Kick ass bands????

[MetalJester098]

I'm reasonably new on the death metal scene and have yet to discover many great bands.

I have come across 'Opeth' and recently purchased 'Blackwater park' as with 'In Flames' and 'Colony'.
Through MP3 downloads I have discovered the wonders of 'The Berzerker', 'Green Carnation' and 'Athiest'.

Would any of you guys be able to recomend any other bands you think would suit me, with the bands I have just given in mind.

Cheers guys.

Quarry Mantis, one I just discovered.

Sort of melodic-death with clean and growled vocals. Better than Opeth!

 

[Crimson Death]

I second that notion!!!

Try out as well "Edge Of Sanity - Crimson"

Ebony Tears - Tortura Insomniae

You can hear the Quarry Mantis influences in their music

Oh and go to this site and download the album Screams & Whispers...

I dunno...I think its slightly sacriligous to say something like that.......

 

[Immortaldemon]

Bloodbath.......A good fun death metal band
Angel Corpse ..............Super brutal death metal
Zyklon..............Excellent black/death
Iniquity..............The most underrated death metal band eve

And I'm sure you've heard of Decapitated and Dying Fetus.

And you must get some Nile. Simply the best Death Metal ever IMO.

 

[Crimson Death]

Maybe.

Or maybe you're too a coward to admit that!!!

Me? I'm am SOOO below Quarry Mantis. Sadly, nothing isn't!

 

[Crimson Death]

I heard somewhere that Steven Wilson is singing on the next song..

Don't remember from who tho

I think Mikael said that Quarry Mantis was the biggest influence for their new album coming up early 2004, entitled, I Killed My Mother For Looking At Me Funny...oh...whoops, you didn't hear that from me!

 

[Crimson Death]

Is that the Opeth grindcore album I heard rumours on?

 

[Static]

Oh no, not just grindcore.

QM invented something called MEGAcore, which surfaced in their 1996 EP, 'To Kill Is To Be Grim'. Its basically the basic elements of grindcore, but taken to MEGA proportions. Thats what Opeth's next album will be. Oh, it will be UBER-huge just like QM btw...

 

[Crimson Death]

Is it symphonic grindcore with 14 mins songs?

 

[Static]

No, 27 minutes is the shortest song...

The longest is 128 minutes and you have to change CDs to hear it all.

...and its MEGAcore, the key word is MEGA! Implying bigness on a large scale!

 

[Crimson Death]

LOL

Why not just put it on DVD cd?

 

[Static]

Ummm...well....I....ahhhhh

Dvds are untr00.



Phew. Close save!

 

[Crimson Death]

LOL!

DVDS are ultra tr00 now. the www.tr00ornot.com website decided that DVDS are tr00.

Far save

 

[Static]

That site is a travesty! Quarry Mantis decides what is tr00! In an interview they said Dvds are not, and I listen to them for they are gods!

 

[Crimson Death]

Nice save

When will they do live shows?

 

[Static]

As soon as the main singer can pay his rent! He had to sell his sword just to pay it last week. I think they might be doing shows in the forest its just they forgot to advertise. Some say, if you walk in the forest late at night you can hear them in the distance, playing their setlist which consists of -

- I Cut Myself With My Tr00-Doom Sword
- Satan Is Hella Cool
- Demons Eat Your Babies
- Hell Is Like A Sauna (1st movement)
- ...But Its Flames Instead Of Steam (2nd movement)
- My Middle Name Is Brutal Lord Of Killing
- A Giant Mantis Ripped Out My Bowels...(don't let him eat them)

...and the only ballad they ever wrote, except its a tr00 one

- I Love You Dead

Great songs.
