[EchoForever]

i have to disagree with that morbid angel choice

 

[Phylactery]

I don't agree with his choice of Covanent either, but it's better than Domination which just isn't that good.

Blessed are the Sick forever.

 

[EchoForever]

people diss domination and i just dont understand it
so many great tracks
maybe its just my personal preference, used to listen to that when i was younger all the time

 

[Internally Deformed]

Domination is okay, neither bad nor good. I like the first two or three tracks anyway.

 

[CiG]

Abominations Of Desolation > Altars Of Madness > Covenant > Blessed Are The Sick > the rest.

 

[EchoForever]

does morbid angel get talked about a lot here?
i love their aggressive sound

 

[Phylactery]

I've seen them mentioned quite a bit, which is understandable since they're one of the most well known death metal bands. They're also one of my favourites.

Formulas Fatal to the Flesh is their underrated album.

 

[Internally Deformed]

I keep trying to get into FFttF and GtA, but they just don't seem to have dynamism of the early releases. They're okay, but the songs settle into a groove and you feel you know where they're going. The great thing about the first two albums was all the strange tempo changes and weird parts that sound out of place until you realise that they're actually genius.

 

[EternalMetal]

Abominations Of Desolation > Altars Of Madness > Covenant > Blessed Are The Sick > the rest.

I usually consider AoD separately when rating the MA albums since it's more of a demo than an actual album, but I can understand putting it at the top. I honestly prefer the production sound on AoD than I do any other MA albums, but hearing the associated demo songs in retrospect of the finished versions, I can really appreciate the actual album versions even more. They didnt really find the true death metal sound until AoM imo, but the demo seriously kicks ass to listen to.

id rank MA's albums as A > B > C > the rest. I feel the same way that @Internally Deformed does about the later material. I like select songs off of Domination, Formulas, and Gateways, but most of it just seems too contrived and focused considering how deranged their older material sounded.

 

[EchoForever]

best autopsy coming through


they perfect the whole "death doom" sound on this album
so slow and nasty

 

[CiG]

Eh, the death doom tag for that album is quite overstated.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Yeah, more death than doom by a wide margin.

 

[CiG]

Manowar - Hail To England
DoomSword - Resound The Horn
Slough Feg - Atavism

 

[theflyingmachine]

For other bands on here that have been mentioned:

Slayer-Haunting the chapel
Suffocation-Human Waste
Autopsy-Severed Survival
Clutch-S/T
Cannibal Corpse-Vile
Vader-Black to the blind- pretty similar in quality to Litany, but I haven't had this album as long so it is still fresh

Hasn't been mentioned, but Dying Fetus-Killing on Adrenaline, just over Destroy the Opposition

I keep trying to get into FFttF and GtA, but they just don't seem to have dynamism of the early releases. They're okay, but the songs settle into a groove and you feel you know where they're going. The great thing about the first two albums was all the strange tempo changes and weird parts that sound out of place until you realise that they're actually genius.

I purchased Domination when I was 13 or 14 and thought of it as incredible at the time, so I'll always hold it highly. But, I realize that it is a little bit more simplistic than most MA albums. Formulas didn't click with me for awhile, but I now consider it to be very well done, and they clearly put a ton of work into that album. Gateways is OK, but on average, I prefer their faster albums to their every-other album where they slow down the pace. Plus, that album marked, for me at least, a start of them trending towards a more run of the mill death metal band. I even like the tracks on Heretic (ie the actual tracks, not the ambient crap).

 

[EchoForever]

i think the death doom tag is very literal
its death metal slowed down at doom pace
its definitely different from the staples of the death doom genre

 

[CiG]

Accept - Restless And Wild

Gotta disagree, it's not literal. Coffins would be literal.

At best, Autopsy have doom metal influences, specifically they mention Trouble, but they sprinkle the doom metal quite sporadically throughout.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

After they appeared in the game recently, I had to dig out this and Transcendence and put them into heavy rotation. I'm not really sure why so many people prefer Transcendence when this is a more consistent album.

It's a shame that Strange and Beautiful is garbage in comparison to the first two albums. I'm not sure what they were thinking.
