Death Metal

[DarkBliss]

Hypocrisy are very accessible, I'd say. There isn't much not getting into there, it's all quite straightforward. Abducted was a gateway album for me into heavier death metal.

 

[Life Sucks]

Well, I can't get into them because the music seems watered down and tame; like mediocre melodeath or something. Their first two (or maybe three) albums are not like that, though. I prefer to listen to real death metal.

 

[DarkBliss]

You're talking in retrospect,i.e. compared to the classics, yea they're pretty vapid and predictable. I did not start my exploration of the genre with the classics, however. Sometimes I wish I had. Could've saved me a lot of cash.

 

[Death Aflame]

Why is The Rack so damned awesome?

 

[Life Sucks]

Because it is as heavy as fuck without being "brutal." I think I like "Last One on Earth" a tiny bit better. Both are great.

It's pretty much dead even for me, maybe slightly in favor of The Rack. But yeah, that's probably a good reason.

I'm getting really into Hypocrisy at the moment.

nice band, but after abducted they never were the same

There's little that is particularly amazing or great about them, but they're a damn good band and good to listen to while doing whatever.

You have to admit though, that Virus was a damn good album.

 

[DarkBliss]

Ender, listen to Unanimated. They're quite accessible and ear-friendly but with greater degree of depth in their music. Should last you longer than Hypocrisy.

It shall be done.

 

[Vitor]

i haven't listened to it yet

 

[combustion07]

Me neither.

 

[cookiecutter]

I have a nostalgic connection to Hypocrisy so I'm sure that adds a little something. Also they are melodic without using the Gothenburg riff which I loathe. I often use them as a warmup listen before I listen to Brutal death. The nonmetal songs they are also very good.

fuck i am loving aeon right now alot!. there albu dark order that i got is so fucking good.

 

[Day_Before_Dawn]

Is there any band in Death Metal these days progressing and pushing the boundaries that I should know about? Akin to Akercocke or something?

 

[The Ozzman]

I need to pick up some Akercocke. What should I start with?

 

[King Richard]

Words that go unspoken, deeds that go undone

 

[Ender Rises]

Thoughts on the new Behemoth album (The Apostasy)? I've only given it one listen so far but it seems a little lighter than their other stuff.
