Controversial opinions on metal

[EspaDa]

Wait, that's Geoff Tate?

Yeah, it is him. He looks like an utter shit but maybe people are fond of his new image.

 

[The Ozzman]

They are a fucking mint live band though.

The only reason why I bought their albums and they underwhelmed the shit out of me.

 

[The Butt]

Beyond the Permafrost is okay but pretty wimpy for black/thrash.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

that's because it's NOT black/thrash.

 

[Omni]

It's wimpy in general. It really doesn't matter what it's supposed to be.

 

[NinjaSweater]

How is it wimpy tho? That doesn't make any sense.

 

[Mort Divine]

Skeletonwitch (and most retro thrash) is not even worth discussing.

 

[Krow]

I'm not sure how thrash metal can have a "heavy dose" of black metal and not be at least mentioned as black thrash but whatever.


Annnnnd, it's pretty easy to see why someone could see them as wimpy compared to most black thrash if they considered them as such... Uber clean production... Uber melodic

 

[NinjaSweater]

Wimpy is a stupid fucking way to describe a band.

 

[Omni]

Wimpy is a stupid fucking way to describe a band.

How about calling their music feeble, soulless and lacking any type of staying power or drive? That's what I would consider to be the fancy way of saying essentially the same thing and it sums up my opinion of their music.

Is that more agreeable to you?

 

[The Ozzman]

Thread cleaned. Try again, yall..

Jeremy is MIA for whatever reason...

 

[JontRevolting]

Thank you Big O.

 

[CiG]

How are they a Black/Thrash band? Sounds way more melodic to me.

 

[Krow]

When I checked MA today is the first time I've ever seen them not referred as such. The black metal tag can get stuck on shit not hardly black metal at all though.

 

[CiG]

Glad to know one less band is tagged as Black Metal that doesn't deserve it then.

 

[Krow]

Not so sure it's always a good club to be in

 

[CiG]

Is that DMX?

 

[Krow]

If DMX was a fat neo nazi that released 15 identical sounding bedroom black metal demos a year.

 

[CiG]

I'll take that as a yes.

 

[Omni]

I wonder what was re-edited about it.
