Political music can be nice though.

Why does politics matter in death metal? It doesn't matter in black metal for the most part unless you're gung ho about reading lyric sheets. I honestly don't know who either of those bands are tbh.

Slayer - Show No Mercy Metallica - Kill Em All Megadeth - Killing Is My Business Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare Arkangel - Dead Man Walking Dark Angel - Time Does not Heal Anthrax - Spreading the Disease Exodus - Bonded by Blood Cryptopsy - None So Vile Death - Human Thought Patterns Morbid Angel...

I already posted this in the Op but god damn is this the most entrancing death metal song I've heard in... years? At least since I finally realized that None So Vile was possibly the best death metal album ever and "Slit Your Guts" was the epitome of hailstorm barbarity. Human Rejection's...

I thought I made that clear in the OP.

That's actually the video that got me interested in slam.

Than Atheist? Yes. I like Atheist, but yes. Gorguts? Yeah. Death? Early Death and Mantas and shit was pretty death metal but around Spiritual Healing and after, yeah. And Spiritual Healing and Individual Thought Patterns are my fave Death albums but that's because Chuck molested death metal with...

Yeah actually scratch that. It's been a while since I listened to early BMtH and it's not doing much for me these days.

Kinda getting the urge to check for a deathcore thread now. It's not the greatest genre but it's definitely got gems. Even Bring Me the Horizon's first EP and full length please me.

Oh hells yeah I have. I bought their first album based on a funny review and their awesome name alone. They're not brilliant but they definitely are vastly savage and crazy.

Hells yeah. Have to plug Ted Maul, a band nobody seems to know but had one single album that is the best deathcore album ever.

Death metal is supposed to be brutal and ugly. Tech death often ignores this for slickness with ugliness being a lazy afterthought. Fuck. That. Slam death metal is just ugly and insists upon its ugliness even at the expense of being musical at times. That's exactly what death metal should be.

I like me SOME deathcore tbh even if there's a lot of garbage. But slam predates deathcore by quite a number of years. I do like how it seems to piss off many of the same death metal fans as deathcore though and shares many influences. The conflagration of death metal and hardcore in slam is...

As far as I can tell slam is pretty opposed to tech death in the same way early Norwegian black metal is opposed to 90s death metal. It's a genre that gives the finger to slickness and complexity and is only concerned with immediacy. Fucking Cephalotripsy and shit. What the fuck does Devourment...

Widdly diddly and on occasion brutal when they can be bothered to remember they're a death metal band.
