Controversial opinions on metal

[Manic Ferocity]

I've always enjoyed how mechanical it is. I might be biased though since it was my introduction to the band.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah, 'soulless' is a compliment in this case, as it is with some death metal production jobs. dank, inhuman shit. it's not perfect and i sure as hell wouldn't want every metal album to sound like that, but it's totally unique and it fits.

 

[CiG]

It doesn't sound dank or inhuman, it sounds sterile and like a giant mistake.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Drums sound like utter trash, can't hear the bass, rest sounds okay, songs rule.

The ridiculous overtone on the rhythm guitars is the worst part imo.

I've also only heard one version, but I thought maybe there were other, better sounding versions. Googled it just now and it turns out I was probably just thinking of some interviews where Lars and James have suggested that it might need a remastering or whatever.

I don't know why they've never done a proper remix of it, fans would lap it up and they could right a wrong and Lars could buy some more expensive art.

He should buy an expensive wig, the dome-headed fuck.

That or just shave it and go full bald. Might look alright on him.

He should have put plugs in while he had the chance. Kirk did and it looks ok.

There's really no coming back from this

 

[CiG]

He should just go full-Kerry King and tribal that skull up, bruh.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

his skullet is almost in full effect though.

 

[CiG]

He's probably too posh to rock a fully powered skullet. He should though, his drumming would immediately improve.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i just google searched skullet and his picture is the first one on the third row.

[TechnicalBarbarity]

nothing beats this classic ...

guns, guitars and thongs ftw!

Lmao! just noticed one of those is a video game guitar hhaha

 

[CiG]

That's an impressive metal skullet but my vote for most savage skullets in metal goes to those brothers in Nifelheim.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I feel retarded for taking a minute to realize that the sweaty hair patterns on "their" domes are exactly the same.

 

[The Ozzman]

No mention of Devin Townsend?

 

[CiG]

Not a fan personally.

 

[The Ozzman]

Not a fan personally.

Fair enough, but his skullet was notable

 

[CiG]

What a fucking caveman nerd.

 

[The Ozzman]

He's completely bald now and looks way better hahaha

 

[Satanstoenail]

Like I said, he'd look just fine bald.

I dunno about that. He's got a real moon head.
