Controversial opinions on metal

[MrTagoMago]

He's talking to me, because its metal fact that the other subgenres of metal you listen to directly relate to what youre currently talking about. It's proven fact (on this board)

Also BDM = brutal death metal.

I should've realized this though I kept thinking blackened death metal for some reason. I don't like brutal death metal (specifically the genre itself) but I listen to stuff that's even further away from what many here would call real music.

 

[MrTagoMago]

I do feel the need to say that I hate how with certain music fandoms there's these certain bands and albums you're just expected or supposed to like. When I listened primarily to metal there were people who couldn't stand that I didn't care for Metallica, Slayer, or Iron Maiden. A while back I got flack from a guy who couldn't stand that I thought Can was a legitimately better band than Led Zeppelin. I still feel I should be honest about how I feel otherwise there's no point in discussion.

Around here those bands are The Chasm, Manilla Road, and Arch-era Fates Warning.

I actually prefer it when less dumbasses like the bands I love, so it's all good.

Never heard of The Chasm and I used to be big into Manilla road but haven't listened or been interested in them for a while. I am huge on John Arch Fates Warning or hell Fates in general.

 

[alex76]

I made a derogatory remark about The Chasm once on here. The backlash was such that I had considered checking myself into a mental institution. Now, every time I see the name of THAT band, I'm triggered.

Where are the social justice warriors when you need them?

And most trad doom, especially Pagan Altar and Saint Vitus. X)

 

[alex76]

... and if you want a shitstorm, say something about King Diamond.

Hell, I think that is even a bannable offense!

 

[EspaDa]

But we do appreciate Lars Ulrich's drumming skills and always try to defend St. Anger's name.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I prefer Ulrich's drumming on the first four Metallica albums to Lombardo's drumming on the first two Slayer albums, or virtually anything Charlie Benante has done.

Needs more Sacramentum.

 

[CiG]

Needs more 3rd and 4th Autopsy albums.

I'm a shameless fanboy of The Chasm. Do yourself a favour and listen to Deathcult for Eternity, Procession to the Infraworld and Conjuration of the Spectral Empire. All of their albums are worthy, though.

 

[The Ozzman]

I checked out 5 of the first 6 Sabbath albums again (not Paranoid) and my favorites right now are Master of Reality and Sabotage.

 

[Phylactery]

Those 2 might be my favourite as well.

 

[The Ozzman]

SBS is growing on me too. I used to not like the tone of Ozzy's voice on that album.

 

[alex76]

That's about when Ozzy's buzz-whine vocal style fully formed.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Children of the damned is a poor mans Beyond the realms of death.

 

[alex76]

No.
