Reccomend me some death metal

[in_my_time_of_disease]

^I was wondering why no one had mentioned Akercocke yet, although not a straight forward death metal band, they dominate most imo.

 

[Novak]

Origin, Allfader

 

[xytras]

Opeth, Edge Of Sanity & Amon Amarth all you need

 

[bens0n]

Decrepit Birth - diminishing between worlds

 

[Gëist]

By the way, can SepticFlesh be considered death metal?

 

[blade-bunny]

Hypocrisy which plays a rather melodic version of death metal, but not quite melo-death. And Into Eternity that plays progressive metal with an awesome range of vocals.

 

[BrutalD]

Devourment. They are definitely "gore-and-guts" crap but they are immense.
Also Behemoth.

Hour of Penance - The Vile Conception

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

Death, Cynic, Atheist, Morbid Angel...why these bands have barely been mentioned but shit like suicide silence and bjfac gets mentioned...beyond me.

 

[JoeVice]

demelich - they only have one album

morbid angel - i've never heard their first album, but love the others...especially covenant, gateways, domination and formulas...gateways is prolly my all time favorite death metal album.

cryptopsy - the one with the train on the cover

Demonoid is also good fun. It's probably one of the only death-growling bands that I enjoy listening to regularly. They've only released a single album, Riders of the Apocalypse, based on the tale of the four hoursemen. It has some parts in it with really good atmosphere, and the solos are wild and fun. It's a side project of Therion, if that rings a bell, but it's definetly not anything like Therion

Cheers for all the reccomendations guys, I think I'll start with the big dogs i.e. Morbid Angel, Death, Cryptopsy, Atheist etc. as these seem to be regarded as 'pioneers' in the genre.

But by all means, keep the suggestions coming, the more recommendations I get, the better.

 

[BrutalD]

Listen to Behemoth

 

[serenity_painted_death27]

Oh, and if you could suggest any albums by the bands I mentioned, that would be awesome.

The more progressive/technical, the better!

 

[Travis]

Besides Death/Cynic/Atheist which you should already have down... (EDIT:: though, with Death, if you're looking for a brutal death metal sound, go for their earlier stuff. Start with Human and Individual Thought Patterns.)

Cryptopsy's two albums None so Vile and Whisper Supremacy is a good start. Some Suffocation too, Pierced from Within is a good one. Gorguts is good, look for The Erosion of Sanity or the album before it, dunno the name of it but you can google it. Also google the band Origin. Cephalic Carnage's new album Xenosapien is pretty sweet, as with the older Lucid Interval. Severe Torture' Feasting on Blood is pretty brutal. Some older Cannibal Corpse wouldn't hurt you. And if you can get your hands on Wormed's Planesphaerium, you'd be doing yourself a favor.

Don't forget Terrestrial Sphere; the logo in my sig is a link.

 

[serenity_painted_death27]

Ok cool thanks a lot.

Just listened to some Atheist, and the vocals are horrible! Listening to Cryptopsy now, sounding pretty promising. Morbid Angel didn't do much for me, sounded like pretty standard death metal to be honest.

 

[JoeVice]

ok, if you like cryptopsy, you don't so much like standard death metal, but you like technical, check out "and then you'll beg." definetely not standard death metal, even the vocals.

 

[Travis]

I won't lie - Atheist is a bit of an acquired taste. Once you get past the 80's-ness of it, it's actually pretty good stuff. Kinda like Cynic, you hate the robot vocals the first few listens, but the rest of the music is so good that you can get used to it.

Just remembered Blotted Science. Ron Jarzombek, Alex Webster, and Charlie Zeleny; it's like Behold the Spastic Corpse. Definitely worth a listen.

I dunno if this is really up your alley, but Mucopus is a band from around here that's done a few European tours...great bass player plus the singer of Skinless, kinda slammy sort of stuff.
