Controversial opinions on metal

I really think Immolation can do no wrong. Even their more polished albums are still good. Close to a World Below and Here in After are my favorites though.
 
Harnessing Ruin is their low point for sure, but it's still not bad. Shadows in the Light is really good iirc.
 
maybe i need to revisit immolation. i alwas thought they were the weakest -tion band, with incantation and suffocation being more worth my time
 
Immolation hasn't been worth listening to since after Unholy Cult tbh.

Dead Congregation has made them wholly irrelevant today.
 
A band copying their style has made the original band irrelevant? That's going to be the only time that ever fucking happened.
 
Graves of the Archangels is significantly better than anything Immolation has done in over a decade. Promulgation of the Fall is a step backwards and still is better than everything Immolation has done from Harnessing Ruin onward.
 
Every Immolation album is at least 7/10. Dead Congregation although good is more of a Incantation copy band than Immolation, at least to my ears.
