There's no problem, call it whatever you want.
I just think it's silly to refer to music you think is good as "****ty".
With that said, good thread. I'm not going trying to derail it.

I agree with you.
And... Death? C'mon, Chuck Schuldiner was never low-rent scuzz.

I think Batlord means raw metal, and he's generalizing it with a term that he's been trying to coin here for a while now. Death's early stuff is pretty raw in all fairness. To me though, production doesn't mean ****. Lots of great music has horse**** production.
You know it was kind of a tongue-in-cheek title I thought up in about five seconds. It wasn't meant to be some grand statement. It's just a reference to at least vaguely trashy metal that isn't really meant to be particularly exclusive.

True. It's just semantics I guess. The thread title is kind of a scuzzy way to get attention, though. And it's confusing.
Attention seeking? Me? Never.

Don't take any notice of them, you're more metal than the lot of them put together.
Ah, Hellhammer. One of the big three of early black metal along with Venom and Bathory. Basically they just sped up Venom with a little hardcore punk, dirtied it up further with some delightfully abysmal production, and came up with one of the most influential rackets of all time. There was no subtlety to be had with these guys. The best they could manage was to slow down and hit you with a long, doomier version of their faster material, which of course ruled. After an EP they would break up and continue on as Celtic Frost and history knows the rest. I'm not the biggest Frost fan, since at first they were basically just trying to make Hellhammer sound respectable. Hellhammer do not sound respectable, nor should they. They made ugly, primitive noise that doesn't need to be improved.
So if you'd like to annoy your parents and let them know what a moron you are at the same time, then you could do worse than to blast some Hellhammer.
