Controversial opinions on metal

[Mentok]

I didn't know "Them Bones" had 30 breakdowns in it....

 

[Belligerent]

Suicide Silence are fail upon all fail.

 

[The Emptier]

and that's controversial?

 

[General Zaroff]

Their Deftones cover was pretty cool.

 

[Einherjar86]

Suidakra had one dud with Command to Charge which was pretty awful...but Caledonia and Crogacht were really good efforts with a pretty sweet return to form for Arkadius who I think it's safe to say everyone was scared for with CtC (coming off the heels of the badass Signs for the Fallen).

Signs for the Fallen is such a fucking awesome record, and potentially pulls off the Gothenburg style better than the actual bands from that scene (or at least, better than a vast majority of their releases). They found the perfect balance on that album of that style and their own brand of melodic death metal.

 

[Mentok]

Lays from Afar for the motherfucking win

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

All of their albums except Command To Charge are sweet, honestly.

 

[Mentok]

Touche

 

[Kreated]

I like nu metal, though not rap metal like limp bizkit. Also, I like st. anger. In fact it's my favorite metallica CD right now *hides*

 

[Xorv]

Everything SuidAkra have done is great. I'm not enthralled by all their realses, but I can sit down with each one and enjoy it. Even the poor production on Lupine Essence is great, gives the release personality.

Rain fell within = one of the most underrated metal band of all time., and they're disbanded!!

 

[Mort Divine]

The Carnival Bizarre is the best Cathedral album.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I've never managed to get into them and found them really boring live.

 

[Zephyrus]

Agreed on Carnival Bizarre.

 

[Doomguy]

The Carnival Bizarre is the best Cathedral album.

It's good but The Ethereal Mirror is their best imo.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The only good Cathedral is Forest of Equilibrium. Everything else is retarded happy-doom.

 

[JontRevolting]

It's good but The Ethereal Mirror is their best imo.

Agreed.Soul Sacrifice is their best song though.

 

[Mort Divine]

The only good Cathedral is Forest of Equilibrium. Everything else is retarded happy-doom.

You're a fucking idiot.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Says the person that thinks any album with a thing like Vampire Sun can be called the best of anything. Nothing personal against Cathedral though. Doom metal is such a terrible genre when done wrong, which is what so many bands are guilty of. There is almost no musical merit to the genre and as such it relies entirely on mood/atmosphere. If the latter is present then great, but your typical Sabbath-clone is just as kitsch as any modern stoner rock retro band. Disgusting music.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

The only good Cathedral is Forest of Equilibrium. Everything else is retarded happy-doom.

I actually agree, Caravan Beyond Redemption is a perfect example of "happy doom".

 

[The Ozzman]

I have not heard Forest of Equilibrium, but almost everything else I've heard from Cathedral is forgettable. Then again, I don't have much Doom in my collection.
