what was the first ever death metal song you listened to?

[SuicideMachine]

Possibly "The Blessed Dead" by Nile. Yep I'm new to death metal!

i do remember seeing a black and white cannibal corpse video (i would LOVE to know what this was if anyone can tell me) and being very interested in it.

 

[Utuk Xul]

Immortal Rites by Morbid Angel.

 

[Sonicarnal Artist]

Morbid Angel - 'Rapture'

 

[ShadowOfDeath]

Nile - Unas slayer of the gods or Black seeds of vengeace

 

[SuicideMachine]

I'm guessing it was the Devoured by Vermin clip, from the Vile album....was there blood spitting and some really crazy bass-playing?

first DM song: "The Enemy Inside" by Six Feet Under in 1996 when I was only 12 years old.....and I never looked back.

Don't know if they'd be considered death metal (I don't bother much with trying to classify into a bunch of sub genres) but the first song that got me to realize that maybe I should look into this whole "death metal" thing...was Sarcastic Existence by Sepultura. That song kicks ass!

 

[Digital Prophecy]

I was 14 years old when I saw the Carcass' Heartwork video on....Beavis & Butthead.
So, I thought what I heard of the song was really, really good, and I bought Heartwork a few days later, and to this day, it's still one of my my favorite CD's.

Come to think of it, Beavis and Butthead played a lot of cool DM videos when I was 14.
Other videos I saw on that show were Morbid Angel's 'God of Emptiness', Death's 'The Philosopher',and Cannibal Corpse's 'Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead', and soon after, I checked out all of these bands, and I still love Death Metal.

Oddly enough, I guess I have MTV to thank for getting me into death metal.
Weird.

 

[Rottuated]

It was either Hammer Smashed Face or Shredded Humans, both by Cannibal Corpse.

 

[mutilated_mistress]

Mortician - Chainsaw Dismemberment

 

[Raumien]

Some Macabre stuff.

 

[megamich]

Dead Eternity - In Flames

 

[manuelgv]

John Doe from Testament's Demonic.

 

[wolfborn]

The first one that really impressed me was Carcass' "Reek of Putrefaction". The whole "Symphonies of Sickness" album was a blast when I got it around 1990.

 

[Darth Kur]

anyone know what the black and white CC vid was??

It was "Staring Through The Eyes OF The Dead" from The Bleeding album.
I taped it off of Headbangers Ball when it came out. It was the last damn video they played that night, about 2 or 3 in the morning, and I think that's the first and only time they ever played it too.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

shit yeah!!! Hammer Smashed Face!!!

 

[Decepticon]

Hammer Smashed Face.

The 'nu'-headbanger's ball actually played 'Staring Through The Eyes of the Dead' last weekend, but it was just because they were having an interview with Chris Barnes. 'twas odd.

 

[Mournful Death]

Thanks to Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Cannibal Corpse's Hammer Smashed Face was my first taste of death metal. The first death metal song I sought out on KaZaa I think was from Morbid Angel's Blessed Are The Sick album.
