overrated Bands thread and had their fanbase jump on me immediately. This means absolutely nothing. Don't think that taking lessons in music theory actually makes your opinion on anything more valid. Well I...

lol, you don't have to reply with angry rebuttals, this is a thread called controversial metal opinions afterall, I don't expect everyone to agree.

Opeth's obvious and supercial "prog" elements outshine the fact that their songwriting is mediocre. Agalloch is a post-rock band marketed at metal fans. Drudkh were a right place, right time band. For the style they play they're very average. The production on Nightside in the Eclipse...

A few interesting bits up there. lol at Internal Bleeding reforming. I figured I was the whole of their fanbase.

I still consider Opeth lazy. I think their 'unusual' elements in their albums completely overshadows the serious lack of songwriting for most people. I think when you wipe away all the superficial shit (omg a death metal band with a 9 minute acoustic section, how very avant garde) the actual...

Yeah, I haven't heard a great deal of slam this year. Some of my favourite slam albums... Devourment - Molesting the Decapitated Suppuration - Pain and Suffering Purulent - Garavito's Pedophilia Tales Cephalotripsy - Uterovaginal Insertion of Extirpated Anomalies Enmity - Illumintions of...

Figured I'd upset some people with that post. I can explain any of them though. Scenes From a Memory - is okay. Decent. Not nearly as good as Images & Words though.

Not bad. Pretty interesting. 6.5/10
