Controversial opinions on metal

[The Ozzman]

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

Nothing is wrong with Mgla. Good BM but Bathory all sounds the same so how can you say that band is better? At least Mgla is unique

 

[Phylactery]

I'm a bit lost here, how does all Bathory sound the same?

I actually thought mgla was just gibberish.

Under the sign of the black mark sounds so much like Hammerheart.

Sorry, I meant Bathory brings nothing to the table.

 

[Phylactery]

It's Polish, the l has funny accent on it - Mgła. It means fog in Polish. I'm not sure you'd like them but give With Hearts Toward None a shot anyway.

 

[The Ozzman]

I own the latest Mgla release

I need to spend more time with it, I've only listened to it once properly but it seemed promising.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Well that's idiotic of you.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Bathory all sounds the same

What planet do you live on?

 

[MrTagoMago]

I really don't get this Bathory hate at all. I'm sorry but Under the sign of the black mark is pretty much black metal perfection and is easily more enjoyable than any Norwegian black metal album.

I wouldn't go that far, but it certainly kicks arse.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Again I just don't get the appeal of these Norwegian black metal bands like Darkthrone, Immortal, Mayhem, Burzum, and Emperor. I just find them dreadfully boring even if I like the sound. I mean I've really tried but they do nothing for me. I like one song by Burzum but that's it.

I don't get your hate for second wave Norwegian black metal. Under the Sign of the Black Mark is indeed amazing.

So are.
Burzum - Burzum, Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, Filosofem
Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under a Funeral Moon, Transilvanian Hunger
Immortal - Pure Holocaust
Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Gorgoroth - Pentagram, Antichrist, Under the Sign of Hell
Emperor - Emperor, In the Nightside Eclipse

and that's just surface level shit. There's tonnes more.

I don't hate it so much as find it boring. Again I like the sound but the songs do nothing for me. Having a good sound means nothing if your songwriting is poor.

Fuck me, it's the Slayer discussion all over again. All of those bands you listed are better than 99.9% of what you listen to, and I can say this with absolute confidence even though I don't know what you listen to.

Also as you didn't list Enslaved there I'm going to optimistically suggest you listen to them.

I can see an argument being made for Emperor but as for every other band on that list that Phylactery just made, no.

Also, Phylactery, I'd add Total Death to that list of awesome Darkthrone albums just for Earth's Last Picture and Blackwinged. Some of the best black metal tracks I've heard are on that album.

 

[Phylactery]

I like one song by Burzum but that's it.

Which song is that? God I hope it isn't "War".

 

[Internally Deformed]

Emperor... poor songwriting

You need to take a long hard look at yourself.

 

[The Ozzman]

Burzum - Burzum, Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, Filosofem
Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under a Funeral Moon, Transilvanian Hunger
Immortal - Pure Holocaust
Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi

All better than Bathory
