I actually somewhat agree with Nile. Both Nile and Behemoth are fucking great bands (at least some of their stuff is). I could go on about this but I'm drunk and too busy listening to Pagan Altar to give a fuck.
The only Nile album I care for is In Their Darkened Shrines, but it's one hell of an album. Very atmospheric, very fucking dark, and they actually do something with all that musicianship instead of just jerking themselves off for 60 minutes like on every album since.
What a shame. Have you tried their later stuff? Nothingface, Angel Rat, The Outer Limits, Katorz?...I suppose my controversial opinion for tonight is that I just don't get Voivod. I have Dimension Hatross and Killing Technology, and both of them are just unpleasant to listen to. I see what they're trying to do, with the cold futuristic machine shit and whatnot, I just don't really like it. Definitely very creative and very skilled, but not my cup of thrash.
As much as I generally prefer black metal to death metal, and as much as I love Behemoth's black metal work, their death metal is superior.
I've only ever really listened to "From the Pagan Vastlands" as far as their overtly black metal stuff goes. From that perspective I agree, even though that might not be fair because obviously, it's an early demo, and I've already written a lot about why I don't find most black metal deserving of the hype.
Still, I'm glad they developed away from sounding as norwegian as possible.
Behemoth has written some of the most sterile, uninteresting death metal this side of post-Winds of Creation Decapitation.
You're a faggot of herculean proportions.1. Newer In Flames kicks unbelievable amounts of ass
2. Iron Maiden's best album is 'A Matter of Life and Death'
3. Cannibal Corpse is grossly overrated and one of the most uninteresting death metal bands around. That being said, they do have some good tunes. I just don't get the hype.
4. Morbid Angel is also overrated, albeit good.
5. Burzum is terrible
6. Transylvanian Hunger might be the most overrated album of all time.
7. Blind Gaurdian is terrible and there isn't a single good thing about them
8. I perfer Anette to Tarja. Anette is far more versitile than Tarja ever was and the latest Nightwish album is conclusive proof of that.
9. I like and prefer the new direction Sonata Arctica took starting with 'Unia'
10. The so called "Dual Attack" of K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton is the most over-used and cliched phrase used when people talk about Judas Priest. Nothing these guys did together was ever that interesting or even came close to justifying the amount of praise they get. Wow, one guy plays rhythm during the others' solo. Oh wow, a medicore guitar harmony every now and then... great. Very overrated as musicians and as a band.

All wrong, iron maidens first 5 albums are way better than the rest.1. Newer In Flames kicks unbelievable amounts of ass

After I posted that I started listening to Pandemonic Incantations. That album made me happy. Very happy....And The Forests Dream Eternally and Grom are fucking amazing. But totally eclipsed by Demigod, The Apostasy, Evangelion, Zos Kia Cultus, etc.
