Controversial opinions on metal

[MrTagoMago]

I think I'm more interested in harsh noises and textures than most metal heads are.

"Textures" is a codeword for "riff subversion".

Sorry I'm kind of a dumb ass so could you explain in a clear manner what you mean by that?

The non-metal globalist elite is undermining decades of honest, hard-working, Anglo-Saxon riffcraft.

Pretty sure riffs create textures so I don't get it.

Not true, plenty of metalheads like Textures. They're a great band.

 

[MrTagoMago]

I think my initial post was misunderstood and everyone's being a smartass.

Sure, but textures alone don't create riffs.

Exactly.

 

[Internally Deformed]

I create riffs on my guitar, but maybe that's just me.

 

[The Ozzman]

Only riffs are real

What's the opinion here on Portal? As close as metal can get to being riffless IMO.

I think they suck.

Never heard of them.

Not a fan of Portal. Even taking for granted that they are supposed to be atmospheric and texture-y and shit, I don't find the atmosphere very compelling.

Plenty of bands can create the same texture and actually have melodies/phrases/motifs in there too, so yeah, they're talentless hacks.

I like the video game.

Yeah, their music really does come off as a pretentious, gray soup of noise that was put together without any real structure.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Yeah the video game is cool.

Being a bm-fan and not owning every single Bathory-album and buying new shit like random DSBM, some Mgla albun or other hipster shit or something is pouserdom incarnated. </fanboy rant>

Hey, what's wrong with Mgla? They're pretty good. Obviously Bathory is better but still.
