Controversial opinions on metal

[gundamterran]

Bathory is another one of those influential bands who are not as good as people make them out to be, although I must admit, Blood Fire Death is an immense piece of work. Nothing else they've released touches it though.

I can listen to Slam and bash Barnes because Barnes has terrible gutturals, and it doesn't fit the shitty pseudo death-thrash of the first few CC albums.

 

[DrSkye]

Maybe I just need to listen more?

 

[Bitencourt29]

Both his early, BM works and the Epic/Viking albums are great.

My favourites are Bathory, Under the Sign of the Black Mark, Blood Fire Death, Hammerheart, Twilight of the Gods and Nordland (I and II).

Bathory is awesome, and if you disagree, you should stop listening to metal, cut your balls off with a pencil, and tie yourself to an old(yet running) train track.

 

[DrSkye]

Fine fine. I'll listen to more of your damn Bathory.

 

[General Zaroff]

Blood Fire Death is awesome. Didn't bother with anything else although the last few posts made me want to check out Under The Sign Of The Black Mark.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

No, indeed Bathory is a fine band, but surely over rated by most on here. The last album sucked pretty hard.

While Cannibal Corpse is on topic, Hammer Smashed Face rips of off Entombed's song Premature Autopsy.

 

[King Richard]

Yeah BFD is fucking amazing.

You really should check out Bathory and Under the Sign at the very least.

I've listened to some stuff from Bathory. The production was slightly bad and too quiet. I like a nice, thick wall of sound. I'm really picky when it comes to these things. I downloaded Under the Sign just a bit ago. Going to give it a listen later.

Finally got around to listening to BFD, first notable Bathory album I have heard.

 

[DrSkye]

Hearing BFD for the first time as we speak. I'm still not hooked, but it's not awful.

 

[General Zaroff]

If you can't get hooked on A Fine Day To Die, then you might just want to give up. It's the best song on the album.

 

[DrSkye]

Giving that one a second try, and honestly, I would love it if it weren't for his voice.

 

[gundamterran]

It's hard for someone who's top 8 has bands like Underoath and He Is Legend to understand the greatness that is Blood Fire Death.

 

[General Zaroff]

He might just be getting into more extreme stuff.

np: For All Those Who Died

 

[DrSkye]

It's true, but at least I can appreciate it and I'm putting forth the effort.

 

[DrSkye]

This.

Nordland I and II are my favs. More on the Viking metal side though.
