Best Death Metal Album EvAR!?!111

[Henrik Main]

none of you buttfuckedrs have even mentioned angel corpse.

I don't know how I was able to forget them, they're in my Top 10 list when it comes to DM. New record coming out in 2007, by the way, with John Longstreth on drums!

By the way Henrik Main, do you enjoy Crimson Massacre - Luster of Pandemonium?

I've never heard it, only heard of it (mainly praise). Old school death, I presume?

Not at all. Very technical death metal. Technical in a way creating an insane/evil/chaotic atmosphere.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

i lack this album...[In their darkened Shrines]

i'll add it to the List but considering i have all their other stuff it may be years before i get around to buying it my List is sooooo long jesus

You fagbat, get your ass to the music store and buy it!!! You're a pretty inept Nile fan if you don't have it.

Testimony of the Ancients is great. Maybe it will get my early death metal juices flowing again.

BLOOD RED FUCKING THRONE

I spent yesterday at work listening to every Morbid Angel album, in order. My conclusion? Domination is the best thing they've ever done, and Gateways and Heretic really suck. What the fuck is with the guitar tone on Heretic?

 

[lurch70]

not sure what people don't like about Heretic ... Beneath the Hollow and Stricken Arise are definetelly in my top 5 MA songs.

Sandoval is out of control on this disc ...

 

[Demilich]

I'm going with Asphyx, Possessed and Pestilence

 

[J.]

i need to hear Death's Human and a cannibal corpse album.

dont understand what's so special about Demilich

 

[Caelum Adustum]

i need to hear Death's Human

[J.]

[Reign in Acai]

Death - Individual Thought Patterns is prob my fav.

when i look at my death metal collection, most of it consists of european DM

Sweden - Amon Amarth, AtG, Dark Tranquillity, EoS, Eucharist, Grotesque, Hypocrisy, In Flames, Necrophobic, Opeth, Pan Thy Monium, Tiamat

Other European - Aeternus (?), AMorphis, Asphyx, Hollenthon, Lykathea Aflame (?), Carcass, Bolt Thrower, Pestilence, Darkthrone, Sentenced, and whatever Rudra is.

American - The CHasm (though they can be considered Mexican), Arghoslent, Nile

what band typifies the FLorida sound would you say? Death?

Not even close since they're not Floridian as far as I know??
Cannibal Corpse and the like, bands going for the "most brutal" award but also with a good few of them trying to score some points on "most technical" at the same time

Death was originally formed as Mantas by Chuck in Orlando, Florida. They did move to San Francisco pretty early on, though. EDIT: Just checked Wikipedia, they moved straight back to Florida again.

I always think of Obituary when I hear 'Florida death metal', but I suppose Malevolent Creation are more 'typical' of that scene.

Nah. The "most brutal" would probably be Texas, and "most technical" probably California/San Diego nowadays. The Florida scene is a lot more old school/thrashy and fairly less brutal than the rest of the US scenes, for instance the NYDM, TXDM or West Coast DM ones. Typical bands: Deicide, Malevolent Creation, Monstrosity, etc.

 

[MFJ]

wtf

 

[AsModEe]

the list lacks Melechesh - Sphinx

Truly one of my favorite DM albums of all time.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Malevolent Creation... I love that stuff!
good driving music
