Wow, I leave for two days and this thread descends into pleb-tier discussion and grown ass men fighting like 12 year olds. Get it together fellas. A few comments on what I've seen here.
-I've tried multiple times to get into TBDM, but i absolutely hate everything they've done. Trevor is one of the coolest death metal supporters ever, but his vocals make me wish I was Helen Keller.
-Deicide is a good band. The new stuff is a little bland, but their early material, first two albums especially, are essential listening.
-Even through all my explorations of the underground, Cannibal Corpse is still my favorite band. They were my first death metal band and nothing will change that. A lot of people call them bland or unoriginal, but I've yet to hear a band that sounds anything like their mid-era material, namely Bloodthirst, Gore Obsessed, and the like. Bloodthirst is the absolute pinnacle of the death metal genre, a perfect album in every way. Perhaps not the most dazzling or wildly impressive, but solid and compositionally glorious.
-Behemoth is some of the most boring tripe ever, I'm pretty sad that Nergal beat leukemia. He's an arrogant, pretentious hipster prick who I highly doubt even listens to death metal. I've always loved that DM is a genre for fans, and i doubt if he has bought s true death metal album in quite some time. Too busy buying gay halloween costumes to wear on stage. "oooh look how artistically evil we can be." Gimme a fucking break. The Satanist was insanely dull, andI wouldn't bother to wipe my ass with it.
-Immolation is one of the greatest bands of our time. "Kingdom of Conspiracy" was a bit of a letdown and somewhat of a misstep, but everything preceding that is untouchable. Majesty and Decay is top 20 death metal albums material IMO.
On a more personal note, Cassetteisgod and TechnicalBarbarity, stop arguing like faggots. It's a fucking music discussion board, if you get offended discussing music with strangers on the internet, you should probably just suck start a 12 gauge because you're a huge fucking pussy. Look, you guys are both cool as shit and have awesome taste, stop playing "who has a bigger dick" here and discuss some sick music. /faggotry
