Controversial opinions on metal

[HamburgerBoy]

Because Summoning has muh vikings. People would call Kent black metal if they threw a drawing of Odin on a cover.

If everyone would just agree to call Agalloch and Deafheaven black metal, then a helluva lot of unnecessary nitpicking will be avoided. People don't have much of a problem calling Summoning black metal, oddly enough.

Not that I don't like Agalloch, because I'm a big fan but I'm pretty sure we could create a genre for them. Starbucks metal, perhaps?

Summoning lyrics about vikings? What album am i missing?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I just assumed tbh. What are they? Lord of the Rings? All I know is that their music is riffless "symphonic" trash.

Surprise surprise.

Lord of the Rings is just a ripoff of Viking mythology anyways, so same thing.

I think you get off from making people cringe at your bad opinions.

Honest question, do people actually like Lord of the Rings? I mean, a lot of people seem to like Blind Guardian and Burzum so I guess they do, but it seems kinda embarrassing to me.

I like the books, but the portrayal of Frodo in the movies is pretty hard to watch tbh. They made him such a wuss

That's exactly what some nobody that doesn't know shit about Lord Of The Rings would say.

I read The Hobbit as a kid and thought it was shit.

 

[CiG]

Yet you jizz over Lamb Of God.

Maybe your imagination was defunct when you were a kid. LotR as a series is a must read for everyone. Hobbit was not as interesting as LotR for me but how can one does not feel excitement as a kid when Bilbo and crew entered Mirkwood?

I hated broccoli as a kid.

High fantasy has a really low imagination pre-requisite. The author always spells everything out for the reader.

I don't like any of these Harry Potter movies or whatever.

Yet you jizz over Lamb Of God.

I don't think he was jizzing over Lamb of God as much as saying black metal is shit and he needs to stop because I'm getting tired of it.

 

[CiG]

He's only embarrassing himself anyway.

I was talking more specifically about Summoning in that post, who are arguably more pseduo symphonycore than black metal.
