Controversial opinions on metal
- Thread starter The Ozzman

Currently listening to the new album by The Crown. Sounds good. Groovy, frentic riffing and killer vocals. Lacking in the melody department, though, thus far.

I will agree with the opinion that Slayer is "overrated" but everything up until Seasons In The Abyss is legit, fuck you all.
Slayer definately doesnt deserve nearly as much hype as they seem to get but they also dont deserve being disregarded completely.

Never got the hype here. I've listened to about 3 of their albums... and none of them were any good.
Oh man. Crowned in Terror is fucking unbelievable, I think. I wanted to post a song here but youtube doesn't have it, surprisingly.

metallica, to me, are clearly the best of the "big 4". i would rather listen to exodus or testament than megadeth or anthrax. but slayer put together some great songs, and each album has something worth listening to on it.

no its not, old sep IS much MUCH better, hell awaits is an amazing album though.

theres nothing overrated about Slayer at all ... and their first five albums are better than most of the stuff you fruit cakes listen to.

agreed.
and seriously what fucking filler on the early slayer albums are you guys bitching about?
silent scream? kills
altar of sacrifice? kills
haunting the chapel? kills
spirit in black? kills
frankly almost EVERY song on those early albums rules.

I only thought Slayer had two bad albums and that's Diabolus in Musica and some of the stuff on Divine Intervention. Other than that I've always thought Slayer was a pretty consistent band.

I actually enjoy Divine Intervention more than DIM and all subsequent releases. The only problem with DI is Paul Bostaph sounds out of sync with the rest of the band.

since apparently a bunch of people hate shoegazer / BM i guess it's a controversial opinion that I think this song is absolutely awesome:

Good song. I like shoegaze/black metal, gives a nice change of pace.
Ive heard you mention Heretoir once before and I checked out their EP .Existenz. Havnt heard it enough to solidy my opinion yet.

new Heretoir full length comes out in February. Artwork by Fursy, the guy that did the covers for new Alcest, Lantlos, that multi-LP box set of Agalloch recently, among others.
I'm pretty excited about it. I want to here how good they pull off a full length. All I have from Heretoir is Existenz, the split with Thranenkind, and a few songs on some compilations.

DIM and DI both actually have some of my favorite Slayer songs on them believe it or not.
Sex, Murder, Art
Perversions of Pain
Scrum
213
Just to name a few.

Yeah I can tell, the picture reminds me of Les Discrets' Septembre et Ses Dernières Pensées and the font reminds me of Lantlôs lol
Im gonna give that split a listen to, that song sounded good. But that was both Heretoir and Thranenkind? Hows their solo shit on the split?

Pretty similar, Thranenkind and Heretoir obviously take their influences from the same well.
