Lately, I've been pretty unimpressed with Death Metal's potential for musical expression. With the exception of a few bands, "quality death metal" strikes me as pretty dry and stagnant, and I can't listen to it for more than 5 minutes without getting bored.
I'm also increasingly bored by death metal. Even some of the classic tech-death releases (especially Human and Syzygial Miscreancy) sound less interesting/technical with every listen, the straight-forward stuff has gotten really monotonous for me, and I enjoy very little of death metal's development beyond the mid-90's. I still have favorites that I love, but even OSDM is something I find myself being able to do without for the most part. Oddly enough however, while I used to never care much for Deicide, their first two are really starting to click with me.
I just wish there were more bands like Demilich and Gorguts. They had the right idea for groovophiles like me with ADD.
No, you are right, I see the error of my ways. I just can't stand Barnesy, even going into my 13th year of owning Corpse pressings. I never developed that love, I suppose suicide is always an option.. Thus said there isn't any albums guitar work that I find inconsistent.
Immortal fucking suck. There's my controversial metal opinion.
