Controversial opinions on metal

[Phylactery]

I wouldn't call Deathhammer top tier, but Phantom Knights is some pretty fucking good thrash. I'm not familiar with any of their other stuff.

i would never take anything you say seriously. The fact of the matter is you live your life on the internet and we both know that you wouldn't even walk my way in real life, let alone talk shit. And at least my Armenian ancestry didn't breed butt-plunging faggots such as yourself. My rich bloodline continues, your filthy bloodline will not. You know why, because you my friend are sick. Not as sick as mort, but your up there ... all one has to do is read through your famous posts in the social forum to see the evidence.

lmao, your bloodline has been reduced to a shitty smidgen in one of the worst parts of the Eurasian supercontinent and a bunch of chain-wearing faux-guidos in Southern California. Your kind doesn't stand a chance against the Anglo homosexual machine, which will gradually re-sensitize your kin to the pleasures of the cock, as it has all other cultures subjugated to it. You've already begun to crack under its prodigious size. Your thick, lustrous hairy bodies will soon belong to me.

Well obviously you would disagree, since a lot of the great albums from that year are black metal.

Sacramentum, Burzum, Vinterland, Nastrond, Kvist, Summoning, Falkenbach, Blut aus Nord, Bethlehem, Moonblood etc

Then we have some death metal like:

Adramelech, Immolation and Grotesque (I'm aware this was recorded well before 1996).

I'll give Immolation a pass.

Doom metal was strong all through the 1990's.

Not particularly, the best bands had already released their best stuff earlier, and the doom metal sub-sub-genres formed are mostly garbage.

What are these 3 albums you have as 4 stars from that year?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I wouldn't call Deathhammer top tier, but Phantom Antichrist is some pretty fucking good thrash..

indeed it is, but im trying to figure out what that album has to do with Deathammer or merciless death. Deathammer are okay, but they're so far from being top tier thrash ... so fuckin' far

 

[HamburgerBoy]

What are these 3 albums you have as 4 stars from that year?

Cryptopsy - None So Vile
Annon Vin - A New Gate
Nevermore - The Politics of Ecstasy (the one due for a down-rating)

Wrong. Solstice, Scald, Solitude Aeturnus (Through the Darkest Hour and Downfall are pure quality), Mourn, Year Zero, Come My Fanatics is Electric Wizard's pinnacle in my opinion, Trouble's 1990 self titled is pure quality, Pentagram's Be Forewarned is pure quality, Saint Vitus have yet to release a bad album, The Obsessed's second and third album are very strong, Count Raven are a 90's band, While Heaven Wept's debut, Revelation are a 90's band, Memory Garden, Warning's debut, Memento Mori, Iron Man, Abstrakt Algebra, Doomsword's debut, Penance, Sorcerer, Gods Tower, Lost Breed, Internal Void, Forsaken, and on and on and on...

yeah sorry, they're not top-tier thrash like your beloved Deathammer and merciless death(one of the worst bands to come out of the thrash revival scene). lmao

Thanks for reminding me to listen to some Deathhammer.

I was going by my 1994 cut-off, early 90s were objectively still a part of the 80s.

 

[CiG]

Way to goalpost shift, but still with that in mind majority of what I listed still stands.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I'd unironically rather listen to nu metal than the majority of what you listed.

 

[no country for old wainds]

important question for you hbb: which is better, 36 crazyfists or taproot?

 

[CiG]

Precisely why people should start ignoring your views on things like this. You're quite clearly detached from any semblance of rational thought when it comes to music.

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

I've never heard of 36 Crazyfists although I think I've heard Taproot before. Rec me your favorite of each and I'll listen to them.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i don't have a favourite for either and was just naming two random nu metal bands i vaguely remember from kerrang tv, but thx for the response

[TechnicalBarbarity]

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

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

bro, didnt you know that you need to ask for my permission before using that meme!?

ITT I learned that HBB would rather listen to nu metal than Count Raven, Warning, Trouble, Sorcerer, Solstice and Doomsword.

[Slayed Necros]

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.

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).

I have no problem that you prefer monolithically terrible bands.
