Controversial opinions on metal

[no country for old wainds]

i bet he's got a folder of gifs ready to respond to this specific request

Man, i need to check more of their stuff out ... especially those earlier albums.

Nothing else they did really sounds like the debut, but everything the band did is worth checking out at least once.

 

[The Butt]

People who hate Bathory are fags, whether he "ripped off Venom/Manowar" or not. I could think of worse bands to rip off, like probably half of the riff-soup bands HBB jerks it to.

so was 2016 a really shitty year for doom or what?

Also, can you please explain what you meant by "non-academic American"? Just curious.

What I meant was, I'm more inclined to take a pronunciation correction seriously if the person correcting me is an academic.

so was 2016 a really shitty year for doom or what?

There were a number of doom metal releases that came out that I liked. Especially the Barren Grounds EP by Altar Of Oblivion.

define what/who an academic is.

 

[CiG]

define what an academic is.

This is what I meant: a teacher or scholar in a university or other institute of higher education.

[Baroque]

its a liberal driven school that's a part of the system that is and has been brainwashing the youth of this country since the 60's and 70's. the children of frankfurt and saul alinsky. filth if you ask me.

 

[Baroque]

So all of their other research in physics astronomy and so on is shitty because you disagree with their social science department

well shit, this totally passed me by, thanks! anything else you liked? i've heard various solid stuff like spiritus mortis, lord vicar, stone magnum, mountain witch, spirit adrift - can't say any of it wowed me though.

social science department

 

[Baroque]

[HamburgerBoy]

Did Manowar invent the whole manly/epic backing vocals/choirs/"ahhhh ahhh aaaaahhhhh ahhhhh" thing that Bathory incorporated in their viking era?

Unless you're talking about a different thing, I always attribute that to Priest (e.g. Run of the Mill, Dreamer Deceiver).

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

thanks for pointing that out, i had no clue.

One of the most liberal driven schools ------>>> "its just the social science department bro" ... do you not see why that made me chuckle? Actually, im going to guess no. But anyway, i'd rather not fuck one of my favorite threads up with all this talk about the poisonous universities out here.
