Controversial opinions on metal

[Talos of Atmora]

What's the opinion here on Portal? As close as metal can get to being riffless IMO.

I think they suck.

Never heard of them.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Not a fan of Portal. Even taking for granted that they are supposed to be atmospheric and texture-y and shit, I don't find the atmosphere very compelling.

Plenty of bands can create the same texture and actually have melodies/phrases/motifs in there too, so yeah, they're talentless hacks.

I like the video game.

Yeah, their music really does come off as a pretentious, gray soup of noise that was put together without any real structure.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Yeah the video game is cool.

Being a bm-fan and not owning every single Bathory-album and buying new shit like random DSBM, some Mgla albun or other hipster shit or something is pouserdom incarnated. </fanboy rant>

Hey, what's wrong with Mgla? They're pretty good. Obviously Bathory is better but still.

Nothing is wrong with Mgla. Good BM but Bathory all sounds the same so how can you say that band is better? At least Mgla is unique

 

[Phylactery]

I'm a bit lost here, how does all Bathory sound the same?

I actually thought mgla was just gibberish.

Under the sign of the black mark sounds so much like Hammerheart.

Sorry, I meant Bathory brings nothing to the table.

 

[Phylactery]

It's Polish, the l has funny accent on it - Mgła. It means fog in Polish. I'm not sure you'd like them but give With Hearts Toward None a shot anyway.

 

[The Ozzman]

I own the latest Mgla release

I need to spend more time with it, I've only listened to it once properly but it seemed promising.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Well that's idiotic of you.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Bathory all sounds the same

What planet do you live on?

 

[MrTagoMago]

I really don't get this Bathory hate at all. I'm sorry but Under the sign of the black mark is pretty much black metal perfection and is easily more enjoyable than any Norwegian black metal album.

I wouldn't go that far, but it certainly kicks arse.
