there isn't any hypocrisy at all

gorguts doesnt sound like most tech-death, and never has. have you even heard erosion of sanity or considered dead? they sound nothing like neuraxis or fleshgod or whatever other bullshit dm you praise

dude, I'm referring to the new gorguts song in particular. thats where the whole argument started

[QUOTE]they sound nothing like neuraxis or fleshgod or whatever other bullshit dm you praise[/QUOTE]

perfect case of you guys being ignorant and writing off tech death. Neuraxis and fleshgod sound nothing a fucking like

neuraxis old stuff in particular is a great example of tech death that is literally riffs. No "wank" anywhere

even their new stuff has minimal wank, they're the kings of the groovy riff. But they have no mx cred so nobody cares.

of the gorguts I've listened to it sounds like experimental jazz with double bass and distortion

[quote]dude, I'm referring to the new gorguts song in particular. thats where the whole argument started[/quote]

read carefully - gorguts doesnt sound like most tech-death, and never has. i believe this statement includes the new song. gorguts sounds like gorguts.

[quote]perfect case of you guys being ignorant and writing off tech death. Neuraxis and fleshgod sound nothing a fucking like[/quote]

yes, except we're writing off the genre for the shitty bands in it. i dont need to know that those two bands are nothing alike, in fact i wasnt even implying that they sounded alike so this is just you picking out an irrelevant thing i said in order to make your baseless argument seem stronger.

Gonna have to agree with this. I used to like Neuraxis to a point, but always thought they felt a little soulless. I'm curious about their new one though, but it's the idea of it being 'soulless' that kills a lot of tech death for me. I realize it's impossible to quantify or rationalize, but it's a feeling I get from bands. I feel like Gorguts, while technical yeah, have a bit of emotion or angst to them that some tech death doesn't.

adb you're right that there is a general opinion on music here and sometimes it seems people only like something because people talk about it on here (idk how true that really is across the board, but i know what you mean), but saying gorguts is only cool on the internet is dumb as fuck

People generally agreeing on a lot of bands isn't limited to this one forum, lots of metalheads all tend to like similar bands because a ton of people tend to lean towards old school and traditional death metal in general. You will find people who might listen to Autopsy and Deeds of Flesh but it's way less likely than to find someone who enjoys bands in the vein of Death and Immolation (like most people here). It's not because we're sheep but it's because those bands all have a style that appeals to the taste of a lot of metalheads while stuff like teach death tends to appeal to those who maybe aren't as rooted in older metal.

they are dude. I've never been to a dm or metal forum where they are disliked

I've lurked around and posted in many

especially SMN, which is like the main dm forum I've been around

they're adored there

adb: discerning other people's taste through internet forums since 2009

they're almost universally adored because they're really good and because they're one of the most unique and influential death metal bands of all time. assuming that because they're popular on the internet they're not popular outside of it isn't really fair.

and tyler, new neuraxis isn't that great aside from the first few tracks, especially the title track

Yeah like you'll hardly ever find people who don't like Death. It's because they're really good and really important to the whole of death metal. It's not because a bunch of metalheads on the internet think it's cool to like them.

oh, wont bother then. i thought i'd read (on here?) that it was a bit more melodic, which intrigued me.

i mean yeah, they are loved on the internet, but they had a fan base before the internet and forums were around.

someone stop the presses, a majority of people who post in a thread about a genre of music for multiple years with a tightknit community will tend to listen to many of the same bands

Yeah, mx is responsible for a lot of what I listen to, but there's nothing wrong with that. People are up on their game on here and I hear about a ton of stuff that way, i check it out and if I like it I keep it.

fuck all of you guys and adb too

no u

I like to come here and talk about the music I listen to with you guys because no one I know listens to any of it.

i know man like how little must you have going on to be like 'hm how should i spend my day i think i'll go argue with people i will never meet in my entire life' it's so annoying how you guys always argue with adb like just stop man let's get some pos vibes back in here

mutant supremacy. awesome? yes

yeah their corpses in pieces demo is really good. i haven't heard the full length though

Listened to it earlier while I was doing dishes from what I could tell it was legit, will listen again soon.

that's a hilarious sentence for reasons i cannot explain

[QUOTE=Tyler;18422470]oh, wont bother then. i thought i'd read (on here?) that it was a bit more melodic, which intrigued me.[/QUOTE]
def more melodic, if you're a fan it's probably worth like a listen or two. some parts reminded me of anata i think.

and lol @ adb. he hasn't listened to FWTH in its entirety and claims gorguts mindless tech death wank. and no, the new song isn't 'tech death wank' either.

hating on a band for being tech death wank when all you listen to is tech death wank is such an adb thing to do

no it isn't tech death wank it's a wall of overwhelming dissonant noise :lol:

so avant garde

Okay cool, so the entire Montreal scene is only on the internet?
