Controversial opinions on metal

[Krow]

Anyone want a fresh NWOBHM thread? Seems like there's a lot of people here that like it well enough and it would probably be better for discussion sake to just make a new one and not bump an ancient thread full of dead posters.

Bump an ancient thread so less savvy members can reply to posts from a long time ago expecting a reply.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

sure

Necro or fresh, I'm in.

Lets talk about Blood Fire Death.

Not sure which I prefer between it and Under the sign. Bother are masterpieces.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Also we kinda discussed this but I don't see the point in seperating the NWOBHM bands from other artists who were basically doing the same kind of music be they from a different time or different country.

Oh, so you aren't the picky type.

Every one who listens to death metal knows pussy is best when it's rotting and infested with maggots.

I actually think Blood Fire Death is overrated, although I still like it. Sure the opener and closer are epic and amazing, but the high speed thrashing of the tracks inbetween wears thin for me. I don't find them to be nearly as good as the most aggressive and violent tracks on Under the Sign...

Its still better than any Norwegian black metal album

Dies Irae is fucking awsome and probably better than most tracks on the first three.

Behind the title track it's my favorite on BFD. Love that outro.

I actually think A Fine Day To Die is quite overrated. Obviously it is awsome and one of the better tracks on the album, but compared to the title track it is clearly the worse of the epics on the album.

I thought I was the only one who felt that way lol. It's an epic opener but it certainly doesn't blow the rest of the album away or anything. I like the album from beginning to end though.

Blood Fire Death is Quorthon's best song.

 

[Vilden]

It is one of his best for sure, but One Rode to Asa Bay wins (best song ever made all categories).

 

[EspaDa]

I concur. I'm not familiar with most of his viking stuff but I can easily say these are 2 of his best songs.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I think that Blood on Ice is pretty overlooked. It's a bit different from the other Viking albums.

 

[no country for old wainds]

if BLOOD ON ICE had been released when it was first written/recorded (before HAMMERHEART) it'd be considered seminal.

Probably so.
