Controversial opinions on metal

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Symbolic wipes the floor with everything else that came out that year ... STONE COLD FACT!

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Thousands Swords is a massively overrated Graveland record. The weakest release from that era.

I'm curious as to which one @J. 's favorite is. He's the guy who basically introduced me to the band.

Storm of the Lights Bane is better than The Somberlain and Where Dead Angels Lie is a great song. Fucking in-crowd elitists! x(

I agree that Thousand Swords is abit overrated, not in the sense that it isn't as good as people say (I probably like it more than most) but because it isn't the best Graveland ever. It will obviously make my list though.

Without thinking too hard about it, Bergtatt will without a doubt be my highest black metal(ish) pick that year.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Storm of the Light's Bane and Mutiilation's Vampires of Black Imperial are the best two black metal albums from 95. Complaining about Where Dead Angels Lie is some in crowd bullshit.

As for Thousand Swords, I probably laid it on a little too hard. I remember it being hyped as one of the greatest black metal albums ever and failing to live up to those expectations, which has always left a bit of a bad taste on that record for me. It's still a B, B+ record, but stands in the shadows of The Celtic Winter, Carpathian Wolves, Following the Voice of Blood, and Immortal Pride.

Where Dead Angels Lie is apparently the most known Dissection track but it's not bad by no means.

Following the Voice of Blood, hands down.

These are all lies . The Somberlain is much better.

Also, since when is thinking that Where Dead Angels Lie is the weakest song on the album an in-crowd opinion? It's just completely bland and uninteresting. I'm not huge on Thorns of Crimson Death either.

[The Butt]

I've never liked Dissection much tbh. Oops.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Same. They are fine, but I doubt any of their releases will make my top 10 for that year.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Following the Voice of Blood, hands down.

Right answer!
