Death Metal

[ohiogrinder]

try a black metal band. I've always thought of black metal being closer to thrash than death metal. Michael Amott of Carnage/Carcass said something about hating thrash in Choosing Death because it was the popular thing at the time and he wanted to differentiate himself from all the other metalheads.

 

[Life Sucks]

not all death metal is gurgle grunts and excessive blastbeats.

I agree. Death metal doesn't have to have blast beats at all (ref Asphyx, Carnage, Grave, Moodark, etc.).

In terms of riffing style and technique, death metal is much closer to thrash than black metal is.

actually it depends on the band. and Grave (at least on the first album) and Carnage do have blastbeats. they're just not the usual triggered "hyper-blasts".

Get learned, cuz Swano didn't write any of it. It was all Rogga...Swano has only recently become a full-time member. He played only session drums and keys on Breath Of The Demiurg. And that album is a big time grower. There is a ton of great, thick atmosphere and even a cool concept to be discovered if you care enough.

The new song is the best one so far, it fucking rules.

i wasnt referring to just the song writing. either swano had a big influence in production, or rogga was heavily influenced by the swano school of thought. but either way its irrelevant due to the fact that i still think the album sucks.

I think the words came out in the wrong order.

Kind of ironic in retrospect.

I agree

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Thats why he has a chick in his band. To be totally unique... Just like all the other better bands with female members.

Bolt Thrower and Electric Wizard would like a word with you.

I was trying to imply that all those other bands were better. Didn't quite work.

I'd hope my burning pentagramal hatred for the musical abortion that is arch-enemy would make up for my temporary lapse into Childrengrinder-esque linguistic phallacy.

 

[ohiogrinder]

Bolt Thrower is perfect drinking music

 

[The Ozzman]

CCR is perfect drinking music

 

[S<issors]

linguistic phallacy.

ironic.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Tankard is perfect drinking music.

good band, but for drinking? I need something more bombastic to chug Guinness with.

CCR is great music for chilling out. What better way to drink a guinness?

Though, CoC is sufficient as well..
