Controversial opinions on metal

[CiG]

Controversial or not? Unholy Cult is Immolation's best album. With Failures for Gods coming in at a very close second. Their consistency is staggering but there's just something about Unholy Cult I find immensely powerful.

I gave away all my of Immolation cds and only kept Dawn of Possession.

 

[KafkaX]

Your loss.

Cool to see Failures For Gods mentioned. I feel like that album is never really talked about. The Devil I Know is one of my favorite songs by em.

 

[Krow]

I really think Immolation can do no wrong. Even their more polished albums are still good. Close to a World Below and Here in After are my favorites though.

 

[CiG]

The gained cd shelf space was a worthy trade.

Harnessing Ruin?

Shadows In The Light?

Those two albums could never stick with me. Maybe I should revist them and see where I stand now, its been awhile.

 

[Krow]

Harnessing Ruin is their low point for sure, but it's still not bad. Shadows in the Light is really good iirc.

maybe i need to revisit immolation. i alwas thought they were the weakest -tion band, with incantation and suffocation being more worth my time

Immolation hasn't been worth listening to since after Unholy Cult tbh.

Dead Congregation has made them wholly irrelevant today.

 

[Krow]

A band copying their style has made the original band irrelevant? That's going to be the only time that ever fucking happened.

 

[Mort Divine]

Graves of the Archangels is significantly better than anything Immolation has done in over a decade. Promulgation of the Fall is a step backwards and still is better than everything Immolation has done from Harnessing Ruin onward.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Unholy Cult would be my second pick after Close to a World Below. The first five are all fantastic and I could understand any one of them being singled out as a favourite. Easily one of the best streaks in the history of death metal.

I thought Majesty & Decay was pretty fucking good.

 

[Dak]

I thought Majesty & Decay was pretty fucking good.

Agreed.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Every Immolation album is at least 7/10. Dead Congregation although good is more of a Incantation copy band than Immolation, at least to my ears.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Majesty and Decay is sick. Immolation: most consistent death metal band ever.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Incantation and Immolation are easily the most consistent DM bands.

 

[CiG]

Hahahahaha, you're out of your fucking mind.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Ok. Who are the most consistent death metal bands in your opinion then?

 

[Mort Divine]

Bolt Thrower, ldo

 

[CiG]

Well, first of all I'm only JUST mature enough to admit that your opinion is as valid as mine is, so sure if you say Immolation, I can respect that.

I'd have to say Bolt Thrower too, but also I'll mention Abscess, pretty sure nobody gives a toss about them though.
