I'm beginning to think you want to "mixed martial arts" K.K. Warslut in the face or something.
Nahhh... they have a few good songs. I just think they're overrated.I'm beginning to think you want to "mixed martial arts" K.K. Warslut in the face or something.

It is weird though how they're generating strong opinions on one side or the other.

Perhaps some folks are tone deaf and they don't even realize. Ok let's add some math to the equation:
Bathory : Primordial
Bathory : D666
therefore,
Primordial : D666
Also, there are several D666 songs which would sound awesome if Nemtheanga did the vocals. Again, there's more to it than just Warslut and Nemtheanga getting together and make some shit up. Their partnership, IN THEORY, should be like Demons & Wizards on fucken steroids.
I'm not sure tone is even the issue. When you compare and contrast these two bands, there are stark differences in respect to tempo, lyrical themes, rhythm section and vocal style. Even if there is some common ground with respect to tone, to say they're "similar" is a stretch.
Let's add some more math...
God: Love
Love: Blind
therefore,
Ray Charles is God.
I'd say most songs would sound awesome if Nemtheanga did the vocals. I'm not sure what that proves.
Let's hope it's more like Demons and Wizards without all the crappy music.

Well, yeah, but hang on, I'm not saying D666 is a clone of Primordial, or vice versa. I'm saying they share similar influences and allow those influences to run free in their instrumentation -- namely BATHORY; they also create similar epic musical landscapes, and offer similar chord progressions.
When people look at the history of Primordial, they often tend to lump them in with the other group of 2nd wave BM bands particularly because Dark Romanticism came out in 1993, and this is how both Hammerheart and Misanthropy tried to market them (and look how it backfired). However, if you look beneath the surface, Primordial are significantly closer to a band like D666 than they are, say, Darkthrone or Emperor.
Since I jumped on the Primordial bandwagon late, I'm certainly not going to argue that point with you.
They may be closer to D666 than Emperor, but that still doesn't make them similar. Perhaps we're arguing semantics at this point. However, I'd say as far as extreme Metal goes, Primordial and D666 have more differences than similarities.

Primordial is what happens when you take approximately 63% of the testosterone out of Deströyer 666 and add roughly 4.5 kilos of irish nationalism.[/scientific]

Agreed... just like Poison and Moonsorrow.To me, Primordial and D666 are 2 sides to the same coin.[/draggingthisout]

In conclusion: Deströyer 666 and Primordial might not sound alike at first (or tenth) listen, but they feel similarly and since feeling is what music is about the black man wins this discussion
