I do like me some Hate Eternal, really enjoyed Phoenix Amongst the Ashes. Their focus on a-melodicism and dissonance throughout the whole album I found to be really appealing. |

Indeed they do. You think bands like Blind Guardian, Manowar, and Hammerfall are faking their love of fantasy and metal? And I think sometimes power metal bands do have too clean a production job, but since they're not really trying to sell aggression like a Killswitch Engage or a Meshuggah, it doesn't really ruin the music in their case.

Of course I also don't like the vocals. Randy Blythe went from sounding uncompromising and tortured, to sounding like a corn balled tough guy trying to sound vaguely "extremish". And I'm also just not a big groove metal fan. But that doesn't really have anything to do with the production.

I like Meshuggah a lot but I've never found them particularly angry. I don't even think that's what they're going for. Aggressive? Yes, but in the way a force of nature is aggressive.

I guess we do. Looks like this discussion is starting to spin around in circles. It was a good run.

the angriest thing I've ever heard is from this Canto-punk-rap group Lazy Motherfuckers called "The Last Surviving Member of a Soon to be Dead Family" (it's actually a lot ruder in Cantonese and you can be killed for using it in Hong Kong to the wrong people)
but it's also funny aggression, I guess |
