Controversial opinions on metal

[supseudonymous]

Maybe i never gave Darkthrone enough of a chance but found them pretty boring for the most part. Give me 2 albums to download so i could maybe change my mind.

Pick based on what you already like:

Soulside Journey - death metal
A Blaze In The Northern Sky - first wave black (a la Bathory)
Under A Funeral Moon - black metal
Transylvanian Hunger - raw, minimalistic black metal
F.O.A.D. - first wave black (a la Venom)

 

[Zephyrus]

I think The Cult is Alive will appeal to many.

 

[Alter]

...or Sardonic Wrath and Hate Them which are two of the most underrated albums by them.

 

[Omni]

nooo transilvanian hunger sucks, get soulside journey.

What I'm about to say isn't controverial, but I think you suck.

...or Sardonic Wrath and Hate Them which are two of the most underrated albums by them.

This.

Hate Them is pure magic. The album that made me want to listen to Black Metal, and get to know other bands / styles.

My favourite Black Metal album tbh.

 

[Alter]

This just shows how pure Darkthrone's music is and how it has not become watered down at all.

 

[Zephyrus]

And how do you define "watered down"?

 

[Alter]

That they are still as cutting edge as the used to be, which I do understand is my opinion also.

I think I "got" Transilvanian Hunger tonight. Took me long enough.

Anyway, I dunno if this is controversial, but Amorphis' Silent Waters is fucking sweet.

 

[Evil?]

I fucking love it when an album finally "clicks". I remember when I first bought DMDS I thought it was just alright, then one night I listened to it and BAM!, I fucking loved it.

I think there are many other wonderful and much heavier bands out there than Agalloch, but I definitely think that John Haughm has the best growls ever. I can't get enough of his voice.

 

[TheInsane]

I want to sa that since I wrote that I never really got Burzum I went back and listened again and its not at all what I thought it was before. I remember some horrible vocals on the stuff I had heard by them before and completely dismissed the band. Of course listening to a couple of their cd's now the vocals arent bad at all. I wonder what release I initially heard?

 

[The Ozzman]

At this point:
I find Immolation and The Chasm boring
I find SMRC boring

He does slightly more than whisper.

Yup.

I find SMRC boring

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Does...not...compute.

 

[cannibal corpse]

I figured out Transilvanian Hunger recently as well, great album.

 

[Omni]

He screams a tiny bit on "Not Unlike the Waves" but other than that, this is accurate for the most part even though I still like Agalloch.

 

[Blind Guardian]

A year ago seeing the video for "Not Unlike The Waves" tricked me into buying Ashes Against The Grain,huge mistake,the rest of the album wasn´t nearly as good.
