Controversial opinions on metal

Buzz from the Melvins and Al Cisneros from Sleep and OM have both named Black Flag as a cornerstone of their influences. That's just off the tippy top, and those bands are both monumental. I could find you several more like-minded innovators if you'd like.
 
Dakryn I think you're mistaking Black Flag with some other band with "flag" in the name. There is a lot of faggot bands like that. Anti-Flag is a super duper gay ass faggot pop punk band for instance.
 
Well there's a lot of really, really quiet passages, so it demands a quiet setting and and full attention. It's like listening to a symphony. If the records to click for you, I'd recomend just seeing them live.

Best rock symphony, yes :) only part that annoys me is the dumb k-mart clip or whatever it is.
 
Fleshgod Apocalypse, Revocation and Arsis are pure shit.

"Party thrash" is musical AIDS. There is nothing worse than bands who sell hipsters a gutted version of "metal authenticity." Why hate on Emmure when they're so much more honest than Municipal Waste?

Most Norwegian black metal sucks, especially Carpathian Forest and Nattefrost. Also, I would honest to god rather listen to Bring Me the Horizon than any recent Darkthrone album. At least BMTH's recent material shows effort, as opposed to listening to Fenriz suck his own cock.

Killswitch Engage is the worst possible combination of strained, blue-collar aggro and power-bottom emo faggotry.

Deathspell Omega, Funeral Mist, Katharsis, Pseudogod and S.V.E.S.T. are the only good "orthodox" black metal bands; the rest of them are pretty much insipid Marduk clones combined with the kind of pretentiousness that one would expect from Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Plus, worshiping the version of Satan that the Bible describes is retarded.
 
I'm not sure what's worse, saying newer Darkthrone like the underground resistence is worse than bring me the horizon, or using bmth as a reference point. One of the worst things I've ever read in this thread.
 
New Bring Me the Horizon is good. New Darkthrone is self-satisfied tripe.

Well I obviously wouldn't listen to Bring Me The Horizon but I agree about new Darkthrone.

EDIT: Leave No Cross Unturned was a fun song though.
 
This is all true. I'll try something more controversial:

Urfaust is overrated.

I agree with that sentiment. I listened to Urfaust in the past and I just couldn't understand how anyone could find their work enjoyable.
