Best "First Two Albums" Of Death Metal?

[Bathoryswans]

Funny. The first two Death albums arw the only ones I really love. Actually I haven't even listened to the last two Death albums yet because the direction of the band really didn't peek my interest. I don't know, Spiritual Healing, Human and Induviudal Thought Patterns are technically good albums, but a little emotionally stale, especially in contrast the visceral force of Leprosy.

I need to listen to all the death album again or at least the first six but I think I might agree the first two are my favorite maybe. Idk I was listening to Individual thought patterns and I can't get into it like I would even though it is well done album and I enjoy it but hey I'm weird with death metal. I generally don't listen to more than one album from a death metal band and I generally have to be in the mood for it (Carcass is an exception). That said in interested in listening through the first 6 Death albums again but would it be wrong if I end up liking Leprosy the most?

I wouldn't mind covering a few more death metal classics that I've overlooked. Here's what I've heard from the above list.

Love: Incantation

Like: Autopsy, Cyrptopsy, Immolation, Suffocation, Therion

Luke warm: At the Gates, Morbid Angel (I know, I know...), Sepultura

Other DM acts I love are Dismember (Like an Everflowing Stream), Nocturnus (The Key), Demiliche, Demigod and the first two Death records.

So what from the above list am I missing out on?

 

[Spiderchrist]

Morbid Angel, obviously.

Have you listened to Carcass? Their three middle albums are all masterpieces( I like the first and the last also). My favorite album by them is Symphonies of sickness. They were pretty versitile. Also Atheist and Deicide damn good too.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Thanks for the recs guys. Gave Legions and Piece of Time a listen today. Both were positive first impressions, especially the Atheist record. I'll probably give Symphonies of Sickness a listen tomorrow.

Symphonies never gets old completely brutal and disgusting.

Wait, where is Malevolent Creation? That would've had my vote if it had been listed.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Where the fuck is Cannibal Corpse's first two?

 

[Avigrus]

Incantation > Morbid Angel > At the Gates > Autopsy

My top 4 from teh above list.

 

[End of Glory]

Gave my vote to Suffocation. Those 2 albums are perfect in my ears.

 

[Lateralus14]

Where the fuck is Cannibal Corpse's first two?

Good lord, what a shitty band...are you seriously asking me this?

I included Entombed, whom I don't care for. What more do you want?

Shitty...?

Oh well... Vital Remains would have been nice to have on the list.

 

[Vamos]

Meh, Cannibal Corpse is atrocious

 

[End of Glory]

Meh, Cannibal Corpse is atrocious

Meh, I can agree on that they are "mainstream" in the Death Metal community but I still think their music is great. Nothing wrong with Tomb of the Mutilated but I would still say George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher > Chris Barnes.

 

[The Ozzman]

We're also missing Obituary in the poll

Seriously? I couldn't give a shit about Entombed tbh. But to say that Cannibal Corpse's Eaten Back To Life and Butchered at Birth shouldn't even be considered on the list is ludicrous.

 

[Krow]

Of course cannibal corpse should be on the poll. It amazes me there's two votes for therion and no one gives a fuck about necrophobic's second album, hell even unleashed is second class, no way those two should be on the poll.

 

[Lateralus14]

Unleashed is second class, but is still much better than Cannibal Corpse.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... lol, no they're not. Cannibal Corpse definitely belong on this list.

Garbage like Therion shouldnt be on here when bands like Death, Gorguts , Dismember and CC are missing.
