What do you see as a 'disgrace' to metal music? Why?

It also has Mystifier, Mortician, Bathory, Absu and Nifelheim. Fucking awesome soundtrack.

@no country for old wainds what did you think of Trash Humpers?

 

[EspaDa]

Black metal is good

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Thrash metal is best

 

[The Butt]

nah

 

[Omni]

Trad metal is best.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

nah

yes

I'm still really confused by people who like minimalist trash can black metal. It is to me the equivalent of pouring three cans of paint on an old lawn chair and calling it high art.

 

[Phylactery]

I find those thrash fans that think it’s the “purest” form of metal to be the most annoying. Like how UltraBoris comes off in his reviews.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... he sounds like an awesome guy.

I’m not sure anyone is calling it high art but I do get the charm sometimes and occasionally buy some cassettes and whatnot. It’s at best for me when it’s a mixture of dark ambient, folk, or synth with the black metal. Reminds me of some old black and white ghost story.

heard a Tony Iommi riff, took the concept of riff and assumed it was the fulfillment of the holy Brahmin and that any music that didn't have it by his own musically illiterate standards was invalid.

again, sounds like an awesome guy. riffs=king as far as metal goes.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

if that's all he talks about sure, but there's nothing wrong at all with favoring riffs. Since it is the true backbone of metal.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

.. i know man, you dont need to tell me. I already agreed with you that yeah he sounds like a moron if riffs are the ONLY part of the music he values. But I'm just pointing out there's nothing wrong with favoring riffs. If anything it comes naturally to most metalheads. And again, riffs are the backbone and most important part of metal, i'm not sure if that's something you are trying to argue against.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

who the fuck said sole man? I think i already went out of my way a few times by saying that riffs are NOT the only important ingredient, but yet here you are bull-heading whatever it is you are trying to get across. And yes, they are by far the most important part of a metal composition. Always have been, always will be.
