Funeral Mist are black metal, all the way you suck my answers are Nocturnus, lyrically at least for straight up brutality, Suffocation for just all around awesomeness of all time, Morbid Angel
Immortal, ok, are not Death metal, but you have to see this video for the simple fact its ludicrous! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VBdAY8eA9w Maybe we should include BM on this thread too, instead of having a BM thread as well???
for death metal I would have to say Euphoric Drift. I had a 7" by them but never found anything else..very good lyrics about a bus crashing with children splattering and hell and all that but the best metal is Burzum! and new favorite Gallhammer..the "blind my eyes" track is so good!
POSSESSED "Seven Churches" LP. Could be considered Thrash, but for fucks sake they even had a track and a demo titled "Death Metal". they coined the fucking phrase and walked the path. Oh, and cookie-monster vocals are the fucking WORST.
old Dark Throne, The Amenta, Napalm Death, old Paradise Lost, old Celtic Frost, Vader, Neurosis, Brighter Death Now... anything on the Cold Meat Industry label... noise Khanate... Beyond the Gates by Possessed was also a favorite for sure...!!! Kreator also belongs in the thrash metal category somewhere... threw in some some industrial just for fun... Skinny Puppy, Suicide Commando, Funkervoght, Wumpscut, Psyclon Nine, Index, Fuspils 11, Unter Null...
actually napalm death leans way towards death metal with their last few albums. their early stuff was more thrash-punk.
Awesome to see someone mention Seven Churches. I think I still have an old dusty LP somewhere. Probably next to the Venom LPs.
For those of you out there into old Carcass, check out 'General Surgery'. Practically a clone, but very good. *hands out cyber drinks to everyone* I find it quite interesting just how many of the SBers out there are or where into the heavier stuff. Nice to know there are plenty out there By the way, for those of you who like the old crust metal type stuff, Darkthrones new album 'FOAD' is really good!
awww, I would say they are embracing the hellhammer/motorhead thing more. 'Blaze' was their best album IMO
Death metal is more funny than scary (IMHO)... dudes are trying to hard. I always thought that it was backlash against the (far superior) metal that had falsetto vocals... like Man-0-War Hail and Kill!!!
I concur, although you do have to admit it sounded like an empty beer can full of angry bees... Natassja... is my fave from that one. Well, that and 'Unholy Black Metal' I always regarded them as a superior band to Mayhem.
