Controversial opinions on metal

[EspaDa]

Moonshield is definitely in top 5 of their greatest tracks. Used to have it on my ringtone.

 

[Phylactery]

Anders Friden is also a horrible vocalist. Pathetic growls, crappy screams and embarrassingly bad clean vocals.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

That's basically every Swedish black metal vocalist ever.

 

[Phylactery]

Examples please.

Struggling to think of any as bad as him. And most of them certainly don't add whiny clean vocals to the mix.

Subterranean is ace. Jester Race is pretty good, but yeah I agree Whoracle is Whorrible amirite.

only thing i dig on Clayman is Swim, referenced above. I think Colony is their most solidly consistent throughout, unless we count Subterranean

 

[Phylactery]

Yeah Subterranean isn't bad, and also features the far superior vocal talents of Dawn's vocalist.

 

[EspaDa]

Friden's prob the worst vocalist in all metal. Dont know how he has got away with his vocals for entire career. Dude's pure crappy noskill.

Right up there with Mark Shelton amirite?

 

[Baroque]

Songs on the new Obituary are fantastic but too short. In some ways it feels like a sampler/preview of itself. Still love the album.

Or the Doomsword guy.

 

[Baroque]

I'd hesitate before calling anyone the worst vocalist in metal after listening to some unknown garage tier new thrash bands out there

 

[EspaDa]

Oh right, there's also Dave Mustaine.

 

[J.]

Yall obviously havent heard ulvers vargnatt, or that Vio-lence dude

If you're left wanting more then they've done their job correctly imo

what sean killian rules

I can totally understand people hating Sean Killian's vocals. I love them by the way

 

[The Ozzman]

Sean Killian sucks and so do the people who like his vocals.

Killian > Chuck Billy

 

[The Ozzman]

Herp derp

 

[CiG]

I can understand why people don't like Sean Killian and in many ways I think Eternal Nightmare is held back from being as truly great as it should be by his style, but I like it and think it gives the band a unique sound or whatever.

Also I listen to a lot of crossover and hardcore so it doesn't sound that out of place to me.
