You should, just because they do have a couple amazing albums. But they aren't particular scary. Even more to that point, Abbath (lead vocalist, guitarist) usually just sorta pokes fun at himself. He's quite a character.

Oh, me alienating someone here isn't based on my opinion being silly, but on the reader not understanding how righteous my point of view is. You'll get it soon enough, kiddo.

A fair point - I should have said, under any 'reasonable' definition. ;) The rest are just disagreements. Opinions are like assholes, they say... (but I do agree Ride the Lightning is probably their best album - one of metals best? LOLZ)

I don't consider Venom's "Black Metal" to be black metal. Under any definition of black metal. Kreator and Dark Angel are by far the two best thrash bands (honorable mention to Sodom). Slayer is highly overrated, and even Metallica's best albums aren't THAT great. Frankly, thrash metal is...

haha.... I need to post in 'controversial opinions on metal' thread... I'm likely to alienate fucking everyone in there.

I do love Symphony X. Guess they are sort of a power/prog hybrid, so that counts. :)

Edmond Tarverdyan made an error in judgement getting in Werdum's face. lol

~2:58 - 4:00 (or well, the rest of the song really...)

Elric, I have a feeling we'd agree on a lot... but for whatever reason I can't get into this at all. Maybe the vocals? 4/10

Joakim Brodén (Sabaton) - Seems like people either love or hate his vocal style. I find it gritty and visceral in a sub-genre full of vocalists who don't exactly sound.. eh... powerful. Attila Dorn (Powerwolf) - at least in their recordings, awesome. Mathias Blad (Falconer) - seems...

Cynic is one that comes to mind.

I think Limbonic Art's "Ad Noctum - Dynasty of Death" is a good contender for this. But really, Windham Hell (Eric Friesen RIP) were just on a different level than most other 'evil' sounding acts.

Speaking of Battle Magic... the reissue cover is quite awesome.
