Death metal: Old or new?

[dEaThToFaLsEmEtAl34]

What do you guys like better? Old school death metal or new school death metal? I definitely say old school. I can't get into the whole overly technical crap in new death metal.

 

[skeptik]

New Death Metal sucks unless it's in the old school vein.

 

[dEaThToFaLsEmEtAl34]

You should check out anything on razorback records if you haven't already. Kickass old-school sounding death/thrash metal.

 

[Hammer of Might]

OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD. OLD.

So blatantly.

i like it all

 

[COBHC420X]

i like it all

Depends for me.

 

[CF87]

Oldschool.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Some of both

 

[hibernal_dream]

Both styles can be good and both can suck. I'll listen to whichever band writes better music. Of course there are better old school bands, there have simply been more of them. Old school took a few years to refine itself so I think the musically more complicated newer style will take a while to get on the right track.

 

[Spirit In Black]

old there are only a few new bands that are worth the time....arghoslent for one

 

[Life Sucks]

Yes, Arghoslent are at the very top as far as "new school" bands go. Same goes for The Chasm.

 

[Nico]

Ye olde.

 

[Life Sucks]

I generally like old school death metal better than new death metal, but I also definitely like death metal and black metal better than trad metal. So I'm not an all round old school purist.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Old School Death Metal without a doubt, though there's good new stuff also.

 

[Mort Divine]

Both old and new can be all fine and well with me, though I do prefer bands like Gorod, Spawn of Possession, Psycroptic, Gory Blister, Stargazer, etc.

 

[Mercy/Severity]

Some of both for me as well. Depends on the band really

 

[swizzlenuts]

Old>New, mianly because there are so many bands out there that are just playing like Cannibal Corpse.. just to be heavy and annoying....they lack emotion, which 99% of old school death metal captures.

 

[genocide roach]

both. it depends on the mood and alcohol intake. the more alcohol, the older the music.
~gR~

 

[Impudent]

Old, though I enjoy some new bands.

 

[Carcassian]

I think you know where I stand on this issue.
