Can someone recommend some good death metal?

[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.

but if thats what you want to call it...

Nile are awsome!
Deicide are awsome!

Check out "Psycroptic" The Scepter of Jaar-Gilon
