Controversial opinions on metal

[DarkBliss]

Haven't listened to The Gallery in freaking ages. Need to give it a listen sometiime.If I find the disk, that is. My CD collection is such a mess.
There's always a chance of unearthing a long -forsaken record.
Just like recently I discovered Blondie's Parallel Lines buried under a huge pile of stuff.

This is a funny review of The Gallery: http://www.metalcrypt.com/pages/review.php?revid=4551

Sounds like he listened to it once, found it confusing because they change riffs a lot, and wrote a bad review. When you listen to it multiple times the arrangements all make sense.

The Gallery is an outright classic, eclipsed only by the sentiments of elitists who prefer Skydancer.

I thought Of Chaos And Eternal Night was a condensed, superior version of Skydancer, but I haven't given either of those albums the attention they deserve.

Coming from someone who's favorite band used to be LoG... no... they're new stuff is average at best... and Redneck was terrible.

Redneck is a terrible song. But Sacrament is a good album regardless, IMO.

 

[seedofvengeance]

I give it a 6.5...which is extremely subpar compared to their earlier stuff...and the stuff I've heard from Wrath is hideously awful.

 

[Ross]

Fuck yeah, saw them at wacken. Thousands of people all screaming " GO" - just incredable.

i waited for 14 hours at the front gate without water or food to see them and kreator, well worth it.

Deathevokation is pretty decent.

 

[Vilden]

How about Necrovation?

 

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

I don't think you listened to the right CD at all, considering Deathevokation is pretty emotive and original sounding despite obviously being a tribute to the old school. Then again you're probably Falco or someone like him so I expect you to have random shitty opinions.

Necrovation and Ignivomous are the best bets I think, both amazing bands. The first sounds like old Swedeath crossed with some Beherit or something, and Ignivomous is like every kind of early New York death metal (less groovy than Suffocation though) put together.

I stand by Necros Christos.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Murder Squad comes to my mind, same retro style as the hyped Death Breath but much better. Much Murder Squad is on par with the good ol' Autopsy stuff.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Tourniquet - Stop the bleeding is one of the best thrash albums.

 

[Caecius]

Tourniquet - Stop the bleeding is one of the best "christian" thrash albums.

Yes.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Yes.

Which secular bands that sound similar have a done better job of the same thing?

 

[The Ozzman]

Who cares if Tourniquet was a Christian band?

 

[SentinelSlain]

Well not me, as an agnostic. I genuinely think their Stop the Bleeding album is some brilliant thrash metal. Them being Christian hardly makes me overrate them lol.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I have yet to find a "old-school death metal revival" band that is worth my time. Dead Congregation comes closest, but when you get right down to it, it's still a hopelessly confused pile of killer riffs going nowhere.

Check out Drowned's Viscera Terrae EP. It's very good.

 

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

Yeah, that is fucking awesome too.

 

[Black Friday]

Rock me Amadeus? I don't get the joke here, so I don't know what to tell you.

He's saying that you're an idiot.

 

[divine_torture]

Well not me, as an agnostic. I genuinely think their Stop the Bleeding album is some brilliant thrash metal. Them being Christian hardly makes me overrate them lol.

Christianity kills metal for me. It's just a contradiction. Like Mortification. I can't stand them simply cuz the christian themes. Plus they blow anyway. And being agnostic seems like a cheap way out...

 

[waif]

I don't see how Christian themes would necessarily kill metal...maybe death metal might seem weird, but for example a lot of power metal is about defending the weak and being upright and all that shit and I don't see how it would be incompatible with Christian themes, besides which Christianity brings with it biblical imagery, a lot of which is undeniably fucking epic.
