Controversial opinions on metal

[The Butt]

Nah.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Nope.

 

[Militant]

Yeah its a DRI knockoff.

ANb is short for Agoraphobic Nosebleed.

Love Agoraphobic Nosebleed.

 

[Militant]

i've always found that FILOSOFEM is an effective gateway album.

Yeah, I guess Filosofem is pretty good. Gotta love Dunkelheit.

 

[CiG]

Best gateway into Black Metal to me was always Under A Funeral Moon, well it was mine anyways, that and Through Chasm, Caves and Titan Woods funnily enough, those riffs are so basic and catchy it's hard not to enjoy that EP.

I don't particularly care about Windir for whatever that opinion is worth (probably nothing) but I don't dislike them, same with Summoning though that's probably just because of the drum machine as the rest of their sound is totally up my alley.

Well you have famously shit taste in black metal, so no surprise.

You like Windir? I thought the average metal elitist hated them. Hella lame, who actually likes Viking metal that isn't Bathory?

EDIT: Oh, it's because the guy died in a blizzard, right? Instant musical cred right there. I guess they're like the hipster's Wintersun or something. Cheesy and flowery as fuck, but still cooler than their peers.

 

[CiG]

Most people I know like them.
I love some Viking Metal myself btw, especially bands that mix it with epic/Doom vibes like Ereb Altor.

 

[no country for old wainds]

^same. windir is lame. rather listen to forefather or somethin'

 

[Slayed Necros]

Cheesy and flowery as fuck

Sums up my thoughts on Windir.

How does getting lost in a blizzard and dying of hypothermia give you heavy metal cred? Its not like he offed himself with a shotgun or something

They're the atmospheric BM find of the year for me. I just imagine myself sitting next to an icy brook in the deep, forested mountains when I listen to their music.

He offered himself to Höðr, that's pretty fucking kvlt.

 

[UltimateApathy]

Somebody recommend some Windir to me, I wanna see what the fuss is all about...

 

[J.]

The shortest one

 

[Satanstoenail]

Cant really hold that against him though, right? HBB doesnt like BM.

Its like saying I have shit taste in Thrash.

I have terrible taste in Gabber.

Check Arntor, and if you liked it, then try 1184.

Forefather is really fun. I just got into them this year and have only listened to their last two albums; I guess they have seven. Is their earlier stuff good?

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I couldn't even get into Windir when I was still a Children of Bodom fan, which is saying some serious shit.
