Blackened Death Metal

[Jreg]

(Not to derail thread, apologies in advance) .. God I can't stand Blackened Death Metal. Too accessible, and a compromise of what Black Metal is really about. Not my cup of tea at all - however, I did enjoy Behemoth when they came here, and would see them again (yet I can't stand their recorded material).

Because heaven forbid pure black metal ever gets tampered with.

Goatwhore and Dissection are two of my favorites.

I really like this style of metal because it blends two brutal genres together.

 

[Scourge of God]

shitty pro-tools production? behemoth has flawless production

Behemoth has the same cookie cutter digital production that every Pro Tooled band has.

again, I don't hear that at all. They have a similar sound to Vader, but that's about it

And what has the knock on Vader always been? Oh yeah -"Morbid Angel Clone." Imagine that...

Do you mind not perpetuating this dumb argument?

Vader are gods. don't fuck with Vader.

 

[Astrum]

Dissection triumphs over all, period.

But other than that some good bands are V:28, Behemoth, Tristwood, Destinity, etc.

This genre has a large percentage of shit bands, though. Not a good genre as a whole.

With behemoth, other then there old black metal releases and there "corpse paint" i dont get a real black metal sound or feel from from them

 

[Life Sucks]

I wouldn't say Behemoth after Satanica is blackened death metal, particularly the last two. I like a lot of blackened death:

Arghoslent
Angel Corpse
Anwyl
Hacavitz
Belphegor (I don't see why they are so widely disliked)
Desaster
Grom
Ravager
Destroyer 666 (they are NOT thrash)
Abominator

and much more

God Dethroned, very good band. Zyklon as well. Goatwhore's decent.

 

[~Derek~]

Belphegor is very good as well, what I've heard from the new Pestacolypse album has been very good.

Most of what is generally considered "blackened death metal" is dogshit. However, you also have bands like Angelcorpse, Death Yell, and a couple of others that are good. And there are plenty of others that wouldn't be completely off to be put into that category, like Mortem, Pentacle, Necroccultus, and a lot of the Brazilian scene like Holocausto.

Most of what is generally considered "blackened death metal" is dogshit.

Why is that? Or rather, why do you think that? I personally think that black metal and death metal can be mixed very well, with great results.

 

[skeptik]

Because I think the bands that most people are talking about when they say "blackened death metal" suck.

 

[Life Sucks]

Because I think the bands that most people are talking about when they say "blackened death metal" suck.

Uh. I was looking more for an explanation of why you think the music sucks.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I haven't heard any blackened death that really impressed me. I'm not a big fan of Zyklon, and I'm one of the few people who doesn't like any Dissection. Bands like God Dethroned don't interest me much either.

even Dissection and Forest Of Impaled?

 

[challenge_everything]

Melechesh fucking rule. Seamless blending of the two styles, amazing drumming, technical yet memorable riffs - love it.

 

[Life Sucks]

Shit, forgot about Forest of Impaled. They rule.

 

[Astrum]

To whoever mentioned Belphegor, no. Belphegor is absolutely terrible. Words can barely describe how shitty that band is. Scourage Of Malice and Dodens, I agree with you guys for the most part.

As I said, there are some good black/death bands but most are awful. You would think the two genres would mix better.

 

[Life Sucks]

I still don't understand why so many people think Belphegor suck. I'd much rather listen to Belphegor than a mediocre Transylvanian Hunger clone pure bm band.
