Controversial opinions on metal

[CiG]

They really got comfortable in the late 90's and onwards just pouring molten emotion on their listeners, it's visceral.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Night is the New Day is my favorite, but TGCD might be their most complete album.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I didn't really "get" The Chasm until a few years ago and now they're my favorite death metal band. The songwriting is unlike anything I've heard before, so I definitely understand why it's off-putting to some at first. Procession to the Infraworld is their magnum opus as far as I'm concerned but Deathcult for Eternity follows closely behind.

 

[Omni]

The Chasm is one of the few bands that deserves all of the praise that they get.

 

[The Ozzman]

Night is the New Day is my favorite, but TGCD might be their most complete album.

That's definitely where they found their sound.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yall should hear the DEATHCULT remaster if they haven't already, i think it may help folks appreciate it.

 

[Krow]

I bought the remaster but I haven't even listened to it because the flac files I have are derived from the first press. Moving out and not having a computer is killing me. Want to be able to convert all my music to external hard drdisk drives so I can mobilize my gigantic collection a bit. My iPods had the same music on it since October

 

[The Ozzman]

Where can one obtain the remaster?

the cd is probably sold out. i need to listen to Procreation of the Inner Temple more but IIRC the production is so shit that it's hard to hear what's going on. the re-recorded track on the Procreation re-issue sounds killer

Katatonia post BMD is pretty horrible uke:

Incantation's first 3 albums are my favorite death metal but i can see how the 2000-present albums sound samey.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Incantation… I have mixed views with them. They can be a little boring to me, honestly. They play their instruments really well, but…

I love The Chasm though. There's something about their drumming and time signatures that keeps you on your toes. Actually, haven't heard their first three albums, which gotta get on soon.

I pretty much like all Katatonia but haven't heard their last album yet. Dead End Kings is okay. That album can be a little "unauthentically whiny" (whatever this means ) for me at times.

 

[The Butt]

I tried Brave Murder Day again and I just couldn't devote my full attention to it. Decent band but I don't like it.

 

[EspaDa]

Day is such a great track off BMD

 

[The Ozzman]

Digital remaster for only 4 bucks is a nice price. I'll get on that soon.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

yeah Incantation is kinda "samey" but I still love em

 

[CiG]

I respect the consistency that comes with sameyness.

 

[Militant]

I don't like Iron Maiden (don't shoot me).
Mayhem's Grand Declaration of War is good.

 

[CiG]

[HamburgerBoy]

Mayhem's Grand Declaration of War is good.

Second best black metal album (after DMDS).

 

[The Ozzman]

I respect the consistency that comes with sameyness.

Well yeah I can't knock the band either. Those fuckers ruled live and John McEntee is a really nice dude.

 

[Militant]

Second best black metal album (after DMDS).

I personally love the fact that they tried to be different and not "kvlt". If there's anything I hate about black metal it's that it all sounds pretty much the same.
