Extreme metal[edit]

Although not an album review, I found this article by Rolling Stone, which calls this album an "extreme metal opus". Here is the link to the article: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/h-r-gigers-greatest-album-cover-art-20140513/debbie-harry-the-jam-was-moving-0760223

So, my question is, can I add "extreme metal" to the genre box based on this article?-Teh Thrasher 16:07, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

Anyone know who played trombone on this album? I can't find out anywhere. Boris B 06:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Black metal[edit]

How is this album black metal? What makes it black metal? There are no blast beats, no screams, no satan related lyrics, no or very few tremolo picked parts, no extreme tempos... it's a thrash album. Kameejl ^(Talk) 22:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, by your definition, Venom's Black Metal isn't black metal then. That certainly creates quite a paradox. And if "satanic" lyrics a black metal band makes, Morbid Angel and Deicide would be black metal then. And Immortal wouldn't be black metal, because 90% of their lyrics are about their rather disturbing snow fetish. Also, most of the early Norwegian black metal fare didn't have extreme tempos at all... Musicaindustrial (talk) 12:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where did I say that every band with satanic lyrics is black metal? A single trait doesn't make any band any genre. A combination of traits do. If an album doesn't contain any element of genre X, it can't be genre X, simple common sense... The only thing To Mega Therion and black metal have in common is the use of distorted guitars and that just isn't enough.

And the music of early Norvigian black metal bands (Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum) is fast, laden with tremolo picking and screamed vocals, etc.. Nothing like To Mega Therion.

Again, what makes To Mega Therion black metal? Kameejl ^(Talk) 15:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a point, most people are quite in a agreement on the fact that Venom's "Black Metal" isn't black metal, but rather, thrash. Anyway, I agree with Kameejl, I have never seen how this album could be considered anything but thrash metal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.30.44.124 (talk) 16:11, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Giger artwork[edit]

The cover art is Giger's painting nº 324, titled Satan I. It was originally was featured on Giger's Necronomicon (1977) art book, on page 74. I'll put this info later on the main article. Musicaindustrial (talk) 12:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Death metal?[edit]

I was wondering if this album is death metal? It sounds like early death metal (Possessed and such). Or would this style be found in the mixture of Avant-garde metal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.102.235.239 (talk) 03:49, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Expansions?[edit]

Hey.

I feel like the article needs to be expanded when it comes to album and band itself. Especially one that is as influential. Just a thought 76.174.128.213 (talk) 06:02, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
