Controversial opinions on metal

I don't even like their post-black metal stuff but I met them and I must say, they weren't the friendliest bunch.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Hail Vondur!

 

[Chanakya]

Most may disagree, but I find them pretty damn imposing. If you've ever seen them live they definitely have a pretty intimidating presence.

Nergal's forehead alone is the most imposing thing.

EDIT: Damn you WAIF, you beat me to it.

I think what makes Behemoth imposing is Nergal, corpsepaint or no. Without that presence it would come off as cheesy as it does on every other band that uses it.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I think they look strange tbh. Maybe if they looked like body builders then it would work better.

The most opposing corpse painted figure ever:

The most opposing corpse painted figure ever:

That is very opposing.

 

[Einherjar86]

The most opposing corpse painted figure ever:

I hate that album cover, but not on any aesthetic level. It just sickens me for some reason; it seems to encapsulate all the utter depravity and wretchedness of life in a single shot.

Here's my extremely limited theory of what makes good music.
Music must flow always, independent of riffs and solos; ever coherent, ever fluent. Drums never too invasive,atmosphere never too suffocating, vocals never too imposing; they must exist to echo the drumming at all times. Each section must flow into the next flawlessly, for if it doesn't, the magic dissipates, leaving a mosquito nest in my head.
Of course, this may go against mine liking Dimmu Borgir, but get over it.

Ah, okay that clears everything up.























Oh wait, no it doesn't.

 

[DarkBliss]

I'm so disappointed that it doesn't. Syncopation for eternity. Everything else is secondary.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Do you carry around a list including all those elements to make sure that each new band you listen to meets those requirements?

I find it ironic that you complain about elitism when you have a "blonde-haired-blue-eyed" expectation out of metal.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Another controversial opinion (though it shouldn't be):

I like it when the bass guitar is not completely buried in the production. That's a big reason why I like bands like Iron Maiden and Cannibal Corpse, and why I don't really care for ...And Justice For All.

Lol @ a fourth reich with Dimmu Borgir in its ranks. I wonder if DarkBliss is as good at being vague as the Nazis were with identifying races.

 

[Angel of Distress]

Everything Cradle of Filth released up to 'Midian' is amazing.
I like Slipknot and Korn.
I enjoy pig squeals, not that that's very "controversial."

Can't think of anything else even remotely fitting to this thread... I mean, I could list every non-kvlt thing that I like, but that would be far too time-consuming.

Famiy reunion bro?
