Controversial opinions on metal

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

Christ, that doesn't mean you can't watch it you lazy ass.

 

[The Ozzman]

It means I can't watch it here

 

[Satanstoenail]

Faith No More is fucking awesome.

Yes!

And yes, they are Metal.

No.

 

[Doomguy]

They have a metal archives page for some reason...

Angel Dust > Any other FnM album.

Rush has a page there

Anyway, Angel Dust is indeed the best FNM album

 

[Satanstoenail]

They are all great but Album of the Year is my fave.

The Black Waltz is better than anything Children of Bodom put out.

Really? Kalmah just has this lame vibe to them; a vibe that was already dated and torn apart by the most recent Children of Bodom records, yet they keep trying to scrape another piece of Alexi's song into theirs. I don't see what is musically foreward thinking about them, and if trait does not count against them in your head,than I don't see what they do is any better compared to Bodom's much more refinded and slightly interesting early albums. Could you explain a bit?

I have only listened to that once since I bought it. Thanks for reminding me to listen to it

No.

Well, you're just as bland as the band is.

Not controversial.

 

[The Ozzman]

False

 

[GameFreac]

Haven't heard anything else from Kalmah

Why?

Very true.

Is The Black Waltz better than Swamplord ?

I'd say so; but they're pretty close in quality.

I've always found Kalmah more interesting, and enjoyed them more. Where Children of Bodom strives and fails to be hardcore, Kalmah just plays what they write. They sound more genuine, to my ears.

Swamplord and The Black Waltz are both consistently solid and awesome melodic death records, and they both sound much more energetic than COB.

 

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

I've always been pretty damn partial to Follow the Reaper tbh. Swampsong and Swamplord by Kalmah are cool though.

 

[Einherjar86]

I admit that I actually heard Kalmah before COB, but after going back and listening to them they just sounded stale. Also, I love the dark mystical and tribal feel that Kalmah evoke.

 

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

Fair enough brah.

I fucking love a lot of the single songs on Swampsong...Cloned Insanity has one of the coolest keyboard sections later in the song after a cool breakdown, even has kind of a nice classic rock-y/psychedelic rock feel. Burbot's Revenge is catchy as hell too.

 

[Xorv]

DT does not interest me either due to their lack of cohesive songs.

You've obviously never given IMAGES AND WORDS a chance.

 

[Doomguy]

Rush has a page there

So does Thin Lizzy.

I've heard it a few times, there's some okay songs on their, their technical ability is great, but their song writing is not....

Most of their albums are like that, but images and words and a couple tracks off scenes from a memory have good song structure.
