Death Metal

[metallicdistort]

Nah man, worth checking out?

 

[Podgie]

Yeah, they're one of my favourite death metal bands. Icons of Evil is their latest album, it has Glen Benton on vocals and it's in a similar vein to Deicide (but better, in my opinion)

I think most of it is up on YouTube, definitely worth checking out. The lead guitarist, Dave Suzuki (also the drummer) is fucking amazing.

 

[Podgie]

Plus, look at the fucking album cover...

You can't get much better than that!

 

[metallicdistort]

Haha now that's my kinda album cover!

Sounds awesome, I'll check em out now

Never got into Vital Remains....

On a sperate note, I'm blasting Gorguts' "Considered Dead" at the moment. Forgot how great it was - the intro to 'Waste of Mortality' is genius.

 

[metallicdistort]

Podgie is preaching truth! Vital Remains are awesome, everyone should go listen

 

[Podgie]

Aye, Considered Dead is awesome.

Never got into Vital Remains?! I'd act surprised, but I'm not really haha nobody seems to give a shit about them apart from me haha I think they're amazing though. Well, i think Dave Suzuki is amazing.

OK, but I have to wonder what is that you are looking for in the vocals. It's not that Amon Amarth, Death and Opeth have much in common style-wise.

How does one hate Land of Tears???

Amazing musicianship........lacking vocals...... I dunno man, somehting about most death vocals just bothers me. *shrug*
That was a pretty badass song though. The slow part was epic.

Vital Remains are pretty good, but their songs are sooooooo long. I prefer Deicide to be honest (although Dechristianize and Icons of Evil are epic songs)

 

[Podgie]

Vital Remains kick ten tons of shit out of Deicide every single day of the week, twice.

 

[metallicdistort]

Anyone here a fan of Blood Red Throne? One of my favourite death metal bands.

 

[-[chop]-]

^ i have just heard some songs..but from what i have heard they are pretty damn good..me like!!

 

[Der Morgenstern]

You should check out Norway's Obliteration.

Fenriz approved!

 

[Keenan]

Keenan approves as well! (even though that doesn't mean much )


Whats the general consensus of Amon Amarth here? Yay, nay?
I have the 3 newest albums, and I'm addicted to em They're fucking awesome.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Viking metal doesn't do anything for me.

 

[Keenan]

No? Its kind of a niche thing I guess, but to each their own.

Covet? Podgie? Anyone else? Thoughts?

I've only heard


But it kicks sooooo much ass. I've been meaning to get one of there albums and I quite like the viking lyrics

 

[MegaPwn]

Amon Amarth are a great band, I have all of their albums XD Once Sent From The Golden Hall is my personal favourite album.

 

[Covet Chaos]

They don't do it for me! Sorry Keenan dude

 

[Der Morgenstern]

I like some of that pagan/viking metal stuff.

Primordial for example. But they're not your prototypical viking/pagan metal band really. They don't make drinking songs or sing about vanquishing things in the name of old gods.

I went to Pagan Fest and was just astounded by the kind of half-ass shtick a lot of these bands put on. 'WE ENDORSE THE OLD WAYS! NOW BUY OUR MERCH MADE IN CHINA! AND LET'S DO SOME JAEGER SHOTS!"
