Controversial opinions on metal

Play a real Pokémon game fags

the theory of pogo is great imo, it’s just kind of shit in practice especially these days. i loved it at first when it was just wandering around trying to find gen 1s and it actually felt like being a protagonist in the og games. i still play it a bit but only ‘cause my parents do lmao

When I first read this, I thought: "What? Pogo has got a theory?" Well, maybe this one:



(Reading your second sentence makes it, of course, clear that this is not the type of pogo you meant.)

I keep trying to get into the new Morbific, dunno if it's just me but this feels like a yuge step down from the debut.

 

[SonOfNun]

I was gonna blind buy it, but maybe I should do a full listen now that the audio is out there. I did enjoy the couple of pre-release tracks I listened to.

 

[CiG]

Yeah so did I, but hearing the full album there's something off about it. No interesting riffs, the sound mixing is trying too hard to be Filthy™ etc. Maybe it's just a grower, tracks like "Suicide Sanctum" rule but the rest is just kinda eh...

This is one of the worst distributed new releases I've yet encountered (in the U.S.).

You can't get a hold of it?

Headsplit had a few copies and sold out right away and now there's pretty much no U.S. distro I've seen that has it. One overpriced CD on Discogs. I'm gonna have to buy from Europe probably. It's growing on me.

 

[CiG]

Too slow bro, granny-shifting not double-clutching like you should.

 

[SonOfNun]

Some twat made me second-guess myself.

burzum's filosofem should really be classified as raw black metal and not just regular black metal

 

[CiG]

Why?

 

[no country for old wainds]

if anything it’s the definitive precursor to atmo black, not raw bm at all.

 

[CiG]

Exactly my thoughts.

 

[Akthol]

so your telling me this doesn't sound like raw bm?


compare this to other burzum songs

 

[CiG]

Sure it's more abrasive but compare it to actual RBM:



It becomes very obvious that the rawness on "Jesus' Tod" is an aesthetic attempt to conjure an atmosphere. Each element, while raw, is still very clear and delineated.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i mean some burzum is rawer than other burzum, but i don't think any burzum is close to being at the rawer end of BM, if it was it wouldn't have so much mainstream acceptance. a definitive raw bm album is something like this, harsh lo-fi alienating inaccessible shit. filosofem is honestly pretty enveloping, tuneful and peaceful even by the standards of regular BM let alone the raw stuff.

 

[CiG]

Hulder is boring.

Anytime I try to check her music out, I almost inevitably tune out. Granted I'm not the biggest black metal fan, but usually I can at least see the appeal in something.



This just sounds so shit to me. Am I crazy?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Never heard of, can't be that controversial to dislike. Listening to this track and it's not bad but very lethargic-sounding. Like every time the opening motif comes back it really should be this rousing fuck yeah here we go again moment but both the drumming and the guitars are so limp you feel nothing.
