Controversial opinions on metal

[A1a23]

I don't understand the hate for DCA. I think it's a fucking epic album and way better than their newest.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

DCA is better than In Sorte, yes, however just about everything previous to Death Cult kicks the shit out of that album (except for maybe For All Tid, which is just corny as fuck).

 

[Zephyrus]

DCA is a good album, and nothing more. In Sorte is unlistenable. I have no expectations for the next one.

 

[Einherjar86]

"Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" is the only song I can even remember from Death Cult Armageddon. I gave that album to my cousin years ago.

 

[Zephyrus]

"Cataclysm Children" has become my favorite from that album, just for the piano part.

Holy thread cleaning, batman!

Anyhow...the Stormblast remake is cool, but DCA is pretty bad, with the really obvious exception of that one good song, the name of which is escaping me.

VREDESBYYYYYYYYYYRD!!!!!!!!

 

[Blind Guardian]

Is the cover for Stormblåst a bridge or a tower?

 

[JGMetalhead]

(except for maybe For All Tid, which is just corny as fuck).

...?

But to be honest Dimmu is just one of the last bands anyone should listen to (If at all). One of the worst black metal bands second from Cradle Of Filth.

 

[DarkBliss]

Not really. They're simply the most irrationally hated especially considering the cult following that the Austrian synth fairies enjoy. Dimmu's albums could've benefited from better production,though

Seeing Anthrax in the top four is very, very laughable.

Cradle of Filth has never been a black metal band (and this is according to the band members themselves).

There are Norwegian black metal bands worse than Dimmu Borgir.

 

[Krow]

Oh yes, the supreme authority, Dani Filth must not be ignored.

As far as Dimmu Borgir goes, I like For All Tid and Stormblast... I'm a sucker for symphonic black metal though... the rest of their albums... I just dont like...particularly dca... I thought it was totally unlistenable... after it quickly gave me a headache.

Yeah boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Overkill, Testament, Nuclear Assault or Exodus should have been in the big four.

 

[Einherjar86]

If you mean prominent bands in the Norwegian Movement, then I can't say I agree with you; but if you mean Norwegian black metal bands in general, then I certainly agree.

 

[Badbird]

^What Norwegian black metal bands are worse than Dimmu Borgir?

 

[TheInsane]

Yeah boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Overkill, Testament, Nuclear Assault or Exodus should have been in the big four.

The big-four didnt have to do with how good the bands are or were though. It was about how popular they were at the time and Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer were the most popular thrash bands.

Personally I do prefer alot of other thrash bands to all of these except Megadeth who I think was always excellent. The best Anthrax did I also thought was awesome but unfortunately they couldnt stay on top musically which is a shame because "among the living" is a real killer of a record.

Exactly, Anthrax shouldn't be that/this popular.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Exodus is probably ten times better than Anthrax.
