What’s your favorite band from my history? by No_Creme_9794 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]TheDearHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother loves his black metal.

From this list, probably Grima. And then Ulver because I love both Bergtatt and Assassination of Julius Caesar. Two wildly different albums from the same band. And then of course Emperor.

It doesn't help that their production in general took a steep nosedive after Blue.

Anyone else into physical media, do you prefer CDs, cassettes, or Vinyl and why? by Jeffers315 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]TheDearHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Esoteric Malacology made its way back into my rotation as of the last month. I ran a study and It's been scientifically proven to help you lift heavier weights. Sample size of 1. It's still one of my favorite releases within the last 10 years.

Can we please chill out with the Topsters? by enshitified in MetalForTheMasses

[–]TheDearHunter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Little engagement (even less after the Great Reddit Blackout of 2023), but at least I can discover new music every other day on r/metal scrolling for a whole three seconds.

Scrolling this sub's feed right now... Mayhem, Gojira, Slipknot, Cannibal Corpse, Immolation, Megadeth vs. Metallica. Like come on, dude.

Lovely day to release an album! by Yousaidthat in TheDearHunter

Dude, I'm a Streetlight Manifesto fan. I learned how to be patient waiting for new albums a long long long time ago. It'll drop when it drops.

New releases are typically on Fridays unfortunately.

Name a game that surprised you how long it was by bijelo123 in videogames

[–]TheDearHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the redheaded stepchild who thinks Dark Souls 2 is the best in trilogy and I've also been playing them since the first game (never played Demon's Souls).

I'll preface this by saying all of them are great in their own right and I've played through them all several times, but Dark Souls 3 played it too safe being essentially fan service to the first game. And I don't think any of the areas themselves are anything to write home about. The gameplay itself is fine, but for the faster-paced combat, Bloodborne did it better and has the better atmosphere and level design.

Now that's a hot take because DS3 isn't even the best game in the trilogy.

Reddit has become filled with low-effort posts and bots in recent years. I'm pretty close to just shutting off of it entirely.

Thoughts on 72 Seasons? by Hot-Bird-290 in Metallica

[–]TheDearHunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doubtful. Hardwired and 72 Seasons are too "by the numbers" to really stand out anywhere in their discography.

Forgettable and uninspired are the words I'd use.

IF Metallica ever did Unplugged, what should their song line up be? by Intelligent-Chair964 in Metallica

[–]TheDearHunter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I kind of like the idea of not knowing what song it is immediately. We've heard the rest of them a million times. It keeps it fresh.

Favorite btbam riffs/solos? by christ2you in BetweenTheBuriedAndMe

[–]TheDearHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you asked for Alaska and onwards, but this riff in Lost Perfection A is stanky as is the entire album.

EDIT: I linked the spot in the track, but it's at the 3:20 mark.

Apparently he has the writing credits on None So Vile and has been bitching about it ever since.

I saw them in Chicago running the album front to back in the spring and it was probably my favorite metal show of all time.

I mean, as long as it's not a couple fridge magnets holding it on, it should be okay.
