Controversial opinions on metal

[Doomguy]

Gorgoroth only had 2 good albums. Pentagram and Antichrist. Under the Sign of Hell was decent. Once Gaahl took over vocals the band went to shit.

I prefer Destroyer to all three of those albums.

Destroyer isn't even a real fucking album.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

and for fuck sake Death is over-rated too. Cannibal Corpse is superior in my opinion honestly

 

[VelociBrad]

CC is up there with SFU as the most overrated. Never understood the appeal, even when I was first getting into DM.

 

[Balmung]

I also think that CC are overrated, personally I don't like them that much.
Death has some fucking awesome albums, being Symbolic the best IMO.

 

[bagdad]

Death is arguably my favourite band. I'll never understand the hate the band gets on these forums (I'm not sure who here actively hates Death at the moment but I know over the years there have been many users that trashed Death and Chuck directly)

As for a favourite Death album, I can't pick one.

I also can't stand grindcore. The only bands I can tolerate in some capacity are Napalm Death and Pig Destroyer.

CC suck.

Dark Tranquillity are the most consistent group in modern metal.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

its just as soon as Chuck Schuldiner died 1000's of fanboys emerged hailing him as the second coming of christ (which happens almost everytime a musician dies) don't get it twisted Death was a great band and chuck was an inovator its just that there is better death metal out there

 

[damnromulans]

Dark Tranquillity are the most consistent group in modern metal.

I would say Amorphis are. They've managed to release the same album 3-4 times.

 

[waif]

Amon Amarth are absurdly consistent. I've never met anyone who liked only some of their output aside from a few for whom only Sorrow Throughout the Nine Worlds is kvlt enough.

I think Motorhead deserve some sort of award for career-long consistency, as well.

Oh look, a conversation about Death

[Einherjar86]

What the fuck is with all these new fish spouting this ridiculous amateur bullshit?

 

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

My only guess is it has something to do with school starting, or something. IDK.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

and for fuck sake Death is over-rated too. Cannibal Corpse is superior in my opinion honestly

n00b is right.

 

[J.]

cannibal corpse is paint-by-numbers death metal. they are the musical equivalent of Cliff's Notes in that they offer nothing in the way of emotion or substance

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I happen to be of the opinion that Cannibal Corpse has crafted some of the most memorable and well written songs in death metal.

 

[waif]

J. is completely right here. I enjoy Kill and there are a few songs here and there that are quality but overall it's pretty shit.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

cannibal corpse is one of the only death metal bands even worth listening to anymore (that still record/write). because they still make great records not clinging to the nostalgia of previous works, death was a great band but CC is still going strong

 

[J.]

that's cool. my musical palette simply demands more.

 

[Xorv]

IMMOLATION is one of the only death metal bands even worth listening to anymore (that still record/write). because they still make great records not clinging to the nostalgia of previous works, death was a great band but CC is still going strong

quit cliging to one band. (cc)
