Brutal/Slam Death Metal

[Life Sucks]

I've liked HoP since before they released their second album. And like Nile, it seems that they get better with each successive album (which is rare). I immediately noticed a striking stylistic similarity to Nile the first time I heard them. And in the band photo that was on MA at one point, one of the dudes was even wearing a Nile shirt. Go figure. I'm surprised you never bothered to look into Nile enough to really form an opinion on them. They are great musicians, though the music is very generic. Have you ever heard Extreme Violence from Greece? The are similar to HoP and Inveracity (moreso than HoP).

ithyphallic was meh, annihalation was great, itds was also good

they are very standard dm, and occasionally boring, but they often remind me pleasantly of suffocation and the egypt gimmick is cute

also their drummer is pretty cool

Kollias ruled in Sickening Horror, that album was the fucking shit.

Meh, I like Origin. Something about the way they play. It's more than just blasturbation. I listen to them the same way I listen to Spastic Ink. It's a mental workout.

 

[Deathmetaljohn8189]

i dont know i really like origin despite the fact that they can get dull at times. They seem to try to be too techy and it over complicates their music into a blur of noise.

What the hells up with Necrophagist did they break up and just not say anything i havent heard about them in little over a year now

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

We should get back on the topic of brutal/slam death and off tech death now

 

[Life Sucks]

Origin is brutal death. Not all brutal death is slammy.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

New one is great, last one was pretty good, Insidious is fucking boring.

LS: I know, I was talking about Necrophagist.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I don't get why people like Waking the Cadaver. But Despised Icon are sick.

P.S. Deathcore and slam death have shit in common.

 

[cookiecutter]

They are fairly similar. Slam breakdowns tend to be groovier whereas deathcore ones are chunky. I can definitely understand why people like WtC. It's pretty accessible compared to other slam.

i didnt think wtc's older stuff was too bad

but their debut cd is definitly one of the worst things i've ever heard

 

[cookiecutter]

The CD is better than their old stuff and it's okay. Not really worth getting considering how much slam there is

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I'd put WTC on the same level as a band like Guttural Engorgement...decent but there's so much better slam that it's really just not worth it.

 

[vixTRON]

I think the only reason WTC is even remotely known by anyone is because of this:

I remember seeing that vid forever ago and it was the first time I had ever heard of them. I also remember checking their myspace back then, and all they had were their two demo songs and not much else. I don't think they were very well known at that time.

I think that vid is what probably turned all the lame ass br00tal kids onto WTC.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah, whatever.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

That song really is terrible though.

 

[vixTRON]

So is most of the shite that the br00tal kids listen to. See the connection?

 

[S<issors]

suffocation is way better than most of the stuff they inspired.

I love that sorta semi-bdm stuff like benighted and skinless, though, and wormed rules.

 

[Life Sucks]

I never bothered to check out Waking the Cadaver, because of all the negative things I've heard about them on here. It sounds like they're a bad slam band, from what people say. I find bad/mediocre slam to be boring, so I don't think I'll bother to check them out.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

You might want to listen to them just for the utter hilarity of how bad they are.
