I dabbled in death metal back in my high school days in the mid 90's, I haven't ever really gotten into it since then. I love the music, but the vocals get on my nerves. Hard rock & metal is my favorite kind of music, and some of my favorite bands are Tool, Slayer, Pantera, Machine Head, Planes Mistaken for Stars, & Danzig.
some death metal is quite annoying vocally as well as musically, that's for sure. i too dig many other bands as well...fear factory, machine head, entombed, carnage, carcass, six feet under, desultory, iron maiden, hypocrisy, i could on...
I'm the same. I had a friend who played in a death metal band when I was in highschool. I got into it for a second, but the only band that comes to mind is Slayer. they're death metal or no?
Bolt Thrower, love those guys. They are from my home town (Coventry). I still buy their albums and listen to them now. I will always supports my boys (and girl) lol! Carcass were a tremendous band. The covers for 'Reek' and 'Symphonies' were brutal. Sooo many bands tried to imitate that afterward, and failed miserably. True shock rockers. Shame they went limp after 'Necroticism'... Obituary were ok, but Tardy's vocals annoyed me after a while. Malevolent Creation were pretty good too. People used to bang on about Morbid Angel, but I never really cared for them. A lot of bands in the early 90's adopted that 'Florida' sound from Morrisound studios, thankfully though, that passed!
don't think you can call these guys death metal, but i love me some Amon Amarth. That is probably the closest thing i like to death. anything that has to do with fantasy, historical events or fictional historical events, i eat up.
Those guys are cool, more power metal maybe?? On a completely unrelated topic, I just scored tickets for Iron Maiden in June So, Cradle of Filth, great, or shite? Now, the COF I am asking about is their death metal beginnings, from the days of the 'Spattered in faeces' and 'Total f*cking Darkness' demo days. Not the glamgoffmetal they are now lol!
man, congrats on scoring the maiden tickets! last time i saw them live was on their "seventh son of a seventh son tour". frehley's comet was suppost to open, but ace was "sick" (yeah right) - and the killer dwarfs opened.
straight up death metal... it's a toss up between suffocation and obituary, but at the end of the day i would probably go with suffocation. i wish frank mullen was my dad and the tardy bros were my cousins.
Yeah, I remember hearing 'Effigy of the Forgotten' and was well impressed by how deep that guys voice was!
Mortician! For some reason they are the only one I've kept all my CDs from. I almost got barfed on by the guy from Exhumed once. umm.... Morbid Angel was great at one point... so was Cryptopsy.. Crud.. what would be my favorite. Mostly I like the death/grind or thrash metal bands best. OK, my favorite Death Metal album might be Eaten Back to Life by Cannibal Corpse. They enter your tomb-maggots-beginning to feast-maggots Crawling on you-maggots-now they eat you-maggots Rotting maggots-maggots-infesting your corpse-maggots Parasites of the dead-maggots-now dwell in your head Oh! I take all back! Favorite Death Metal band, and album is: Deceased - fearless undead machines
...I released the Exhumed/No Comply 7" some time ago and I got to see a Relapse Contamination tour show for free in Anaheim and the bassist did throw up on me! thankfully i had an extra shirt in the car... also my pick would be Nunslaughter followed by Sabbat,Sarcofago,and Bone Awl!
That Ace Ventura clip was awesome! this is bloody funny too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfTFTTzn85c
Ha ha! I was in a tiny bar here in Winnipeg. Maybe 200 people. I knew what was coming so i backed up. People were slipping and falling in it, the whole bar stunk like puke! ha ha!
..honestly i didn't care and I knew it was coming...you know it's coming when he grabs a skull that he keeps on his amp...he usually throws up on the skull while holding over whatever member of the crowd is still left in the front...call it bravery..call it stupidity...whatever,it was fun!...
