Controversial opinions on metal

[Black Friday]

And you want to promote Nile of all bands as the antithesis.

At least Nile sounds serious.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is satirical and comedic about Nile?

Nile make me LOL

OK, but when the crocodiles come for you, you're gonna wish you hadn't LOLed at that papyrus. :Smug:

Everything.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Everything.

Maybe i'm not used to this kind of humor, but I don't find any comedic value in this kind of subject. Guts and gore tickle my fancy, though.

Everytime I see the crocodiles in Papyrus I just lol.

What I meant is that Nile are so terrible, it's humorous.
Guts and gore are always good though.

 

[Black Friday]

Because nothing says "serious" like mummies.

Please explain to me how you can understand the lyrics to Nile songs without using a booklet.

Ah, that's where the old adage comes into play .

You suck. Their lyrics are irrelevant - the music is fucking badass.

They sound pretty generic to me. Sorry. Stop being such a shit because I don't agree with your opinions on music.

 

[CF87]

You suck.

I bet she does.

Theyre way above the heap of metalcore bands, their newest is more progressive than metalcore. My claim isnt any more outlandist than someone saying opeth are the best band of the past 10 years.Theyre nowhere near what most metalcore bands out there put on the table. If you dont believe me check out songs like the son of nothing, white walls or prequal to the sequal(i doubt you will but if you want to go ahead)

I'm not saying that they suck. They're actually pretty good, but there are several different Metalcore bands that bring a lot more to the table.
Also, though I'm not the biggest Opeth fan, I think it's pretty clear which band between the two has the better writing ability and overall talent.
How about this?
Between the Buried and Me is YOUR FAVORITE band of the last 10 years. They're clearly not the best.

Also, @ML- Devourment's vocals are great... especially when done by Ruben Rosas.

edit: I find Nile enjoyable, but the more music I'm exposed to, the less interested in them I become. Where as they used to be one of my favorite bands (hence my name), I now haven't listened to them in a couple of months.

whiskey: this forum is based upon the principle of insulting people who disagree with you.

But explain to me how Nile are generic. Did I miss a massive wave of brutal death incorporating Egypt-y melodies?

That's also how I feel a lot about clean vocals.

I like Nile. I technically think 'Black Seeds..' is the best, but the production is horrible, so I'll vouch for either 'Shrines' or 'Annihilation'. Fishy-peepee is boring and so is the debut. Yes it is, shutup. I don't remember a single thing on it.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

And it does verge into the realm of fast food at times, but show me "brutal death" which does not. That subgenre specifically.
