Death Metal

[Sirjack]

yeah really. blastbeats weren't used in metal until 1989. up till then, it was strictly a hardcore punk/grind thing.

Your right.

The first use of blast beats is thought to originate with D.R.I's "No Sense" on their first LP (1983) and Beastie Boys "Riot Fight" on their first EP, Pollywog Stew (1982).

Indeed. I used to listen to them all the time, as they were one of the first extreme metal bands I had gotten into. I don't listen to them so much anymore, likely because I listened to them too much in the past. Abducted, Virus and the self-titled are excellent albums.

Their first two albums are more traditional death metal and I don't listen to them really. I find them generic and too much like the unappealing old-school Swedeath.

yeah virus is an outstanding album for fucking sure.yeah there older stuff is pretty genereic, but its still some of the first "swedeath",isnt it?

Not really. They debuted in 1992, and the Swedish Death Metal movement was already well underway. Penetralia is a good album, nonetheless. A nice combination of the ferocity of the US scene and the darkly melodic rhythms of the Stockholm sound.

Its hard to take porn death metal serious.

I can't take it serious either.

 

[Life Sucks]

I prefere 'the rack'. Have you heard Embrace The Death ?. Asphyx recorded the album with the old vocalist before The Rack and it was intended on being their debut album but the label did not want to release it because they did not feel the production was good enough. Great album. A lot of the music did make it on the rack but some solos,riffs, and harmonies are not and it's still different. Embrace The Death was not released until like 96,98 so I would not doubt if a lot of people think it's one of their newer releases when it's actually their first.

I'll have to check it out. I've been listening to Last One On Earth a lot lately.

I don't think that's the point.

But I agree. I enjoy a certain level of seriousness in my death/grind.

 

[The Ozzman]

Are we talking about the lyrics or the music here?

If it's the lyrics, I never take them seriously if they are in the vein of Cannibal Corpse.

If it's the music, I always take it seriously.

 

[Vitor]

Hypocrisy was a great band, but wtf is 'catch 22'???

This is not death metal... I guess this album should be a 'Pain' album and peter changed the band name

 

[Zephyrus]

Essentially. We can thank Pain for letting Peter purge his mainstream tendencies so Hypocrisy can stay somewhat underground and not sold-out.

 

[Vitor]

yeah, i agree... and i guess many others musicians should do it
