Controversial opinions on metal

[Karmablade]

Behemoth is definitely not awesome. They are not dark, epic, original, heavy, brutal, or expressive enough to be considered "awesome". If metal were a town hall meeting, Behemoth would be the guy in the front agreeing with the speakers. Everyone notices him but he has nothing significant to say.

At their very best, their moment of utmost climax, Behemoth is okay. They are listenable.

i agree that they have a lot of mediocre and even boring stuff but the zos kia album and thelema is great stuff.

you just said its not catchy but has memorable riffs? memorable riffs is what i call catchy because it CATCHES

That is not what catchy means.

Oh you Karmablade, you.

 

[Karmablade]

That is not what catchy means.

Oh you Karmablade, you.

sorry but english is my third language but still i just explained why its catchy, memorable=catchy as it catches to your brain, unmemorable=uncatchy as it does NOT catch to your brain.

As I already said: what's catchy to one person might not be catchy to all.

For instance, I think Primordial has fucking catchy riffs, but I know there are tons of people here who would disagree with that.

Nile is fucking awesome!

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Nile and Behemoth suck.

nile are hit and miss with me... behemoth are consistently great imo

 

[J.]

Niles first three are damn good, plus thoae early eps, then they lost me. Behemoth is mediocrity defined. Satanica is pretty good though

 

[Ryuuzaki]

Nile has a few enjoyable songs, but overall I generally find them boring. Also tiring to listen to.

Seriously, can we put a fucking stop to the goddamn motherfucking autoplay YouTube clips for fucks sake? Jesus ass-raping Christ, you pederast fagots are pissing me the fuck off!

On another note, I've been inspired by the "Weird Looking Musicians" or whatever thread to say that I apparently just don't get underground metal. I only like Hvist... and Filosofem by Burzum. Nespithe by Demilich has maybe 3 great songs, the rest are nothing special. Pale Folklore is the only Agalloch album that is worth a shit. Primordial is good, but nowhere near amazing. And to add to the list of blasphemies, I have to say that Portal is nothing too special. Well played tech death, nothing more. There are bands that I discovered through this forum that I am grateful for being referred too (Intestine Baalism, Demigod, Lykathea Aflame, and Disembowelment), but I don't get all the fanboi-ism for all the bands I mentioned at the beginning of my post. None are bad per se, but none of them are what I would call incredible.

Then your an idiot. Sorry.

Then your an idiot. Sorry.

oh the irony

 

[VelociBrad]

If English is your third language then you really don't have any authority to come up with new definitions.

You want catchy? I'll fucking show you catchy.

That's right, I just went there.

this is catchy too. I guess this is really awesome huh?

 

[Slayed Necros]

Depravity's EP is great. Vomiturition is great too, but not at the level of said EP. I just prefer Finnish OSDM over Swedish OSDM, that's all. It seems like it is better compositionally, and it's also much darker and more "evil".

So, one of your primary reasons for preferring Finnish death metal is the inherent darkness and evil in the music, and you don't find that quality in, say, Necrophobic's debut? I suggest you reacquaint yourself with this and stop wasting your time with third tier bands like Depravity.

 

[VelociBrad]

According to Karmablade, yes.

yeah I figured as much. well it's better than his band at least!

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Then your an idiot. Sorry.

Look who's talking.

 

[Krow]

This thread has been autoplay and karmablade forever. Fuck you all.

@Sapamurat:

It sounds like you tend toward more melodic, fast-paced metal. Have you checked out Nocte Obducta, Nagelfar, Farsot, Abigor, Frantic Bleep, Dornenreich, or Fleurety?
