No, the title track is godly, but Here in After is probably my favourite Immolation. However, I listen to the debut the most because the riffs and rhythms are less weird and jarring than their following couple of releases.

I know his vocals are layered but the way they made him sound like a howling fucking demon on the self titled album has stuck with me as a favorite death vocal performance. I find it odd all the Obituary talk without any trash talking yet.

with so many variations and opinions, 'ya can't really be absolute except to say all Heavy Metal frees the mind and body from the toxins we are inundated by every fucking waking hour.....Scarlet rocks on these vids and Black Light Syndrome too bitcheshttps://sexanddrugsandrock-n-roll.blogspot.com/

Close to a World Below is top-tier death metal. Keep listening until it clicks.

If only the rest of Close was as good as the first two tracks then it might be number one. Unfortunately, it's not. The title track is amazing but the ones before that are snorefest. The rest of their discography barely even compares.

Remind me again why the fuck there is a sub genre of death metal called brutal death metal? I mean I tried listening to Suffocation and it doesn't sound anymore brutal than regular death metal so the name seems rather misleading.

Yeah, I've heard some brutal death metal that is virtually indistinguishable from normal death metal, aside from lower-tuned guitars and deeper/gurglier vocals. Death metal's alleged diversity is kind of a joke tbh.
I gave it a listen recently and was disappointed at how safe it sounds these days. Too much ultra-pedestrian Bay Area riffing, especially during many of the verses, even though they'll often manage to throw in a neat bridge or a cool idea in all of the songs. As I've become more and more accustomed to demo production, I don't even hear it as an early death metal release anymore.

Suffocation is brutal death metal but also osdm so they don't sound so far gone. (I wouldn't even call their newer releases bdm at this point) Go listen to Guttural Secrete, Gorgasm, Torsofuck or Devourment. If those aren't different enough for you than plain death metal I feel like you may need your hearing checked.

This song is pretty different from what I remember about them. It's enjoyable, I like it.

Glad someone checked that out... too many people associate CC with the sound on The Bleeding and Tomb of the Mutilated, which is fun but superficial. After Pat O'Brien joined the band they evolved into a different beast, and albums like Kill exemplify what modern death metal should sound like IMO.

Think I'm going to make a top 20 of my favorite death metal albums but I'm debating on using comps and demos.

I always feel like people just try to outkvlt each other when they include demos and eps in those lists. Seriously bro this 7 minute demo by a band that never recorded a full length and existed for three weeks in 1990 is the greatest death metal ever released.
No, it's not.

So because a band never released a full length, it automatically means that their demos/EPs that they did record can't be considered some of the best works within whatever genre they were in? Seems illogical to me. Not that I've ever seen a list where the number 1 is a 7 minute demo.
I can't think of many demos that regularly make best of lists at the minute, except Rippikoulu's Musta Seremonia, which I have no problem with someone listing, and I wouldn't consider them trying to be kvlt.

Musta is full length sized. And no I don't think you can consider something incredibly short the best in a genre because it never really came full fruition.
Maybe I'm being biased because I get on NWN too much and those goofy opinions are more apt to run wild there.

Yeah, only thing I can think of that might come close is Goreaphobia's Vile Beast of Abomination. I tend to agree that the chances are a demo/comp inclusion would be for kvlt/individuality points rather than because it actually deserved to be there.

Actually scratch that, Timeghoul's Panaramic Twilight might well be worthy of a top twenty position.
