10 essential death metal albums I MUST own!

[Pitiless Wanderer]

LOL! at The Crown being "essential".

Some of their early material is among the best death metal ever written, numb nuts.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Dechristianize is awful. The only two VR albums even worth one listen are Let us Pray and Into Cold Darkness, neither of which I would consider essential.

VR in general is very over rated.

Obviously everyone has a different concept of what's essential and after reading alot of this old, old thread, I doubt anyone will agree with all my choices. In any case these are the ones I think are essential to get a good overview of what Death Metal, in it's many varied forms, is all about:

Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick
Death - Human
Gorguts - Obscura
Amorphis - Tales of the Thousand Lakes
Deicide - Legion
Cynic - Focus
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Suffocation - Pierced from Within
Hypocrisy - Abducted
Carcass - Necrotisism

 

[Krow]

Autopsy - Severed Survival
Death - Human
Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos
Cannibal Corpse - Tomb of the Mutilated
Dismember - Like An Everflowing Stream
Deicide - Deicide
Immolation - Dawn of Possession
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten
Cancer - Death Shall Rise

These 10 albums are my essence of death metal.

What do you mean?

 

[Kara-Shehr]

It means i'll try to suggest some albums..........................what did you think I meant?

 

[Personified Hatred]

Nothing particular. I just didn't understand what "I'll give this a shot" meant. In scholastic English (the one I speak) it's a nonsense.

 

[Personified Hatred]

But hey, this thread was opened in 2003. Who is the asshole who has brought this thread up?

 

[Kara-Shehr]

Nothing particular. I just didn't understand what "I'll give this a shot" meant. In scholastic English (the one I speak) it's a nonsense.

It's just a figure of speech. I use alot of slang when I talk, which is something i'm trying to get rid of in my speech because it's starting to annoy even me.

Mostly the only problem is that people who aren't mother tongue could not understand. No criticisms, just an opinion.
