Death Metal

[skeptik]

The butchered all of the album covers.

 

[CF87]

I hate reissues and will never buy one again.

 

[DarkBliss]

Reissues of OSDM albums especially are relatvely poor, I concur but I'm not gonna squander five times more on an original.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah that Soulburn album is awesome, so is On The Wings of Inferno which I've been championing for a couple years as a sleeper hit for Asphyx, though I've never really heard any negative opinions on it...just tends to get overlooked.

 

[CF87]

Any cool new DM cds come out recently ?

 

[Koude Haat]

Infinitum Obscure - Sub Atris Caelis
Ascended - Temple of Dark Offerings
Morbider - When Darkness Returns
Lie in Ruins - Swallowed By The Void
Affliction Gate - Aeon of Nox

What's the opinion on Dismember here? Been investigating some swedish DM lately and just got hold of their first album, its fucking immense! Am interested in anything in a similar style to this.

From the albums thread:

Amazing album. Have you heard Intestine Baalism?

edit: Am checking their myspace and its pretty good, the vocals are a bit lacking for me but the music is nice.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Like an Ever Flowing Stream is definitely one of the best records ever, and I like pretty much everything else they've done.

Try God Macabre's The Winterlong.

Intestine Baalism rules.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Try God Macabre's The Winterlong.

Seconded.

Also, assuming you're not familiar with the classics:

Entombed - Left Hand Path
Unleashed - Where no Life Dwells
Grave - Into the Grave
Therion - Beyond Sanctorum
Necrophobic - The Nocturnal Silence
Cemetary - An Evil Shade of Grey

 

[Inso]

Thanks guys, will get onto checking these out ASAP.

Only been investigating death metal properly recently, only knew a couple of bands before, got a lot to keep me busy here. Don't like a lot of the newer more brutal death stuff, but the old school bands are very appealing so far.

 

[DarkBliss]

The Nocturnal Silence rules. Hope you'll have as much fun as I did upon discovering it.

 

[Blind Guardian]

While you're at it you should also get their EP The Call.

 

[Inso]

Just remembered I've listened to that (nocturnal silence) before actually and liked the first few tracks but didn't listen to the whole thing, then promptly forgot about it. Will wack it on for a full listen in a bit.

 

[Badbird]

Six Feet Under is fucking terrible.Chris Barnes should stay away from doing death metal vocals.I know I am not the only one who thinks they suck.

 

[divine_torture]

I actually agree with you, Randy.

 

[Anticitizen One]

I kinda doubt I'd care much for it anymore, but back in the day I enjoyed the first SFU album for Allen West's riffs & solos. Nothing beyond that, though...

 

[Badbird]

I actually agree with you, Randy.

Great!I think SFU are the worst metal band I have heard so far.

 

[sevag00]

I enjoy Six Feet Under from time to time.

SFU has a couple of albums that aren't all bad.

Anyways, I've seen a couple people talking about Cemetery, but when I went on metal-archives to search, there were about 20 bands with the same name. Is there a certain album by them to look for, or where are they from?

I checked the Cemetery band and four of those bands that are named Cemetery are death metal.It tough to know which one your talking about.
