If we were all gay human race would die off. They also spread diseases and health care costs go up.

Uh-huh and heterosexuality means over-population.

What a ridiculous thing to say.  What we need to do is abolish modern medicine so that we can all die and keep the population down the way nature intended.

Pretty sure God intented to populate the earth.

Yes, so that he could drive us to extinction out of the sheer malice he feels for us all.

not to mention, the culture of 4chan is built in such a way where any time you express dislike for literally anything, it doesn't really matter how good your reasons are, because the community at large is going to triple down on you by shoving what you hate into your face even more, just because it's funny, and they're not interested in whoever the fuck you are

so you can try to fight the hydra that is 4chan i guess but you just have to be aware that it's the biggest lost cause of all time and that you'd be better off doing literally anything else

why do you think i don't use it, it's the worst website to use

Get this HOTHEAD outta here hahahaha

I'm already hung, thanks.

Hung like a hare you cocksucking neanderthal.

Skip the rest, listen to this and call it a day. Eat shit also.

help me understand what i'm supposed to be listening for when it comes to this style of music

what separates the good extreme metal albums from the bad ones

because to me they mostly blend together and i could theoretically enjoy any of them if i were in the right mood, but i would never really be able to tell you if what i'm listening to is "good" beyond my own limited standards and sensibilities

Good songwriting and engaging, unique riffs are paramount for me.  Repetitive song structures that amount to what is essentially a poppy verse-chorus-verse-chorus composition neuter everything the song had going for it to begin with, if it even had anything.  Repetition is a wonderful tool when used in a bleak or hypnotic manner like you'll find in the band Mgla, but if your entire song is ABABAB I lose interest in whatever it is you're trying to say.  "Cool" and unique riffs are pretty subjective, but I think the bottom line is a riff shouldn't be nauseatingly derivative and it shouldn't be so limp wristed that the song loses its momentum. 

On Panzerfaust, Darkthrone pulls a ton of influence from Celtic Frost.  For an example, here's Fenriz, one half of the brain behind Darkthrone, describing what makes Celtic Frost so great.

It's hard to accurately describe what makes a riff *good*, but part of what Fenriz is trying to get across here is Tom G. Warrior's use of intense chromaticism to the point where the riffs start to sound out of key and therefore "wrong," but played with enough confidence that you begin to buy what he's saying.  Some of the riffs are almost nauseating, for lack of a better term, like on the track Procreation of the Wicked.  The rest is difficult to describe and it's something you just have to hear. 

Panzerfaust is still a Black Metal album from the Helvete Norwegian scene so of course it has those tremolo picked atmospheric riffs which thrive on repetition and melody.  Just like any other riff, it's hard to describe exactly what makes them great, but for me the riffs on Panzerfaust (and all early Darkthrone albums) call to mind the harsh, cold wind and snow stinging the skin and making life miserable for all but the most resilient peoples.  Under more genial conditions the melodies are pleasant, albeit somewhat dark; bolstered by the incessant, pounding drums and the inaccessible distortion and production it becomes violent and ugly.  Paramount for me is how well the album illustrates its imagery.  Sometimes there are clear cut ways of going about this, but for the most part you just have to listen to the kings of their respective genres and learn to hear what makes them great.  The rules of one genre or style don't apply to all styles or genres, and sometimes they don't even apply to albums in that genre or style.  With this style of Black Metal they took a lot of inspiration from nature itself in the same way that bands like Godflesh took inspiration from industrial environments and the sounds they produce, and it's clear when you listen to them.

EDIT:  Something else that didn't come to mind when I wrote this is cohesive songwriting achieved by tying together riffs and melodies in logical and interesting ways.  Playing a riff with a distinct phrasing and tonal center and subsequently playing a riff that is entirely dissimilar from it is referred to as "riff salad."  It comes across as extremely amateur and leaves you unfulfilled.  It's like someone stopping mid-sentence and changing the subject entirely.
