Controversial opinions on metal

[CiG]

What actually is "basically garage death metal" anyway?

 

[The Butt]

Shit opinion

Cease saying dumb bullshit immediately. That's an order, ensign.

I believe in some interviews with fenriz and culto (up on youtube) they even talk about how they used a lot of their older death metal riffs on A blaze... that they just slowed down or reshaped a bit, and it's only on UaFM that every riff is full on black metal (as in, i guess, not old DM riffs squeezing into songs) or whathave you. But this is sort of besides the point and doesn't really matter, because for what it is it's hard or near impossible to not call a blaze... 100% bm, but that is a cool bit of info that i found intriguing as a fan and somewhat musical mind..

Blaze may have death metal sections and riffs sprinkled in, but the essence and atmosphere of black metal is there 100%. To call it anything other than such is absurd. So I agree with Yerf as well.

 

[RedStorm]

Dark throne is raw garage death metal.

 

[Phylactery]

Do you even like any Darkthrone?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Goatlord is one of the original prog death metal albums, even if it's raw and potentially recorded in a garage.

 

[Krow]

Goatlord is blah. Darkthrone saved themselves from decades of mediocrity by becoming Crustthrone.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

No, Crustthrone and Manillathrone and Agenthrone are definitely extensions of their continued mediocrity.

 

[Phylactery]

Goatlord is blah. Darkthrone saved themselves from decades of mediocrity by becoming Crustthrone.

Goatlord is awesome. What don't you like about it?

I've heard some of the Fenriz commentary tracks that Phylactery posted but not in a while so correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Fenriz critique his own drumming for being too death metal-esque in the commentary for Blaze, referring to it as "fancy pants"?

 

[Phylactery]

Yeah, at one point he says something like "this is way too fancy, who am I, Neil Peart?" haha. He also talks about trying to drown out some of the riffs he doesn't like by hammering the double bass.

Watching some Fenriz interviews and he mentions he was originally the vocalist for the band. I'm glad Nocturno took over, definitely one of my favourite extreme metal vocalists. Fenriz also comes out with some rather ridiculous things and he isn't particularly articulate. I find his obsession with talking about the 70s and 80s constantly to be tiring.

What's got your titties in a squeeze?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

QFT=quoted for truth ... ya' dumb cunt.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

i'd actually agree there's still a lil DM in ABITNS. UAFM is pure BM though.

There definitely is. That said, when people say ABitNS is not black metal, it's absurd.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Goatlord is blah. Darkthrone saved themselves from decades of mediocrity by becoming Crustthrone.

They moved from mediocrity to adequacy. Albums that are enjoyable for 7-8 listens and then are basically forgotten until the next one comes out.

 

[The Butt]

LOL @ calling new Darkthrone "adequate".

 

[CiG]

Can't even be bothered.

 

[Vilden]

Fenriz and Nocturno Culto are nice blokes and all, but newer Darkthrone is very forgettable imo.

 

[CiG]

I'm always getting newer Darkthrone songs stuck in my head, for example "Too Old Too Cold" or "Raised on Rock" or "Those Treasures Will Never Befall You" etc.

This might be a controversial opinion, Defenders Of The Faith is very below average.
