Death Metal

[CF87]

A gem that came out of a not particularly good DM scene.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

their ok, they changed their name to banished and made another album too ...

---------------------------------------------

greatest tech-death album of all time.

 

[VelociBrad]

Baphomet is good. so is Banished.

finally got a copy of the new Perdition Temple. took forever for a US distro to stock it.

also check out Grave Desecrator. if you dudes like old Sepultura, Sarcofago and Vulcano you'll love it.

 

[A1a23]

The Baphomet album is fucking awesome. Haven't heard any of their stuff under the name Banished though.

 

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

Deliver Me Unto Pain is solid.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

meh, both their albums are average mid-paced NYDM.

Seconded. Really good stuff. I like it even more than Sign of Doom tbh.

 

[CF87]

I prefere The Dead Shall Inherit over anything from say Internal Bleeding,Suffocation,Pyrexia,etc...

 

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

What about Morpheus Descends? I'd honestly consider everything by MD to be much better than Baphomet or Banished.

 

[CF87]

Ritual of Infinity is good. I do wish it was recorded different, but oh well. It should have sounded better.

 

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

Disagree, has a great atmosphere.

 

[VelociBrad]

I like Baphomet better than MD, but I definitely prefer Suffo and Immo out of the whole NY scene.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Morpheus Descends were fucking awesome.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I revisited Baphomet's The Dead Shall Inherit recently and came to the conclusion that it's some of the best death metal to come out of New York besides, perhaps, Immolation.

 

[Zephyrus]

Ritual Infitinity is a masterful synthesis of catchy rhythms and dark, crushing riffs.

 

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

Wow, you butchered that title pretty badly.

 

[mutantllama]

It's certainly better than a ton of shit that gets recycled and talked about all the time (NILE, BEHEMOTH, CANNIBAL CORPSE, etc), which is why I brought it up.

and a lot of obscure little known bands are actually very good, and dismissing them as "forgotten for a reason" is pretty much as bad as praising something for being popular.

I think what he was trying to say is that a lot of obscure albums are often praised for being obscure rather then the music.

 

[General Zaroff]

I was looking around for some Black Metal, but I stumbled upon this instead:

Pretty awesome demo. I checked MA, and I see they were the precursor to Dead Congregation.

 

[stefan86]

Checked out that Baphomet disc. There sure was a lot of good U.S. and swedish Death Metal recorded around 91-93

Well, its true also. The "obscure" bands are often just insanly influence by the "talked about all the time" bands which often sat the standards in the first place.

Beeing a death metal fan and calling bands like "Nile" shit will only make you look like a dumbass. Praising something for being popular is for sure not the way to go either. "Popular" or obscure, it says nothing about the quality of a product. But the its also easier for the obscure to talk smack about the "popular" and its very often cause of jealousy...
