Do you know who rules?

[Adam90125]

At the gates! My god why didnt anyone tell they were soooo fucking good!!!!! Please, reccomend anything else that blows bollocks off like they do!

 

[Cythraul]

Oh man, not another one of these dumb threads. Okay, just to be polite: Carnal Forge.

 

[J.]

They're good, but Arghoslent and The Chasm are better.

 

[Doomwatcher]

Cenotaph's Riding Our Black Oceans is very much in the vain of early At The Gates.

 

[Life Sucks]

Bands that sound similar to At The Gates (some of them sound more like earlier At The Gates, and some sound more like later At The Gates):

Holymarsh
VII Arcano
Black Dahlia Murder (I don't think they're that good though)
Ceremonial Oath
Intestine Baalism
Eucharist

 

[polarity]

hahahahahahahaha

if you're talking abot pre-SotS then this is just a shit thread

if not then this is a shit thread and you suck

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Everything by At The Gates sucks. I've tried, I've really tried to like them. But nope, they've never written a single decent song, EVER.

The only good band to come out of Sweden that had anything to do with the 'scene' involving bands like ATG, In Flames, and Dark Tranquillity was Dissection. Dissection slays. I'm gonna pop in Somberlain right now.

 

[RosesofShadow]

Dissection Kills.

Arghoslent
Psycroptic
Summoning
Necrophagia
Blut Aus Nord

 

[Toby]

Jean-Pierre, fucking fuck. FUCK. ATG are fuckin awesome, just cause you don't like them doesn't mean they suck and have written no good songs...

 

[Cythraul]

Jean-Pierre, fucking fuck. FUCK. ATG are fuckin awesome, just cause you don't like them doesn't mean they suck and have written no good songs...

They really aren't that good and anyone with an iota of musical taste knows that Dissection fucking owns them.

 

[Toby]

I'm sure Dissection are good, wung, but I've never heard any. ATG are a good band, and Jean-Pierre was going ape

 

[no country for old wainds]

Dissection are absolutely nowhere near the level of ATG at their peak.

 

[stefan86]

Dissection kill all swedish extreme metal bands except The Crown and Dismember.

 

[polarity]

Dissection are absolutely nowhere near the level of ATG at their peak.

I agree.

 

[Toby]

Polarity, you are cool

 

[Morbid_Corpse]

John Pierre.....why do you come to this thread just to pay the band out?

 

[Toby]

Perhaps he hasn't heard any and just wants to disagree

 

[no country for old wainds]

...This is a discussion thread. Did it say 'fans only' in the title? No.

There are many, MANY Swedish extreme bands who own Dissection's bollocks.

 

[no country for old wainds]

"Riding Our Black Oceans" isn't as good as "The Red in the Sky is Ours" but you'll like it, I should think. It takes a lot of listens for Sacramentum to show their true worth, I think. They sound very glossy at first. You'll be eating your words at some point in your life.

 

[Slayed Necros]

The Red in the Sky is Ours is among the greatest death metal albums of all time, and even though I like Dissection(obviously I liked them a hell of alot more at my join date), it is far superior to anything they've released. Dissection's good, but highly overrated. There are much better Swedish releases.
