I really don't listen to any straight death metal bands, besides some melodeath like Arch Enemy and Scar Symmetry. That really needs to change.

LudwigVan · « **Reply #3 on:** July 01, 2009, 11:07:52 AM »

Some Tech Death that I've gotten into:

Gorod
Martyr (2 harsh vocalists)
Necophagist
Spawn of Possession

Any Nile fans on here?

They're pretty much the only extreme heavy metal band I listen to.

pogoowner · « **Reply #7 on:** July 01, 2009, 06:02:22 PM »

Opeth and Bloodbath are the only bands I listen to that would really count... And I don't listen to Bloodbath all that often.

Wtf is a death metal bamd? Also, you must not know all that much death metal if you think that Bloodbath is the only one that is possible to understand.

Anyways...death metal = awesomeness.
My favourite death metal bands:
Morbid Angel
Carcass
Cannibal Corpse
Bolt Thrower
The Berzerker
Deicide
Opeth
Children of Bodom (fuck everyone calling them power metal, I consider them melodic death)
Bloodbath

All badass bands with some badass music.

...How can you not understand Morbid Angel? David Vincent has a pretty clear death growl.

How about Amon Amarth? Their vocalist has a pretty clear vocal style.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #13 on:** July 01, 2009, 06:41:21 PM »

Death metal becomes much easier to understand after you've listened for a while. Listening while looking at the lyrics also helps. You can begin to understand what certain words sound like, a decoder if you will.

Don't really consider myself a DM fan, but my favorites are:

Opeth
Death
Cynic
Early Katatonia
Agalloch (dunno if you consider them Death, more like Black/Doom)

Not really. Now, I'm not an expert of death metal. But I do know death metal when I hear it. A majority of death metal derived from heavy influences of thrash metal. Incorporating fast riffs, often low tuned and distorted guitars, with some form of growling/shrieking (whether it be very guttural or high pitched). Also the use of blast beats is very common among most death metal.

Subject matter of most death metal usually deals with much darker topics, such as death, destruction, violence/war, occultism, etc.. And other often considered taboo subjects like satanism.

Things you do not see in death metal: Singers with whiney voices or who do any sort of screamo type vocals.
Lyrics that involve personal problems like losing someone you love or feeling alone.
Most attributes that makes up a metalcore/deathcore/screamo/FALSE METAL band.

I have their one DVD set. Seven hours for $20, talk about a deal.

I like Nile and Bloodbath (and Opeth ofc) but that's about it. I guess I like breaks of melodic / quiet sections...

So Opeth isn't Death Metal?

I was wondering if someone would pick up on that. My above description was mainly describing your average death metal band. What MOST death metal usually contains (Basically, sweeping generalizations).

Opeth on the other hand is part of another sub-genre of death metal called Progressive (and even melodic) death metal. A lot of the subject matter is of a different grouping compared to your average death metal band. This also goes for bands such as Children of Bodom, who too have more personal lyrics within their music.

SeRoX · « **Reply #26 on:** July 02, 2009, 05:03:54 PM »

I can't find myself enjoy Death Metal while listening some examples of this genre. Nile maybe good for me but like I said; can't get into it.

RobD · « **Reply #27 on:** July 02, 2009, 05:13:38 PM »

Recently got the Fleshgod Apocalypse album based on a thread here about them. Awesomely brutal album.

Lol.
Reminds me of incredibly misinformed assholes that I used to meet when I was a metal-head.

Them: What music you into?
Me: Mostly Death Metal
Them: OMFG you like killing people?
Me: Wut
Them: Yeh it's all those goths that kill people and have sex with dead babies and stuff
Me: ...wut
Them: You're such a weirdo. How can you listen to that stuff?
Me: Boo!
Them: AAAAAH!

El Barto · « **Reply #29 on:** July 03, 2009, 10:07:09 AM »

I haven't enjoyed the genre in many years. However, Spiritual Healing should be required listening, IMO.

Bombardana · « **Reply #30 on:** July 03, 2009, 10:55:16 AM »

I greatly enjoy a bit of Amon Amarth or Cannibal Corpse.

and Opeth if they countof tuscany.

carl320 · « **Reply #31 on:** July 03, 2009, 10:30:04 PM »

Carcass is recommended. Nectrocism is an excellent album.

Apart from that, not much else, although I'd like to get into Septic FLesh.

I don't really consider Opeth death metal. They're more prog metal imo.

Usually if someone asks me to describe Opeth I saw they're a combination of Death Metal, Progressive Metal, Progressive Rock, and Folk with some ambiance thrown in. This usually leaves whoever I tell this to even more puzzled about Opeth. $:-\$

Napster of Puppets · « **Reply #33 on:** July 04, 2009, 06:27:16 AM »

Dying Fetus are possibly my all time favorite DM band. Their mixture of brutality, dual vox attack and groovy passages on their early stuff is priceless. Recently they cut out the groove aspect of their music, but they still kick major ass.

I'm also really fond of:

Impaled (I recommend this for all you Carcass fans out there)
Autopsy
Cephalic Carnage
Nile
Lykathea Aflame
Spawn Of Possession
Death
Misery Index
Devourment
Disavowed

All in all, Death Metal just plain rocks.
