Controversial opinions on metal

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Great argument going on here, keep it up

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Says the guy who listens to almost no thrash

Sadly, very little thrash meets my requirements after having heard Voivod.

 

[sarkain]

Other thrash isn't progressive enough for you? There's shitloads of good thrash bands that just play thrash, with no special geek tricks involved. I myself have never cared for Voivod that much, despite being "innovative/original" they were just another thrash band. Besides, the best progressive thrash metal band on this planet is called SADUS.

 

[Life Sucks]

Sadus rule. They are very aggressive for a Bay Area band. I myself prefer German and Brazilian thrash to Cali thrash overall, but I do like Sadus a lot, along with Dark Angel and obviously Slayer.

 

[sarkain]

Hell yes. I'm a huge fan of brazilian thrash, they have these awesome underground bands that ruled in the 80's but are still active.

Other thrash isn't progressive enough for you?

I said "very little", not "none". Almost all the thrash I listen to is progressive, and Voivod just happens to be the best of that.

Such thrash bores me.

 

[Life Sucks]

I have only hear a few Voivod songs (I can easily count them on one hand), and they didn't sound like typical thrash, or even thrash at all, to me. Maybe I need to look into them a bit deeper. I don't know if they are a band I would like or not.

Less than half of their material is even thrash, but Dimension Hatröss and Killing Technology are brilliant thrash albums.

 

[Life Sucks]

Well that would explain it right there. What I have heard from them must all have been from their non-thrash material then. I will check out those two albums.

 

[Bitencourt29]

The only Voivod album I know is Katorz, and it sucks tbh.

Sadus is a fucking strange band, but I like their last one, Out for Blood. Steve DiGiorgio is a monster.

Sadus isn't all that progressive though. They're basically a more technical Slayer/Dark Angel with well above average basswork. Anacrusis is where progressive thrash metal is at.

 

[MURAI]

Biohazard's "Kill or Be Killed" (2003) is a great album. That band is never discussed in metal which is too bad.

Lamb of God's earlier material are not bad.

Cannibal Corpse are mediocre in comparison to many other death metal groups.

Kreator's "Pleasure to Kill" is the German Reign In Blood.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Kreator's "Pleasure to Kill" is the German Reign In Blood.

Isn't that a proven fact?

 

[Black Friday]

Isn't that a proven fact?

Maybe he means quality-wise?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Maybe he means quality-wise?

They're roughly equals there as well, although in different ways. Pleasure to Kill is very consistent but never goes anywhere brilliant, while Reign in Blood is notoriously uneven, so if that's what he's referring to then I suppose he's being moderately controversial.

 

[CF87]

Slaughter of The Soul is a lot better than With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness. end

 

[King Richard]

I don't understand why SOTS gets so much hate. Overall it's not the greatest album, but it still has some great songs on it.

 

[Mort Divine]

Only good thing about it is the solo that LaRocque played on it imo

 

[The Ozzman]

SOTS is good. Whoever thinks otherwise likes spelunking colons on a regular basis

 

[Omni]

I haven't actually heard the entire album, but the songs that I've heard from it were underwhelming.
