Controversial opinions on metal

[mutantllama]

Not Euro power metal.
I'd like some examples.

Well Blind Guardian can get quite angry in their music.

Also, I'm really sorry for bringing this up, but Burnt Offerings by Iced Earth is quite angry also.

Duh...no?
First off, that's not typical euro style. Secondly, New Dark Age at least is not angry, just fairly heavy. Post an example of the song you think fits the bill, though.

This song is badass and angry.



And for this one, the whole thing isn't angry, but parts of it are. And honestly, I think you're being unfair to the genre by claiming that "no power metal is angry."

Who cares, is what I'm wondering. Why is that such a big deal in this country? Everything has to be , all the time. And this is almost like saying baroque music doesn't have enough Delta blues.

I mean for the sake of finding more bands or varying bands, and stuff like that, that's cool and all. It's just odd to me that this is the issue at all.

 

[Einherjar86]

I just think it's unfair to dub power metal as, by definition, "not angry" music. It has its moments.

Paul Di'Anno is better than bruce dickinson without a doubt.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Somewhere in Time, Powerslave, S/T and Dance of Death are their best albums

You've developed auto-post software for this thread haven't you?

I agree with everything written here.

Dang, there's another brilliant idea I was two steps behind...

A single band is a singular subject. As such, Discharge is great. The only exception would be if a band was called something like The Beatles, which is clearly a plural word.

thanks

I have come full circle in this thread. I believe I started by posting on how I think Bruce Dickinson is annoying in the long run and that the best Iron Maiden release easily is "The X-Factor". NOw people debate IM vocalists and best albums again

You good sir are correct

Not really tbh. Also not Euro power metal again. I'm not saying Euro power metal couldn't be angry, just that I've never heard it be angry and you guys haven't either.

Then I guess our perceptions of anger differ. Personally, I think Kiuas are far angrier than most power metal, and I think you're being stubborn; because I have heard it be angry. I find these songs to be so. The second verse of the second song ("And the North Star Cried") is extremely angry. The song itself is about the forced conversion of Finland. Seems like a good topic to get pissed about, if you ask me.

NO.

The Curse of Feanor.

Also, I wasn't talking about Euro power metal, but just power metal in general.

quiet, you

Harsh vocals =/= anger.
@mL: lazy. Post me a video.
And obviously US power metal can be angry, but that's practically a different genre.

 

[Einherjar86]

How can you say what designates anger? Listen to the lyrics in the song "And the North Star Cried." It's fucking angry, there's no other way to describe it.

 

[no country for old wainds]

angry music sucks
