Controversial opinions on metal

[VelociBrad]

The guy thinks Dimmu Borgir is a great band, I don't know why you'd bother talking to him about something actually amazing like Mercyful Fate.

With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness is At The Gates' best album.

I like everything from ATG besides that album and terminal spirit disease. awful

I think the most appropriate way to classify doom metal is the same way by which progressive bands are distinguished; namely as an adjective. Just as there is progressive heavy metal and progressive death metal, there is traditional doom metal, which is essentially doom heavy metal, and doom death metal. It's more of a specific characteristic within a broader horizon.

It really boils down to just pure relativity for me, I guess (so yes, this is my cop out). When I'm listening to funeral doom (when I actually have an album playing and I'm feeling its effects) the sensations I experience are similar to what I would associate with the word "doom." So, I guess it's more of a "feely" thing than a definitive categorical assessment.

Doomy doomular doomiest doom with doom on doom is doomier than doomy doom, but less doomy than doom.

Doomy doomular doomiest doom with doom on doom is doomier than doomy doom, but less doomy than doom.

How can something be doomier than doomy doom, but less doomy than doom?

 

[The Butt]

Has any doom really been doomy even as decided to doom even go want to do doom more like?

 

[Eligos]

How can something be doomier than doomy doom, but less doomy than doom?

Simply because doom is doom in its purest form. One might think that greater is greater, but this logic does not apply to metal, especially doom. In doom, doomier and less doomy are substitutable in any given situation.

 

[Einherjar86]

Doom is such a fucking weird word. If I was stoned right now I'd be sitting here going, "Doom... doom... doom... doom... doomy... doomy doom... doom... doom... dooooooooooooooom..."

just makes me think of the game and how repetitive it was.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Am I the only person who loves the production on TRITSIO?

It's way too flat and cold. I'm not saying I want some sterile slam death production, but just take a step back to Gardens Of Grief and you hear what TRiTSiO's production should sound like.

Your local metal scene is more important and more deserving of your money than other metal. If you find a local band you like, you should buy all their stuff rather than spreading your money over other bands.

Why?

It gives it a nice dark rainy atmosphere imo.

Why?

you responding to me?? simple, a local metal scene, if you have one and it's decent, should be more important to you than the music from miles away, and if you support one band properly, by going to their shows, buying albums, merch, rather than lots of bands barely at all, that band has more of a chance of being able to do it for a living. if it's a local band, you're helping bring more people into the area for the gigs of the other local bands, and therefore helping your own scene and encouraging more shows and more metal fans in your area, through increased access to the music.
