The Official Old School Death Metal Thread

[Slayed Necros]

Eventually I ended up liking Eucharist even more that you do, seeing how they're absent from your list
And I remember mentioning Creepmime along with other Finnish OSDM bands, but apparently they're Dutch. The Greys wasn't way off then when he said they reminded him of Pestilence.

I still need to check out Gorement, Argentum and Depravity

Argentum isn't strictly old-school death metal. Ad Interitum Funebrarum is one of the most diverse metal albums I've listened to, with influences from doom, black and death metal, and masses of non-cheesy symphonics. It's one hell of an album.

oozing with atmosphere, but it has death metal in it, so I put it in there

 

[Slayed Necros]

I find Funebre to be rather mediocre. Sure, they have all the right ingredients, including killer riffs, but the production sucks, and the songs tend to go nowhere. Seance is leagues ahead, definitely give Fornever Laid to Rest another listen.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Any of you fuckers listen to Mass Psychosis yet?

 

[Eyes Of The Insane]

I love old school death metal. Massacre's From Beyond is probably my favorite death metal album.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

mmhm, how about Adramelech nobody mentioned them yetr

 

[Slayed Necros]

Adramelech is cool, but they'll always be in the shadow of Demigod.

 

[CF87]

Adramelech -psychostasia is great. I do not care for anything else from them.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Pure Blood Doom is good too, give it another chance. The EP's are worthy as well, but PsychoStasia is the best.

 

[Solipsist]

Adramelech -psychostasia is great.

Indeed. It somewhat has got this "demilich meets demigod" approach to the riffage that I find intriguing.

Torchure and Brutality are also deserving of mention in this thread... was listening to the second albums of both in the car yesterday.

Ah Brutality quality band.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Any of you fuckers listen to Mass Psychosis yet?

It's going on really soon

Btw: Adramalech is the album that bridges Demilich and Demigod. It's fucking fantastic.

Indeed. Torchure especially. 'Resort to Mortality', from their debut, is a true masterpiece.

Yeah. Psychostasia is weirder and more whacked out than Slumber of Sullen Eyes, but not as out there as Nesphite.

 

[CF87]

'As The Gods Succumbed' is probably one of the greatest death metal songs. It's really a shame both guitarists and pretty much the entire band left after Psychostasia.

 

[Matt]

Infester - used a pipe organ, primitive death metal, and long introspective instrumental passages to create total atmosphere.

.

I loved that.

Morbid Angel for me also.

 

[DarkBliss]

Torchure are great indeed with two high-quality albums under their belt.Beyond the Veil is a masterpiece. If it weren't for the bad production on The Essence I probably would've loved it as much as BtV

 

[DarkBliss]

I loved that.

Listen to Cadaver's ...In Pains then. It fucking rules

 

[byrne]

I'm listening to Uncanny - Splenium for Nyktophobia. Another underrated gem. kgo.
