Controversial opinions on metal

[no country for old wainds]

wolfnacht's 'heidentum' is the best greek BM album

 

[skeptik]

No damnit, stop having weird opinions. Pick something normal like His Majesty at the Swamp or Non Serviam or Crossing the Fiery Path.

Holy fucking shit no. It wouldn't even make my top ten.

I have a problem with grindcore as well. It often lacks dynamics in the music and I also dont care alot for short songs. Some punk genres also suffer from this. If I see that a cd has like 20 tracks on it I pretty much know it wont be anything for me.

Spreading the Disease is undeniably a good thrash album. I kinda get the impression that all their other stuff sucks. Fistful of Metal is definitely pretty mediocre.

I dont get the dislike for Among the Living. I consider it as one of the all time great thrash metal records. I think its ace.

I agree that fistful is alright but nothing special. But hey I feel that about alot of the 1st generation thrash bands debut albums. They all became better with time and a couple of albums in their history.

grindcore can be awesome. these are the genres that suck:

folk metal. (fiddles, flutes, bagpipes...yech)
gay power metal. (manly power metal does exist though)
goregrind/pornogrind/all shitty subgenres with nonstop gurgling/frog vocals
90% of brutal death
90% of tech death
all suicidal black metal (or whatever the genre with "agony screams" is called)
80% of regular black metal

i understand that 'heidentum' is really inorganic and trebly and how offputting that usually is, but for me this is a rare occasion where it works in its favour. the whole experience is so fucking otherworldly and unique, i will defend that shit to the death man. wasn't expecting this opinion to be such a surprise anyway, i've held it for like 5 years. rotting christ are the only one of the unholy trio i like nearly as much.

btw 'crossing the fiery path' is a decent mess and all but i much prefer 'scarlet evil witching black'. great sense of melody and texture even though it's a bit overwrought.

also varathron's best material is easily the stuff on the 'black arts' split.

Non Serviam is fucking sick.

 

[cookiecutter]

fuckin a, why the fuck does every n00b on here manage to piss me off?

 

[Satanstoenail]

I used to own it. I sucked.

I see.

Taking it a bit farther: Britney Spears > 90% of brutal/tech death

There.

pure death metal ftw.


...
on the other hand, i prefer black metal with extra stuff (symphonic/melodic/industrial) over pure bm.

 

[TheInsane]

Non Serviam is fucking sick.

Are you talking about the band Non Serviam? I only heard one song ("possessed") but its really good. My band used to do a cover of it. It seems to be a band forgotten by most though. I dont find alot on them on the internet and the record is probably out of print since the year it was released :/

 

[DarkBliss]

Not the band, the Rotting Christ album.

 

[no country for old wainds]

non serviam is fucking great

 

[UnholyTerror]

I like cheesy power metal, and 75% of grindcore sucks. Also, there is such a thing as good deathcore.

 

[Ross]

Also, there is such a thing as good deathcore.

heaven shall burn

the only 'core' band i can slightly enjoy


EDIT: i suppose COL are in some ways core, and they fucking kick ass.

Any Anthrax after Persistence of Time fails. Just a heads up. I don't get all the Anthrax hate on this board. Oh well. To each his/her own, I guess.

 

[S<issors]

Sick album. That and "Thy Mighty Contract" were their best IMO, although I haven't heard the latest one.

 

[Slayed Necros]

It's nowhere near the greatness of early Rotting Christ. Thy Mighty Contract is one of my favourite albums ever.

 

[FJChaos]

Shogun>The Crusade

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Fisting myself>Trivium
