>You could not pay me to listen to Burzum.

It's funny how tastes in music work. No 2 people are ever the same.

Personally Burzum is my favourite from that scene. It's beyond stripped back. There's something that resonates with me about picking a nice simple melody, played on a plain old MIDI keyboard (presumably) with a basic sine-wavey type instrument and just riffing on the atmosphere for 8 minutes.

Yep, attach an obligatory "IMO" to every statement that I write in this thread. I definitely agree that there's no objective truth as far as enjoying music. I listen to so much death metal that would sound like noise to most people and that contains eye-rolling levels of goofiness too (e.g. frog-like guttural vocals that I endure only because I like the instrumental parts so much).

I get a lot of hate from the metal community for the fact that CC is my favorite band of all time. Apparently they are too pop. Talk about a bubble.

Doesn't matter, Butchered at Birth is the best DM album of all time IMO.

My favorite DM album is Infester's "To the Depths... In Degradation" :)

Another classic from Moribund. It's a draw between Satans Host and Drawn and Quartered as my favorite from that label. No shit the only album I used to be able to fall asleep while listening to was Hail Infernal Darkness. I saw Satans Host with Deicide in Colorado on June 6th 2006 too. Crazy show.

I love Infester's grinds and sludge but the vocals are too muddy for me personally - they don't have the bite (range) of Schuldiner, Benton or Barnes.
