Controversial opinions on metal

[Vilden]

Right. It's not even controversial.

While we're at it. I only own Hate Forest's Battlefields and love it. Are their other albums worth checking out?

I don't really know because I'm in the same boat but I think there are a few on this board that would enjoy Battlefields atleast.

Sorrows is my favorite from them and one of the finest moments in BM overall. Purity is pretty good as well, but it's been awhile.

I’m very left-leaning, but I still buy NSBM records. I take a consequentialist perspective on the issue. I figure giving a few bucks to some relatively powerless, pissed off, racist musicans playing an obscure subgenre of metal in Eastern Europe is nowhere near as damaging to the world as giving money to the oil tycoons who profit everytime I fill my car.

How come Dak shows up right as this turns into the Mort thread? Do you have a social justice radar?

I lurk this side a few times a week. Just most of the talk in this thread is cyclical and about bands I don't care to argue about.

A Vision of Misery is better than Human. There, back on track.

 

[Mort Divine]

huh a good album is better than a bad album

who would have thought

Yeah, most likely. Human got so fucking boring after enough listens. Cosmic Sea has a nostalgia factor for me, probably my first favorite metal song thanks to its use as the opening theme to the video game Damage Incorporated, but that's it. Schuldiner pretty much forgot how to write a decent riff after Leprosy.

nowadays, once l heard flattenings of emotions, the rest of the album never stack's up
l prefer itp over human for the third or fourth etc version of death

 

[Sirjack]

....but masvidal blew me away
him and reinhart
and tony choy

 

[EchoForever]

I’m not crying about it. Just think it’s pretty ridiculous to deny its existence.

man you just had to say something fucking stupid didnt you

the best death album is leprosy and the best song from human is suicide machine

 

[CiG]

PULL THE PLUUURRRRG!

 

[Sirjack]

yeah im pretty sure l voted leprosy for best death album in the poll but l ain't talking about that era. but no, l disagree, the best song is flattening of emotions. particularly the solo and reinharts drums under it.

 

[DisconnectedFromReality]

End it now, it is the only way
Too cruel, that is what they say
Release me from this lonely world
There is no hope

 

[EchoForever]

Soulside Journey is the best Darkthrone album



INTO THE ABYSS I FALL

 

[Satanstoenail]

Same. Except Tony Choy didn’t play on Human unfortunately, Steve DiGiorgio did. And his weird fretless bass tone didn’t fit in the mix so he got buried.

No, it isn't. It's their best death metal album.

 

[DisconnectedFromReality]

Filosofem is actually Darkthrone's best album ;^)
