Controversial opinions on metal

[TechnicalBarbarity]

They have some very solid albums to go along with the essential Cause of Death.

 

[The Ozzman]

Cause of Death
The End Complete
World Demise (completely underrated. I know it ventures into the groove side of things, but this thing kicks ass)
Frozen in Time

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I only have Cause of Death, and also got bored of it pretty quickly.

I grabbed the newest album from Arizmenda to see what all the fuss about the Black Twilight Circle bands is about.

So what is all the fuss about?

 

[The Emptier]

Nothing. They suck. And they're mean.

AFAIK they're a bunch of circle wankers and shitty LLN-copies trying to act incredibly mysterious by forming some pointless club, which probably doesn't have anything to do with anything. Anyway they fucking suck, Volahn is decent, but that's about it. I also heard, they're so evil they spend time arguing with teenagers on internet.

 

[EternalMetal]

The new Odz Manouk/Tukaaria split isnt bad either and is worth checking out imo. Havent heard the new Arizmenda but their other album isnt bad. Still, Black Twilight Circle is nothing compared to the LLN, I really dont understand their hype either.

 

[gundamterran]

I'm pretty sure a lot of the LLN is a joke too, and pretty godawful, although the good stuff from the LLN is truly great.

Cannabis Corpse > Cannibal Corpse.
Blood Red Throne and Severe Torture are actually great DM bands.

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

Fhtagn nagh Yog-Sothoth is the pinnacle of funeral doom. controversial?

 

[Krow]

Cannabis Corpse > Cannibal Corpse.

No.

Blood Red Throne sucks ass. Severe Torture's early albums are good, but are so cannibal corpse influenced, I dont understand why you'd like them.

come on someone say something controversial. This thread has always kept me entertained

 

[Necroraven]

Ok.

- Aside from (a very) few riffs and solos Dimebag & Pantera suck cock and are overrated
- Catchy melodies in metal (and of course in other genres as well) are awesome
- The Big 4 suck shit (Megadeth being the most tolerable), teutonic thrash is mostly miles better
- David Vincent > Steve Tucker any day
- Aside from the title track, Dechristianize isn't too special

I had a quite a few more, but then realized, that they weren't too controversial after all, like most USBM being shitty, 100% of metal/death/whatever-core sucking or thinking Ozzy's voice is great (though the music is).

 

[HamburgerBoy]

- The Big 4 suck shit (Megadeth being the most tolerable), teutonic thrash is mostly miles better

Two of the three major Germanic thrash bands descended to inoffensive American-style shit after their first couple releases anyways. If you made an exception for Slayer and not Megadeth I could sort of see where you were coming from (being that Kreator and Sodom did little that Slayer didn't do first), but you didn't, so you are objectively wrong.

 

[The Butt]

Necroraven: - Pantera kicks ass.
- The only shitty band of the big 4 is Failthrax
- Core can be good, one just has to be not a major fucking faggot to find bands to appreciate.

 

[mutantllama]

Cowboys from Hell is great and Powermetal is an awesome US heavy metal album.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I wouldn't pick Power Metal over Cowboys, but yes, both are great. To disagree requires that one either a) hate tr00 metal and all it stands for or b) be a hypocrite.

 

[The Ozzman]

CFH is one of my favorite albums ever.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Vulgar Display is a great album. Far Beyond Driven has some great stuff on it also.

 

[Bitencourt29]

CFH is one of my favorite albums ever.

Vulgar Display is a great album. Far Beyond Driven has some great stuff on it also.

CFH and Vulgar Display are both fun and remind me of great times. Listened to them like a fucking million times. And yeah, Far Beyond Driven has great moments.

 

[Satanstoenail]

The only two songs I remember liking on CFH were Primal Concrete Sledge and the title track.
