[The Ozzman]

Implying that it's somehow surprising to you

Thought this was supposed to be controversial opinions on metal ;-)

It was supposed to answer a previous post, it wasn't a statement.

Akerfeldt comparing DP to Sabbath is almost like comparing Cathedral to My Dying Bride.

Not really. DP and Sabbath are both classic groups. MDB and Cathedral are garbage bands in a (mostly) garbage genre

They're both worlds better than Trivium and Avenged Sevenfold.

One statement is controversial and the other isn't ;-)

Only half controversial, not a big fan of Cathedral. They're God-tier compared to drivel like Trivium though.

Not the same genre so you can't really compare. It's like comparing a Mosin Nagant to a Glock. The only similarity is that both are firearms.

I will tell you that I would rather listen to Trivium or Avenged Sevenfold than most doom metal though. Not sure why we're going to get into this argument again because it's been established that I don't like most doom metal *shrug*

Tbh Cathderal redeemed themselves to me with The Last Spire. Massive album and perfect farewell for a band that had kind of lost their way.

LIVING IN THE SHADOOOWWWW..... OF A DAMNED CATHEDRAAAAL.

Maybe I'll check that out. Didn't like anything through The Garden of Unearthly Delights

I doubt you’re going to like it honestly. But they went back from all that nonsense they had been doing to just heavy doom metal. Bone crunching stuff, if nothing else.

Agreed, it's unfair comparing metal to non-metal.

I'll bite even though you're trolling: How are those two bands not metal?

Cathedral after the first album is dogshit.

Pretty much, though I do always hear that The Last Spire is good stuff. Haven't gotten around to it yet myself.

Garbage like Heafy metal? at least on doom metal you won't find such brazen riff/vocal plagiarism.

The Garden of Unearthly Delights

horrible album
