Death Metal

[Phylactery]

plenty of good suggestions above. i'm just gonna cite one of my favourite 'gateway' bands because i'm listening to them right now:

While this is a personal favourite of mine, I didn't suggest it because it actually took me a really long time to get into. I heard "Before the Dawn" (which I liked a lot) before buying it, and then I found the rest impenetrable for some reason. I only persevered with it because it has a dark aura that most death metal wishes it had. Now I love it.

Good call on that Poison! Into the Abyss is fucking amazing.

Grave Miasma has a new album coming out.

This should be interesting.

Also Graf Spee is good stuff, I wish someone would give the album a proper CD reissue.

Just checked out poison awesome raw sound from into the abyss

I'm actually impressed. For a band that hadn't released any new material in 25 years that's really solid.

I thought so too. Definitely worth a chance.

That La Fiura tune absolutely made my day man. cheers

Eucharist is back together to play live.

 

[Phylactery]

I've seen a lot of people criticizing drum sounds/performance in the mixed theme game, but the only one I've heard that actually really bothers me is that snare sound on Eucharist's A Velvet Creation. It's really distracting, especially when they start blasting. Such a shame because otherwise I'd be a huge fan of that album.

 

[no country for old wainds]

haha. i love that snare, totally works for me. i get why it'd annoy people though obviously

 

[Phylactery]

Well when I bought it 7/8 years ago and I hit the part at 1:25 into "Greeting Immortality", I turned it off not much later and vowed never to unleash that snare sound again on these ears. An obvious overreaction and I've since come around to listening to it. Once I get more familiar with it I'm sure it won't be a problem.

Back when I was first getting into metal, the snare sound on Obituary's Cause of Death annoyed the Hell out of me and I thought the production on Blessed are the Sick sucked because it lacked "heaviness". Funny looking back on these things.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I've gotten so used to that snare that I wouldn't have it any other way now.

 

[no country for old wainds]

what are some other production jobs that you guys love but a lot of people shit on? satan's host METAL FROM HELL comes to mind for me.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I often see people complaining about the drums on I.N.R.I. I think they sound fucking incredible.

 

[Phylactery]

Well I have read thoughts that the production on the following albums is an issue:

The Chasm - Deathcult for Eternity: The Triumph, never once been an issue for me, I think it's perfect.

Moonblood - Blut und Krieg, everything is perfectly audible here so again I don't see an issue.

Immortal - Pure Holocaust, the production on this one is one of the best things about it, I've watched live performances on YouTube of some of these songs and they sound terrible, the awesome melodies being barely discernible.

At the Gates - The Red in the Sky Is Ours, the production is kinda strange so I can see people's issue, but originality is the name of this album so it fits.

 

[Anom@nder Rake]

those Chasm and AtG albums sound like shit but the music is 10/10. the Deathcult remaster is marginally better than the original. Immolation's Failures for Gods is another one of those "good music, shit production" albums

 

[Trodden]

I dont know how heavy you guys like your shit. I can dig some Nevermore or or some other power, but I want my shit as heavy as it can be

so I eat less bran

 

[RedStorm]

thats actually not bad.

 

[Trodden]

I spend every damn day looking for new bands. I dont want to flood the thread of just my posts, but Im here to share music and discover some. let me know if you want more

 

[RedStorm]
