Controversial opinions on metal

[SentinelSlain]

haha, in the time it would take for a doom metal band to finish one measure of their song, I could've listened to 5 death metal albums amirite?

Have you heard Psalm 9 by Trouble though? I would have thought you'd get something out of it, a lot of is very close to trad and fairly fast.

 

[The Butt]

Yeah think of all of that wooden spoon music you could have enjoyed.

And yet you haven't disproven my point. People who dismiss entire genres of music aren't people whose opinions should be trusted.

I basically dismiss all brutal death/grindcore/deathcore/metalcore/sludge/post-anything

And i'm cooler than you

Wooden spoon music

Does that mean drum worship?

 

[SentinelSlain]

nope, it's a real thing

 

[SentinelSlain]

Carpe is this your street?

Speaking of Doom, why is Cathedral such an underrated band? I love everything they've ever released.

 

[SentinelSlain]

because they're really boring and awful, which I thought was controversial.

Boring? Now that's funny because they're often referred to as disco doom.

 

[AllShallFall]

what dub buk is this

 

[SentinelSlain]

They have really bad vocals in my opinion and nothing much going for them. I used to be "into them" when I wanted to like every metal band that had a traditional sounding name and logo for some weird weak fanboy reason.

No, I wouldn't live somewhere I'm literally the only white person. Not too keen on being a minority.

 

[SentinelSlain]

i thought you lived in detroit

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Not black panthers Detroit. That'd just be awkward. People are racist.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

The metro Detroit area covers a small chunk of Michigan, and most of it is not primarily black people. You are more likely to see a worse scene in Flint, which I assure you is incredibly hostile to whitey and a long ways from Detroit. I know more people shot there than Dtown's worst neighborhoods.

Saginaw was what you originally said. Was there a big demographic change in 4 minutes?

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I mean this with the least disrespect, but dismissing an entire genre of music is sorta fucking dumb. And by "sorta" I mean "incredibly".

I like a few bands in the genre, with Candlemass being my favorite by far and a few others or random songs catching my fancy every now and then. Mostly though...yea...just so boring. I need more energy.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Yeah I mistake them sometimes because they're the two worst places ever. But Saginaw isn't as far so its more expected.

This is accurate. I'm surrounded by Italians. That is all.

A lot of doom relies on layering for its complexity, and vocals for its energy. If your sense of excitement comes from drum work or shredding, then its just not the thing for you. But as was said Trouble can be pretty energetic, just one of many that are on the verge of trad.

 

[The Ozzman]

My mom is from Detroit. It used to be a really nice city and suburban area.

And i'm cooler than you

Yeah that's up for debate.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Wow. Really glad I'm not the only one.

Yea it's pretty terrible. It's the only genre that I sort of dismiss in its entirety.

Whoa, this surprises me. I thought everyone on this board liked doom. I think it sucks. I do love the D&D mentality though. Too bad the music sucks.
Also these shit bands trying to bring back late 70's doom/rock. Stop!
