Gorguts vs. Meshuggah

[Lateralus14]

I only heard a few songs by Gorguts and it was interesting at first listen. I've tried to get into Meshuggah several times but they just sound aweful every time.

 

[Doomguy]

Gorguts definitely. Meshuggah's only good album was Chaosphere.

 

[v2kv]

They're both off-timed, low-tuned death metal. Sure, they have different styles though there are also elements that are similar. Both are also trend-setters, in their own right, that have been around for quite some time.

Though, largely, the idea came from a discussion between a friend and I.

I dunno, I think the main difference that pretty much completely sets them apart is that Meshuggah are more groove-oriented, while Gorguts are more spastic and chaotic. I don't understand the notion that Meshuggah are somehow less innovative (not mentioned by you btw, I saw it earlier itt), because there weren't really any bands doing what they did before them.

 

[Skepticism]

Gorguts wins, but I is still one hell of a song.

 

[Base Delta Zero]

Gorguts wins, but I is still one hell of a song.

~9:00-12:00 of I is fucking great!

 

[Andromidius]

Like them both. But I prefer Gorguts' singer.

Oh, you didn't know? A band's name is EXTREMELY relevant to the quality of that band's music. I have the thread to prove it.

Yeah, but Gorguts sounds fucking badass.

 

[RedinTheSky]

Gorguts is awesome.

Meshuggah is like the AC\DC of 'Math Metal' or 'Off-Time' or whatever buzzword you want to use to describe something that's still boring.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Mediocre bands both of them. I voted for Meshuggah.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I love Meshuggah and have only heard a couple of Gorguts songs, so I'm obviously going to have to go with Meshuggah.

[The Ozzman]

Both kick ass, but I just enjoy Meshuggah more

Both pick up Obscura NOW

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Obscura is awesome for what it is but I don't like what it is.

 

[waif]

The correct answer is Gorguts, obviously.

quiet you

 

[v2kv]

Obscura is awesome for what it is but I don't like what it is.

Obscura is terrible for what it is, is generic, trendy tech metal.

 

[Omni]

Obscura isn't generic, since nothing else sounds like it. For the same reason, I don't see it being a part of any trends. You're either extremely dumb or confusing the gay band Obscura with the album by the same name from Gorguts, the latter being the one that's being discussed here.

Further irony comes from your music taste, which contains many generic, trendy technical metal bands.

 

[Gold]

obscura are pretty good nothing spectacular. not enough meshuggah in this thread..

 

[Episteme]

Obscura =/= Gorguts... Review your opinions.
