Controversial opinions on metal

[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

What planet do you live on?

Planet Butthurt because that's where you live apparently

 

[Phylactery]

I somehow missed off De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas! Arguably the best one!

As far as Emperor, I consider their best stuff (the 2 releases I listed) a notch below the best from Norway, but still top tier black metal.

 

[MrTagoMago]

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

The first one on hyvis or whatever it's called. I love how just because these bands are popular I'm supposed to like them. They bore me and I have nothing else to add to that.

 

[Internally Deformed]

The reason you should like them has nothing to do with their popularity, we're just pointing out to you that for whatever stupid reason you're shutting yourself off to some of the great extreme music ever released. Are you into any bm bands aside from Bathory, or does your interest stop there?

 

[MrTagoMago]

I guess from now on I should lie and say I like things I don't actually like to please others as if I was a sheep who can't think for myself and from my own opinions.

@MrTagoMago I can sort of sympathize. People often tell me that I'm a poser because I don't like Mayhem that much. I mean, they're just ONE BAND.

Im shutting myself from it? It's as if you think I choose not to like these bands even though I want to and have given them plenty of chances. Besides Bathory I like Sabbat, Sarcofago, Blasphemy, early Tormentor, and a lot of those black thrash, and black death hybrids.

 

[Internally Deformed]

There's a line between resisting group pressure and forming your opinions in explicit contradiction to those of the group to give yourself a false sense of individual preference. You need to post one of your top 20 lists so I can figure out which category you fall into.

 

[Internally Deformed]

From that list I guess it looks like you just listen to more old school/first wave blackened stuff. What about later black metal bands like Drudkh, Paysage D'Hiver, Leviathan, Mutiilation, Nagelfar?

I think you need to revisit De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas if you haven't heard it lately. As I said above, it's arguably the best of the bunch.

Definitely the coolest drums.

Props for including Kreator twice.

 

[Phylactery]

The first Kreator was obviously meant to say Destruction, since they're better anyway

 

[MrTagoMago]

Oops

Cool, a fan of the Japanese Doom.
