Metal World Cup

haha, well the "legendary" bands can suck my balls. Sulphur Aeon is unstoppable. And calling Alkaloid a "pile of shit" is laughable. Don't you have any fucking respect for musicianship dude??
Why would I cite those bands when I don't like the vast majority of them? I mean Keator clearly needs to take a break, Necronomicon's last album was good, I'll give you that, but nothing special. Accept is just a bland heavy metal/rock band etc. I could go on. I could cite more German acts to prove my point like Waldgefluster, Helrunar, Wolfchant, Thulcanrda, etc. I can even expand to bands like Helloween, Running Wild, Iron Savior, Orden Ogan blah blah. I could go on. I can't be bothered to read this whole topic though, so which country won?

You are speaking to a collective that mostly has an aversion to tech death, so what do you expect? I respect musicianship, but there comes a point when time signature shifts, complex arrangements, tricky scales, and sweeps dont necessarily mean better music. As a fan of Obscura's Omnivium I cant say that I am entirely removed from enjoying modern tech death, but I wouldnt automatically put it to the top of my favorites just because 90% of the bands I listen to couldnt even dream of playing it. Alkaloid is occasionally fun to listen to, but unfortunately I get little out of it and the same goes for most bands in the genre.

I forgot that those bands were Ukrainian. Thanks for the reminder. Now I know Trump will be doing the right thing buddying up with Putin. May the rest of Ukraine be annexed as well.
All well and fair and good. I didn't realize the rules of this thread were centered around bands' contribution to genres or metal as a whole. I thought it was talking about currently active bands who are producing quality music today, regardless of their legacy or what they've done for the genre as a whole. My bad for not reading the rules. Also, I didn't know there was an "aversion" to tech death on here. I don't really pay attention to what other people like. I know that @Krow isn't a tech death fan, but other people here...? No, I assumed all these years I've been here (a lot of them) that people enjoyed bands like the ones I listed. They're so fun to listen to.

Yeah but they're also worse than a lot of things he likes.
I'd rather listen to GG Allin farting into an empty beer can personally.
haha. fair enough. but calling a band like Obscura "a pile of shit" is, let's make it noted, way outside of normal.

Listening to the title track now, I can see myself getting into this upon further spins. Production is a bit wimpy but it's forgivable.
