Your favorite death metal bands?

[benktg]

yeah i like a few tracks but they do tend to piss me off more than i like them haha, i also recently found a band called, "Thy art is murder" they are Deathcore tho and i tend to steer away from anything thats got "core" at the end of the genre, But these guys are pretty cool. Also yeah the Negation and winds are two of my fave albums, such awesome music! seen them twice live and was in a pit the Rasta the singer last time and he stuffed the mic in my face while playing a track of organic hallucinosis so i started Growling down it lol that was ace. Also had a smoke with him outside and a good chat, met Krymm the drummer too. \m/

Sounds like you're a patriot, at least musically. My favorite death metal bands from your country would be Gorement, Utumno, old At the Gates, Pan.Thy.Monium, Dismember, and Necrophobic when they were still death metal. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Haha, maybe. I prefer to see metal live, and many times i just continue listening too those bands afterwords if they did a really good liveshow.

Re: Your favorite death metal bands? I wish I could do that, I think all but one of the bands I mentioned above is broken up, and Necrophobic never tours the US. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

At the Gates seems to reunite now and then just to play a few times. Ive never seen Necrophobic thou, thats something i still want to do.

I've just been listening to In Vain and I've realized something; this slow, highly melodic but non-doomy metal is getting very popular. In Mourning, Ne Obliviscaris, Atoma, and to an extent Alcest all form this movement, and despite the obvious amount of effort put in, it just bores me severely. I can see the appeal, but frankly Slumber and Funeral know how to do melodic doom metal right. These bands have a very over-produced sound that gets very taxing after a minute or so unless they keep things interesting. Now luckily In Vain actually does try, but they're still falling ill to this unfortunate malaise which I think stems from the popularity of the 'djent' bands and Opeth. On a happier note: I can get some awesome shirts for friggin' GOROD now. Excellent.

Re: Your favorite death metal bands? There are lots of trends that come and go, and right now it seems that melodic/gothic doom, post/shoegaze metal, retro everything, and crust/metal fusions. There are good and bad bands in all trends and movements, though they tend to at their strongest a few years from initial exploration, when bands take influence from the progenitors and run with it before the "rules" are set.

Callenish FUCKING Circle, In Flames, Dismember, Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom, Swallow The Sun, Daylight Dies, Quo Vadis, Dagoba, Insomnium, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Dark Tranquillity, In Mourning, Into Eternity, Kataklysm, Mercenary, and Witchery. Those are my favorites, at least... I did without including my deathcore bands.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Immolation, Incantation, Bolt Thrower, Masacra, Dismember, Atheist, Autopsy, Nile, there were others but these ones stuck in my head

[BlutAusNerd]

Immolation' date=' Incantation, Bolt Thrower, Masacra, Dismember, Atheist, Autopsy, Nile, there were others but these ones stuck in my head[/quote'] Man, you sure have come a long way from having previously hated harsh vocals. That's a sweet looking list there, have you had a chance to make it through to the end of my death metal recommendations yet? I'm curious because it looks like I might be bored enough at work to do another set of videos this week, so if that's what you're in the mood for, I can hit that. It's been a while since I've done black metal though, and I could probably do just about anything else, so let me know where you're at.

Re: Your favorite death metal bands? I FUCKIN LOVE Bolt Thrower, probably because you can actually understand what Karl Willets sings, and he is epic

[BlutAusNerd]

I FUCKIN LOVE Bolt Thrower' date=' probably because you can actually understand what Karl Willets sings, and he is epic[/quote'] You should check out Hail of Bullets. They're a newer Dutch death metal band playing in the style of Bolt Thrower, heavy, battle frenzied, pummeling death metal awesomeness. Martin Van Drunen is the vocalist, which I find fitting since he did replace Karl Willets in Bolt Thrower for a couple of years. It's too bad they never recorded anything with him on vocals, because while Dave Ingram is definitely capable, it seems like Martin would have been a better fit for the band's sound.

I'm listening to Hail of Bullets just now...I should like them but there's something about them that I just don't care for. They have better sound production than Bolt Thrower, but I think it must the vocals I object to. From what I've heard so far, they almost fall into the doom/death category. They almost sound like Novembers Doom at times, vocals aside.

Re: Your favorite death metal bands? i also like Massacre, Possessed, Morbid Angel, Death and Fear Factory (If they count)

[RelentlessOblivion]

Fear Factory probably don't count Davey boy

[Iceni]

Fear Factory probably don't count Davey boy

I really don't know. Gojira count as death metal and they have vocals that are pretty close to just shouting. In the meantime Fear Factory's latest works aren't really so industrial from what I remember.

[BlutAusNerd]

Re: Your favorite death metal bands? Fear Factory's first album is industrial death/grind, but past that there is no death metal in their sound. They were like a great cross between Godflesh and Napalm Death's Harmony Corruption, which is exactly why Earache wouldn't sign them at the time. Gojira isn't really death metal either, more just technical groove metal like Meshuggah. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

in exciting news I've started on BANs DM video list, skipped over Atrocity because I wasn't sure the Hallucinations/Blue Blood/The Hunt album on iTunes was really what I was looking for but did grab Atheist, Autopsy and Benediction

Maybe give a few more tracks from each album a listen before forming an opinion, because there is a great deal of variety within each album. Also, the tracks attached to Hallucinations, Blue Blood and The Hunt, are VERY different from the material on Hallucinations. Blue Blood is old-school grindcore, but still with that bizarre Atrocity sound, and The Hunt is just brutal and relentless.

[Metalhead Steve]

QUO. FUCKING. VADIS. Still have yet to hear better tech-death.

Re: Your favorite death metal bands? Bolt. Thrower.

My main complaint that I didn't really like the riffs and vocal style since they were a bit more like the older DM bands that as you know I don't really listen to. I like a fair amount of stuff by Gorguts; both Obscura and The End Of Sanity are good, the latter being a sort of auditory miracle for me as perhaps the first old-school DM album I've heard that I did actually like. However, try as I might I cannot get into From Wisdom To Hate. It's got some good stuff on it, but it sounds too much like Ulcerate. Gorguts came first, but Ulcerate seem to have developed the style much more. I'm disappointed mainly by the fact that there aren't as many up-tempo songs as there were on Obscura; if there were I'd probably like the album a lot more. I think Inversion is still OK and it has a great opening riff.
