I very much dig Dimmu, but just so you know, it's very popular to hate the band these days. Metal fans can be some of most trendy sheep anywhere in the world of music fandom, after all.

I have never gotten into this genre of music, but why do people hate Dimmu Borgir?

The thing I don't like about metal is all the different categories and sub-categories.

I liked Maiden when I was 10 years old mainly due to their awesome album covers, and then I liked Slayer's Reign in Blood because liking Slayer would scare the hell out of a nun at my school.

Sure it's LA pop metal, but the songwriting has always been very strong (especially when Crosby was alive and him and Juan were in the group), and the playing is VERY good. Uh, Warren DeMartini. Need I say more?

I particularly like "At the heart of winter", everyone was amazed when it was released.

Idiots dislike Dimmu Borgir because they make a commercialized version of Black Metal, which is one of the most underground styles of music in the world. Alot of black metal fans are obsessed with upholding a dark and kvlt image for their music. Sometimes shitty production and simple repetitive songs are seen as more "true" than the complex symphonic stuff Dimmu plays.

As someone said, despite the complexity and brilliance of their music, people will still find it trendy to dislike them.

The reason a lot of serious metal heads dislike Dimmu Borgir as they also dislike slipknot it due to the fact they these bands commercialize them-self until you puke blood.
Never bothered me, I listened to them and I don't like it, its hard to put your finger at it but I think it sounds fake to me, like they are trying to hard - The black Dalia murder is another band that tries to hard.
You listen to bands like Dying Fetus - Vital Remains - or some of the good polish death metal you can hear the difference.
And there are bands out there that were amazingly successful for death metal at least and they still remain true to their fans and their music, Cannibal Corpse would be one of them but Dying Fetus have also been in the game for a long time (with the occasional band member change lol)
I don't think its hard at all to spot the poser bands these days, if the bands consists of 4 prettyish looking guys tattoos all over nose ring and skinny jeans with a name like murder for breakfast or there will be blood you know its a poser band, and with a poser band I mean a band that is primary formed to fulfill the fantasy of 14 - 16 year olds.

If you want to be updated about the greatest this is a very good webpage - http://angrierchairs.blogspot.com/
He gets tons of demo tapes all around the world and I always download and listen to them sometimes only once sometimes I even like them.

I have problem with all sub-genres as well- I don't understand most of it, grindcore, hardcore, porncore, gringporn death meatal blackend death metal fuck all that shit, if it sounds good I listen to it.

The band name that I had for my rock band that is yet to be fully formed (I came up with this name when I was 14 or 15) is Stillborn.

This was at the beginning of the grunge era, and while I liked STP, I did not like all of the whiney bullshit that came with grunge.

I wanted to rock.

Further, even back in my early teens, I felt that my country was on a downward spiral that the "adults" were purposely ignoring or just did not see. I felt and still feel that while children are being born every day, they are not being given the same opportunity that my parents' generation had, because of guilt trip liberals focusing on the low IQ students, instead of focusing on the "cream of the crop".

In essence, because of how stifled our youth will be, they are stillborn.

I still have the lyrics from one of my first full songs, it was called "Born to Death". Lots of angst, nothing Satanic, no racist, but more than likely to be perceived as anti-liberal government. My goal was to often wear a mask of Ronald Reagan, as he was and is a hero of mine.

Stark - Angry Chairs is a great blog to find good metal! Good dudes.

I have a metal blog called The Living Doorway (linked to them) that delves into death/black/grind metal (amongst other things), if anyone is interested.

My favorite death metal bands IMO...in no particular order...some of these would be kind of a mixture of death metal, thrash and grindcore

Inflames
Arch Enemy (with Gosow on vocals)
Children of Bodom
Lamb of God
Divine Heresy
The Agony Scene
Mnemic
Nothing Face
Scar Symetry

Favorite two metal bands of all time though...

Metallica and Pantera....some of the Testament albums are pretty hard to beat too IMO.

You might want to check Fear Factory's last album if you haven't done so already (released in 2010).
The best thing they've done since Demanufacture
