Death Metal

[waif]

It's really ill for mid-tempo death metal with mad atmosphere. Which is why Celtic Frost is so awesome.

 

[C.J.W.Wyatt]

If you guys want heavy, Celtic Frost type riffing, check out Cianide. I own a 'Descent Into Hell' and it's heavy as hell. No pun intended.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I second that. Cianide rules.

Checking them out...sounds good. Very Celtic Frost-y guitar tone. Damn good. Will need to get Descent Into Hell. Thanks.

I'm not a fan of palm muting. It's like a cannon-shot to the wall of sound that keeps me engaged in the music.

Not really. (referring to the "cannon-shot" statement) If you dislike palm muting, I can see why you dislike brutal death, and why you like black metal better than death metal.

Fuck yes. They have a perfect catalogue imo.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

The Dying Truth is their best

Thats whats great about death and black metal. I love em both.
but it seems that black metal has more variety of awesomeness.

 

[Cythraul]

I remember when Krig hated black metal. Ahhh, memories...

I love palm muting. It's so satisfying

I couldnt get past the production. but when I found Thyrfing and Moonsorrow it kinda helped

 

[Hallucinations]

I love palm muting. It's an essential part and defining element of death metal and thrash. Of course, it's pointless to play every single note muted, but lots of palm muting is a good thing. On a different, yet related note, has anyone else noticed that black metal generally has very very little palm muting, and a lot of it has none at all?

I think Mayhem used their fair share of palm-muting on Deathcrush but that wasn't so much black metal as Bathory styled thrash.

Palm-muting doesn't bode well with black metal music. Simple as that Doesn't create much of an atmosphere for spooky lyrics to be gurgled.

I second that. Cianide rules.

I third that.

Other bands that take Celtic Frost riffs and mangle them:

Scepter
Usurper
Early Obituary
Demo material Thee Plague of Gentlemen

Anyone else getting excited for the Order From Chaos re-issues by NWN Prod!? I know I am.

Me too. I think palm muting acually makes music heavy. A low powerchord played muted on a downtuned guitar is as heavy as fuck. This goes beyond brutal death; it's also what makes bands like Asphyx so heavy.

Which ones are the re-issuing because I already have Stillbirth Machine (one of my favorite albums ever) and Crushed Infamy.

 

[~Derek~]

Palm muting was basically the thing that got me into Metal.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

for Celtic Frost esque death metal everyone needs to hear Divine Eve and Crimson Relic

I second this!

Yes! Fucking totally, I need Stillbirth Machine on fucking vinyl! Saw those last night...getting the God Macabre + some other CDs (incl. Nocturnal Graves per you, Nec, and phr33k's recommendation, plus my own Myspace sampling) soon also. NWN is kicking ass this year.
