Death Metal

[Seventh Son]

Bumping this thread because I just discovered one of the greatest riffs of all time.

This riff is making my pants very tight. Just holy shit I didn't think a riff that amazing was possible. 

holy shit...

Seriously, I'm listening to the album in full (Like an Everflowing Stream, it even sounds badass!) and its totally tearing me apart, but I'm enjoying every second of it.  

I need to listen to more Dismember, and more Swedish Death Metal in general.

I didn't think of you as a death metal kind of person, El Barto. Cool vid though.

As a general rule, I'm not.  But Spiritual Healing is a motherfucker of an album, though.

Have you given any other old Death albums a chance? Because well...Leprosy.

Yeah, remember, I was around when Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy were current releases. Never really cared for much of their work before or after SH.  Spiritual Healing seemed to nail what I wanted to hear, whereas the earlier ones were much simpler, and the latter ones lacked the quality drum work of Andrews.

But...Leprosy is the best...ever.

Also came here to say that Vader's Litany is incredibly incredible.

Fucking amazing video.

The Painkiller cover is my favorite Death song.

One of my favorites. So fucking metal.

[wolfking]

Chuck's vocals in that cover are simply amazing!!  I really wish he incorporated more of this high shrieking style in his original music.

Oh, and Individual Thought Patterns FTW!!

[Gadough]

ITP is my least favorite of Death's last four albums. Still good shit though.

[LudwigVan]

ITP features King Diamond's guitarist Andy Larocque.

Yeah, his solos are fucking amazing.  Such a good contrast to Chuck's style, wished they did a couple more albums together.

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.

Thanks, I'm thinking of doing a whole bunch of those. I might make a thread when I've got enough of them.

Also, Altars Of Madness

One of the greatest death metal albums ever. I'm thinking that I like you already

[SPNKr]

I last listened to a death metal album in about 1852. I listened to Altars Of Darkness, Morbid Angel, today and it was really good! Great old death metal.

[Bombardana]

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.

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

[JayOctavarium]

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

I guess it depends on what you grew up on.  Once Chuck started getting screechier, it stopped being Death to me.

Fair enough, I can easily see where you are coming from since it's the same band who wrote albums like Spiritual Healing and Leprosy back in the day.

THREAD REVIVAL

On the discussion of Death, I too prefer Chuck's earlier vocal style. Not to discredit the later albums at all, they're fantastic, but Leprosy is and forever will be where it's at.

On a related note, I've been spinning Cryptopsy's first two albums quite a bit lately. Shame they went the deathcore route, really.

[zxlkho]

I disagree. What a surprise.
