Controversial opinions on metal

[GrayRain]

Dictius Te Necare is a good album, very unnerving. I like SUIZID and Dark Metal more though.

 

[sevag00]

Dark Metal, Dictius Te Necare and SUIZID are all awesome.

 

[Necroraven]

Watain's Casus Luciferi has way too much blasting. Sworn to the Dark and Lawless Darkness are much better.

A lot of blasting yes, but Casus Luciferi is still better than Sworn to the Dark and Lawless Darkness together.

 

[Zephyrus]

Rabid Death's Curse trumps all of them, easily, though Casus Luciferi is still excellent.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

Rabid Death's Curse is easily their worst tbh. It's produced/mixed akwardly and is highly repetitive. It's not a bad album but the stuff that followed is 100x better.

 

[sevag00]

You could say that.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

I did say that.

ITNE is a masterpiece. My fav BM album.
Anthems also kicks ass though is not as good as Nightside.
IX also kicks ass. And yes I consider it black metal. Not as good as the first two but still a great cd.
Prometheus is where Emperor begin to lose me... more of a prog metal album than a black metal album and too complex and pretentious for its own good. Still it has some gems on it.

Haha, Prometheus is probably the album I've listened to most. Progressive black metal? Yes please.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Prometheus was kind of a prequel to Ihsahn's solo work. I love the Angl album; just listened to it (for the billionth time). Neither album is very black metal, though.

 

[Episteme]

I remember listening to Prometheus when I was 14 and digging it, then I bought Anthems and ITNE and thinking "holy fuck this is way better, the songs seem to flow so much more easily".

 

[The Butt]

Only song on Prometheus that ever clicked with me was Empty, and even then at points it seemed like a clusterfuck of a song too.

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

Dark Metal, Dictius Te Necare and SUIZID are all awesome.

This. Throw in the "Profane..." ep and thats a killer impressive body of work

Obscura's super-sekrit formula of success consists of watering down their influences, in order to make their music ear-friendly and appealing to people who cannot digest Decrepit Birth or Necrophagist.

Retribution : Watered down Death riffs.

Cosmogenesis : Watered down Death riffs + watered down djent + Gothenburg.

Omnivium : Watered down Death riffs + watered down Morbid Angel riffs + watered down djent + Gothenburg + a shitload of acoustic interludes.

 

[The Emptier]

You say it's all watered down Death riffs and cite Decrepit Birth as being better than them Jesus fuck. Also you're just saying the influences that are in an album, obviously you can pinpoint certain characteristics to an album and band, but it's clear they aren't "just" what you're referring to, and even so, the ability to take all of that and brand it into something that is still new, original and fucking awesome should be apparent.

and Necrophagist doesn't have shit on Obscura anymore, they may have blown away everyone at one point, but the magic is gone and Obscura has taken the place of supreme leader.

 

[The Butt]

I am sorry that you are (quite clearly) deluded, SkeletonWitch. I am not even going to do myself the disservice of offering a serious rebuttal to that.

Or you know, all of those bands suck a massive dick.

I did not say that Decrepit birth is "better" than Obscura, i said that Decrepit Birth is "harder to digest" than Obscura.

As for the rest of your post, it's filled with the same stupid straw man dribble.

 

[sevag00]

I did say that.

I know you said that.

 

[Krow]

When his vocals started to go downhill it made his albums harder for me to listen to... the first four are great though.

Edit:

Maybe controversial?

Testimony of the Ancients > Consuming Impulse

I do enjoy both quite a bit though.
