Controversial opinions on metal

[Onder]

Fucking idiotic faggots ITT. Bleh.

 

[mutantllama]

although I can't help but think of Dimmu Borgir a bit (not really a negative).

Yes, because I'm sure Immortal was trying rip off Dimmu Borgir.

 

[Mulver]

Blut aus Nord are underrated.

 

[Mort Divine]

overrated*

 

[Necroraven]

Not really music related, but why do so many Black metal bands have to wear almost the EXACT same style of white and black "corpse paint"? Almost all of them look like derivates of early Mercyful Fate King Diamond. He wasn't the first to wear it either (one of the first though), but he was with that particular look.

You haven't seen too many black metal bands, have you? Why do so many metal bands have that same chains, leather, long hair & band shirts gay-look??!!

It's almost a parody of itself and becoming as bad as all of the glam bands of the 80's.

This is worthy of a gigantic facepalm.

Lots of fucking faggotry in this thread all of a sudden.

Yes.

overrated*

Yes.

Last One on Earth > The Rack

TheNightsBane: The Official HamburgerBoy Facepalm count is currently at: 7.

 

[Krow]

Bands that actually do the vocals right: Lamb of God

Is this real life?

Last One on Earth > The Rack

Agreed. Great DM albums.

Is this real life?

No, not really.

 

[The Ozzman]

Agreed. Great DM albums.

I didn't really like The Rack at first because of the vocal style, but then I got Last One on Earth and the doomier style really fits with van Drunen's vox a lot better. It's a more crushing album.

 

[Onder]

Asphyx just rules. And Death The Brutal Way is awesome too.

 

[Blackest Ov The Black]

Blut aus Nord are underrated.

Yes.

overrated*

No.

I agree with Sefag.

- Blaze Bayley > Paul Di'Anno
- Corvus is by far the best singer Horna has had
- Archgoat is vastly underrated
- Icons of Evil > Dechristianize

 

[Talking Backwards]

Is this real life?

I'm talking about those using Death and/or Black, or just "extreme" vocals. I never said that they were any good, only that they do those kinds of vocals right. At least you can understand what is being said the majority of the time, or it at least attempts to emulate "singing" instead of just gurggling or shrieking because that's the "troo kvlt evil" thing to do.

Yes, because I'm sure Immortal was trying rip off Dimmu Borgir.

Way to add more to what I was actually saying. I said that they reminded me of them a bit (on some songs). Let me put it in words that you might understand: they don't make me want to instantly shut their music off, unlike most of the black bands I hear.

 

[The Emptier]

Last One on Earth > The Rack

Agreed.

 

[Necroraven]

- Blaze Bayley > Paul Di'Anno

No. At his best he was a mediocre singer who was unfortunately forced to sing material he couldn't remotely. Di'Anno was pure awesome in Iron Maiden. Just listen to versions of Bruce Dickinson singing material from both periods; most Di'Anno songs he can't get quite right but he brings new life into the Bayley songs. The first two albums couldn't have had a better vocalist.

- Archgoat is vastly underrated

I would have went with overrated. Completely unoriginal and boring. I'm sure theres better war metal bands out there than them.
