Controversial opinions on metal

[CiG]

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

My second favourite! Also, the Nordland albums are quite awesome.

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.

The point would be, they're not British.

That's a silly point though :/

It's a factual point. After all, it's NWOBritishHM.

What I mean is I don't see the point in seperating bands based on nationality.

So if I made a list of my favourite Norwegian black metal, you'd be okay with me filling the list with Swedish and Finnish black metal?

Interesting.

NWOBHM isn't a genre buddy.

NWOBHM isn't a genre buddy.

It's a movement not a genre

The test is, could you get away with a statement like the best New Wave Of British Heavy Metal band is Accept from Germany without sounding idiotic.

It wouldn't bother me since I find Norwegian black metal mostly average. But that's what I was saying basically it's not a genre just a group of bands from a certain era playing a certain kind of music that bands from other countries were also playing. I dunno it's just such a weird thing I'd rather have a thread dedicated to that kind of music from any country rather than just UK.

Jesus at least admit you were totally wrong about this. You literally have no counter other than "U.K. meh Norway meh" haha.

If you want to discuss NWOBHM but you don't want to be limited to British bands, drop the NWOB and just start a HM thread/discussion.

I think you take it as if I was trying to debate something. I was just saying its weird to me to seperately the NWOBHM bands from bands from other countries who were pretty much doing the same kinds of music.

Wouldn't that just be a thread about traditional heavy metal?

 

[MrTagoMago]

Basically isn't that what NWOBHM is?

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Basically isn't that what NWOBHM is?

Yes. That doesn't mean that there is no merit to specifically discussing a historically significant period of heavy metal, which is what people are doing.

If you don't want to post in the NWOBHM thread, their discussion has absolutely no impact on you so you shouldn't be worrying about it so much.

You guys are making a bigger deal out of what I said than was meant. I just sort of said an opinion I don't give a damn what threads you guys make.

Yes, except specifically from BRITAIN.

 

[MrTagoMago]

God damn people trying to make something out of nothing.

Just trying to explain to you the point of the separation.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Just trying to explain to you the point of the separation.

Because they're from Britain?

Now you're getting it.
