Controversial opinions on metal

only catchy thing about Nile is the papyrus containing the spell to preserve its possessor against attacks from he who is in the water song title.
You sound like a fucking Nile fanboy. No wait, that was Sepultura.

only?? are you crazy? they have 100s of catchy riffts, wind of hours, blessed dead, execration text, masturbating the wargod and on and on, too many to mention, nile is FILLED with catchy riffs.
 
Why all the hate for Nile? Their musicianship and technicality is great. Just because their music isn't "catchy" enough (lol) doesn't mean they suck...

And as far as their Egyptian theme goes, I would say it is pretty damn original. It sure as hell isn't cliched.
 
The Egyptian theme is a pretty big gimmick.
its not a gimmick, its a style.

The copycat remark was probably directed towards Sepultura. Which leads to the question, who were they copying during the Bestial Devastation/Morbid Visions era?
sepultura? sepultura had an original sound and released the best thrash albums ever.

this, though nile is VERY catchy.
 
Saying nothing about whether they're good or bad, Nile is one of the last bands you'd use the word 'catchy' to describe. Nile aren't trying to be catchy FFS!

man... if you arent catchy you will NOT be succesful, all succesful bands are so BECAUSE they are catchy, morbid angel, slayer, metallica, nile are ALL catchy, thats the REASON for their success, they have songs and riffs that STICKS to ones head and are GOOD.

No, it's a gimmick. See, at Nile's core, they are a very generic band with absolutely zero to call attention to them outside of the obvious Egyptian gimmick, which is a pure facade and is pretty much throw-away.

And Sepultura are obviously trend-hopping rip-off artists. Sorry if you can't see that. I'd say you are blinded by bias.
