[Stormwatch]

Finally, someone with a fucking clue. But, Viking isn't a real genre.

OK...let's see.

Power: Celesty, Manticora, Heavenly
Thrash: Artillery, Dark Angel, Evildead
Death: Intestine Baalism, Kronos, Saprogenic
Black: Eikenskaden, Negurã Bunget, Maniac Butcher
Folk: Àsmegin, Månegarm, Moonsorrow
Doom: Morgion, Orodruin, Electric Wizard
Gothic: Ador Dorath, Ram-Zet, n/a (I like 2 "gothic" bands)
Progressive: Ark, Sun Caged, maudlin of the Well
Gothenburg/melodeath: Holymarsh, Arise, Baal

Woo.

No offence VVVVVVVVVV, but is this list serious?
"Artillery"? You seriously prefer this band to old Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth or Slayer? The bands you've listed are pretty fucking obscure. Is that to look knowledgable or do you really think Saprogenic are better than Vital Remains?
Honest, I'm not taking the piss, it just seems some people would rather name obscure bands than say they like Deicide.

 

[EternalEnemy]

I dont think im wrong. Well for example, listen to Thryfing-The Giants Laughter. Do you find something black in it? Do you find something folky in it?


Well, i dont know about most viking, im not familiar with the underground. But what can be considered viking? There IS a viking sound, and those bands that embrace that sound are the ones that should be labeled as viking.


And yes, viking does have a lots of folk in it, i admit. Just like theres a lot more thrash in old-school death metal. We still call it death metal, dont we?

I seriously do prefer Artillery to every fucking one of the BIG THRASH 4, mainly because there are better bands if you look deeper underground. I can honestly say I prefer Saprogenic to Vital Remains, mainly because I have an opinion that I can exercise on the matter. I also think Deicide blow an ungodly (no pun intended) amount of cock. Please stop misspelling my name, too. Do it right or don't do it at all.

That's because "By Inheritance" and "Darkness Descends" are better than anything releaed by Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth or Slayer (and I love the last two bands for their early work).

[Stormwatch]

That doesn't make sense. You think Saprogenic are better than Vital Remains simly because you HAVE AN OPINION ON THE MATTER? Way to like a band, mate.

Please stop misspelling my name, too. Do it right or don't do it at all.

Sorry VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV. Or Worm Infested Anal Tract as you were once known.
VVVVVVVV.

What the hell are you gaining out of starting this argument anyways? Go away.
