Extreme Yet Beautiful, Ambient, and Awe-Inspiring

[nissan]

I'm mainly pointing to death metal albums of such. A couple of good examples would be Phlebotomized - Immense Intense Suspense and Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris. I guess the key words here are extreme and beautiful.

I'd really appreciate some recommendations and or some discussion, more so the recommendations.

And I know that there's already a recommendation thread, but this is really important to me. If you can't find a place for me in your heart, then shun me out and I will spend the remainder of my days crying . I love you...

 

[Mort Divine]

Vuvr - Pilgrimage

Exactly what you are looking for. Death Metal/Jazz Fusion, really uplifting and awesome sounding.

Love History - Anasazi may fit as well.

Carbonized - Disharmonization is really weird but I get a really positive vibe from it.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Phlebotomized - Immense Intense Suspense

Fuck yes, this album is grandiose, to say the least. But as for recommendations, I'd go with some early Nocturnus and Darkside.

Thanks a lot. I managed to get my hands on the Vuvr and Love History and they're both pretty nice so far

Yeah, that album is probably my favourite metal album of all time. I knew about Noctornus, but I'll check Darkside... Thanks

How about

Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse + any albums
In Flames - Subterranean
Dan Swano - Moontower

also Gorguts have some cool piano interludes stuff, I have only heard "Erosion of Sanity" but it seems to fit that description, and Nile has some cool Egyptian interludes and instrumentals...

edit: I have heard that Paradise Lost started as death metal, can anyone tell me if their early stuff is any good, death metal-wise

Assuming you are referring to the album before Gothic, no.

 

[Freanan]

I am not into Death Metal very much (partly because most DM lacks the features you are asking for in this thread) and don't know the albums you mentioned.

But i suggest that you check the following:

Disembowelment: Transcendence into the Peripheral
Morbid Angel: Altars of Madness (too obvious? not ambient? dunno. Its beautifull.)
Gorguts: Obscura
Amorphis: The Karelian Isthmus

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Mithras - Worlds Beyond The Veil (excellent creepy/paranoid feel and awesome solos)
Anata - The Infernal Depths Of Hatred (sublime use of emotional melody)

 

[Slayed Necros]

It's not strictly death metal but definitely fits the requirements:

Argentum - Ad Interitum Funebrarum

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

^ That looks great, I'm gonna check it.

 

[Armageddon's Child]

 

[Death Aflame]

I made a thread similar to this awhile ago looking for emotional death metal, which is quite similar to what your asking for here. Unfortunately the search function doesn't seem to be working too well for me.

Nonetheless here are some albums that may have what your looking for:

Eucharist - A Velvet Creation
At The Gates - Gardens of Grief; The Red in the Sky is Ours
Negura Bunget - Om
Sacramentum - Far Away from the Sun
Vinterland - Welcome My Last Chapter
Disaffected - Vast
Depresy - A Grand Magnificance; Sighting
Ethereal Blue - Black Heart Process
Molested - Blod Draum
Wayd - Decadence
Omnium Gatherum - Spirits and August Light
Alcest - Le Secret
Dawn - 1st album (too lazy to type the title)
Forest Silence - Philosophy of Winter
Geasa - Angel's Cry

Not in any particular order and it's a mix of black and death metal (with one Gothenburg album in there I think).

 

[Solipsist]

Guys, don't forget Stargazer- The Scream That Tore the Sky

 

[Life Sucks]

Not pure deathmetal, but slow doomdeath with mostly death metal vocals:

Mourning Beloveth - The Sullen Sulcus

It's heavy, melodic, depressing as hell, and beautiful. My favorite CD.

 

[Killbot]

Mithras - Worlds Beyond The Veil (excellent creepy/paranoid feel and awesome solos)

Hell yeah. Also Stargazer as Solipsist mentioned.

I checked out Lykathea Aflame Once, and hated them. Didn't buy any of their stuff. That was quite some time ago, though. Possibly I'll give a second chance. This probably belongs in the rec thread, but where should I start in their discog?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

They have one CD...

 

[Life Sucks]

I like the feeling and emotion in Lykathea Aflame's music, and it's really rare for the genre.

Thanks. I've never heard the Dan Swano, I'll check

I have the Gorguts, but non of the others. Thanks for the recommendation... I'll check

Mithras - Worlds Beyond The Veil (excellent creepy/paranoid feel and awesome solos)
Anata - The Infernal Depths Of Hatred (sublime use of emotional melody)

I have Forever Advancing Legions by Mithras and the newest Anata already, and they're not exactly what I'm looking for right now. But I'll check the two you just recommended, thanks

It's not strictly death metal but definitely fits the requirements:

Argentum - Ad Interitum Funebrarum

Thanks

Excellent recommendation. I already had it though, and I was listening to it the other day and I realized this is a good example of what I was looking for in that thread. Good stuff

Mourning Beloveth - The Sullen Sulcus

Elvenefris is their only album. Although they used to be called Appalling Spawn, and they have one album under that name. Elvenefris is better that Freedom, Hope, and Fury.

I like the feeling and emotion in Lykathea Aflame's music, and it's really rare for the genre.

It is rare, yet so nice.

Mithras - Worlds Beyond The Veil (excellent creepy/paranoid feel and awesome solos)
Anata - The Infernal Depths Of Hatred (sublime use of emotional melody)

Anata is one of the best death metal bands I've ever heard. The Conductor's Departure is great.
