Favourite Dark Angel album that's not Darkness Descends

[Erik]

Because if I included DD everyone would choose that.

 

[Hell Mike]

WEEEELL I hate you for making this difficult, but I'm going with We Have Arrived.

 

[Henrik Main]

Voted "gay and lying". I don't like Dark Angel. They would have served well as a gateway into death metal, but as a fan of stuff that is a tad more extreme, I feel that something is missing in Dark Angel (and most other thrash bands). More aggressive vocals and heavier guitars would have done the trick. You may now proceed to flame me.

 

[JayKeeley]

Woot!

I think I would like DD more if they used more tempo changes....you know, like Slayer, Sepultura, Kreator, and other premier league players.

Dark Angel has plenty of tempo changes ... the problem is they are usually buried in a wall of muddy production.

I did choose We Have Arrived ... for it's simplicity.

More extreme, you say?

Or Morbid Angel's "Covenant", Dismember's "Like An Everflowing Stream", etc.

 

[Erik]

Fuck off you motherfucking fuck fuck, brutality is not about playing at 290 bpm.

 

[Hell Mike]

romperytter 0, hell mike motörbike 1.

Not according to your definition, possibly. Not that we're talking about brutality anyway, the word is extreme. When did Dismember and Morbid Angel start playing at 290 BPM?

 

[Hell Mike]

shut up

When I accidentally played them at 45 rpm

Anyway, shut up and thrash til death

 

[Black Winter Day]

I'm even gayer than Henrik... I've never heard any of these, including "Darkness Descends".

 

[Erik]

lol this (<-- don't click this link) is yuo for never having heard dark angel

 

[Black Winter Day]

right-click ---> properties ---> no

 

[Erik]

Giggle.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

"We Have Arrived" - it has all that neat traditional heavy metal moments that are always conquering.

 

[speed]

I like Time Does Not Heal. Who hates Dark Angel and why? The speed, precision, technicality, epicness, complexity of their thrash is second to none. However, the production does suck, and the singing isnt the greaest. You know I played Darkness Descends to a guitarist friend of mine who had only listened to Metallica, as he is a jazz guy, and he was blown away at how good it was.

 

[Papa Josh]

Time Does not Heal for it's Terry date production (top notch), it's epic length, and the advertising bit they used back then made mention of over 270 riffs or something....

 

[Hell Mike]

9 songs, 67 minutes, 246 riffs!
