Controversial opinions on metal

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Not big on Windir or 1349, but aside from that, A1 list. *thumbs up*

Thanks, I would've put more, but I felt what I gave him was sufficient for beginner exploration of the subgenre.

No, I don't need 4th tier Darkthrone knockoffs. It's more a lack of funds than anything because I would rather buy some of this shit than listen to it on Spotify out of order.

Didn't ask you about that, just if you wanted to branch into the more obscure, but still quality outfits in the music.

I need to still get some of the first tier shit still haha

I figured as much, just wondering, sounds good.

Frost's Cursed Again is the most blatant DMDS rip-off I'm aware of.

Electric Wizard are so boring, so of course you think this about doom metal.

To put it this way, Electic Wizard was something I liked when I used to sniff glue. Black Masses is a great song, though. Stuff like that is only appreciable under the influence of drugs, which is why stoners like it so much.

Conversely, black metal is a genre for the intelligent and the sober, as it's more based in emotion as opposed to "whoa, that sounds cool". Granted, Dunkelheit by Burzum "sounds cool", but it is also heavily atmospheric.

MetalSucks sucks.

Varg Vikernes drinks non alcoholic beer, but I did see a video of Absurd live, in which Wolf held a horn of mead up...

As far as intelligence goes, Varg Vikernes is certainly very intelligent, and those who say otherwise simply fear his intelligence, for it might bring about views that conflict with yours.

Varg is an intelligent person, but he does not by any means represent the overall average type of person that listens to black metal.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Varg is full of shit and only comes off as intelligent if you assume an edgy murderous neo-pagan innawoods weirdo is going to be clinically disabled.

 

[CiG]

edgy murderous neo-pagan innawoods weirdo > guy who attempts to make an art out of masturbation and thinks black metal isn't metal, though.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

At least I don't record my art over a crappy headset microphone and tell people it's anything other than masturbation.

 

[CiG]

Yes but he offers it and we can take it or not take it, you just expose your filth to us with no warning nor choice offered, fucker.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Don't kid yourself, you want it.

It's the "I don't want to read this... I can't stop myself I must read it"-paradox.

Which is not doom metal, just regular heavy metal. I like Witchfinder General and Electric Wizard, but every other doom metal band is a rip off of Black Sabbath. Doom metal just lacks originality.

Epicus Doomicus Metallicus was definitely not just a Black Sabbath clone. That's just one of many albums that could be named. The artists that you named in this post have more gratuitous similarities to Black Sabbath than that album.
