You can get a copy of Still Life at the majority of cd stores, but if not you could get it dirt cheap on ebay.

I'd prefer not to use ebay. I just want to know what the good sites to order from are, but I'd like to avoid digging through God knows how many pages of God knows how many threads.

I found them generic and almost crappy. Funebre-children of the scorn is far superior finnish death metal. I am surprised Malignance does not think to highly of this album.

Meh, Children of the Scorn is an ok album, but the bad production gives me a headache.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

tell me some good bands that are very similar to later death metal era behemoth (I have already heard nile and morbid angel)

Franz Ferdinand

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

[Mort Divine]

Franz Ferdinand is good, later Behemoth isn't.

 

[Cythraul]

Franz Ferdinand is good

lol

 

[Zhou Tai 04]

Can someone recommend me some good modern death metal? Bands like mithras, drawn and quartered, decapitated (first 2 albums) or anything brutal, technical as long as it has a good production.

Definitely check out Disavowed and Inveracity. Pillory, Amok (Switzerland), and Beneath the Massacre might also fit the bill.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

later Behemoth isn't.

if by "isn't" you mean is one of the best death metal bands in the world right now, I totally agree with ya

come on guys tell me bands very similar to behemoth

Vader, early Decapitated (Poland), and Dies Irae (Poland) are all I can think of.

zos kia cultus is easily in my top 5 of all time

fuckin' brilliant

 

[CF87]

Zos kia cultus is good for newer modern death metal but I got sick of it very fast because the production. I guess I am just not really into newer polished death metal. Behemoth's follow up Demigod just sounds like left overs and people make it out to be some masterpiece.

Do you like the older gritty production of bands like grave and such? I always liked that production a lot as well, really adds a lot of crushing heaviness and overall dark atmosphere. However I also like clean polished production such a behemoth as well

 

[CF87]

I like older gritty average natural sounding production jobs that somewhat resemble what instruments sound like if you were just playing. I do like some modern well produced albums but once drums sound clicky and like a type writer an album gets ruined.

 

[CF87]

You can't write off subgenres like that, because taste is totally subjective. I personally hate power metal but I'm not going to say a power metal fan is wrong when they like Blind Guardian more than Cryptopsy. I like Cryptopsy more but I'm not right, there is no right.

Brutal death metal does not sound musically coherent nor are the songs distinguishable enough from each other for me. I don't find palm mutes for 30 minutes with notes and tremolo picking inbetween to be appealing especially when the muting and notes sound random. I don't hear harmony which I believe makes songs sound different and individual parts stand out.

In-Quest - Epileptic

 

[I-Oblivion-I]

Yes just tried out that in-quest album and honestly it didn't do anything for me, it sounds too much like new aborted with the vocals and the kinda melo-death riffs, is their old stuff any better?

hahaha, Polished, HAAHAHAHAA....

that album rules, though. The production is perfect for that album
