Controversial opinions on metal

[The Ozzman]

I respect the consistency that comes with sameyness.

Well yeah I can't knock the band either. Those fuckers ruled live and John McEntee is a really nice dude.

 

[Militant]

Second best black metal album (after DMDS).

I personally love the fact that they tried to be different and not "kvlt". If there's anything I hate about black metal it's that it all sounds pretty much the same.

 

[CiG]

Same could be said for Grind.

 

[J.]

Same can be said for any genre

 

[Omni]

Black metal has a lot more variety than people who don't really listen to it seem to realize.

 

[J.]

Yeah you gotta eonder what bands theyve listened to

 

[Omni]

One hundred different basement black metal bands that use a drum machine.

 

[Militant]

Yeah you gotta eonder what bands theyve listened to

I guess mainly the more common ones, like Mayhem, Burzum, Darkthrone, Windir, Immortal, Dimmu Borgir, etc.
I really enjoy Mayhem and Darkthrone's non-black metal work, the rest of it is just meh to me.

 

[no country for old wainds]

those are all very different from one another sry

Windir is probably the easiest BMish band to get into for someone who doesn't care all that much for BM.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

That's what people told me and it resulted in me avoiding the few black metal bands I have come to appreciate. Arntor was my first black metal album iirc.

 

[Mort Divine]

Well you have famously shit taste in black metal, so no surprise.

 

[KafkaX]

Cant really hold that against him though, right? HBB doesnt like BM.

Its like saying I have shit taste in Thrash.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i've always found that FILOSOFEM is an effective gateway album.

 

[Baroque]

Its like saying I have shit taste in Thrash.

Your icon looks like DRI, so that's a start. But what is ANB?

 

[Baroque]

I was one that enjoyed Windir but never really made it past them. Probably not a great gateway band if I just stood in the gate and didn't enter. Black thrash is decent but I'd prefer other subgenres of thrash over it too..

 

[KafkaX]

Yeah its a DRI knockoff.

ANb is short for Agoraphobic Nosebleed.

 

[Baroque]

Yeah its a DRI knockoff.

ANb is short for Agoraphobic Nosebleed.

That sounds familiar

 

[UltimateApathy]

This is better than both Summoning and Caladan Brood:
