Death Metal Appreciation Topic

[Seventh Son]

As the thread title indicates, this is for discussion and appreciation for all things death metal (Excluding deathcore, because there is already a -core topic). This can include Old School Death Metal, Technical (Or sometimes known as weedly weedly ) Death Metal, Deathrash, Blackened Death Metal, etc.

All those and more are definitely welcome here!

P.S. If you don't like Death Metal (And I can understand why it would be off-putting, but that isn't the point of the topic), then I must kindly ask you not to post here.

Now, time to get to an old classic.... any Morbid Angel fans lying around here? Altars of Madness is one of my favorite albums ever

Death Metal is an excellent sub-genre, and is deserving of many many threads, but yeah. I already made one.

IN FLAMES

This isn't the thread for wannabe-death metal appreciation. 

[zxlkho]

How is that wanna-be death metal? It's just melodic.

[Sigz]

Yeah, they're just melodeath. Either way, Arch Enemy > In Flames

[Sigz]

It's not even a competition.

[Dr. SeaWolf]

Maybe post-Clayman In Flames.

[zxlkho]

Post-Clayman In Flames isn't nearly as good as TJR, Colony, etc.

Especially this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrdGYVir6DU

Best death metal album ever

That's what I meant.  Clayman and earlier era In Flames is way better than Arch Enemy.

Respect.

The Godfather of Death Metal.

I don't actually know who that is.... *runs away*

Chuck Schuldiner of Death. He basically invented death metal. Hail to the king

Ah well now I know how the term death metal was coined.

I love Death, but I would take Morbid Angel over them any day of the week.

Both excellent bands, but Death has that whole thrash thing going on as well, so I have to give it to Chuck.

Altars of Madness is pretty thrashy, and David's vocals sound more like late 80's Thrash than Death Metal to me.

[Ultimetalhead]

Sure, but Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy shit all over everything Morbid Angel has done.

I love Death.... but this is wrong on so many levels.

Morbid Angel's first three are like, perfection in terms of death metal. And they all sound different, each one has their own personality. It isn't like they copy/paste their formula for each album like millions of other Death Metal bands do. They made arguably three of the most influential Death Metal albums of all time.

[Ultimetalhead]

Morbid Angel's first four albums are absolutely fantastic and are death metal classics in by any definition of the word. Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy are just...better. I don't know how to explain it really.

Domination is rather weak compared to their first three, honestly. Its decent, but David Vincent doesn't even sound like he's trying. However, Formulas Fatal to the Flesh is an amazing piece and a must-listen. Both of those albums by Death are great, but I wouldn't rank them higher than 8/10. 9/10 on a really good day, but that's about it. Those four albums by MA are all 10/10.

[Ultimetalhead]

Formulas is nowhere near the caliber of the earlier MA albums, let alone Death.

You say that just because it isn't David Vincent on vocals.

No. I say it because it's not as good as their other albums. The lack of David Vincent is part of it, but the songs just aren't as good either.

I honestly love Formulas and would easily put them on the same level as their first three, and much better than Death. Granted, I really love Death, but still, its Morbid Fucking Angel. The songwriting is different from the other albums, but I think that's what I like so much about Morbid Angel. I can't really say any two albums of theirs sound alike at all.

My head just asploded.

No but seriously that's cool, Morbid Angel is alright. I just think Death was better for two reasons: the lyrics and Chuck's vocals.

If it means anything, I feel the same way when people say the opposite
