Controversial opinions on metal

[RedStorm]

Ehh, besides Transilvanian Hunger, early Dark Thrones stuff could have easily passed as raw garage band death metal. Not really a bad thing though.

What's "raw garage death metal" about Under a Funeral Moon?

 

[Krow]

Lol they literally ARE the sound of black metal on their albums 2 thru 4.

 

[RedStorm]

Not really, more of a mix

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.

Personally i don't care if something is 100% this or that, but a bit of musical history can never hurt and is fun to know at the same time.

Fenriz talks a lot about the death metal riffs on A Blaze in the Northern Sky in the commentary video he does for it. Not sure if you've all seen them, but there are YouTube videos for a lot of Darkthrone albums where the album plays and Fenriz does commentary over them. Interesting stuff.

Here is the one for A Blaze...


The riffs he dislikes in this are some of my favourites.

UAFM


Hunger


There are a few more you can find if you're interested. I haven't found one for Soulside Journey, though.

Raw garage death metal? What a moronic thing to say.

 

[RedStorm]

Holy shit shut your fucking mouth. It's not that hard to understand.

 

[CiG]

No, it doesn't make sense.

Pretty much. Darkthrone epitomize black metal on those albums.

Shit opinion

 

[CiG]

No it's not.

Speaking about yourself here? You're the only one talking nonsense regarding Darkthrone.

 

[no country for old wainds]

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

 

[CiG]

Agreed, the band themselves describe it as still retaining many death metal riffs.

 

[Vilden]

For sure, neither ABITNS or UAFM are "basically garage death metal" though.

 

[CiG]

What actually is "basically garage death metal" anyway?

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Chuck Schuldiner shredding as he fixes the exhaust on his car.

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