Stronghold is alright but I really don't see what is the big deal with Summoning and why people feel the need to mention them so much on this board.
Probably because they're really great, have a unique and original sound that isn't pretentious or trying too hard and they've released consistently great albums.

Fuck off.
Summoning deserves all the praise they get. My favorite is Dol Guldur. This band can do no wrong, even oath bound is of the same quality as their best works.

They do certainly 'break away' from the traditional BM sound, even if they are not experimenting by doing so. They more or less use that off-usual element as 'the primary'.
Its on my list. Ty.

Summoning sound like someone with a cheap keyboard, set on "orchestral" effect, trying and failing to make epic music. Most BM bands do that better with their half-assed attempts at symphonic intro tracks.

I respect this opinion pretty much, however, I think Summoning is a very enjoyable band when the song doesn't stand solely on the keyboard. They've done some ulistenable songs due to this but I still consider them a very good band.

I tend to try to look past minor little aesthetic things and appreciate the actual composition but what you said is precisely why I can't get into Summoning.

Not withstanding that I don't like most black metal, I couldn't get into Summoning either. The terrible keyboards just seem to overpower everything else. It's like taking a plate of meh and smothering it in a tasty, nutricious Casio sauce.

...And okra for all
Summoning annoy me in that they are at times a bit too conveniently, and dare I say, forcefully epic.And most of their albums are sameish. Still, I like them, but it's not music for everyday listening. They're like Immolation gone fairyland adventuring, except that the latter actually bore me.

Nutritious would be the correct spelling.
And Summoning is by no means a bad band. They are consistent and definitely enjoyable. The keyboards are not THAT overpowering.

Thanks Divine. Imagine my horror at spelling that incorrectly. Ritual suicide is now my only option, but none of my domestic knives are sharp enough. Oh, cruel fates!

Make sure you do it listening to Trist! Only good way to kill yourself is listening to suicidal bm. Or Shining. Either is good. Lulz.
