Controversial opinions on metal

[Elric of Melniboné]

Yet you're still posting about it so it must not be boring

I was unaware that all conversations are interesting.

"I want to win this conversation so I'm still posting about it even though I've explicitly stated your comments are boring"

 

[MrTagoMago]

Please post empirical evidence of that

If you wanna think that Under the sign of the black mark sounds like Twilight of the gods that's fine with me.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Yeah, I'm not trying to win this conversation because it isn't a competitive activity at all.

If Ozzman didn't join the site 10 years ago I'd think that was when he was born. I myself need to stop having these petty online arguments.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I wonder what you have to be smoking if you think these two things sound the same.





Even this doesn't sound the same as the first song and they're both songs from Bathory's black metal era.

 

[The Ozzman]

You mad

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

And you deaf

So...any thoughts on my last opinion I posted here? Anybody?

I didn't know black metal wasn't supposed to have bass :/ maybe that's why I don't like second wave stuff though now that I think about it.

It's a cliche that is often not borne out - tons of BM bands have interesting and clearly audible bass parts. In fact I'd say bass is more important in BM than it is in dm or thrash, where the bass line is usually identical to whatever the guitar is playing and therefore almost indistinguishable.

That doesn't really explain why you don't like Darkthrone because it's a pretty good feature in their classic era.

Yes, especially on the track I mentioned. It really sounds menacing with the sound they had on Under a Funeral Moon.

Well with Second wave Black metal I noticed a lot of it feels weightless to me so that's what I was thinking.

Hmm...you know what? I could actually see that being the case when someone might listen to Emperor.

I like the use of bass on the album Energetic disassembly but Ive seen people complain about the fact you can hear it. The Japanese band Doom had an excellent and innovative bassist.

Emperor actually is a better example of a band who I feel this way about.

I think it's a combination of the the guitar tone and the keys that could throw someone off. I mean, I like it but still, I've heard that complaint from others before and I can see what they mean in that regard.

Yeah it is a little annoying on that album though. Obliveon get it about right IMO.
