what? it's not one band, it's a huge collection of albums.
i can't think of an clear way of describing such a variety of album's "type" of atmosphere besides what i already said:
go, pick something and listen!
I've been enjoying Malleus Maleficarum (not Pestilence album), trash influenced black metal from France.I have two albums and plan on getting the new one as well.
For those not familiar with this band, you can download some samples here...
Malleus Maleficarum
I can't stand Chuck's vocals on that album. That is what ruins it most for me. IMO Human is Death's best album.tsop is clearly the worst of death. its outright boring. the songs are poorly written and are generic as fuck. although the cover of painkiller is absolutely killer.
the rest of death's catalogue rules though. you cant really severely flaw anything between scream bloody gore and symbolic, as the music ranges from good through to brilliant (see "pull the plug")

Oh and I've listened to VC many times already. It doesn't get old.
Yeah, the drumming is the absolute highlight of TSOP...Christy is great. However, almost everyone else falls short, though the bass is of course quite good. All of the songs are pretty damn wanky and Chuck...well, Chuck sucked by then...
"one of dooms most capable guitarists, Ilia Rodriguez" - I'm sure he'd be pretty chuffed with that remark!
