Say what you will about Arch Enemy, but i don't know how you could consider his guitar work worthless. Both the Amott brothers shred imo..

Eh, seasonal anything is stupid once you like said thing enough. If you can go 6 months (every 12 months) without black metal because the weather outside doesn't make you reminisce about grim frostbitten trolls, I'm not entirely sure you're a fan to begin with.
I can't go six months without Sam Adams Octoberfest. You need to re-align your priorities, brah
That's the problem. They shred. Flawlessly. Mindlessly. Constantly. Endlessly. Boringly.

I do see talent in slipknot.
I don't think Dimmu has "sold out" or "lost their touch" at all regardless what countless others say.
Iron Maiden gives me goosebumps.

Actually, yes on both counts. They sold out with EDT, despite it being a great album. They lost their touch in that even with a more palatable sound, they now fail to write melodies.

I disagree. I love Windir, but I have a hard time listening and enjoying when it's 100+ degrees outside. Kind of ruins/interfers with the "atmosphere" black metal projects.

I agree with this. I can't listen to most depressive black metal in the middle of the day, for example.
st anger is ok. grindcore and death core sukkks balls. metal core is way more punk than metal

Neither was Lemmy kind of. He's just an important icon in the black metal world. He isn't really that bad if you ask me but it's nothing brilliant. The real power is in the melodies and riffs for Bathory anyway.

Yeah, don't get me wrong I think Bathory are epic, but I find some of his singing flat out horrible...
His singing on One Rode to Asa Bay was pretty bad I'd agree, but the music is just that good.

Several of Bathory's albums would be in my top 20 or so of all time, but TBH Quorthon really can't sing for shit. The music is great in spite of his vocals, not because of them.
I think you're missing the point if you care that it's bad, but just being aware of its badness just means your brain is still functioning.

I would agree. No one's trashing Quorthon or demeaning his musical skill by criticizing his vocals. The truth is, he doesn't have a great voice; but that doesn't change the fact that he has written some incredible songs.
