Controversial opinions on metal

i didn't mean 'flashy' as all fireworks and gloss, more like a lot of surface level appeal and a lack of staying power. i'm not really trying to criticise anyway, i like a lot of the stuff you guys are mentioning, just... enough with the favourable comparisons to burzum.

p.s. chuck sucks at vocals

edit: and yeah, that riff in the HLTO title track is probably the most uplifting riff i've ever heard.
 
I didn't really read what anyone said about Drudkh, but did somebody actually say that they're better than, or even as good as, Burzum? If so, he's a faggot.

Amazing mindblowing album.

Anathema `the silent enigma is overrated.
 
Edge of Sanity's only really good album is Unorthodox.

Unorthodox was the first EoS I heard and liked it the most and now that I have listened to their disco pretty extensively would say Purgatory Afterglow is bands best fullength in terms of sound/production creativity diversity skill and songwriting followed by The Spectral Sorrows after.
