So what vocals do you expect from Death Metal then? Uber high pitch warbling or operatic female vocals? I don't understand why you have so much against Sauron's vocals, or Death vox in general.
SculptedCold said:You're superimposing your taste over others'. I for one find Sauron very distinctive among death vocalists; maybe you just don't bother paying enough attention to notice. You're also arguing a case against the vocals that can be analogously applied to any aspect of death metal anyway. You mentioned drumming, but what's to stop that example transferring over to guitars and bass and structure and rhythm etc etc....pretty soon all you're gonna have left is no music at all. Furthermore, who are you to say what stylings suit whatever kind of band or genre of metal in general? That's your own preference, it is not some kind of objective stylistic fact that should be observed by participants in the music scene, and thereby broken somehow by a band like Decapitated who just so happen to apply a competent growl to music that, to most people, is (as a pairing) stylistically very relevant.

Death Metal is a genre of music that doesn't really have much space to change as changing the way instruments are played and the way songs are sung changes what it is. It'll no longer be Death Metal, just some farfetched hybrid style. To me it seems like you're expecting a hell of a lot from Death Metal, which has been a pretty stagnant genre for years, with only a handful of bands/album really pushing the boundries, and by that I don't mean speed. Getting faster isn't progression.
Indeed. And at 29 minutes and with at least one filler song why waste your money?lurch70 said:The Negation is quite simply a very lazy release ... I cannot believe there are two guitarists on board now and this is all we got.
Very dissapointed ...
I hope you just mean brutal death, because apart from Suffocation and Nile those band are hardly at the top of the DM pile. And as far as similar bands go Luciferion, Vital Remains and Aborted are all better than all of them excluding Suffocation. And how exacly does "Nile have the Egyptian samples" justify them being any good?SADUDE said:There are less than 10 bands practically carrying this genre on their back: Spawn of Possesssion, Cryptopsy, Suffocation, Aeon, Nile.
I'm with you buddy!SculptedCold said:Well, I still think it is an excellent album. =D At least, I enjoy it muchly in any case.
AT least Nile have putin a decent amount of effort to secure an identity of their own. The samples, their 3 vocal approach is fresh in comparison in the waters they tread.Individually their vocals offer nothing new , but the complete package of vocals offered is. Vital Remains is allright... I guess. I have the cd, I like it, but I still feel it has gotten too much credit.Necro Joe said:I hope you just mean brutal death, because apart from Suffocation and Nile those band are hardly at the top of the DM pile.
