Or simply can't fucking stand John Tardy. But I presume, that's also one of the symptoms of faggotry, heh?

Don't get me wrong, I love both Nile and Deicide, but I feel like there are hundreds of other bands that deserve more attention.
Behemoth is probably the only death metal band I think deserves its popularity, but I think Nergal has gone a little overboard with the videos.

Now this is controversial: The new Slipknot song on their myspace page is actually pretty good, and it's most definitely metal. My roommate is into Slipknot, and was looking at their page, and that's when I heard it. I thought that there was some kind of mistake and somehow a metal song from another band got on their page.

I can see how someone can dislike Tardy's vocals. The first two Obituary albums are great, but those are the only great Obituary albums.

I don't like Obituary at all. Also I gave Behemoth another chance and I can't get into them. Even after seeing them live two times by default.

Yeah, that's weird. It's not really that good but there's certainly a death metal-esque sound there.

The End Complete was good, but not great, IMO. It seems that with that album they started the transition from regular OSDM to more of a groove death sound characteristic of their later work (most notably World Demise and the like).

I wonder if they intentionally did that, since they realize that death metal is getting more popular now, with bands like Nile and Behemoth playing the Ozzfest. But then again, some of the members grew up with death metal. The guitarist has an Immolation tatoo on his shoulder.

That new Slipknot song is METAL. That is my point. It's not the best metal, but it's still metal, and I'd even say it's not bad. My roommate said "this sounds exactly like the stuff you listen to" (he was referring to death metal). I wouldn't go that far, but it is definitely metal. There is no sampling/mc-ing, or whatever the fuck you wanna call it. It's just guitars and drums.

It's an alright song, and it is metal. But the reason I enjoy Slipknot (yes, I actually enjoy Slipknot 
) is for their interesting mix of industrial, rap and metal.

Yeah, Slipknot isn't bad. I think the reason they are so hated among metalheads is that most of their work isn't metal, yet the band represents metal to the general public who doesn't know anything about metal. And aside from for the most part not being metal, Slipknot is not a good representative of metal because they are so gimmicky and juvenile (which in itself can be a valid reason to dislike them).

^Just my thoughts.
The ultimate controversy:
Slipknot > Slayer.
...Don't worry. I respect Slayer for their earlier material, but it just isn't my kind of metal at all.
