Can someone recommend some good death metal?

[mrdevious]

I gotta admit, when I'm feeling down/angry/depressed/shitty, whatever, it really makes me feel better to listen to some good death metal (black metal too actually, but death metal works more often). So can any of you good metalheads help me find some new bands? Keeping in mind that I can't stand that kind of death metal where the singer has such a deep growly voice that he sounds like troll puking under a bridge (Cannibal Corpse, 6 Feet Under etc). The stuff I'm really into with my limited collection includes Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, and a little bit of Death. Expanding into other branches, I listen to Dark Tranquillity, In Flames (particularily the old stuff), Dimmu Borgir, Slayer, and Cradle of Filth.

So any suggestions around those lines?

[Satan666]

Well,,, That stuff isnt really death metal. If you wanted real death metal then i can help.

But check out Xasthur or Leviathin. Good for when your depressed.

[Crystalline Green]

Opeth?

[mrdevious]

Ah, sorry guys I forgot about the death metal thread. Still, I'm looking for a very particular type since I'm not really into the more "pure" type (or whatever you want to call it).

Not really death metal? Then what do you call it, angry rock 'n roll? Arch Enemy, Death, and Amon Amarth are definately death metal. Well, I'll say Amon Amarth is viking death metal, but still...

ewwww scenesterXcore cant stand that shit

[N3D FLANDERS]

ewwww scenesterXcore cant stand that shit

nah fuck that
i roundhouse kick scene kids in the face

[TheFatKid]

Good, just stop listening to those bands, they are trendcore wannabe death metal, and are polluting the youth with people thinking that that is death metal when it isn't even close.

[N3D FLANDERS]

yeah i know my music taste is so so

Scar Symmetry is a GREAT band though

[TheFatKid]

Yeah, they really are. I love all the melodic death metal, but not so much the Gothenburg stuff.

[N3D FLANDERS]

Haha i love hardcore dancing
that was so random
im a bit buzzed

[Matt the Funk]

JFAC played at the whiskey last week with this band I know, lol, supossedly a good show minus the band I know.

[TheFatKid]

im high right now and im listening to brutality is law by severed savior, and its really really fucking cool. all the basstones are going with eachother and goin plonk plonk. And the guitars and drums and vocals, its mad cool.

[mrdevious]

Yeah, they really are. I love all the melodic death metal, but not so much the Gothenburg stuff.

I don't know TFK, have you heard Dark Tranquillity's stuff? DT started in 1989 and basically invented the gothenburg style, then a whole bunch of crappy generic-sounding bands like Soilwork took over the genre and basically ruined it. Dark Tranquillity, in my humble opinion, is one of the most created and skilled bands I've ever heard, I wouldn't let the newer bands ruin it for you. Some good excellent songs include:

Cathode Ray Sunshine
Lost To Apathy
There In
Undo Control
White Noise/Black Silence (well, this is probably just my song)



Anal Cunt

lol, yeah man I've heard/seen a bit of Anal Cunt. Personally I hate that kind of metal, it seems trashy and brainless like G.G. Allen. If you know who G.G. Allen is, you're most likely sleeping better at night knowing he's dead now lol.

But personally, when I listen to Black/Death metal I want creative exploration of our darker sides, not a gross-out competition.





And I just wanna say, no offense intended to anybody here but.... People these days are getting WAY too critical about what qualifies for their genre of metal. Bands, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse, need to explore different approaches to music in as many ways as possible to really see where we can take music. Where one person hears something annoying, another hears the same and it tickles their brain in just the right way that nothing else can.

[N3D FLANDERS]

naw i cant listen to death metal/ grindcore when i am high
its like
im mellow
and the music is like ROAR AROIAJROIAR OAIEJIJ
tripping me out
just some chill soft rock
like some indie stuff
i prefer tv over music

[xmk]

Check out the newest Behemoth, dude has a lower scream but its really fuckin good, ive been digging it a lot latly.

[TheFatKid]

They have a new CD coming out either summer or spring.

[az666]

yeah I wouldn't consider the bands you first stated "Death Metal"
but if thats what you want to call it...

Nile are awsome!
Deicide are awsome!

Check out "Psycroptic" The Scepter of Jaar-Gilon
but if you don't like the low vocals....then I can't really help
