Controversial opinions on metal

[HamburgerBoy]

Agreed, I think this review sums it up best:

Here's what [deathcore band] told us with their first album, [deathcore debut album]: they were from, er, Sweden; they were very upset about something -- probably their parents; they played extremely fast and furious; and they pretty much sounded like a "baby" [different deathcore band], offering little in the way of innovation to the booming [deathcore] scene. And that's pretty much it. Later on, their contributions would rank among the best death[core] around, but, for now, only the title track and latter-day concert favorite "[deathcore song]" show any inspiration. Everything else will barely interest even hardcore fans.

Just noise, angst, and screaming. Irredeemable genre.

LKoNg, do you by chance know a poster on here by the name of "Trodden" ?

 

[RedStorm]

The music of white chapel has always been a slight exception

People who say that deathcore sucks.

Good job. Your charisma and debating skills have really persuaded me to like deathcore.


But seriously, you won't convince people who hate deathcore, myself included, to like it by posting extremely well-known deathcore bands like Whitechapel. Everyone has heard them already.

Why are you using Allmusic's absolutely horrible review of The Red in the Sky is Ours in a discussion about deathcore?

 

[Omni]

I know. Welcome to a thread that is literally about opinions. I actually edited my post to address why you won't be successful.

Whitechapel is fucking garbage.

 

[Omni]

This is the only Whitechapel that I like.

To prove that all extreme metal(-related) genres are nothing more than talentless uninspired screaming about their parents.

That Whitechapel above is probably the second worst song on that album btw, after Midnight Meat Train (how did Manilla Road not get nominated in the 'meat' game?). Such a shitty album.

This is the unedited version of Allmusic's At the Gates review that Hamburgerboy used for anyone who hasn't seen it:

"Here's what Sweden's At the Gates told us with their first album, The Red in the Sky is Ours: they were from, er, Sweden; they were very upset about something -- probably their parents; they played extremely fast and furious; and they pretty much sounded like a "baby" Entombed, offering little in the way of innovation to the booming Gothenburg death metal scene. And that's pretty much it. Later on, their contributions would rank among the best death metal around, but, for now, only the title track and latter-day concert favorite "Kingdom Gone" show any inspiration. Everything else will barely interest even hardcore fans."

It's clear that the reviewer has spent no time at all with this album.

Allmusic gave Slaughter of the Soul 5 stars. It says itself how wrong they usually are.

It's definitely my least favorite album from prior to them breaking up. I still like it overall.

I don't really listen to Slaughter of the Soul, but this is probably the best song from it:

Stop being a cunt

I like Blinded by Fear riff.

 

[RedStorm]

What country do you hail from Espada?

 

[EspaDa]

I'm from the land of Mgła and Decapitated.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

All extreme metal? As in all thrash, black, doom, speed, and death metal? It's all 100 percent uninspired and talentless? Or are you simply talking spin offs like all the "-core" stuff?

Try to read 1) the full context and 2) sarcasm.

Actually, since that post seemed to miss my initial point too, I'll restate it more clearly: anyone that dismisses an entire genre as "just noise and whining and screaming" is a stupidhead, and for a fan of metal to do that to -core styles is ridiculously dense.
