The Greys is probably your best resource on this. He only likes old school death metal.

 

[Carcassian]

I'm already a big fan of them.

I'm told the Deathbreath album is a homage to very old skool death metal.

Best of old skool that springs immediately to mind -

Kaamos
Evocation
Flesh
Serpent Obscene

 

[Eyes Of The Insane]

Thanks.

 

[Carcassian]

Anytime mate. You didnt mention Bolt Thrower. Give em a whirl.

 

[Eyes Of The Insane]

I like Bolt Thrower.

I'm suprised nobody has said Torchure yet, they're usually one of the first to pop up as soon as someone mentions the words old skool death.

 

[MasterOLightning]

what is some black metal artists/albums that are similar to Deathspell Omega?

Old or new? I haven't come across anything like Kenose or the lengthy single songs. Kriegsmaschine sort of sounds like a mix of the older and newer style. I'm sure there are quite a few things sounding like the older material. Clandestine Blaze is a related band, so you might want to look into that. Check out Mgla too. The Crushing the Holy Trinity collection is a good place to start for CB and Mgla.

Oddly enough I just referenced this album in the ANUS thread. I find it quite mediocre, and more influenced by Pure Holocaust. I sort of hear the SMRC influence, but I wonder with how long it took them to get the album out if they hadn't written quite a bit of it before SMRC actually came out.

I don't get what post-rock is. I have never heard the term being used before until now.

Rock based music using electric instrumentation, but opting for a completely different aesthetic and emotional feel than typical rock music...usually it's expansive, cathartic, and epic.

Anyone suggest a site to order Negura Bunget albums from in the U.S.? Amazon has some imports, but i'm not interested in paying $20$ and ^.

i like it

 

[Slayed Necros]

I'm looking for a death metal band. Something with some old school flavor. Sounds like Gorguts, (Old) Death, Pestilence, Cancer, Massacre, Autopsy, etc.

Any suggestions?

Nocturnus - The Key
Brutality - Screams of Anguish
Seance - Fornever Laid To Rest
Loudblast - Sublime Dementia
Morpheus Descends - Ritual of Infinity
Merciless - The Awakening
Cadaver - ...In Pains
Authorize - The Source of Dominion
Afterlife - Surreality
Creepmime - Shadows
Master - On the Seventh Day God Created... Master

These seem to fit the bill accurately.

And yeah, check out Torchure.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Everything Malignance said, but add:

Massacra - Final Holocaust


EDIT: I'm not quite sure Creepmime fits to what he's looking for, but the album is great, so check it out anyways.

 

[skeptik]

And Enjoy The Violence and Signs Of The Decline

 

[swizzlenuts]

also by Massacra? I've only heard Final Holocaust.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Get Enjoy the Violence, swizzlenuts. It's just as good.

 

[Eyes Of The Insane]

I am already a fan of Massacra. Thanks for the suggestions, Malignance.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Check out Cynic - Reflections of a Dying World too. It's good death/thrash.

 

[swizzlenuts]

EDIT: it's Revenant - Prophecies of a Dying World

This is the Cynic that is really Death Metally
