Death Metal

[CF87]

Incantation(first three). Dead Congregation remind me of older US DM albums.

 

[Lateralus14]

Well there's those elements but they also have a dark atmosphere you don't get with most death metal.

 

[no country for old wainds]

most good death metal is extremely dark.

 

[CF87]

Cause of Death is absolute greatness, James Murphy's on there, how can it be anything other than great? Hmmmmm death metal you say?

Bloodbath
Necrophagist
Obscura

If James Murphy actually wrote the riffs the album might not suck so much ass. check out Disincarnate

 

[CF87]

I'm sick of waiting for Revolting `bonesaw leftovers to come out(fucking bullshit).

Any good DM albums come out recently ?

Yeah, very obvious Immolation influence on GOTA, which is probably partially why I don't like it as much as most people; not the biggest Immo fan as most people here probably know. To me, GOTA is good and has a definitely excellent aesthetic, but I can't seem to actually enjoy listening to it.

not even the last song?

'tis a damn good album i think, and i'm not the biggest immolation fan either.

Most death metal I have is only some downtuned, more technical form of thrash with some occasional dissonant stuff thrown in. I suppose it's dark in general but very rarely does said "darkness" compare to anything by a decent black metal band or death/funeral doom band. Graves of the Archangels seems to be one of those exceptions though admittedly I'm still a total noob and haven't thoroughly checked out Immolation/Incantation yet.

I mean I think most people would consider bands like Morbid Angel, Carcass, Suffocation, Nile, Gorguts, Atheist, or Demilich to be "good" death metal, yet I don't consider any of them to be dark relative to other extreme metal genres.

If you want some seriously dark death metal, look no further than:

 

[Manic Ferocity]

At times, I even prefer it to The Karelian Isthmus.

 

[Blind Guardian]

I definitely prefer it. Only an EP but still.

 

[The Ozzman]

It's above average, but that's about it

 

[Koude Haat]

Belial - Wisdom of Darkness, is still one of my favorites when it comes to dark death metal.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Awesome album but I slightly prefer The Gods of the Pit pt. II (Paragon So Below).

Claws

`Casket Contagion'

can't wait for this

prefere The Karelian Isthmus because of Sign From The Northside,The Lost Name of God, and Warriors Trial.

 

[no country for old wainds]

I definitely prefer it.

yeah. the karelian isthmus lacks real momentum and bite.

there's loads of very dark death metal. best stuff by amorphis immolation, incantation, infester, necrophobic, cartilage, etc stands out as obvious examples, but there's tons.

If you want some seriously dark death metal, look no further than:

Awesome EP.

Just picked this up. It owns.

I thought Amorphis is pretty far from death metal. Did they have a different sound in the early part of their discography?
