J. said:
so far, this is what i've got down:

Atheist - Piece of Time
Autopsy - Severed Survival
Autopsy - Mental Funeral
Pestilence - Consuming Impulse
Pestilence - Testimony...
Incantation - Onward to Golgotha
Incantation - Diabolical Conquest
What a monumental haul. :kickass: Add those Death albums for sure. Such a great band.
 
here's a track off of Severed Survival ... this disc has the dirtiest production in DM EVER ... never heard anything as good since this ... pure raw, sludgy death ... the bass sound is punishing.

check out the breakdown at the 3 minute mark .. after ... OK, I"LL DO IT! ... just pure DEATH fucking METAL :kickass:

that a good un. ill be getting it if can find it for a decent price.

what are everyones thoughts on:

Spiritual Healing
Individual Thought Paterns
Human
 
my fave Death disc is still LEPROSY ... best mix of DM and technical ... combined with some heads down groovy tunes
 
Spiritual Healing- didn't quite have the freshness of Scream Bloody Gore and Leperosy. I generally see it as the weakest Death album, though James Murphey had some great moments.

Human is great as the technical elements are impressive, but there's still some brutal riffing. Probably the best of the three mentioned.

Individual Thought Patterns- continues the trend of melodicism and technicality. Probably their last album with any real elements of brutality.

totally agree with this ... the spark just was not there on this one ... and Chuck wisely took the band in another direction ...
 
Agreed. Human and ITP outshine SH, although I'm not sure I prefer one over the other. Great stuff, but it may be inching outside of what it seems you're looking for. Maybe not. Buy it anyway.

It is. FOr now I'm sticking with the first two. I see they were both re-released with liner notes and such. They dont appear to have been remastered, which is good.
 
Seems like a good choice, J. The first two Death albums are the truest death metal releases, and though I love Humand and Individual Thought Patterns, I don't think of them in the same way.
 
Therion - Beyond Sanctorum
Windham Hell - Reflective Depths Imbibe
Gorguts - Obscura

You know, for all three of these bands it's hard to to pick a favorite as the releases for each are basically all equally good.
 
Autopsy - Mental Funeral
Death - Scream Bloody Gore, Leprosy, Human, Individual Thought Patterns

J. - You should REALLY check out Pentacle. They fucking RULE.

For me to enjoy DM, it has to be pretty fucking good. :tickled:

I think you can safely go the opposite of what I say, since I really like the technical stuff:

Individual Thought Patterns was Death's best release by far, Unquestionable Presence is Atheist's best, nothing Pestilence put out is worth owning, Therion only got good once they started doing the classical thing, and I haven't heard the remaining bands.

I agree with everything said here.
