They are shit. Total bagload of shit.

A band that wasn't supposed to be formed with a sheer mediocre albums they dropped in. Atleast for me I guess that makes the "BLS" a fucking never existed band.

Then perhaps you would like to explain why they're in your favourites list?

Oh it is??....yeah it's in the list.

Well, As snake said...I use to add the band the moment I listen to it but you know what??....."They are shit. i got their lot of stuff with me and it's all BS tbh".

Now do i have to remove from my list??

Yes I have to. btw it gonna be remain in my collection.

I like how Cynic stopped answering, when confronted with having BLS in his favourite bands-list.

i didn't stop answering, it's just that I was sleeping and now I got up, I saw the message.

Black Label Society

They were never a band. Never such thing existed.

But the songs exist.

Pay no mind to the village idiot... he does his job well.

Hahahaha at the BLS stuff ( I''m a big fan of them)... anyway on topic I never used to like Devin Townsend, Carcass, Intronaught or Megadeth and now I like all of them.

Cradle of Fifth by far. Amazing vocals, melodic guitar riffs, and songs about getting naked in a graveyard.........Nah they're terribad and always will be.

Probably Gojira has the biggest impact for me. I thought they''re going to be just another average Progressive Death Metal band, which IMO is a pretty overrated genre. In the end my friend "forced" me to listen to "From Mars to Sirius" and I fell in love.

If I remember Zao is probably another band, but now they're clearly my favourite.

The hardest one that comes to my mind is The Black Dahlia Murder. I heard some of their early works when I was first getting into metal so it was quite the shock (especially vocals and lyrical content) and I never gave them a second chance until a few years ago with Deflorate and now Ritual.

Since then, however, I find they are easily one of the best melodic death metal bands out there today. Emphasis on the death metal.

I used to think that Ahab is somehow boring, but I kind of enjoy them in certain moods right now. Divinity Of The Oceans sounds really great at times, but I still feel it's so slow at other times. Maybe more listening will change this into the better.

I still find 'em boring after having listened to 'Call Of The Wretched Sea' roughly three times. Still the only funeral doom band I've listened to, so maybe I will grow to appreciate them after having delved a bit deeper into the doom genre itself (which I'm currently doing).

Besides Ahab, I've listened to several Esoteric songs and they slay.

Get used to it, especially when you venture into funeral doom.

Drone/ambient for sure.

I used to think, wow, one riff played once a minute with some noise in the background? lol dafuq's this shit.

But now I seem to just fall into a void when listening, I absorb every little sound in it.

I'm trying to, and it's KIND of working.

Kvelertak is about the only one I can think of. Usually if I don't like a band on the first listen, I wont bother with it. When I first heard Kvelertak's album, I really didn't like it. I thought it sounded very clean, dumbed down and radio friendly, and thought they were trying to mix way too many elements that just made it turn into a big confusing mess. For some reason, I do not know why, I kept listening to it (usually in the background while doing something else and not really paying attention) and I found myself really starting to enjoy certain parts of certain songs, though I didn't know which ones I was listening to as the album kind of just ran together for me. I suppose it's okay to like light-hearted, "rocky" sounding metal sometimes.

I used to not think much about KMFDM, but now I like them a lot.

I remember myself disliking Lamb Of God, but now they're one of my favorite bands.

I remember hating megadeth because I was looking through my friend's guitar magazine, and on every poll they won (the year endgame came out) and I kept thinking like what is so good about this shitty band then I eventually looked them up, and now I love them this also happened to me with Mastodon cause I heard colony of birchmen and was like what the fuck is this shit. Then I listened to Leviathan, and my opinion of them changed

Since I bought their debut I've liked ahab. Although I do agree it's a lot easier to listen to in certain settings, not really moods. I find it's not a "song or two on the bus" kind of album, it's much better if you can chill out and enjoy the whole thing.

Believe it or not I used to dislike cannibal corpse. This was very long ago, when I really wasn't into death metal at all. The vocals bugged me. For a long time I didn't like them (although credit goes to hammer smashed face for being one of the core songs that got me into death metal) but recently I have really been liking everything about them. They're still putting out really good stuff and, George Fisher. No more needs to be said.

Why wouldn't we believe you?

I am a big death metal fan, but I disliked them when they started and still dislike them.

Gotta agree about Ahab, especially about the bus thing.
About Cannibal Corpse, I've only heard their Tomb Of The Mutilated and disliked it. Not sure if I would check out their other works.

I used to really really hate Metallica, but now I've kidna softened up on them, but I only like the first two albums and a couple songs on MoP and AJFA. I also used to hate Cannibal Corpse, but now I enjoy a few albums (Tomb of The Mutilated, Kill, about 1/3 of Torture)

There was also a long time where I hated anything black metal, and even though I still don't care for much in the way of traditional black metal, I enjoy bands that are fusions of black and other styles, blackened thrash, progressive black, blackened death, folk black, etc.

Well the only reason it might be a bit hard to believe is because they are now on my favourite bands list, Torture is my favourite album of 2012 (so far) and I basically worship George Fisher.

Once you realize that their goal is to basically make a musical version of a horror movie it really starts getting fun listening to them. And they seem like really cool guys too, from the interviews and the short documentary I watched about the making of Evisceration Plague from the 2-disc version. Was 100% funny when GCF was doing the power metal screams during Scalding Hail, he is just a legend.

Honestly I like Tomb of the Mutilated, but as far as Cannibal Corpse goes I think George Fisher blows Chris Barnes out of the water vocals wise. The man's voice is just sheer power. Basically their sound seemed to thicken a little as they moved away from the early era, I think Bloodthirst is a great record with GCF on vocal duties.

I hadn't checked your favourite band list

And tbh I find Fscher's vocals to be the most generic coookie cutter (yeah that bad in that sense hahaha) death metal vocals around.

I have always regarded them in that way and then they fail even more imo because in order for it to be a good musical version of a horror movie it needs atmosphere and creepiness. A thing a band such as Necrophagia does manage to evoke.

Autopsy's Mental Funeral too. The doomy soundscapes create a repulsive feeling to the whole record, especially the shit samples in "Robbing The Grave".

I like Fisher's vocals with Monstrosity.

He PUT IN WORK with Monstrosity he did an awesome job there too.

@Marcel the only thing I can further really say is "to each his own", I guess Cannibal Corpse isn't for everyone

The cookie cutter vocals comment, I see where you're coming from and his vocals certainly aren't outside the conventional DM spectrum but it's just power and force behind them. Just intense.

Pretty much anything with harsh vocals. I used to strictly listen to classic metal but I've expanded my tastes over time.

Well I remember myself back in the days I couldn't stand anything that was Screaming, Growling... and now look at me, I crave for it lollll

I would imagine quite a large amount of people who listen to metal with those type of vocals would agree lol

I actually liked harsh vocals straight up.

Can't think of any band that fits this description.
Oh, right, when I was 9, I disliked Pink Floyd
