Controversial opinions on metal

[Einherjar86]

Well, I know there are lots of people here who enjoy folk metal, and lots of people who don't. Either way, I think it's a bit much to call Eluveitie the most boring, awful, wankerish shite on the face of this earth.

 

[MURAI]

Domination is Morbid Angels best album.

no

 

[waif]

I dunno. It's up there.

Controversial opinion: I still cannot fathom all the negative reactions to Eluveitie. They're far from one of my favorite bands, but I don't see how some people can declare their music boring or "horrible." I've listened to a good deal of celtic folk metal, and Eluveitie has a distinct sound. Their instrumentals are catchy, for the most part. It's folk melodies on top of mediocre melodeath, and the only conclusion I can reach as to why people loathe this group is that they despise celtic folk music.

Thank you

I liked them before Paganfest was even announced or Slania came out. Sure, they're not the best band out there but they are pretty awesome and I like them a lot.

And I never said everyone loved them and they were AMAZING but I saw a lot of people thought they were cool and thought they were great at Paganfest but now that they are on Paganfest 2 and have toured the US twice, they are a "trendy band" and they suck and are unoriginal.

It's funny.

They're fucking nu-metal with flutes. Horrible, terrible, awful, horrendous band, the epitome of everything bad about music. Fuck them.

Says the guy with the "brokeNCYDE" sig

 

[General Zaroff]

Domination is pretty good but not their best.

A, C, G, D, F, B imo.

in b4 an hero, faggot, fuck you, , etc...

Domination has my favorite overall track (Where The Slime Lives), but isn't the best album.

 

[Black Friday]

It's DACGFB for me.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

You guys are stupid. It's all about Altars.

 

[Zephyrus]

Werd.

Domination has my favorite overall track (Where The Slime Lives), but isn't the best album.

At least we agree on how kick-ass that song is. The evilness exuding from every pore on that song makes me shit bricks.

 

[General Zaroff]

Where The Slime Lives fucking rules. Dominate does too. The rest of the album is alright but nothing compared to those two songs.

You think Eluveitie is nu-metal? I know that you're an asshole, but I never thought you were an idiot.

 

[Omni]

You realize that he deliberately exaggerated how bad they were in that post, right? Oh, wait. You actually don't.

 

[alex76]

Crap, I think I'd have to put Morbid Angels stuff in alphabetical order!

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

They're generic Gothenburg melodeth with folk instruments playing in the background.

Every now and then they are folk metal with some melodeath parts, switching the styles around kind of tactlessly. Those are their best songs though.

 

[Mort Divine]

they're doing an all acoustic album soon hopefully that won't suck

 

[Omni]

It's probably going to be generic acoustic indie rock with a few folk parts.

 

[Zephyrus]

Like Borknagar's last album. Which was crap.
