Controversial opinions on metal

[TechnicalBarbarity]

dont care for the band much, especially the shitty album this track is from. But i really like this song.

interesting little tidbit i came across ....

A study conducted by VVN Music found Tankian to possess a moderately-high and diverse vocal range, not only in metal, but in all of popular music, with a range of 4.2 octaves. This range is comparable to Rob Halford, Elvis Presley, Anthony Kiedis, Hansi Kürsch, and Steven Tyler (range of 4 octaves and 1 note).

Korn and Slipknot were inspired. Count Raven or Memory Garden? lolnothx.

I have no problem that you prefer monolithically terrible bands.

 

[no country for old wainds]

@Slayed Necros not to mention THE CHEMICAL WEDDING and GALLOPING THROUGH THE BATTLE RUINS and OBSCURA and SOULBLIGHT and SNOWLAND and NEW MOTHERFUCKING DARK AGE.

Concerning late 90s metal, I've been making preliminary top ten lists for each year and check out this fucking list for 1998. I had no idea the year was this strong:

1. The Chasm - Deathcult for Eternity: The Triumph
2. Runemagick - The Supreme Force of Eternity
3. Grand Belial's Key - Mocking the Philanthropist
4. Aeternus - ...And So the Night Became
5. Morbid Angel - Formulas Fatal to the Flesh
6. Mortem - The Devil Speaks in Tongues
7. Inquisition - Into the Infernal Regions of the Ancient Cult
8. Incantation - Diabolical Conquest
9. Nox Intempesta - Damnanus-Dominum
10. Nifelheim - Devil's Force

Pretty much on par with any year in the early 90s, possibly better.

Obscura >>>> everything on that list.

Yeah, exactly. That was one of the tougher lists. I need to revisit a few of those for my finalised list, particularly Obscura and New Dark Age. I'm entirely unfamiliar with The Chemical Wedding.

that's surprising given i've been pimping that album for over 10 years probably! get on it yo

The Sound of Perseverance

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

was that even on his list?

Not even close tbh. Obscura is a masterpiece of the highest order. And as good as TSoP is, it's not even a top 3 Death album. no comparison imo.

LMAO at Obscura being better than Deathcult, Mocking the Philanthropist, or Into the Infernal Regions

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... not just better, but far better.

 

[CiG]

Obscura are lame, overproduced shit.

 

[Baroque]

Obscura are lame, overproduced shit.

psst, he was talking about the Gorguts album

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

@CASSETTEISGOD were talking about the album, dummy. The band wasnt even around back in 98, lol.

And you're wrong anyway, they're one of best modern tech-death bands around.

 

[The Butt]

Nah man Obscura has that covered

 

[CiG]

Oh! My bad, just scanning this shitfest. I love Obscura by Gorguts!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

One page, people are shitting on nu metal. Next page, people are praising an avant-nu/death metal album.

idgi

Have you heard Negativa? Killer piece of work from the two masterminds that were behind Obscura ....Lemay and Big Steeve Hurdle(RIP)

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

>hamburgayboy

What's his count again, bruh? 160-170 facepalms?

 

[CiG]

I haven't but I'll check it out! Also, I hear no nu-metal in Obscura...
