Controversial opinions on metal

[Knight 0f Shadows]

does any one agree that most of times " famous " bands get more credit than they deserve and they don't sound too good
and some times you can find band bearly known of same style and sounds way better than the famous big cheese band ?

I don't know if this is controversial, but I really hate when thrash bands write songs about thrashing, or have Thrash in the title. It's like a writer breaking the 4th wall or something. It's not creative. At least act like you're passionate about something other than the music you're playing.

I had a hard time making myself listen to Asphyx's "Death... the Brutal Way" because it really felt like the band was going "HAY GUYS WE PLAY DEATH METAL LISTEN LISTEN!!" Great album, but WOW.

I also really don't like gory album covers and titles. I understand why it's a thing, but I really don't like it. I'm way more impressed when a band like Woe calls an album "Quietly, Undramatically" and then rapes your earpussies. I'm way less interested in "AXEFUCKING THE MOLESTED SATAN SPAWN".

That Woe album is pretty fucking gay. I'm usually pretty down for artsy black metal but that shits too much.

 

[KafkaX]

Woe is pretty meh, nothing too spectacular in my book.

 

[Eligos]

Can't say I was a fan either. I was looking forward to them when I was on my PL kick, especially because the reviews were off the hook, and they just did not deliver. Neither did Bloody Panda. Music with no mood, whatsoever. It doesn't say anything. It's like fucking without having an orgasm.

As I read through the last few pages, I realized that I really need to listen to some more black metal. Lots of good black metal out there that I have barely listen to.

 

[Knight 0f Shadows]

try melodic black there is some good stuff out there that makes you wanna jump out of your chair and headbang

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Especially Symphonic Black Metal...

Mirrorthrone is fucking awesome.

Yeah, I'm in a agreement with Woe. Their sound is way too generic.

Age of Nero by Satyricon is a decent album. I've had that album stuck inside the CD player of my uncle's truck since 2008, and now that I'm back in California I've been driving around for the past 2 weeks with that as my soundtrack. Maybe I've just gone crazy from hearing it so much, but I'm starting to see its qualities.

 

[KiltedMetalhead]

I hate ozzy, only liked Sabbath with dio.
Black album is my favourite Metallica album.
I like Paul di'anno and blayze.
I like God Hates Us All.
I like killswitch engage a lot.
This one isn't really an opinion, but I'm British and i cannot understand lemmy whatsoever. He always sounds like he's just dropped half a bottle of valium...

 

[Eligos]

It surprises me that people still listen to most metalcore.

Folk inspired metal is awesome. Folk metal is terrible. See Moonsorrow, Ulver, Drudkh, Summoning, etc. vs <insert Finnish polka metal band here> or <big men with beards viking metal band>. There's such a huge discrepancy in sound and metal-ness... its tough to put into words. I guess I mean to say folk can't stand by itself as a sound. You've got to have influences of some other metal genre to make it work without coming off queer.

Fucking dot.

Kreator have one good album and a few good songs on other albums. Their vocals mostly suck though.

Destruction are boring. Thrash is a bit insipid and boring generally. It's like drinking music but not as good as traditional / nwobhm for that. I'm a bit worried that my ear's ability to listen to fast music has deteriorated though. I've heard that happens to older people and although I'm young, I'm sure my ability to appreciate that stuff has declined. It's not just taste, like I actually can't get into it, it's too much. My ears are gay. Lately I've just been listening to Beethoven and Blackmore's Night. Oh and a bit of Queen too.
