my claims that Pestilence are a death metal band and that Sepultura are a thrash band?
Just the latter claim, I already accept the former.

Its called a working set of ears. Do you hear more Ride the Lightning, The Legacy, Megadeth, Anthrax etc in Pestilence or do you hear more Leprosy, Grave, Sinsiter etc?

Was reading a Sepultura interview a few days ago and came across these..
Decibel: ...Sepultura started moving towards a more sociopolitical lyrical approach. Where did this come from?
Max : ... This was around when we stopped copying Celtic Frost, Kreator and Sodom and tried doing our own thing ...
Decibel : Obviously you developed a kinship with artist Michael Whelan, as you asked him back to do Arise's cover. What do you remember about working with him on that album?
Max: We loved BtR and Michael's style. It was really, really dark. So we thought, "Lets use him again". He sent us a painting of the Arise cover, but the only thing that was different was that instead of a brain in the middle, there was an egg, and we didnt think the egg was very metal. So i had to call him and tell him the egg wasnt metal enough and we needed something more metal. He was laughing and trying to convince me by saying all this stuff like "It's there because some religions consider the egg the center of the soul" and all this stuff, but i wasnt buying any of it. The egg just wasnt cutting it, man.

With the exceptions of Dehydrated and The Trauma (and the interlude obviously), all the songs have more in common with stuff like Damage Inc, early Testament, Zetro-era Exodus or Exhorder at their fastest, Believer, etc than the death metal you've mentioned, so I'll go with the former. Fast, palm-muted triplet/syncopated pedal-point chugging is the basis on which most of the verse riffs are built. There's a bit of 80s Death influence too of course, but it's not predominant. I mean, would you say the album is more death metal than something like Excursion Demise, an album widely considered to be just as much thrash as death (if not more so)? Consuming Impulse is basically a dark, unusually dissonant and atmospheric thrash metal album in lower tuning. I'd say its closest overall relative is 89-91 Coroner actually.

@Slayed Necros just noticed the lack of STILLBIRTH MACHINE even on your honourable mentions. oversight or are you not as big on it these days?

I've always had that marked as a '91 album for some reason. It'd make my top 20 for the year, probably my top 10 if I didn't include EPs.

you need to book an appointment with an ENT doctor, asap
And lol at you for thinking that Invocator album(which is tech-thrash first and foremost) is considered just as much death metal as it is thrash. How many primary votes for death metal have you seen for that album on RYM? Let me give you a clue ... ZERO. And a even bigger lol for thinking that Consuming Impulse(maybe you were thinking MM, which is definitely closer) sounds like that album. Seriously, fix your ears.

I don't think Descend into the Absurd has been on anyone's lists so far. Another titan of death metal. Saying that, it probably won't make my top 10 either.
damn you guys have good memories. can you just rattle off 10 albums from all these random years in these threads or do you have to do research? i couldn't even name 10 albums from any year without looking shit up to see when it was released.

There are only very few albums from 1992 I still listen to every once in a while, whereas I haven't played most of them for 20 years or even more, so I'll cut this list off after the first five places.
1. Psychotic Waltz - Into the Everflow
2. Solitude Aeturnus - Beyond the Crimson Horizon
3. Thought Industry - Songs for Insects
4. Faith No More - Angel Dust
5. Dream Theater - Images and Words

l got a wee bit excited when l saw no country's 92 thread but, after compiling, l realised that its 90 or 91 that l was wetting myself about. 92 was tough

I'm usually only sure of my top 1 or 2 and have to give the rest a bit of a listen. To get 10 I have to include some I haven't listened to much, but these threads are a great excuse to revisit them.

This is a solid list. Haven't seen many (if any) mentions of The Karelian Isthmus by Amorphis, which is a fantastic record.

... definitely one of the best death metal albums of that year(i have it @ #7). And their best, by far. I cant even listen to the follow-up.

I really like The Karelian Isthmus, but 1992 was such a great year for death metal that it can't really compete for me. I didn't have Asphyx, Deicide, Atrocity, Fleshcrawl or Cenotaph in my list, all of which I'd take over that Amorphis record.
