The Official Recommendation Thread

[Jean-Pierre]

For speed try Secret Sphere.

Oh fuck no. DEATH TO FLOWERCORE.

 

[ProjectedBlack]

Brainstorm, Edguy, Hammerfall, Helloween, Luca Turilli, Persuader and Rhapsody for Power Metal

I don't think anyone through in The Crown or Zyklon for Death/Black Metal

Vintersorg, Ensiferum, Ephel Duath, Summoning (shoot, already got this one, sorry) and Turisas would be a good addition to Black/Folk/Viking

 

[Intoxicator]

Try Anima Damnata for some insanely brutal death metal.

 

[Christie_fell]

even you like the helloween riff.

 

[Melodeath]

Finally, the thread seems to be heading in the direction it was intended to. Thanks.

(hopefully I didn't just "jinx" it)

[Melodeath]

I just realized that I don't own much Death Metal. I've heard a good million and a half albums, but I don't actually own that many. Maybe I should pull a Dodens and start buying some...I think the reason I haven't is the fact that it's so creatively dead nowadays.

I agree in part with Atlas Shrugged. That first list of bands was crap. How can anyone recommend that many bands and blindly say that they are all good.

Anyway, I recommend Alchemist - Lunasphere and Organasm are my favourites of theirs.

 

[no country for old wainds]

I'll give you a ton later when I'm not at school doing coursework. :/

That's no reason to not hoard the classics from '89-'93

WOO TOTAL AND COMPLETE ENTOMBED CLONERY WHAT FUN

Again, the point is to provide a comprehensive list b/c most of you have probably heard most of the bands listed. You have to have a big list b/c you don't know everything everyone has heard.

Obviously. The bulk of the Death Metal I do own comes from that period.
