Controversial opinions on metal

[EternalMetal]

But are you yourself standing behind these examples as being good examples of heaviness in production, or that these are examples that other people think are heavy?

Im not making a qualitative judgment, I was still on the topic of different perceptions of heaviness. Asphyx's Last One on Earth is one of the heaviest albums production-wise imo, but the others I mentioned, no.

If you prefer raw production quality with your extreme music it means you're tryin too hard to be Kvlt or so I've heard.

Yea, pretty much.

Asphyx's Last One on Earth

I haven't heard this album in fucking ages.

 

[EchoForever]

Because this has a pathetic production.

look at that fucking loser

 

[CiG]

This feels heavier to me than any number of brutal death metal bands.

 

[EspaDa]

Some people say Public Castration is a good idea the heaviest album ever.

There's a lot of truth in it. Still, it's a live album.

Don't see what's wrong with being live.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I think Conan are sonically the heaviest thing I've heard.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Yeah, recount those genius.

I enjoy Acts of the Unspeakable, but you're saying that it and Shitfun all top-tier classics on par with the first two?

 

[MrTagoMago]

I can't be the only one who thinks James Hetfield's vocals have this hillbilly redneck vibe to them. He sounds like he was meant to sing that heavier southern rock you had in the 90s..

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I mean his name is just one vowel away from being a Hatfield. I think many of those "Southern metal" bands are fronted by dudes that sound like outright Hetfield clones. I'd be curious to hear someone with a vocal style similar to his, prior to him.

If we're going by personal opinion which HBB seems to be then:

Autopsy 2
Death 0
Morbid Angel 2 (possibly 3 if we count Abominations)

Death don't have any albums I'd consider timeless classics. First 2 are my favourites and they're like 8 or 8.5 out of 10 for me.

Death > Morbid Angel

I've said this before and people always seem to act like they don't see the simularities.

 

[EchoForever]

morbid angel have 3 timeless albums

altars of madness, blessed are the sick, covenant

 

[Phylactery]

Death > Morbid Angel

No.

morbid angel have 3 timeless albums

altars of madness, blessed are the sick, covenant

I find Covenant to be uneven, it's got some good tracks and some that don't do a whole lot for me. Its peaks are also not as high as the peaks on Altars and Blessed.

 

[EchoForever]

i actually feel the same way, but on blessed
still 3 amazing fucking albums

 

[MrTagoMago]

No.

Carcass > both Death and Morbid angel.

 

[Phylactery]

Morbid Angel > Carcass > Death.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Morbid Angel being better than Carcass is just silly.

 

[Phylactery]

The fact that you don't like the first 2 Morbid Angel albums is what's silly.

Have you listened to Abominations of Desolation? That might be more to your liking.
