Angel Witch - Gorgon


Definitely cheesy METAL. But great band!

[monster_island]

played with this band in 1991 ... these guys can DRINK !!! lol

Pungent Stench - Shrunken and Mummified Bitch.

[monster_island]

played with these guys too .... on of my all time favorite bands ... this whole album needs to be played at high volmue to appreciate !!

Repulsion- Radiation Sickness

[BlackLagoon]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Repulsion, one of my favorites!!! How can anyone not love that album.

I tried religiously to find out how Scott Karlson got that sound out of his bass--couldnt find his rig anywhere.

[BlackLagoon]

BL,that first Immortal song was "ok" The 2nd was very cool and was a throwback to the epitome of early 80s dirty metal. Venom,Motor Head , etc.

Def is a head nod to the old school WL.

Actually the last song on that cd is called "Far Beyond The North Winds"--it's about early black metal legends Bathory. Really the lyrics are all about Quorthon.

I'm a huge fan of that early simple black/thrash with that punk stuff going on--Venom, Bathroy--even Motorhead. I can listin to that stuff all day.

If you really dig it--I can always burn you a copy and send it your way.

my favorite DM band of all time ... played with these guys in 91 and smoked so much weed with chris reifert that i cant remember it lol
Autopsy - Gasping For Air

[monster_island]

another classic ... love this song but i think swarming mass is my fav on the album

Carcass - Ruptured in Purulence

[Wicked Lester]

Sorry Bro,well actually not. The old thrashy undecipherable voice death metal like this IMO is the epitome of pure crap. Any 16 Y.O kid and his friends with the right equipment can replicate this.
I can do it with power tools pots n pans and phlegm in my throat.
I bought a Canadian Death/Metal/Thrash box set off Ebay several years ago with like 100 bands and equal songs and bonuses for $30. The vast majority of it sucked. 8-10 songs were burned. For every even halfway decent band out there are another 10 that should not even exist. Does anyone remember Sounds Of Death Magazine? I wasted SO much $ on disks they said were "9 skulls" for evil brutality only to find yet another CD of sonic noise and grunting/screaming/vomiting etc etc.
Again,YMMV.

ok so i take it youre not a fan of death metal and such ... i dare you to find some 16 year olds that can replicate any of the bands ive posted ... you absolutely can not ... and you ( personally ) cant replicate it with pots and pans thats just plain ignorant ... i have been buying cassettes , vinyl and cds since death metal came to be in the late 80s and there are alot of great bands and a whole hell of a lot of crap bands too ... same with all genres of music ... how else are you supposed to find what you like ?? ... go ahead and post up some of your favorites ... i listen to everything but country music ... i detest it ... country music makes me want to stomp on kittens while i ice pick my eardrums ... but i can also find musicality in anything

[monster_island]

i love this band here from chi-town ... very decipherable lol

Righteous Pigs- Open Wound

[monster_island]

CARNIVORE !!!

Carnivore-Jesus Hitler

[BlackLagoon]

Ahhhh Carnivore--when everyone says "Type-O" I say "Carnivore"! Absolutely love em.

Death Metal--and all its sub genres is definately not for everyone, I can totally understand why it's not for everyone--thats comming from me! and for the most part I'm called a "death metal vocalist".

I think there is a HUGE difference with what the kids are calling death metal, or death core or metal core or whatever the hell it is today--it's pretty bad. To me anyway.

There is def some classic death metal out there that is pretty "tech" and maybe sounds a bit jumbled--personally I think when you go back to the Brian Slagel days, it is near impossible to find stuff out of the 1st wave of death metal--the Tampa Bay guys, that doesnt grove or keep solid timing.

I mean pick up Obituary's Cause Of Death--there is more rhythm on that record than there is on classic rock!

Morbid Angel was groundbreaking, Cannibal Corpse really pushed music and their instruments (and lyrical content for that matter!) right to the edge of "intelligent" withought going over board and making noise--and honestly I think today, it's slower, groovier and better written than it ever was.

I think Deicide went backwards--their best days are behind them and now, it really is becoming noise. Plus, to each their own but you've beat the horse to death with the anti Christian theme--damn man I get it, its just old.

You take a band like Death--who in my opinion exceeds a sub genre and a "label" within metal--its not death metal or tampa style death metal--its brilliant guitar work all the time. It's incredible arrangement every single time---Chuck Schuldiner was a metal GOD and a legend--add all that up and now go read the lyrics to the entire Symbolic album--it's practically a therapy session--beatuiful, real, from the heart and brutal all at once.

I'm not saying I like every death metal band out there---but to say it's all jumbled noise is pretty ridiculous.

And as far as Carcass goes.....much like Napalm Death, the early stuff is a little too grindy for my taste--but holy sh*t, if you don't find the sheer power and musical intelligence in Heartwork--the riffs, the perfect subtle basslines over that acid drenched nasally voice of Jeff Walker---I just can't see how people don't like that stuff.

I love everything from Motorhead to Manowar---death metal is something special and entirely different for...the "select" metal head, and I love being a part of it.

[BlackLagoon]

I bought a Canadian Death/Metal/Thrash box set off Ebay several years ago with like 100 bands and equal songs and bonuses for $30.

If its metal and comes from Canada--9 times out of 10--its waaaaaaay too technical for my taste. Though I will say Cryptopsy with Mike DiSalvo was pretty damn cool.

Reread my post. All I said was that IMO the Carcass style of Death Metal was crap. That's all. I like certain forms of DM and have for over 2 decades. DM has been around since 83'-84'. It depends on the the band and the song. I like a certain style.
While not DM Carnivore F-ing kill. I've listened to the double CD 5 times in the last 2 weeks. Jesus Hitler is a personal fave.

I've posted several non DM songs. That's the stuff I mainly listen to now but I still love this...

Entombed - Full of Hell

And this which is one of my all time faves.

Grave - Soulless (Official)

and this

Hypocrisy - The North Wind

[monster_island]

ok ireread your post and nowhere did i see you mention carcass ... it seemed u were generalizing death metal ... i understand now i think ... symphonies is a masterpiece IMO ... if your post was about the countless bands ripping that sound and style off and butchering it then i agree with you ... IMO i think after Symphonies the band gradually began to suck ... where as Carnivore ruled and Typ O negative just sucked from the get go .... im a big fan of swedish death metal too  .... Grave is awesome too ... played with those guys on the into the grave tour  and Jorgen was a real nice guy ... im partial to into the grave but i really love the demos
Grave - Extremely Rotten Flesh

im not a fan of the new age death metal or whatever tag they put on it with the pig squeals and ultrafast shredding and drumming that sounds too fast for human beings to play with 10 minute songs ... LOL ... rarely i hear something appealing to me
