You can't compare At the Gates with Immolation.
They're both great, but too different. Besides, comparing bands is for n00bs.

I find that American metal is more straightforward, pounding, and rythmic, which is what I like. European death metal, especially Swedish, while by no means bad, often uses more melody, which I find doesn't work as well rythm on many occasions.
Just my thoughts
DarkBliss said:I haven't listened much to Deicide to really comment on that. There is a simpler explanation: he just wants to have as little in common as possible with the transexual peacocks who post "you know where" and their musical preferences, for fear of becoming one himself. I, personally, can understand him, but regardless of those individuals' silly condescending attitudes, the majority of bands assembled in their database do rule

The Greys said:There are swedish death metal bands without melody. You are not looking past the first row. Wombbath for example with their release of Internal Caustic Torments in 1993 was making brutal death metal before shitty texan rednecks like devourment(no offense), and do it a lot more tastefully in a unique and original way.
Grave 'into the grave' and 'you'll never see' for example have no melody and are some of the first brutal death metal albums. Unleashed 'where no life dwells' has no melody and is based on basic rythmic brutality.
Carnage 'dark recollections', entombed 'left hand path'. Fleshcrawl 'descend into thr absurd', Gorefest 'mindloss' 'false'.
Demigod-slumber of sullen eyes,Funebre-children of the scorn.
Sentenced-shadows of the past. Besides the melody in the first song this
album is all simple crushing mutting and rythmnic and it's from 1992. America might have started DM but their brutal death metal is late and second rate
The early 90's euro death metal is more brutal crushing and heavy than american bands around the sametime.
I'm probably missing albums also.

Hmm. I think many of these shit bands you are talking about (Severed Savior, Decrepit Birth, Vile, etc.) actually have good production, bit the music just sucks.The Greys said:Newer american brutal death metal albums have the most horrible low budget productions also. I really doubt there is a semi big label in the US to give bands decent budgets. It seems to me bands don't care about gear nor do producers care about getting a band some decent sound. US DM after 93 is pretty much dead imo.
