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