what makes a band death metalYou wanna take this one, Lat?
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.what makes a band death metalYou wanna take this one, Lat?

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.

So Opeth isn't Death Metal?
most of the time i hear a band they cal death metal they growl and the lyrics talk about necrophilia and satanism or anti christian
I don't really consider Opeth death metal. They're more prog metal imo.
Recently got the Fleshgod Apocalypse album based on a thread here about them. Awesomely brutal album. :2metal:

Most random album ever. Those classical passages slay me.
Any Nile fans on here?
They're pretty much the only extreme heavy metal band I listen to.
Carcass is recommended. Nectrocism is an excellent album.Necroticism = Awesomeness X10. Another good album from Carcass would be Heartwork. Their other stuff is more grindcore, but still not too bad.
Apart from that, not much else, although I'd like to get into Septic FLesh.
Favourite song is Lashed to the Slave StickAny Nile fans on here?
They're pretty much the only extreme heavy metal band I listen to.
Nile is pretty fucking awesome.
Simply put... Death Metal fucking rocks...All of this.
Fuck all the misinformed assholes who stereotype DM...
So I realized I posted in this thread without posting what bands I listen to...mostly Opeth, Death, Scar Symmetry, Amorphis, and BTBAM (I am fully aware that 4/5 of those aren't 100% death metal...is BTBAM even death metal?)NO! BTBAM is progressive metalcore.
I haven't been able to get into any of the more brutal death metal, though.

I have all of those bands. I didn't realize you guys were talking about melodic Death metal. I thought you meant the grindy-melody-less stuff, like Behemoth, etc.
I really love Atheist's album Unquestionable Presence! Great stuff! :metal
haha! That's awesome man! It does leave you wanting more though. I just found this band called Augury. Great band. Some really awesome bass playing!I really love Atheist's album Unquestionable Presence! Great stuff! :metal
I was literally just about to post in this thread about that very album...
The album's a little on the short side, but that just leaves you wanting more :metal
Awesome stuff.
EP is a great album. Just a notch above Kill, which was also fantastic.Yeah man I love Kill as well. Eric Rutan did an amazing job as producer. I would love to see CC work with him once again on their next album. Those guitar tones on Kill and Evisceration Plague are brutal!
So I got Altars of Madness by Morbid Angel today. If these guys haven't already climbed up the ranks as my personal favourite death metal band, then they are there now.Altars is the best them as far as early death metal goes, or at least it would be if Leprosy didn't exist.

I can kind of get behind this.

Eluveitie - Folk metal. They might have a melodic death metal sounding vocalist, but they aren't what I'd categorize as death metal.
Ensiferum - This is arguable. One one hand, they are a melodic death metal band, on the other hand, they are more folk than anything else.
Lamb of God - How in the FUCK can you say that LoG is death metal? They are modern day thrash.
Strapping Young Lad - Extreme Metal =/= Death metal. They have a lot of death metal qualities to their music, but they aren't death metal.
Also, one I'm not sure about is Light this City. I don't know what they sound like, but a quick google search says metalcore. So I don't know.
Eh, you can argue Eluveitie and Ensiferum as melodic death, which I have no issue with.

Death metal vocals can't sound evil? huhI was thinking the same thing, but black metal always sounds much more evil than death metal.

Yeah, a great intense tech death band. Day 69 is one the most best death metal songs ever.lol
I'm listening to Planetary Duality by The Faceless right now, and all I have to say is:

So, thread revival.
With that out of the way, the most recent thing I've explored as far as death metal is concerned is Gorefest. The only reason this band interested me is because Ed Warby (of Ayreon) is the drummer. They're considered to be "Death N' Roll" which is exactly what it sounds like. If rock n roll and death metal had a child, this is what it would be. It's actually rather interesting, and pretty :metal too. The only potential speedbump is the singer's voice, which as Lat said, "sounds like something's stuck in his throat".
Here's a song off of their "Soul Survivor" album.

Nicholas Cage's son is in a blackened death metal band called Eyes Of Noctum who rock. I saw them live and met him (his son), and he's a really cool guy. Check them out, they're :metal ... and I generally don't like death metal.

No problem. I saw them and met Cage's son (the frontman), and he's a cool guy. As you'd expect from a rich man's son to be (and maybe not a metal frontman to be), he's a super smart, intellectual guy. We saw a big bus pull up to this little local venue no bigger than two normal rooms put together, and we're all like "Who the hell are these guys?", and then someone told us that it was Nicholas Cage's son's band, and that explained it all.They are badass man, thanks for saying something about them.ThatSome death metal I've checked out lately is Death's Human, Spiritual Healing, Leprosy, and Akeldama (The Faceless).

I'd like to take the time to mention Human. It marks the transition to technical metal while maintaining the brutality of death metal, something the latter albums lack a bit imo.I just want to say that loltards of madness is awesome.

Also, Altars Of Madness :metal

Decapitated, anyone?The album "Winds of Creation" is excellent.

I've mentioned this before about Death's last few albums as well. I love Symbolic , Individual Thought Patterns and Sound Of Perseverance, but the music has morphed into something other than death metal. The playing is very clean, the production quite polished, and Chuck's vocals are more like a raspy whisper than a true death growl. The music is more acrobatic than brutal.
hmmmm I am probably going to be shot for saying this...
I'm not big into death metal. The only bands that would qualify are local bands that you probably have never heard of... Great for releasing energy at shows though
am i late for the party?

That's a very good description. I for one, loved what they morphed into on TSOP.

I guess it depends on what you grew up on. Once Chuck started getting screechier, it stopped being Death to me.
Decapitated, anyone?The album "Winds of Creation" is excellent.
Some awesome metal bands that i listen to are:Needs moar Death.
Melechesh
Amon Amarth
Arch Enemy
Before the Dawn
Chimaira
Testament
Dimmu Borgir
Opeth
Scar Symmetry
SOILWORK
Xerath
I would definately recommend Melechesh and Xerath though
So what does everyone think of the samples from the new Decapitated? I'm so excited, already pre-ordered my bundle package.

is there any death metal without growls?
is there any death metal without growls?
What's wrong with growls?
Nevermore has some heavy moments that borderline death metal heavy, and they are all clean vocals. They ARE NOT death metal, but once again, are extremely heavy in a very similar sense at times.Basically this
I love Nevermore!! :metal :metal :metalWe will get along.
Everyone shut up and listen to Nile.
Swallow the Sun?Doom metal.
ATTN: Cole
Death - The sound of Perseverance
is there any death metal without growls?
No, but there is Death Metal where the growls aren't as growly. Listen to Sepultura and Gojira.
What?
Well, Sepultura is definitely thrash but Beneath the Remains is arguably a death metal album stylistically. As for Gojira, they are mostly groove metal, but a lot of their influence and style is and comes from death metal.What?
Those two bands aren't death metal.
checked out The Faceless, and they are INTENSE!Good on you.
Well, I checked out Necrophagist and The Faceless, and they are INTENSE!Glad you liked em.
I thank you, guy above me, for the recommendations, and will certainly end up exploring more into tech death.
What's wrong with growls?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8tc55XBPxUWhoa, you're alive.
Would I be mistaken to label Trivium as Death metal?Thrash influenced metalcore.
Are they more thrash?
I've listened a couple cd's now and I get a metallica meets Opeth sort of feel to them
Yep. Maybe a total of 7 posts in the last year though :lolNice :metal :metal :metal
@Origin dude, saw them the other day. They were pretty incredible. Vital Remains was awesome that show as well.
This is me when I first hear of Scar Symmetry's Holographic Universe:

Here's me when I listen to it:
(https://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/145678/head-banging-animated-image-31000.gif)
Now here's me when I go home to look them up, and find out that the singer, who pretty much made the album for me, is gone:

'World Under Blood'
this is CKY singer/guitarist Deron Miller's new band. not sure if its 100% death metal, but hes a fan of bands like death, pestilence, etc. and the drummer is Tim Yeung from morbid angel, hate eternal, etc.

It has been decided. Ghost Prototype II is the most epic song ever.

I have Pitch Black Progress and love it. For a while it was all I listened to. Amazing album :metal
I hear a lot of good about Holographic Universe, maybe I should check it out.
Bump because I am borrowing my Dad's iPod and found he has a band I've been meaning to listen to for a while; The Haunted. The album title intrigued me. The Haunted Made Me Do It. It's quite good. Very thrashy at times, and has a bit of a melodic death feel here and there. I am enjoying this.
:metal :metal :metal
just sent this to Ariich in his roulette.>Asking Alexandria
Asking Alexandria, the song was Closure.
put, growlers, screamers, high school clean vocals, quality riffage, and......TECHNO...together. Instant musical chaos.
I love it.
Be glad that Alexandria is all the way out in the 318 then :metardica:

Scourge of Iron is cool. I love when Cannibal Corpse gets all slow and groovy. They pull it off well.Listened to this song probably 5 times now, and I love it more each time, hyping the shit out of Torture still.
Throw me some recs.Trepalium was pretty groovy and cool.
Any Decapitated fans around here? They're pretty awesome.Oh god yes Carnival is Forever was amazing :metal

I've actually never heard Gorod, but I'm on a death metal kick, so I'm down for it. Would that album be a good starting point?Gorod is great! Disavow your God is a great album.
I'm spinning 2012 death metal all day today. Cattle Decapitation, Cannibal Corpse, and whatever else I decide to listen to when I get home. Throw me some recs.
Anyone into Septic Flesh (or Septicflesh, for their newer releases)? Their album "Sumerian Daemons" is one of my all time favourites. Listen to the tracks "Virtues of the Beast" and "When All Is None". :metalI've only heard The Great Mass and Communion and I think they're fantastic albums. No other symphonic death metal I've comes close to them. Plus the vocalist's growls are just top notch. :hefdaddy
Also, the album "Of Breath and Bone" by Be'lakor is amazing melodic death metal, well worth a listen.
But you can take any kind of metal, add growls and it's death metal.
Yes of course you can throw in all sorts to the equation, and it comes out something death metal.
As for Epica, I have never thought of them as anything death at all.
I propose a definition. Not everything that has growling vocals is death metal, but all death metal has growling vocals.
Yes of course you can throw in all sorts to the equation, and it comes out something death metal.
As for Epica, I have never thought of them as anything death at all.
Well, in that case, the growling vocals don't always turn something into Death metal.
Not when they are the second vocalist, adding a line here and there.
Hey guys, really vague question here. Does anyone know of a jazz/death metal band that was incredibly jazzy, very progressive, and only mildly death metal? I heard a few songs of this band on YT a few months ago, and loved them. But now I can't remember the name. I think their album cover was white with some dark green flowery patterns.
Just a random question for you all, but I feel like it's a legitimate one.
My girlfriend claims she can understand the lyrics to a death metal song upon first listen, without any trouble. Im not sure if I believe her, tbh, but maybe its possible. She spent pretty much her entire life listening to deathcore and death metal so she very well may have developed a knack for that.
Is that actually more common than I realize? I mean, I love death metal as well, but I cant understand most of the lyrics at all. Some bands are easier to distinguish the lyrics with, such as Scar Symmetry and Opeth, but alot of bands I have to look up the lyrics because I cant make out a damn word. Is it easy for anyone here to understand what the vocalist is saying, or do you have to actually look up the words as well?Hey guys, really vague question here.

was it, like, one of those deathcore/djent bands that put their 18 minute EPs on YouTube? Because eventually just clicking through related videos on those can lead to whatever your looking for, if thats the case.
Been listening to Isis lately. Apparently the vocalist doesn't even really try pronouncing the words, he just kind of goes with feeling and makes sounds a lot of the time.Great post! Isis are amazing, one of my favorite bands. The only album of theirs I don't really care for is Celestial. The rest are golden though.
But they do have lyrics. I came across some of them....and they were incredible. Really, really beautiful lyrics. Makes the songs so much more interesting know that such words are part of it.

Yeah, I listened to the Palms record a few times and thought it was pretty solid, just not as solid as my favorite Isis albums or the last Deftones album for that matter. I remember "Future Warrior" and "Patagonia" were my favorite tracks off of it though so I definitely recommend you give those ones a listen, if not the whole album.Been listening to Isis lately.

Yea I havn't listened to too much of their stuff yet. I'm really digging the album Wavering Radiant. Ghost Key is such a hypnotic and beautiful song. I love the sound of the beginning. And i love the way the bass guitar is incorporated into their music; same way i feel about Tool, whose bass player actually recorded some parts for Wavering Radiant. I think he was on Ghost Key actually. His style is pretty distinctive.
And their lyrics! So great! And althought i love these guys, i can't help but feel that their music could be better and taken to a whole new level with clean vocals, or at least cleaner vocals.
I know they split up. Have you heard of Palms? The Isis guys collaborated with Chino from Deftones and recorded an album under the name Palms. I'v yet to hear it, but get the impression that it has a similar direction to the music they made as Isis. I'm not sure if it is a real band or just a side project. But like i said, the only downside i find with Isis was the vocals, so Chino + Isis? I'm in. But I'm not expecting it to just be Isis style song just with Chino singing. I'm assuming the disbanded Isis for other different musical endeavors.
Swedish progressive melodic death metallers SCAR SYMMETRY are working on a concept album trilogy, "The Singularity". The first of the three albums, "The Singularity (Phase I: Neohumanity)", will be released later in the year.
Comments SCAR SYMMETRY guitarist Per Nilsson: "Last year, Henrik [Ohlsson, drums] approached me with this super-cool lyrical concept that was so complex and vast in scope that we realized it was a story that couldn't be told in just one album. So, the decision was made: instead of writing a new album, we started working on a trilogy of albums — the most ambitious project of our career.
"In the coming decades, we will see the rise of artificial intelligence and transhumanism. Humanity will build artilects (artificial intellects) with mental capacities far above the human level of thought. By the year 2030, one of the world's biggest industries will be 'artificial brains,' used to control artilects that will be genuinely intelligent and useful. Millions of people will be prepared to spend more money on an artilect than on a car.
"So in about a decade there will be a thriving artificial brain industry, and nearly everyone will have an artilect which will be upgraded every two or three years. Each new artilect generation will be smarter and more useful than the previous generation, so that as the gap between the human intelligence level and the artificial intelligence level gets smaller every year, the species dominance debate will increase.
"There will be those who embrace the new technology and those who oppose it. There will also be those who add artilectual components to their own bodies, aiming to become artilect gods themselves.
"The rise of the artilects and cyborgs will be disruptive to human culture, creating alienation and hatred. Children infused with artilectual nanotechnology and components will become dead to their parents as they see their offspring turn into cyborgs because they are no longer human, but an artilect in human disguise. Those who oppose the cyborgs and artilects will have to strike early in the oncoming conflict or they will be overthrown by the superior artificial species. Add to this the advances in cryonics and cloning where minds can be downloaded and uploaded into eternal physical life and we see a very different reality emerge on earth.
"The singularity is here, technocalypse and cybergeddon emerges!"

Isis is great. Ghost Key is one of my favorite songs.
I bet they have a lot of issues with categorization. Like, should they tour with death metal bands and whatnot.
Bloodbath sounding rather good live in 2018.

I haven't seen much of this video, but I love it. Nick Holmes is the best thing to happen to this band. His voice truly sounds like the earth opened up and is coming straight from hell and their last two albums are awesome. He's also the reason for them playing more live shows - he's pushed them to be a live band when their schedules all line up.
I couldn't find the extreme metal thread, so here goes, it does have deathy vocals.
Easily one of the most anticipated releases of the year for me.
https://youtu.be/l_7pxaS6aOE
I believe that the album version of this song is 36 minutes long.
Once again I stumbled upon a band i've heard of but never listen to Equilibrium. Cool stuff, will check them out some more.
Deicide are solid. I'm really digging "In the Minds of Evil" right now. There's just too many vocal lines covering up the great music with them.
Decapitated have put out some brilliant albums as they evolved from technical death metal to some kind of death/groove/ almost Slipknot style.
This song has insane riffs:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL-SJSvEfnw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL-SJSvEfnw)
I really like speed and aggression over technicality, so more into death-thrash like old Sepultura, Vomitory, Carnal Forge, old Soilwork...
I do love Sepultura before they went tribal. I love all Soilwork. The last death metal show I went to was Whitechapel! They were incredible!

Actually it's been around since the late 80s . . .
The older I get, the more I find these labels hilarious. Especially when you watch them change completely over the course of 30-40 years.
Heavy metal becomes not heavy metal. Thrash metal becomes heavy metal. Black metal becomes thrash metal. etc etc
The older I get, the more I find these labels hilarious. Especially when you watch them change completely over the course of 30-40 years.
They sound funny but it's important to classify different styles of metal as there are definitely "branches" and a ton of diversity within the genre.
"Brown dwarf" sounds funny as hell but it's an official astronomical classification specifically named that way to help organize those objects.Heavy metal becomes not heavy metal. Thrash metal becomes heavy metal. Black metal becomes thrash metal. etc etc
Not true. Every legit metalhead who knows what the subgenres were 40 years ago will still tell you, while a few things have evolved, very little has changed in the main characteristics of each subgenre.; thrash is still thrash, black is black, etc...
The confusion stems from the fact that, IMO, death metal EVOLVED from thrash, so early death metal is hard to distinguish from heavy/extreme thrash.
Death-thrash is my favorite style because it has characteristics of both. Old Sepultura is classic example of death thrash. A modern example would be a band like Dew-Scented:

Serious question. If you walked into a record store in 1978, and went to the “heavy metal” section. What do you think was in that section? Just a single pocket with just Judas Priest and Black Sabbath?
When Venom first released Black Metal, and before anything else happened…do you think that was considered “black metal”?
But it did exist. People just move the goal posts as bands got heavier. Thus…my original point.
But it did exist. People just move the goal posts as bands got heavier. Thus…my original point.
I remember very well. And yes they did move the gauge as bands got heavier. Slayer and Maiden were in the same section in the early 80's.
Corlis, I’m imagining that you’re not very old, so I’ll just tell you straight up as someone who was there….in record stores in the late 70s and very early 80s.
Most record stores DID have a heavy metal section. At that time, the things you would find in the section clearly labeled “heavy metal” were bands like Aerosmith, AC/DC, Deep Purple, Ted Nugent and other things like that that today would be considered “rock n roll” or possibly “hard rock” at best.
But it did exist. People just move the goal posts as bands got heavier. Thus…my original point.
Oh brother.
More and more I’m seeing what happens (not just in music, but seemingly in everything) when people think they know more about the way things happened in the past than the people who actually lived through it.
Oh well.

Oh well.
I'm seeing people who think they know more about subgenres of metal than the people who actually listen to those subgenres.
I lived through the last 30 years of thrash and it hasn't changed.
I lived through the last 25 years of death metal and it hasn't changed.
Sure, back when metal was a brand new thing and still branching out from hard rock, I don't doubt that the genres were fluid and loosely defined. But shortly after that, once each subgenre developed, it mostly stopped changing.
You sound like someone who never actually got into thrash, death, black, etc... enough to A) truly understand the differences between them and B) that the characteristics of each have remained unchanged for ~30 years.
Merry christmas.
Look, I am going to take a step back and apologize if I sound condescending. But it really does irritate me when somebody treats me like I don’t know what I’m talking about when I have absolutely been there, lived through it, bought the T-shirt, you name it.
I was buying this stuff and trading the tapes most likely before you were even born. I’ve most likely lost or had stolen more old school death, thrash, etc than you’ve ever owned. So don’t act like you know what you’re talking about because you read it in a book once
What? No! It was at the youngling over there. :rollin
Just leaving this as an example of the general attitude towards music genres at that time.
This a college humor sketch from 1980…and while I’m not saying they were “experts” at all, it still exists as a time capsule of what the general consensus was by most teens/20s people living at that time.
And it’s freaking hilarious. :rollin :rollin
Us old timers remember this sketch from the Dr Demento show.
https://youtu.be/vv3rtJwffQI
Time travel complete!!!! the Nugent call.... Take an Ambulance!!!! :rollin :rollin :rollin
Thank you :rollin :rollin :rollin
And also, I believe the reason why you get those people who called those bands “first wave black metal” is because there was no one like Mayhem to compare them to. Mayhem didn’t exist. Venom was literally the most extreme, over the top, overtly satanic band in history, and they had just labeled themselves “black metal” with absolutely nothing in existence that was comparable. (Even Bathory and Hellhammer’s lyrics (and granted I haven’t heard them in over 30 years, so I might be misremembering a bit) were more occult and ritualesque than the more overt and almost comically over the top Venom lyrics).
So with nothing else in existence yet…that’s what they were. I’m not even making the argument over whether or not the goal posts should be moved. I’m not going to say that either side is right or wrong. Are they “first wave black metal” or just “thrash”? I can’t say. But I think the strong argument for “first wave black metal” comes from what those bands factually WERE until bands like Mayhem came along. After that, terminologies started to shift.
Believing what I believe today (and we’d have to go P/R for that) I just can’t even tolerate listening to it anymore.
In my late teens and early 20s I was just drawn to the most shocking and offensive things that I could possibly find in entertainment and music. (I was HUGE into The Mentors as well…boy that humor didn’t age well) But in retrospect, all of these things just violate so many principles that I hold dear that I’ve just left it all behind a long time ago.
I still listen to some fairly heavy stuff. I stopped listening to most extreme metal for the better part of a couple of decades just because I could so rarely find people that were singing about things I could relate to or wasn’t repulsed by. The band that brought me back a bit was BTBAM because they mostly either focused on social issues, or more recently, themes of an almost sci-fi nature.
Which brings up my own subgenre nitpick. Why was Arch Enemy posted a bit earlier in this thread when we already have a separate melodic death metal thread on the front page as well? :police:

Anyone know Septicflesh? A couple of their new tunes came up in my YouTube feed and checked them out. Really good stuff. Lots of old Morbid Angel influence, I might pick up their new album.
Holy shit, spin Annihilation of The Wicked now!
I Saved Annihilation Of The Wicked on Spotify back in 2018. Haven't heard it in just as long.
I'm not sure that they are. Usually I go through new albums, and if I like what I hear, I Save it. I actually may not have even fully checked it thoroughly. Gonna fix that!
Jeez, this title track is incredible.
Nile are brutal, but yes they have enough interesting things going on that mix well with the heaviness and keep my interest. They aren't monotonous like a lot of your standard brutal death metal bands, really talented guys.

To be picky, while death metal itself is pretty "brutal" in a broad sense, there is actually a subgenre of it called "brutal death metal", pioneered by Suffocation, that has specific traits, like nearly inhumanly low guttural vocals, chug/slam riffs, and more than the usual amount of blast beats. The only album that they really fit into the genre is on Black Seeds of Vengeance, everything else is primarily more Egyptian-themed technical death metal.

To be picky, while death metal itself is pretty "brutal" in a broad sense, there is actually a subgenre of it called "brutal death metal", pioneered by Suffocation, that has specific traits, like nearly inhumanly low guttural vocals, chug/slam riffs, and more than the usual amount of blast beats. The only album that they really fit into the genre is on Black Seeds of Vengeance, everything else is primarily more Egyptian-themed technical death metal.
Thanks Litho, that makes sense. I've always been picky about the heavier side but just getting into more of it now. I've heard of Suffocation but never checked them out. I think what I meant though is what you're alluding too in relation to Nile. I'll slowly work my way through the rest of their albums.
Well, since the thread is pretty active...I'm going to throw this in here:

One of my favorites death metal records in 2020...from Greece, not particularly brutal or original, but a great slab of Death-like (the band) death metal. Think mid-career Death. Tasty riffs and solos, very good production, just about the right length.
Was out in the city yesterday and found a copy of Septicfleshs' new one Modern Primitive. Also found their album Codex Omega at a bit of a discount too. Nice, looking forward to diving in.
Picked up the Matt Heafey Ibaraki album too!

Nice! Have you managed to check out Communion yet?
I still can't make my mind up about Ibaraki yet. I like the idea of a black metal album routed in Japanese culture. It also features Ihsahn and Gerrard Way, which I love, but it just seems to be falling short for me.
It doesn't particularly feel like a black metal album to me personally. It just feels like Trivium to me a lot of the time. That's not necessarily a bad thing, I think I just wanted something that sounded nothing like Trivium. I realise how stupid that sounds, as of course an Matt Heafy album is going to sound like Trivium to some degree :lol there you have it though.

:metalEasily my favorite Nile album. And they have a lot of good albums. :metal

No Morbid Angel?
I've only recently properly started really listening to Morbid Angel. I'd say they'd make my top 15.
It's actually surprising, as my older brother (by 8 years) who was the OG metal head in our family, and got me into metal, LOVED Morbid Angel. One of my early memories is staring at the Altars of Madness album cover and being kinda scared. He was big into death and thrash metal but I never got into death metal as much as he did. He was also big into Games Workshop/Warhammer, 2000 AD, any artwork by Simon Bisley. My early memories are playing on the Atari ST with him whilst in the background (unbeknownst to me) metal was being filtered into my being. It was all Slayer, Metallica, Obituary, Morbid Angel etc but I had no clue, I just wanted to play computer games and look at all the cool artwork that went along with his interests. He really shaped who I am as a person and my interests. Alternatively, our genetic makeup meant we were predestined to be into similar things. But I digress...
I like Morbid Angel

I ran through it yesterday. I thought it was pretty shit to be honest. Nothing grabbed me and a lot of what he's doing with his vocals sounds weak. There's nothing black metal about this at all really. I don't know, I'll come back to it, but yeah, I couldn't wait for it to finish on first listen. I'm sure it will grow somewhat.

Dude, this is a safe space don't feel you have to hold back your true feelings on the record :lol
I'm trying to figure out if there's something I'm missing. I think Buddyhunter1 has said it might be his #1 album of the year, but I'm struggling to understand why.

They're still one of the better throwback death bands, but I'm not nearly as much of a fan of Holmes as a vocalist as I am of Akerfeldt and Tagtgren.

Blackstar - Barbed Wire Soul
I've been listening to a fair bit of Carcass and Napalm Death this week. I have only just found out about Blackstar so spinning this for the first time now.
Blackstar are a band founded by Ken Owen and Jeff Walker, following the initial break up of Carcass. As far as I can tell they only released one album. It's a continuation of the Swansong era Carcass and is OK so far.
Has anyone checked out the new Bloodbath album?

Check out Gigan.
Hit upon a Swedish death thrash outfit called Carnosus the other week. Been digging it ever since. It's at the right point on the dial for me. The vocals are varied, mad-sounding and well enunciated. There's tons of riffs, great drums and arrangements. Really good leads. Love it.
https://youtu.be/a_LUcAGGwQE
I'll give them a go :tup
I listened to Multidimensional Fractal Sorcery and Super Science. I wasn't particularly blown away by it but saved it to a playlist to revisit. I've queued up Undulating Waves of Rainbiotic Iridescence after the new Insomnium, so I'll let you know if that one hits any better.I'll give them a go :tup
Luke, I'm curious what you think of Gigan? Assuming you checked them out.

Great album titles though :metal
Been listening to Idol by Horrendous today. And Blood Incantation's recent-ish one that isn't the synthy one yesterday. Great stuff!
(I liked Ecdysis when it came out but haven't been back to them much since, purely because of mood, but in the death metal mode atm.)
The creativity of the music on both albums really blew me away. Both are similar in my mind, in that they were flowing and weaving beautifully through brutality, jazziness, psych sections... Really impressive.

Hey Doctor, if you're in a DM mood please check out Architect of Seth.

Cool.
Gorod. Proggish French tech death. Anyone a fan? Been spinning Æthra a bit for a few weeks. Great album. Don't know anything else by them. They have a new one The Orb dropping next week.
Cool.

Gorod CRUSHES! I have all of their stuff. You need to check out their other stuff! Start with A Perfect Absolution and A Maze Of Recycled Creeds. Cannot wait for the new album. These dudes are top of the tech death genre.
Cool.

I've never been able to get into Gorod. They were just lacking something for me personally.
Glasser, I think you may be aware of these guys, but the new album Time Will Take Us All by Entheos, is a great slab of progressive/tech death. Check it out if you haven't already.
Didn't know Gorod had a knew one coming out. I will definitely check it out. A Maze of Recycled Creeds is a really great album.

So I've had a couple of listens to the new Gorod, and it is really good. Like their best album good. It's a definite album of the year contender for me. So glad I happened to check this thread and caught wind of this album, or it may have been awhile before this album crossed my radar.
Still digging it here too. Great all over.
The previous one Æthra is really good too but that's the only other I've heard.
So the roof collapsed on the Apollo Theater in Belvidere, IL tonight as a result of the storm system that just moved through. Looks like Morbid Angel was performing there tonight. Not sure who might have been on stage when it happened, but waiting on details in the news here.
Was Death the only death metal band to write stuff about social and psychological issues instead of satanism and/or paganism?
I mean…In Flames I suppose. Anyone else?

Opeth.
Horrendous released a first new song from their upcoming album:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz8tHOwWHnk
Pretty cool tune! Love the production on their records.
I came here to post about the new Cattle Decapitation album, Terrasite. It's my favourite death metal album of the year so far, and it kind of lines up with what you're talking about jammindude.
I'm not sure about their previous work, but this album focuses on environmentalist issues and overpopulation. Similarly Gojira (who aren't straight up death metal, I know) have been writing about environmentalist issues for their whole career.
There are probably loads of others if i have a good think about. The problem is, that most death metal I don't always know what they're singing about :lol
Anyway, everyone should check out Terrasite, I know Glasser will back me up.

Writing about macabre topics is really more the realm of the OSDM, brutal, or throwback bands. When you get to more progressive, melodic, or technical bands, the subject matter usually shifts as well. I don't know how specific you are about social and psychological themes in particular, sometimes it's more about philosophy, cosmology, sci-fi, history and such.
I've been enjoying some albums from Gatecreeper and Frozen Soul lately. Nice to find some newer bands/albums. I've also gone back to The Halo Effect's album from last year, which continues to blow my mind.
New single from Stortregn, "Xeno Chaos":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9whGs0zUzyQ
Stylistically, it sounds very much in line with the material on Impermanence. I was maybe impressed more by the melodic parts than the heavy/aggressive ones...case in point, the section with the acoustic guitars and the solo is super-cool.
Yeah, that was pretty cool. Didn't expect the flamenco-ish vibe in parts. Some people probably don't like me being the subgenre police, but to me it's way more suited to the melodic death metal thread though. :)

I think they were more that way with the earlier records, while the more recent ones tended to to spill over the "technical" death metal area a bit...but, anyway, I figured "death metal" was a relatively safe choice for a thread :biggrin:

Yeah, this seemed to lean way more into the melodic than technical aspects, but I suppose their last couple albums make them eligible for the normal death metal thread, so I'll allow it. :police:

Emptiness Fills the Void is an amazing album Luke. The last one Impermanence was fantastic also.
Just been going through album releases for the year and 2023 has been a pretty good year for death metal. Here’s a few of the albums that have been doing it for me. Now surprises that they pretty much all have technical/progressive leanings…
Cattle Decapitation - Terrasite
Entheos - Time Will Take Us All
Obituary - Dying of Everything
Nothingness - Supraliminal
Carnosus - Visions of Infinihility
Ulthar - Anthronomicon
Fleshvessel - Yearning: Promethean Fates Sealed
Rannoch - Conflagrations
Sarmat - Determined to Strike

Another fun, technical one is Gorod - The Orb

I’ve tried Gorod a few times, including the latest, and I can’t seem to get on with them.
Not sure if this is a hot take or not. I’m currently listening to World Demise by Obituary, and I think it might be my favourite Obituary album :metal

Nice take! My fave is still Slowly We Rot.
I went through some of their records earlier this summer. From what I recall of World Demise, there's a lot of slower songs, which didn't really grab me.
I like Slowly We Rot, Cause of Death and a few of the recent albums (Inked in Blood, s/t, and the new one).
I checked out the new album from Horrendous yesterday and it’s incredible. I’d never heard of them before but I was instantly hooked.
Someone needs to run a pure death metal roulette sometime - no clean vocals allowed. Those songs don't often do as well in competition with other styles, but that would level the playing field.

I would love to but I think I need another roulette or 2 under my belt before running one.. :metal
I only have a few new ones from 2023:
Frozen Soul - Glacial Domination
Crypta - Shades of Sorrow
Obituary - Dying of Everything
If we add MDM albums, then there's insomnium and Dieth too.
but what am I missing?
Been a good year for death metal so far, right? This is the list of my fave death metal releases so far this year. I have checked out some more, which I’ve not ranked yet (such as the new Dying Fetus), but what am I missing?
1. Cattle Decapitation - Terrasite
2. Horrendous - Ontological Mysterium
3. Sarmat - Determined to Strike
4. Fleshvessel - Yearning: Promethean Fates Sealed
5. Ulthar - Anthronomicon/Helionomicon
6. Nothingness - Supraliminal
7. Contrarian - Sage of Shekhinah
8. Entheos - Time Will Take Us All
9. Tentacult - Lacerating Pattern
10. Astriferous - Pulsations from the Black Orb
11. Carnosus - Visions of Infinihility
12. Obituary - Dying of Everything
Also, I think the new Tomb Mold is out Friday, and new Suffocation soon.
I never pimped my closest friend Andy's band here, maybe because its personal to me and didn't want negative feedback, but its all good so let me know what you think. We grew up together and are still very close. He's working on new stuff as we speak. Old school thrashy DM band Prime Evil. Have a look at this video! I love it. Andy is the vocalist! :metal
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_-koqEn32N0
Really loving the new Tomb Mold. It'll definitely be up near the top of my favorite albums this year. Gotta check out that Blood Incantation EP next.

Yea just finished up new Tomb Mold, it was really good and more melodic than I was expecting.
Man, I really enjoyed that Fabricant album. Lots of weird, dissonant, angular riffing that really drew me in. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Bloodthirst is a definite highlight of the early Corpsegrinder era. That album is very catchy and one of my favorites. Torture is probably my favorite of the more recent stuff. Other ones I'd recommend are The Wretched Spawn, Kill, A Skeletal Domain, and the last one Violence Unimagined. I thought the addition of Erik Rutan breathed new life into the band, and Violence Unimagined was a solid effort. Haven't listened to the new one yet, hopefully I will get to it today. They really are a pretty consistent band though. Evisceration Plague is probably my least favorite of the Corpsegrinder era, and it is still very good.
For SFU, I thought Maximum Violence was okay, but I'm not really much into them. The newer stuff is terrible. Barnes sounds terrible now.
Not a bad start to the year for death metal. Here's my Top 10 so far...
1. Exocrine - Legend
2. Civerous - Maze Envy
3. Slimelord - Chytridiomycosis Relinquished
4. At the Plates - Omnivore
5. Job for a Cowboy - Moon Healer
6. Aborted - Vault of Horrors
7. Replicant - Infinite Mortality
8. Ingested - The Tide of Death and Fractured Dreams
9. Skeletal Remains - Fragments of the Ageless
10. Sovereign - Altered Realities
The top 3 are the only ones that really impressed me though, and are looking like Top 50 Albums of the Year contenders.
At the Plates? :lol
Are they an At the Gates food based cover band? :lol
