This is not what I think are the best metal albums, but 5 I enjoy the most... although Mayhem would be at the top of that one, too. 1) MayheM - De Mysteriius Dom Sathanas 2) Emperor - IX Equilibrium 3) At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul 4) Carcass - Heartwork 5) Hypocrisy - Abducted
If you wanna talk best all time in extreme metal... here's my take.. 5. Morbid Angel- Alters of Madness 4. Obituary- Cause of death 3. Emperor IX Equilibirum 2. Cannibal corpse- Tomb of the mutilated 1. Carcass- Heartwork somewhere mixed in there are these honorable mentions.. 1. Death- Scream bloody gore 2. Possessed- 7 Churches 3. Suffocation- Effigy of the forgotten 4. Deicide- Legion 5. Marduk- Fuck me jesus
Not a big Morbid Angel fan, I like Domination but thats the only album. But to be fair I dont really know much of their stuff either. Same with Cannibal Corpse...have Gallery of Suicide and know various songs from various albums, but not their biggest fan. Not a fan of the low quality production either...some people dig it but sometimes for me it just kind of gets in the way. To each his own I guess
don't know much about them, but their singer looks to be in his mid 20's imo...so i'm guessing he's a rather new singer..not quite sure, not a huge fan of them, but they've got some sweeeet songs.. you guys heard Necessary Evil?...love that song to death
Those are 2 bands(especially MA) you really hafta listen to alot to let grow on ya. I reccomend the albums covenant(morbid angel) and the bleeding(cannibal corpse). Those albums are great for people still kinda new to the scene and have alot of catchy classics.
I wanna see Morbid Angel in April so hopefully by then Ill have heard more of their stuff. Ive got nothing against them, in fact I really enjoy Domination, but none of their other stuff has really jumped out at me. But like you said maybe I just need to give them more time. Cannibal Corpse is a bit different though, I shouldve rephrased by above statement. Truth is I like what Ive heard of them but I just dont have alot of it. And I still dont understand why so many people like that low production sound of Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Deicide, etc. Would the occasional remaster really be too much too ask for??
Keep in mind, when alot of the older corpse, deicide and obituary came out, that was the best production money could buy. Alot of us like it b.c we were into those bands when those albums came out and saw them for what they were. W/ that said, alot of those older albums especially corpse and obituary have been remastered digitally. By the way, MA is a treat live. They really cature an audience and Pete Sandovol has one of the most solid pair of feet in metal.
Just found this sucker of page 4 and thought I'd resurrect it with some track suggestions for people not as familiar with black metal and interested. Both tracks are from greybeard Norwegian BM bands. The first is from Emperor: The Eruption from the album Prometheus. Isahn's vocals are insanely good in this track, and it shows their versatility and what they coul actually do with good production, and what gifted musicians they are. Not something all BM bands can translate. The second is and unorthodox recommendation, from Carpathian Forest's album Black Shining Leather, the song is A Forest. It is an excellent example of how popular the electronic music phenomenon is in Europe and how it bleeds over into everything. Many old school BM artists state their enthusiastic awe of a lot of underground Electronica. Or whatever the hell it is called. Both tracks can be sampled on Limewire, but buy the album if you like it. These guys aren't rich like American musicians.
I don't get the fascination with metal. Never the less I will post the death metal song: the best ever death metal band out of denton were a couple of guys, who'd been friends since grade school. one was named cyrus, and the other was jeff. and they practiced twice a week in jeff's bedroom. the best ever death metal band out of denton never settled on a name. but the top three contenders, after weeks of debate, were satan's fingers, and the killers, and the hospital bombers. jeff and cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed for stage lights and leer jets, and fortune and fame. so in script that made prominent use of a pentagram, they stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names. this was how cyrus got sent to the school where they told him he'd never be famous. and this was why jeff, in the letters he'd write to his friend, helped develop a plan to get even. when you punish a person for dreaming his dream, don't expect him to thank or forgive you. the best ever death metal band out of denton will in time both outpace and outlive you. hail satan! hail satan tonight! hail satan! hail hail!
Well I didn't want to start a whole new thread on this so I guess I'll ressurrect this thread... Dissection founder and frontman Jon Nodtveidt committed suicide. crazy bastard This has been confirmed by their distributor as well. Its such a goddamn shame that a band that could (should) have been one of the most legendary metal acts was cut short by so much bullshit. For those who don't know, Jon was jailed for 7 years while Dissection was entering their prime after releasing Storm of the Light's Bane, an album alongside with At the Gates' Slaughter of the Soul defined an entire genre of European metal. After prison he reformed Dissection with new menbers and released Rienkaos, a good album by most standards but somewhat of a letdown to Dissection fans. He announced that with Rienkaos Dissection had come to a close and "the hungry end is near." He was never a "nice guy" by any standards but he was a brilliant songwriter and musician and I for one am sorry to see him go. Edit: Here's the statement from the official website. http://www.dissection.nu/
Jon was a wacko..so this doesnt surprise me at all. Storm of the light's bane is one of the best black metal albums ever.
As a fan of multiple genres...and I mean multiple...everything from hip hop to classical to classic rock, alternative, emo, punk (real punk), and harder stuff like system of a down and slipknot....what death metal would I enjoy? For me it's about any sounds that I like, regardless of the label put on it. I just haven't been able to find any super hard music that I can listen to repeatedly because I like it.
Hmm Jtuds I got into metal through slipknot, I then got straight into Cannibal Corpse which is a bit different from other people I know. Maybe some early Sepultura? Morbid Visions was their first LP and I enjoy it. Not really sure though, for me and my mates, it's either you love Death Metal or you don't. That's just what I have experienced
Lots of people, myself included, listened to melodic death metal before we got into the more brutal stuff. That might be a decent starting point. Bands like (older) In Flames, Children of Bodom, Soilwork, etc...might more appeal to you right now
