World's Greatest Vocalist
Yyrkoon kicks ass.
Also, as far as the whole groove metal thing goes...good groove albums are the ones by Pantera, Exhorder, Down, etc. and Chaos A.D. and Nailbomb's album. There's also Wolverine Blues and the Machine Head catalog, save their 3rd and 4th albums, and bands like Chimaira, Devildriver, Lamb of God, Fear Factory, etc. etc. that can be called metalcore or industrial metal or whatever you goddamn choose...
The point is that there's nothing wrong with a killer riff played at 'halfspeed,' because not every album needs to sound like "The Burning of Sodom" to be good.
As far as black metal goes, I find 99% of it to be monotonous fuzz in comparison to something like the last 30 seconds of "I'm Broken" or "Territory." 'Atmosphere' and pointless ideological dissertation come far second to a rollicking good midtempo skullcrusher riff set. The grand populist that I am, I find far more merit in a catchy tune with a universal theme at its core than an esoteric fucknut's bedroom national socialist wet dream if the sonic quality of the latter sounds like a blowdryer on the low setting.
The best part about this entire discourse...this entire thread? The word opinion is built in. Opinions, the great egalitarian constructs that they are, seldom require justification to exist, but often could use some for legitimacy. So here's mine, jizzsuckers!
