Is Summoning good?

[crimsonfloyd]

Ah I see. Nevermind then...

 

[Morbid_Corpse]

Extreme metal? Haha, you've got to be kidding. Summoning are about as extreme as a paper bag zipping along the highway on rollerblades at the whopping speed of .000000005 miles per hour. Get out.

 

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

Honestly, though. I think Summoning is pretty much not metal, except at a few moments with really defined guitar that is definitely metal. That's all that separates them from being "heavy" classical music on an extremely epic post-rock slant.

 

[Cynical]

You can't say that Lugburz isn't metal, though.

 

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

There are exceptions to everything, then. I can say that, can't I?

 

[Cynical]

Saying that there are exceptions to everything is contradictory; if there is an exception to everything, then there must be an exception to the fact that everything has an exception, thus making something lack an exception, thus making your postulate false.

He's got you there.

Conceptually, Summoning are one of the 4 or 5 most extreme bands in metal, inasmuch as they're holding down the far flung edge of what can be considered metal. They're certainly infinitely more 'extreme' in real terms than any death metal band in existence.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

I'm just fucking sick of the word "extreme" all together. Fuck "extreme." Summoning is just excellent heavy neo-classical music to digest.

 

[Mormagil]

I agree completely, for me the word "extreme" conjures up nothing but images of rollerbladers doing backflips over people on scooters in some Happy Meal commercial with Tony Hawk.

@Cynical: YOUR FACE HAS AN EXCEPTION. OH...SHIT!!!

 

[WNxScythe]

Yeah extreme does sound corny... I never tell people I like "extreme metal"... extreme to me sounds like some MTV garbage or some similar commercial labeling to try to appeal to angry teens... you know what I'm talking about I'm sure.

"Extreme" conjures images of remote-controlled toy vehicle commercials. You know, the ones that show the kid ramming the stupid little box into a wall of rocks and climbing a hill of pebbles...

I'm gonna answer this without reading all the other replies:

HOLY FUCK YES, THEY'RE AWESOME!

Haha you know what that reminded me of?

Those commercials with the action figures and stuff where the kids narrate the entire stories ("COBRA, I'LL GET YOU NOW!") and shoot the projectile that the figurine comes with at the enemy, who crashes into a bunch of clear plastic blocks resembling perfectly square ice cubes.

God yes.

lol yes very true

 

[Mormagil]

What I could never figure out is where to get the plastic cubes.

God yes.

Too bad none of the scenery ever fucking came with the figures.

Fuck misleading advertizing.
