Controversial opinions on metal

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Holy shit, that IS controversial. Wow. I don't know what to say to that except for... Dragonlord? Really?

 

[waif]

I think this is pretty decent.
Not great, but the album came on earlier and I realized my initial appraisal (what is this goofy shit) might have been too harsh.

 

[The Butt]

I guess I'm not a fan of the cheesy BM.

 

[The Emptier]

Stormlord is a symphonic black/death metal band and they kick ass, much more than this band. although it wasn't terrible and i liked the vocals

listening to Into the Pandemonium right now. this is not really that great. not sure if that counts

 

[Mort Divine]

666 is the best katharsis album

 

[sevag00]

666 > Kruzifixxion > VVorldVVithoutEnd

I heard this new band recently Valpurgis Night and thought they sounded decent but Im'not sure about doom elements that they cite on their myspace page - www.myspace.com/valpurgisnight

What do you make of them?

I don't think that's very controversial. For some reason I have a strange affection for that album, but I recognize that for most people it's gonna be lacking in flow and songwriting and his clean vocals are quite awful.

Dornenreich's early material makes Dragonlord sound like child's play.



So does Nazxul's latest album.

The cheezier the better. Go with the force, fuck the lord.

Dornenreich is awesome. Durch Den Traum is pretty sweet too.

 

[Vossyrus]

The Meads of Asphodel's demo Metatron and the Red Gleaming Serpent is not only the band's best release, but also the best demo ever recorded.

 

[Eligos]

Dornenreich is awesome. Durch Den Traum is pretty sweet too.

I've only listened to their first two albums. Would you say Durch Den Traum is a good starting point for their later material?

Regarding their recent material, yes, Durch Den Traum is fantastic and a good starting point. But understand it's not the aggressive melodic black metal that you'd find on their early albums, it's hardly even metal. The music is peaceful, dark and atmospheric, and very mood-oriented. More acoustic guitar and whispered vocals. Hexenwind is similar because they were written and recorded at the same time, but I don't think it's as good. And In Luft geritzt is an acoustic album, not one that I cared too much for.

Also, you might want to check out their third album, if you've only heard the first two.
