Bands That Go "Wuurgggh!"

beat mouse:

--- Quote from: Jedit ---That being the collective name I give to the primarily-Scandinavian metal bands of varying stripes who routinely shoot themselves and/or other people and make jewellery out of each other's bones.  What I'd like to know is, what's the difference between Death Metal, Black Metal, and all the other dubious flavours of overbassed songs about killing everyone in the name of/to save them from Satan?

(Yes, I will stop stereotyping now.  :))

I'd also like to know why the hell anyone listens to Opeth, but the answer to that is likely to be subjective so don't bother.

You don't actually want to know, you just want to insult and hate. Do us all a favour and shut up.

Oh. shit I guess I got beaten to this a few times. I didn't bother reading the thread.

Outshined:
The reason I enjoy Opeth is because of their unparalleled ability to alternate between musical extremes with a great degree of grace.  They can go from a more rhythmic, textural, "abrasive" sound to the most beautiful melodic passage you have ever heard within the space of a single composition several times and still remain cohesive.  

Also, the cathartic nature of the lyrics appeals to me.

Rizzo:
Aside from the vocals I actually quite enjoy that grindcore track. It was mean. Vocals... meh but I can mostly ignore that.

Misereatur:

Think how I felt when Misereatur began talking about "the wrong kind of growl for black metal".  A less open-minded person would have assumed he was taking the mickey.  I might have too, had it been April 1st.

Meanwhile, I wasn't being condescending - just not taking the matter too seriously.  "20 Golden Grindcore Melodies" (which is not available in the shops, but call our 1-800 hotline now to order your copy for the low, low price of $19.99) is a recurring gag I pull out whenever the idea of Ronco bastardising and homogenising yet another musical genre is apt.  It usually gets a laugh even without my acting out the lounge piano version of Napalm Death's "You Suffer".

Please learn the difference between "don't" and "can't" and when to apply them correctly.

My post about "the right growls fot the right metal" was for hey_there_fatty mostly. Because he said that Opeth had the best growls ever, and I wanted to point out that Opeth's growls are great for Opeth, but not for Mayhem for example.

You are condescending.

Jedit:

How can I be condescending when I don't consider you inferior and I'm not patronising you?

Something I've said has clearly been misinterpreted along the way, but for the last goddamn time: I am not being condescending.
