Death Metal

[73109]

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.

[ScioPath]

What's wrong with growls?

[Heaven Outcry Angel]

thank you

What's wrong with growls?

just not my thing but i can get why others like them I guess....

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.

[Heaven Outcry Angel]

I love Nevermore!!

Basically this

Check out these songs:

Beyond within
The obsidian conspiracy
I, Voyager
The psalm of lydia

All of which in my opinion have death metal elements with clean vocals

Also, Jeff Loomis is GOD 

Edit: looks like you already knew them, oh well

[lateralus88]

I love Nevermore!!

We will get along.

[SPNKr]

Everyone shut up and listen to Nile.

[necrotomist]

Everyone shut up and listen to Nile.

Nile is the best DM band out there these days. Saw them for the fourth time earlier this year, what a show!

Also looking forward to the new Decapitated album that's coming out pretty soon!

[73109]

Swallow the Sun?

[Ultimetalhead]

Swallow the Sun?

Doom metal.

But very good.

[73109]

Album?

The Morning Never Came

Death - The sound of Perseverance

The Sound of Perseverance is one of the greatest death metal albums ever!!!!!!!!!!! Also I started listening to metal with death metal first and that band was Amon Amarth. 

[lateralus88]

I used to love Amon Amarth for the longest time. They have kind of lost their luster for me though. Not sure why.

[MetalManiac666]

New Decapitated is quite awesome.

I'd like to nominate the first 20 seconds of this song for the most metal 20 seconds ever:

So I bought Immolation's third album "Here in After" yesterday. Holy shit this album is fucking heavy. I've always really loved their latest album Majesty of Decay and have been meaning to check out their earlier stuff. So fucking glad I did.

[Pinga]

Immolation is the shit.

[Pinga]

What?

Those two bands aren't death metal.

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.

Also old Gojra was practically old school death metal until they decided to progress in style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S2fCRyJVok

Glad to see this thread pop up again, anyway going to listen to nile, and vader today.



Fuck yeah

[MasterShakezula]

Well, I checked out Necrophagist and The Faceless, and they are INTENSE!

I thank you, guy above me, for the recommendations, and will certainly end up exploring more into tech death.

Good on you.

What's wrong with growls?

they sound icky

I tend to lean more towards the technical end of the death metal spectrum, generally. Right now one of my favorite bands, period, is Obscura-Omnivium is an freaking AMAZING piece of technical death metal. Origin is another one of my favorites, really need to buy their newest. Brain Drill makes some crushing tech death, as well as a band called Anomalous: their CD Ohmnivalent is some right INSANE tech death, but with a decent sense of melody and progressive-ness. Turning towards the classics, I love Atheist, Death, and Cynic, although I'm not sure I'd call Cynic a death metal band anymore.

My favorite death metal band? Nile, no ifs, ands, or buts. Simply amazing band.

Other death metal bands I like: Necrophagist (c'mon guys, seven years is too long to wait for a new CD), the Faceless, Deeds of Flesh, Bloodbath, Hail of Bullets, Severed Savior, Neuraxis, Obituary, man, I could do this all day, and I haven't even gotten into melodic death metal. I seem to like more death metal than I thought I did!

Whoa, you're alive.

[Starkweather]

Yep. Maybe a total of 7 posts in the last year though  

@Origin dude, saw them the other day. They were pretty incredible. Vital Remains was awesome that show as well.

[YtseBitsySpider]

Would I be mistaken to label Trivium as Death metal?

Are they more thrash?

I've listened a couple cd's now and I get a metallica meets Opeth sort of feel to them

[Pinga]

Yes, they're more trash.

Thrash influenced metalcore.
