Controversial opinions on metal

[romanticism]

Emperor is irrelevant. Velvet Cacoon > Mayhem. /thread.

Opinions are irrelevant.

 

[romanticism]

Yeah. Especially the one I just posted.

Guys, DMDS is the best black metal album.

 

[Avigrus]

I'd also add that Darkthrone > Mayhem.

Agreed.

Neither of you are exactly paragons of good taste.

I didn't know you were an authority on "good taste".

What a stupid remark to make. As if you poseess some sort of equation to calculate "good" and "bad" taste.

Again, I'd be scared if you thought otherwise.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Yeah. Especially the one I just posted.

You seem like the type that has to double check with ANUS before choosing which shoes to wear. You haven't contributed anything but unjustified pretentiousness and comical double standards displaying a lack of intelligence ot trollishness. So lick my shoes. I chose them myself

Someone who likes Borknagar almost always has bad taste in metal.

Again, I'd be scared if you thought otherwise.

Cheers.

Easily. Mayhem can only dream of making something as good as Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism and they never even entered the same galaxy as Pure Holocaust.

Yes, definitely. I like DMDS, but do agree that it's vastly overrated, and early Immortal is way better.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Borknagar is the only project involving Simen Hestnaes that I don't like.

 

[The Ozzman]

Someone who likes No Doubt almost always has bad taste in music.

Fixed that for you.

 

[Nephilim96]

^wrong.

I'd also add that Darkthrone > Mayhem.

I agree but that isn't exactly saying very much considering Mayhem's extremely inconsistent discography. They have one truly great album (which of course is DMDS) then one or two good ones and after that the rest is basically a joke. On the other end you have Darkthrone who have put out an enormous wealth of material, most of it ranging from great to good plus they've been active for two decades now. Not much of a comparison.

Anthems is a steaming pile of shit. ItNE is good, but no where near the highest tier of BM albums.

I agree with the first, not the second. ITNE is up there with Mayhem. Not quite the heights of Immortal and Burzum, but very close.

By that logic, I could just say that you seem to have to double check with pitchfork. Did it ever occur to you that one could like Mayhem without having any affiliations whatsoever? As far as I'm concerned, you're being pretty trollish yourself here.

 

[romanticism]

I have listened to all sorts of black metal, all sorts of death metal, etc. I just don't keep unessential music in my library as a 160 GB iPod has space limitations. Would you believe that I have indeed listened to Velvet Cacoon, Forest Of Stars, etc - MULTIPLE TIMES, even? Give me a fucking break.

 

[romanticism]

You're actually fitting more with the standard definition of elitest prick today than anyone else here. At least I'm not "above" popular things.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I've actually enjoyed the few Borknagar songs I've heard iirc.

People don't actually consider Mayhem fandom to be indicative of ANUS-worshiping, do they? I think crimsonfloyd is just making a general attack towards you, not that Mayhem is particularly related to that group of people. If he is, lol.
