I disagree with a lot of that list. Leprosy is fantastic (if a bit disturbing)! Same goes for Warmaster by Bolt Thrower and Trilogy by Yngwie...

^Damn straight. Not the best but certainly intriguing.
Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

But then again why shouldn�t I post a covers like the meat collages by Carcass if I felt they were they ugliest covers in the world? As long as it�s part of the thread intention I don�t see it as a problem. I�m going through the death metal sub at the moment ( and probably a few years from nowWink) and I�ve seen my fair share of bestial and quite frankly tasteless cover artwork. That�s also what this site is about though. We represent every genre in metal, also the ones we might not enjoy much ourselves. For instance I found a white supremacy act the other day. That kind of got me bothered but not for a second do I consider censorship. That would more or less ruin the credibility of MMA IMO.


There are quite a few such acts included in the database, and - when I first saw them and their names - I was rather shocked as well. Unfortunately, they exist, and dealing with them is a classic case of 'damned if you do, damned if you don't'. When you have a database which aspires to being as complete as possible, it is almost a duty to include every metal band, even those whose beliefs are abhorrent. I would, however, draw the line to any kind of glorification of the aforementioned beliefs, and I don't think I have to explain why.

^ Do you rworst then post the ugly covers, to I believe those covers at least show the intent of thebands rather than just bad covers. Heres another I think is rather silly
 
 
WACO JESUS - Receptive When Beaten cover
 
CARCASS - Choice Cuts cover
 
DEFECATION - Intention Surpassed cover
 
Let the hate continue....

I have to "defend" the Slayer thread though,
At 1st it was just to tell "why" he didnt like them, and it would start a "Discussion" because they are VERY popular.  I like a few albums but their are alot of bands of that era (imho) that were better musicians, but . . . Slayer has a sound that I like sometimes.  Its that sound-why they are popular.
But the thread got heated, instead of "opinions" it got into a Bash.  Folks have to remember that what they write is "their own opinion" and NOT "My way or the highway" Ermm.

Hehe, yes and guess who started it (and I'm a bit disturbed by the statement "My 1st negitive thread", as
I see PA turning into a "Slam Pit", dont let it happen hereConfused).
AtomicCrimsonRush . . . take a bow Clap.


As long as I am part of the Admin team, this will NOT happen. I fought long and hard against the spread of negative threads on PA, but after a while I got tired of talking to the wall, so to speak. If people think that the only way to discuss music is by bashing what they don't like, then I'd rather not discuss it altogether. For the time being, the negative threads have been kept to a minimum, and no one has turned sour yet. However, if this becomes a trend, I and the others will try our best to put an end to it
This was not created to slam metal but to have fun withthe silliness of metal and like every genre there are some downright stupid ideas in the music esp the album covers. I like it so far the way pple ave responded but of course this is only a bit of fun and hopefully will remain that way - if not just get rid of the thread - its that easy tho its an eye opener to se some of these albums esp that warrior one - what were they thinkingLOLLOLLOL
on the other hand I hate threads that slam bands like Dream Theater - thats just offensive.Dead I noticed a thread here called I hate Slayer and I refuse to post in it at all.
GLAM METAL!

I'm glad Raff Smile
I stepped into another " I HATE DREAM THEATER" thread at PA, and the few poor guys that just "mentioned" they liked them, they end up getting beat-up by the peanut gallery (AND I get equally mad at the DT "Holier than Thou" Fans as well) Unhappy.
I just HOPE that "this" thread is in Fun, and will not get bashed if I said (or anyone) "But I LIKE that cover".

But Raff, how "Explicit" can we get with Album Covers? Metal/"Gore Metal" can be EXTREMELY gross
and shocking, I for one wont put them up, because I think it'll have a dominoe effect (for good or bad).
But a Bad cover is a Bad cover (in taste and/or execution), but its "In the Eye of the Beholder".
. . . i think Stern Smile.
