Controversial opinions on metal

[The Ozzman]

Good call on Overcast. I still need to check out that band.

 

[Dak]

Down is metal?

 

[Krow]

Obviously.

 

[The Dark Soul]

Beherit's Engram is one of the most important, if not the most important, black metal album of the last several years.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Down is metal?

Wtf? Of course they are.

 

[Onder]

I don't like him either, few vocalists can annoy me like he can ... but the man can sing.

No he can't. That's why I personally consider him a shitty vocalist. It's ok if others have different reasons, but this is the main problem imo.

 

[Onder]

Isn't Down kinda shitty anyway? What's the whole deal with that band? I know teenage girls like it because there's this Phil Anselmo fag.

 

[Nephilim96]

Provided he is talking about the shitty AtG worship, yeah, but there is some great metalcore.

I'll bet you $10 bucks his favorite band is Killswitch Engage.

 

[AllShallFall]

It is a good album, however the production could have been a lot better. It doesn't do the songs justice.

At the very least, these songs sound fine:

 

[AllShallFall]

I'll bet you $10 bucks his favorite band is Killswitch Engage.

No, probably not.

His favorite band is Bring Me the Horizon.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

No he can't. That's why I personally consider him a shitty vocalist. It's ok if others have different reasons, but this is the main problem imo.

So we're gonna say he can't sing just because say me and you dont like his vox?

 

[The Ozzman]

I'll bet you $10 bucks his favorite band is Killswitch Engage.

They are one of my favorites! What do I win?

 

[IronMagnon]

The only things I care to comment about:

- Down is great, but I'd never say underrated
- Ghost is incredibly overrated
- Black Metal is, 9 times out of 10, god awful. And half of that 1 time it's only bearable because it is hilarious.
- Metalcore is only decent when it's more hardcore than metal (i.e. Integrity, Merauder, Unruh, etc.)

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I don't understand how this is an example of one of the more hardcore-leaning metalcore sounds, unless we consider Slaughter of the Soul-with-breakdowns-style-"metalcore" to be anything but overwhelmingly metal.

 

[The Ozzman]

Down is garbage. Pepper Keenan needs to go back to Corrosion of Conformity and stick with them until he croaks.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Sethu's production is sterile horseshit. The drums sound like plastic and the guitars are thin as hell. It's terrible.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Beherit's Engram is one of the most important, if not the most important, black metal album of the last several years.

I like you. I agree. It's also the best black metal album since like Hvis Lyset Tar Oss probably.

 

[Lateralus14]

Beherit's Engram is one of the most important, if not the most important, black metal album of the last several years.

It is evident that, unlike many, you have a full set of chromosomes. Congrats and enjoy your stay.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Beherit's Engram is one of the most important, if not the most important, black metal album of the last several years.

Yeah, agreed. Great BM album indeed.

You lose your first round draft pick in the UMFF draft.
