Controversial opinions on metal

[Vilden]

Not 100% if I agree but it is an opinion I can respect for sure. Have you seen the live videos from the 90s on youtube? Fucking heavy and oppressive stuff!

Edit: Streetcleaner is probably my all time fav album title too.

Haven't seen live videos will check out that one you posted. I read they probably got the title Street cleaner from a Whitehouse song.

Controversial opinion. This review at the top of the page is amateurish and looks like a toddler wrote it.

Autopsy, Death, Morbid Angel, etc.

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Two, three, and one, respectively.

Yeah, recount those genius.

Controversial opinion. God flesh - Street cleaner is the most scary and evil sounding metal album.

Its certainty up there. I love all their albums but the vibe they captured on Streetcleaner is a once in a lifetime type of sound. So oppressive. "NOW FEEL THIS". Fucking felt.

Have you heard the album Cop by Swans?

 

[EchoForever]

if you havent listened to swans you need to
their my favorite band
albums like Public Castration Is A Good Idea, Swans Are Dead, and Cop are some fucking aggressive, relentless releases

 

[Phylactery]

Yeah, so it's cancer personified except for D.R.I. and Pantera? Good to know.

Pantera are pretty much as terrible as most of those bands on that link.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Have you heard the album Cop by Swans?

Of course. Immensely powerful album, same as Filth, Greed and Holy Money. The influence it had on Godflesh is obvious.

 

[EchoForever]

the influence any of those albums had on most extreme music is obvious

 

[MrTagoMago]

Is it controversial to say Cop was the heaviest album of 1984?

 

[EchoForever]

i think you confuse normal opinions with controversy
something controversial would be someone saying "slayer wasnt original and is a shit band"
maybe thats a little extreme but you know what i mean

 

[Phylactery]

There's also the fact that "heaviness" means different things to different people. For example some find brutal death metal to be heavy while I don't really.

I figured someone would disagree on the grounds that Swans isn't metal so it can't be the heaviest sorta like when someone thought it was dumb when is said Finnish hardcore punk from the early 80s was more brutal than metal at the time.

Also my opinion on Slayer isn't that extreme but it's not far off.

I don't even find Bdm to be brutal like the name suggests just really boring, but yeah I've had people tell me that lyrics are actually an element to being heavy.
