For Death:

Human vs. Individual Thought Patterns: which one is better?

Human, by quite a margin.

For Death:

Human vs. Individual Thought Patterns: which one is better?

For Dissection:

How is The Somberlain? What about Reinkaos?

For Bloodbath:

Where should I begin?
.

1. Human
2. The Somberlain is one of the greatest albums ever(same with storm of the lights bane). Reinkaos is great, still different and not classic like those two.
3. Resurrecting Through Carnage

Is anyone familiar with Hellwitch and be willing to give a brief description?

Dodens convince me how good early Samael is as opposed to the Ceremony of Opposites-Eternal period.

You need convincing of CoO's superiority over 99% of black metal?

 

[zim18]

the early death compared to the human album, is incredibly different! i think human gets more respecet because it has better production

 

[zim18]

omg im hearing cradle of filths cover of hallowed be thy name on the radio, they should be shot for destroying a classic....these guys arnt even music let alone trying to be black metal

 

[unknown]

uh they should be shot period

What are some generally good death metal albums that I should check out?

Do you really need to ask this? 80% of the thread where you talk about music you like is death metal. Most of this thread is about death metal.

Spiritual Healing and Human are my equal fave Death albums because they are both so different to each other. Human is amazing because of it's technicality and brilliant musicianship, and Spiritual Healing is awesome because of the tasty riffage and brutal heaviness.

If you could PM your recommendations to me, that would be much appreciated.

Death: On par imo, for different reasons. Both quality albums though. But I'd go with Leprosy over those two if you haven't heard any Death.

Re: Dissection: Go with the Greys on this.

Bloodbath: Aren't anything more than ok. I wouldn't start as there are many better albums out there in a similar vain, or perhaps I should say that Bloodbath try to emulate (Dismember, Entombed, Grave, God Macabre etc.)

Other recommendation: Miasma - Changes.

Just buy it, I'm too lazy to describe the music.

What the hell are you talking about?

I think it quite obvious

Ceremony of Opposites is better than 99% of black metal.

And of all black metal out there, from shitty bedroom black metal to overrated acts like BLut Aus Nord and Deathspell Omega to classic bands like Immortal and Darkthrone, 1% is actually quite a lot.

You're so wrong.

World Below - Sacrifices to the Moon, Maelstrom / traditional doom

yay or nay?

 

[CF87]

I need some melodic black metal or melodic darkened death metal metal with some keyboards, by keyboards I don't mean symphonic. I don't want clicky production either. Make sure it's something where I can find mp3s or cd so I can buy and listen to it in my room. thanks for anyone who helps.

That's fine. I'd rather be wrong in this case, then. Go listen to your deathspell and bluts. enjoy and be ignorant

 

[Killbot]

Recommend me some Death Metal with deep guttural vocals, I mean seriously deep, like the Sanatorium guy when he's doing deep vocals deep. Super awesome drumming would also be nice.

 

[Wires & Waves]

Agreed. Comparing Dead Can Dance and Fields of the Nephilim is comparing two quite different things. Both are great bands, Fields have some quality material but I find a lot of their albums are inconsistent - containing exceptionally pants-jizzing awesome songs with ones that bore me.

A good article to find out more about similar bands and a lot of electronica is here. Click hardcore, then click EBM, and there is descriptions of different styles (industrial, industrial rock, EBM, electro industrial, futurepop, synthpop, goth, ethereal, darkwave, coldwave, experimental, darksynth - if any of these appeal to you, check the site for a list of bands and streaming samples). I've been told it's fairly accurate, so check it out. Edit: Except for the "insightful"-ly biased descriptions of genres at times, which is annoying. But listen to the tunes and get a feel for it.

pretty much all "dark" electronic music is fucking cheesy garbage imo.....except dubstep (specifically Burial) but that's a much more gritty and urban kind of darkness rather than the fantastical gothiness of the genres you mentioned.....imo :I

edit: i guess we can agree on ishkur being a dick though
