Controversial opinions on metal

[H.P. Lovecraft]

I just went to check out some new Kreator to see how Mille's sounding these days and holy cringe

He sounds fine. What are you on about?

His voice is ok, much better than when I saw them last but the song is cringeworthy as hell.

It's just a salute to rock's fallen, nothing that cringeworthy there.

It's a lame generic euro pop metal song with cheesy lyrics. I haven't kept up with what Kreator have been doing for some time so this comes as a bit of a shock to me.

If Kreator wanted to write a song dedicated to Lemmy, they probably shouldn't have written a song that sounds like leftover Ministry material.

For his higher range, Your Heaven, My Hell, Hordes of Chaos (A Necrologue For The Elite), Radical Resistance, Destroy What Destroys You, for a few. Mostly ranging from C5 to D5 in terms of it. For his lower range, Death Becomes My Light and As We Watch The West particularly. And then overall, Absolute Misanthropy and Amok Run display an immense range for single tracks.

Fair enough, checked out a few of these at least and he definitely sings more than on earlier stuff. I suppose it really bothers me because Renewal and Cause for Conflict are the post-PTK albums I find to be the most redeeming musically/song-wise, but the vocals on those annoy me the most of all. By the time he found an acceptable middle ground, the music turned to kinda schlocky melothrash.

I think he sounds fucking ruthless of Terrible Certainty and even on Extreme Aggression, albeit he sung a little too much with clean vocals on that.

<As the World Burns>

I think the biggest problem with him is that he sounds best on songs that are very fast and aggressive, but Kreator started to faff around a lot with their songs in the 1990's. They're a meat and potatoes thrash metal band that tried to step up into different things and basically fucked themselves.

Is it controversial to say that As the World Burns is a fucking horrible song and inappropriately upbeat? I hate that song so much.

I'm not sure you have any opinions that aren't controversial. Pretty impressive.

I disagree with it being "schlocky" melothrash, but I can see where that might happen for someone.

Riot of Violence is my favorite Kreator song, closely followed by Ripping Corpse.

 

[CF87]

Death Metal Batman is going to beat you down tonight, you aint so tough now.

You're not wrong there.

edit; Ripping Corpse is a 5 star track for me, one of their best ... and Riot of Violence isnt too far behind. at 4.5 stars.

title track 4eva

 

[CiG]

"...ripping corpse attaaayaaaaaaarrrggghhhhhhhckkkkk...."

 

[Phylactery]

The title track has that part that just commands you to headbang.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The whole song should have been that part (assuming you're talking about the slower section).
