Immortal shits on both bands and make them look like losers.
Sabbath and Maiden did too.
Just some boners
Blunders thrown in.
Immortal alone is better than all heavy metal combined
Just Pure or Battles
@Nester LACK OF ACTUAL INTERNAL TENSION
SEEMS KIND OF LUKEWARM TO ME
better than all heavy metal and thrash combined.
LOVE THE FIRST, SECOND AND FOURTH
DO NOT MIND "AT THE HEART OF WINTER"
BUT IT IS LIKE CEMETARY
HIGHLY SENTIMENTAL
My buddy proved they rip off themselves in that to me.
It's all Miaden + earlier immortal riffs.
He sold the CD due to that
I don't understand that, @diversity_is_racism . Pure is a bit detached and whimsical. But Battles is extremely tense, as if it's barely holding together.
THE TOP TEN IN BLACK METAL ARE ALL FAIRLY COMPARABLE
And is being attacked from all sides perpetually.
CLEARLY BURZUM WINS THE GENRE
@Nester BARELY HOLDING TOGETHER = DRIVEN BY RHYTHM AND TECHNIQUE MORE THAN CONTENT
FITTING WITH ITS RELATIVELY RUSHED NATURE
But is something like Onward to Golgotha black metal?
Like the first 10 seconds of At the Stormy Gates of Mist
It's certainly closer than all of USBM.
Same with the first three Morbid Angel.
Like climbing up a mountain pathway and almost being overtaken by the wind
Snow up to knees, every step is taking everything out of you.
Change the vox and guitar tone and Show no Mercy is basically Enslaved
With the clear worship of influences with single note fills.
You're almost unconscious, aren't so as to your great will.
And proggish riff progressions.
EARLY ENSLAVED IS SOMEWHAT AMAZING
PROBLEM WAS YOUTH
VIKINGLGR VELDI IS GREATNESS
Internal struggle, internal tension.
EVEN IF SIMPLE SOMETIMES
The problem was rhuebnever got over imitating their influences.
They started at it.
Then went Manowar
