Death Metal

[Podgie]

We've got black, power and sludge metal threads, so I thought it was only fitting we have a death metal thread too! That, and I'm bored. And I figured it was my turn to make a sub-genre thread haha

Death metal is arguably the most extreme sub-genre of heavy metal, and in my opinion the best. Since it emerged in the mid 80's the genre has diversified greatly and spawned some of my favourite bands.

Go!

 

[D.Ingram]

Nile, Death, Massacre, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Cannabis Corpse, Bolt Thrower, Napalm Death, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, and (to an extent) Demolition Hammr, Messiah, Devastation.

 

[Pablokers]

Couple of favourites, Im not into many death metal bands but the ones I like, I really really like.

[D.Ingram]

I never ever got into Suffocation, no idea why as they're an ace band.

Nile are just utterly fucking mindblowingly incredible.

 

[Heavy Metal Rich]

Yeah its a good Onslaught song but I don't see the point in having a thread about one, quite old song....

Oh wait.


Umm yeah, I'm not into that many death metal bands. Death, a bit of Bolt Thrower, some Obituary and Arch Enemy for a bit of melodic, thrashy death.

 

[D.Ingram]

Ahahaha very good Rich!

Try Massacre!

 

[Journeyman14]

Not a huge fan but Immolation are pretty cool.

 

[Zehm]

Revocation. enough said

 

[Vedicardi]

I just like old school tech death metal.

Atheist anyone?

 

[Ocelot2010]

I like technical and brutal death metal, like Nile and Cannibal corpse
Old school death metal bands like Obituary and Death are also undeniable
I should probably expand my sig banner

 

[Covet Chaos]

I enjoy listening tooo *takes deep breath in*

Carcass, Bolt Thrower, Napalm Death, Death, Obituary, Morgoth, Capharnaum, Baphomet, Banished, Cannibal Corpse, Cannabis Corpse, Meshuggah, Suffocation, Masachist, Atheist, Depravity, Impaler, Gorguts, Feretrum, Carnage, Monstrosity, Massacre, Morbid Angel, Bloodbath, Dismember, Vader, Defecation, Autopsy, Pestilence, Exhumed, Impaled, Malevolent Creation, Tardy Brothers.

Errr, theres loads more. A few bands i havent listened too propperly for a while and i really do need too.

i love bloodbath and death, new to the genre really. but its greaaat. i have heard and liked others but they are my favourites.

 

[Podgie]

I just like old school tech death metal.

Atheist anyone?

YES

Nocturnus? The Key?

 

[Keenan]

Opeth.

Some Amorphis.... Gojira if they count, and some Amon Amarth. That is all.

 

[Podgie]

I'd say Gojira were a hell of a lot more death metal than Opeth... but yeah, both good bands.

I'm not going to list all the death metal bands I listen to (Dan covered most of them in his post anyway haha) but I listen to pretty much all types of death metal. In recent years I've noticed a fine line between some of the great modern tech death bands and some of the really bad 'deathcore' acts there are floating around at the moment though.. and that's not good. Some of them are horrendous.

 

[Journeyman14]

Nocturnus? The Key?

Oh god, yes!

 

[EvileOL]

I like my death metal evil and chunky, so I stick to Death, Obituary, Deicide, old CC, Morbid Angel etc

 

[D.Ingram]

No love for Massacre?

You bunch of bums

 

[Heavy Metal Rich]

I forgot to say Gojira. I've only got The Way Of All Flesh and I like it quite a bit.

 

[Covet Chaos]

No love for Massacre?

You bunch of bums

You rang?
