Death Metal

[theflyingmachine]

I've seen a lot of mentions of Dead Congregation on this forum. I've only heard the full-length, which is pretty good. Is the EP better or worse than the full-length?

On a semi-related note, just heard the Beneath the Columns album from Funebrarum. Didn't expect too much from it, but I am liking it quite a bit.

I've heard some people say that the EP has better songs but the album is better overall, though I'd say that that the album wins on both counts. It's still definitely worth a listen though.

Not sure if they just put on a bad show or you are mistaken, but I saw Devourment a couple of years ago and they were fucking sick. I'm not as big on Devourment as most fans of slam and brutal death metal, but seeing them live was fucking cool.

It's just bad death metal. boring and bad riffing

You like Fleshgod. Your opinion is irrelevant.

Lol jk Defeated Sanity is gay.

Dead Congregation's EP is good, the full lenght is fucking great. It's worth checking it.

Funebrarum =

People love Dead Congregation around. They are decent, not all that special. Just not a fan of that stuff

 

[theflyingmachine]

When I first checked out the tracks from their myspace page, I liked the ones from the EP a little better, but heard a little more positive feedback from the full-length, so I checked that out instead. I thought it was good, but should give it another listen before saying whether it is great or just decent. But, I'll definitely go with WCannibal's rec and give the EP a listen.

Krigloch, I'm out of Champaign btw.

Is Echoes of Decimation from Origin worth checking out? so far iv only heard Antithesis from Origin and think its alright.

 

[theflyingmachine]

Echoes is their best release in my opinion. I'd highly recommend it.

 

[Mentok]

Yeah, I pretty much enjoy Echoes the best also. Antithesis has a somewhat different sound than their other releases though, so you may want to be wary before hauling off and purchasing their whole back catalog expecting that.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

cool thanks, will have to check it out.

New Blaspherian song, for those interested.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, I heard that on NWN. Sounded really cool, looking forward to it.

Recently rediscovered my love for Runemagick. That shit gets me pumped.

 

[sevag00]

^yeah. I recently discovered the band and im loving those guys.

^ Great to see them praised, I really love the band. They're so underrated imo.

Japanese/Korean DM festival coming up on Saturday. Really excited to see Dehorn, Serpent and Hydrophobia again, as well as all the other bands. The venue has barricades on the floor which means either no moshing whatsoever (which is fine with me) - or people getting crushed.

I think they were unfortunate in arriving very late on the scene. If they had released The Supreme Force of Eternity or Enter the Realm of Death in 1993, they would be regarded as legends. Personally I listen to those albums more than many comparable early 90s albums like say, Slumber of Sullen Eyes. Their stuff is not original but it is flawlessly executed.

Agreed. There's a certain brilliance about The Supreme Force of Eternity that I can't quite put my finger on. It seems like simple death metal, but it has this dark, mystical atmosphere surrounding it which I can only attribute to Rudolfsson's time in bands like Sacramentum and early Swordmaster. It's up there with the best from At the Gates, Necrophobic, Dismember, Therion and Merciless in my eyes.

^ It's borderline Blackened Death in my opinion, as are the bands you compared them to.
