Worlds beyond the Veil? No I don't. It's on my wanted list though. I'm kind of on a buying hold because we had some things come up so I'm really short on cash. And the holidays are coming up so I don't want to buy too much because cd's usually make up the majority of what I get for xmas.

[Drunk Hobo]

I have yet to hear a death metal songs with an actual proper riff that can be heard. Can some direct me in the direction of one please?

I cant find it anywhere on Soulseek or in shops or online.

It got 10/10 in Terroizer, they reckon Its the best album of any genre ever to come out of the UK. I need this album!

[LegionsofMarduk]

I've found it in a couple online distobution shops, but they're mostly overseas. I think I've got some of the links saved I can post when I get home.

I'm thinking about getting the new Six Feet Under album... is it worth it?

[LegionsofMarduk]

Sure. Pick up Linkin Park's new one while you're at it.

I haven't heard anything fron Six Feet Under in a while, but if they're the same as they used to be I wouldn't waste the money. Lots of other albums out there that would be far better buys. Six Feet Under is to death metal what Blink 182 is to punk rock.

On a side note, anyone heard Ludicra? It's Ross Sewage's (of Impaled) side project. I read an interview with him and he mentioned them. Not too bad. Sort of melodic black metal. Check 'em out at mp3.com/ludicra (http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/305/ludicra.html)

**** straight Jim, that's exactly how SFU compare to DM. It's absolutely pathetic in my honest opinion.

I think some bands that could cover in the DM category, with still being somewhat popular could follow under:

Morbid Angel
Behemoth
Vehemence

I think, if he looks into those, there could be a pretty good chance he may turn out to like some MDM and DM. Though I am much like yourself, I enjoy BM, with dominance in the Melodic side.

Yeah but that's a pile of bollocks. Mithras are ace and I've been banging on about them for ages but that's the kind of hype that just pisses people off. The new album is brilliant - brutal but beautiful, spaced out but in your face, technical but catchy. In short an amazing album. But that review was a joke.

Tooz - you can get it for £6 from www.goldenlakeprods.co.uk who are totally trustworthy and good guys.

And yes - SFU are a joke. A disgrace to metal let alone death metal.

[Jondur]

Here's one for you! We've had loads of debates on Christianity in metal well now here's a tour to polarise opinion!!!

Decapitated, Rotting Christ, Extol UK Tour! by slasher

*bitches at the UK tour*

Ive been wanting to see Rotting Christ for along ****ing time.

[Jondur]

I wouldn't bother - they're shite. They never play any old stuff (ie nothing of Thy Mighty Contract etc) and just sound like a dodgy goth metal band.

no stage presence either.

[xAzagthothx]

wow ok so my post didnt go through. aol is soooo gay.

anyway... ive been hopelessly addicted to Immortal's "At The Heart Of Winter" ...namely... the song "Withstand the Fall of Time" that song is like the metal anthem for all that is frosty and black. its sooooooo amazing. ahhhhhh

WHY THE **** DID THEY BREAK UP.

[Death_metal_fan]

*waves* hey death head right here! out of all the death metal bands I listen to I must say these are favorite

Morbid Angel (visions from the dark side was one hell of a great song)
cryptopsy
NILE
six feet under
napalm death

thought I would put in the top 5 dont wont to go on and on. I hate where I live though I have to order most of my cd's and it gets annoying I had to order none so vile and blasphemy made flesh by Cryptopsy and it took over 2 weeks for those to get in. as of right now I would have to say I listen to six feet under and NILE more than any of them though. I love Nile because first song I herd was smashing the antiu and I usualley expect some slow part befor a song starts but when that song kicks in its as heavey as any musick will ever get and I just kinda stood there and smiled with glee at the sound, another reason nile is good is because although I am a bass player nile is one of the only bands I can sit down and listen to for the drums and nothing else (although everyone is good) but the drummer is straight out amazing. and six feet under are just gods of death metal anyways they are nothing short of great favorite song by them would be hacked to pieces and I thought the cover they did of war machine sounded really good as well

[Death_metal_fan]

Just on one note to anyone who disagrees with me that six feet under is great, how can you not like some who sings

Butchered - born to bleed
No known cure for my disease
I'll start to slice and kill and maim
I'll pick up a hammer smash in your face

if your actualley a true death head?
:thumb:

[LegionsofMarduk]

Don't worry. Get some Lykathea Aflame, Immolation, Suffocation, Entomed, Aborted and such in you and the Six Feet Under phase will go away. That's all we can hope for. And seeing as you're in the US, there are some really good distibution centers here in the states that have much better shipping times than 2 weeks.

NP: Beherit - The Oath Of Black Blood

[AmonAmarth]

Jim... you forgot Amon Amarth :( I say go get some AA, Einherjer and Vehemence and SFU will be gone from all.

Anything from "A Dead Poem"? That was the album that ironically got me listening to a bit of RC.

[Jondur]

Yeah they'll play some of that. Still naff though - anything after Triarchy of Lost Lovers is just not there for me. Now Fourth Knight of the Revelation is a song and a half!!

Yoth Iria
Unholy Master!!!

Cracking stuff.

Terminal: I agree. RC are washed up, Extol are ok but Thus Defiled are hugely underrated. Even here in the UK.

DMfan: Not a bad list - have a look through some of this thread you'll find a lot of good suggestions.

Azagthoth: Not only is it a musical shame that Immortal broke up but I will miss laughing at them, their photos and their hilarious live shows. Did you see the photoshop competition with all the photoshopped photos of Immortal as the Brady Bunch etc? Great stuff.

[LegionsofMarduk]

I never got to see them live.:upset: X 846,369,458,135
Maybe Grimfist will tour the states now. I really like their album Ghouls Of Grandeur.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Jon-I got the cd's today! I got home from work and they were in the mailbox. I just started listening to The River. So far I like it! I really like the female vox. Thanks man!

[roberttherretartedrabbit]

I hate death metal.

[LegionsofMarduk]

^^^Then don't ****in post here ****tard.


Jon-Finished listening to The River. I realy liked it. Now I'm listening to Primordial. Good stuff. Thanks again. :thumb:

[roberttherretartedrabbit]

cool down mother ****er. i say i dont like death and you ****ing freak. u truly are a hommo

[xAzagthothx]

yeah... Immortal's whole thing was making amazingly incredible music, but then being as goofily retarded, black metal stereotypical as possible. god i love them.

[Black Mage Carcass]

Only 150 more posts and it's bye bye good thread. :upset:

Maybe we should get Nacho or Kabz to scan through the entire thread and remove everything that's off topic? Then the thread could go on for another year and a half!!!!

Lately I've been listening (between Dream Theater, The Black Mages and Symphony X) to In Their Darkened Shrines by Nile. I must say, it's a lot better on it's 20th listen than on the first. Still not a patch on Suffocation or Morbid Angel, though. :p

Oh yeah, ENGLAND WON THE WORLD CUP!!!!! w00T!!!! :D

[xAzagthothx]

i still dont understand why theyre going to close the thread. but whatever.

In Their Darkened Shrines is a good disc... but i dont think it lays a hand on Black Seeds of Vengeance. ITDS is too... polished and mechanic. the 'instruments' that arent standard band ones were done by keyboard and computer, whereas on BSOV they were all done live using the real instrument that was intended. it gives the whole record a much more "living" feel you could say.

i was mucho pleased when they played Sarcophogus (sp?) last weekend at the fest.... that song is uber \m/

[OpiateForTheMasses]

I also like BSOV better, but ITDS is a close second. ATCONK is third. And why are they gonna close this thread? Its a great one!

yeah, you say you don't like it, then you proceed to say its for queers.
secondly, "hommo" is not a word. do you mean "homo"? anyway, homo is not even an insult, considering it means same.

[LegionsofMarduk]

i still dont understand why theyre going to close the thread. but whatever.

I think Kabz is the only person that does. As far as I can tell, no legit reason has been given. Unless it was on a day I was gone or something.

[xAzagthothx]

hey Jim: do you know of any clubs near your area that hold metal shows? were going to be booking a show in Ohio soon i think, and it would be pretty awesome if we could hit something up in your area.

[LegionsofMarduk]

I don't think there's much here in Kalamazoo, but there are a couple places about an hour north of here in Grand Rapids.

The Intersection (http://www.section.com)
The Orbit Room (http://www.orbitroom.com)

Both of those are in Grand Rapids. The Intersection was where I saw Cradle of Filth, Shadows Fall and Killswitch Engage. Nice place. Holds a few hundred. I've never been to the Orbit room, but I know they've had some metal shows there.

There is one place here in Kalamazoo that has a lot of shows called The Club Soda (http://www.theclubsoda.com/) . It's been a long time since I've been there, but it used to be pretty decent. I think you should be able to get booking info off all of those sites. If you get booked at any of them, let me know.

[Black Mage Carcass]

Legions, your name is Jim too?

HAIL ALL JIMMERS OF THE WORLD!!!!

:D

[xAzagthothx]

dude Jim thanks a lot. once i figure **** out with all my guys... im gonna be hittin that up. if something gets booked, you better come out lol.


...the Immortal still hasnt left my cd player... only on certain occasions when Pink Floyd takes over to seduce me with the pyschedelic luxuries of "The Wall"...

[LegionsofMarduk]

Oh hell yeah I'll come out! Where are guys trying to get booked in Ohio? What city?

[TremorChrist94]

hmm a rather slow day on the death heads thread...

so i'm listening to Venom's 'Calm Before the Storm' and oh man.....this album is incredibly overlooked

personally i think its some good stuff
this was the first album where Venom had four members, but it didnt stop them one bit....

so has this ever happened to you? you pick up an album from a band that you've never really heard anything about, and realized it's actually a really cool album?

[Jondur]

Glad you liked it. If you liked that Primordial album you should get "Spirit the Earth Aflame" which is class too.

Tremor: Its rare that I haven't heard of a band before I buy a record although I often haven't actually heard them. Sometimes I'll buy second hand vinyl just off the name and cover but that's usually when they're quite cheap!

[AIC/EAZY-E]

hey i havent posted once on this thread. this has been going for nearly half the ****ing year, or longer even. has most of this thread been just stupid mindless conversation about nothing at all, or are ALLLLL the posts about Death Metal?

[Jondur]

No. The 'any other death heads' thread is mainly about dinner jazz and hardcore techno. Of course it's about death metal. Anyway don't spam!

[Lefty]

Nicely done :)

As for getting albums without listening to them first; Can't afford it, sadly. Life as a student sucks when it comes to CD budgets. But I do get promos though, so all is good.

[Jondur]

I once bought a CD by a band called Brutal Juice (ha ha) it was called "Mutilation makes identification difficult" and was mildly amusing. But that was one of the only times I bought a full price CD off a band I'd never heard of.

Demos is different though - I buy loads of demos whether I've heard of them or not. I always figure that if it's less than a fiver I can take the risk. But as Lefty pointed out I'm not a student so can afford to do that!

[AmonAmarth]

I've been getting into this band lately, Sculptured... its ****ing insane how awkward this band is. If anyone listens to Agalloch, Don Anderson (lead guitarist for Agalloch) is the creator of Sculptured.

Tell me what you guys think of it, I like it but that's probably because I deeply enjoy Bad BM Vocals and I absolutely love his guitar work.

Anyway, here check out this song from Sculptured entitled "Together With The Seasons" it's from their first album:

I didn't like this band at all, sorry. But it got better when the accoustics kicked in. But... Not my thing. :eek:

[slayerrules]

from www.cryptopsy.net :



"18 : 11 : 2003 : Cryptopsy

Cryptopsy officially announces that Martin Lacroix is no longer with the band. We all wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors."



"25 : 11 : 2003 : Cryptopsy

Guess who's back."

[Brahm_K]

My favourite death metal bands:

Death
Children of Bodom
In Flames
Shadows Fall
Opeth
Morbid Angel

Don't know if some of these are considered death metal, because all these metal genres confuse the hell out of me.

[InTheDarkness]

i listen to death metal and black metal mostly....

favorite death metal/black metal bands:

Cannibal Corpse <-- Death Metal
Carcass <-- ?
Cattle Decapitation <-- Death Metal
Cradle Of Filth <-- Black Metal
December <-- Death Metal
Dark Tranquility <-- Black Metal
Dimmu Borgir <-- Black Metal
Emperor <-- Black Metal
Lamb Of God <-- Death Metal
Morbid Angel <-- Death Metal
Vehemence <-- Death Metal

my all time favorite death metal song would have to be Vehemences's "God Was Created"......
^ if you dont have it, download some songs from their site... theyre a good addition to any death metal collection

[BirdsOfFires]

Excuse my ignorance, but metal is the only genre other than pop I'm not very familiar with, and I have a question. Could someone please explain the difference between "Black" and "Death" metal? I think I like "Black" metal more (I like Opeth, Emperor, Dimmu Borgir) but I was wondering if someone could specify.
Once again excuse my ignorance.
Thanks.

There aren't any really hard lines between the two. The best thing is to listen to a bunch of bands from both genre's and make your own distinctions. I guess very generally speaking, death metal is lower growls, better production, blast beat drums. Black metal is typically higher pitched screams, tremelo picking, Poor production, a bit more atmospheric with the use of keyboards and synthesizers. If it sounds more like Carcass than Bathory, it's death metal. If it sounds more like Bathory than Carcass then it's black metal.

[Suffering Dead]

death/progressive/heavy/gothic/black

opeth
morbid angel
iniquity
emperor
tristania
strapping young lad
children of bodom

cannibal corpse
dying fetus
my dying bride

avenged sevenfold
and a bunch of more **** like that

[xAzagthothx]

ok let an expert take over here... haha

Death metal: there are generally two types of death metal: the satanic/religious/occult kind, and then you have the gore kind. That is lyrically speaking. then, musically, youve got Floridian death metal and New York Death Metal. Typically, Floridian DM takes the satanic side, whereas NYDM takes the gore side. This is not always the case, but its what happens more often. Musically speaking, FLDM is very fast and racey with huge musicianship, massive solos, and tons of blast beats. NYDM is very HEAVY and often contains pit breaks that makes the crowd mosh like theyre at a hatebreed concert. Vocally, death metal for both kinds is the low, guttoral growl with the occasionally midranger higher up stuff.

"Florida" style DM:
Morbid Angel
Deicide
Krisiun
Nile
Hate Eternal

"gore" NYDM:
Cannibal Corpse
Skinless
Suffocation
Exhumed
Dying Fetus


Now, black metal is pretty much music in evil form. its more... grim and dark, although somewhat similiar to Florida death metal and other satanic bands, like Morbid Angel. Black metal is usually characterized by higher pitch shrieking evil demon voices, very fast and racey music with a haunting, evil melody, and sometimes keyboards. Bands usually sing about demon stuff, or crazy winter land stuff. Corpsepaint is also a big part of black metal, to accentuate the evil grimness.

Key bands:
IMMORTAL - imo the king of all that is frozen.
Emperor
Old Mans Child
Mayhem
Zyklon
Dark Funeral
Darkthrone

[Tangy zizzle]

Yes, Im very sure that Don Anderson is in Agalloch:

That's sculptured's line-up, Ive been able to talk with him on a few occasions via Forums.

And to the second part of your question, if you judge those vocals to IllNath, Naglfar, Dissection, Mayhem etc... you can tell that they are rather bad.

yeah, i see don anderson in the sculptured line-up but i only see a J. Anderson in agalloch.

Good news on Lykathea Aflame from someone in touch with the band: I had mentioned the track Terminal had heard (which he described as a mix of CoF and Opeth)

"The track that your mate probably heard is the re-mixed "Land Where Sympathy Is Air" that was on the Obscene Extreme Festival comp from last year (2002). They (possibly the Obscene label guys) took the original track from the "Elvenefris" album and replaced the keyboard parts with the cheesy symphonic keyboards and it sounded terrible indeed.

That track does not represent anything new from them and I would hold-up before jumping the gun about the new stuff. "

I hope this is the case because it would be a real shame if they turned crap

Oh and btw they're now known as Lykathe (there's an acute accent over the 'e' but I can't do that on this keyboard!)

[kelly]

Hey there you like the same **** as me! I also like Type o Negative, Tool, Satyricon, basically anything thats heavy.I am a goth how bout you? the names Kelly but some call me Nightbloom(fire.)

Actually, the track I have is a remake of To Give. And I surely hope that the new album sounds like that. They were supposed to go into the studio in "fall 2003", so hopefully some new tracks will surface soon.

[Terminal Spirit]

Yes, people, including myself have read every post in this thread. Now don't waste our ****ing last 95 posts! :evil:

And so this one isn't wasted, has anyone ever heard anything by Thorr's Hammer? Not Thor's Hammer, side project of Capricornus, but a doom/sludge band from the U$A. The band contained members of Sunn 0))) and Burning Witch. As well as the single best female vocalist I've ever heard in my life. She was a real looker too. ;) I think there's a track called Norge, which can be downloaded at the Southern Lord website. Great music, and vocals which make Angela Gossow's breasts deflate in terror.

As you can see......even on this page someone is surprised at the number of posts....

question:

Dark Tranquillity...I listen to them, but want to know what the "death heads" classify them as?

[mega_man]

Longest thread ever. :cool:


Dark tranquility is good, i guess they could be called death metal.


And so this one isn't wasted, has anyone ever heard anything by Thorr's Hammer?

I went to their website a while back. a chick singing metal, pretty cool. she really is a good singer.


- mm

[ninjamonkey]

DT is awesome.

i hope htis thread is just locked rather than deleted.

[LegionsofMarduk]

No it's not going to be deleted. It's going to be locked for some reason yet to be determined by science.

And I'd call Dark Tranquility melodic death.

[ninjamonkey]

don't worry, we'll just start part 2 as soon as this is closed.

[baptized in blood]

i was listening to deicide and it was blame it on god and my mom came in and deicide said "you are the one who killed your own son" and my moms like,im glad your listening to a christian band instead of all that satanic music (and she wasnt kidding) lol

[PimpDaddyKabZ]

dude......its no big deal that its being deleted....













locked....sorry typo

but seriously, enough is enough seriously.
Unless someone can present a GREAT argument, the plan stands.

Don't be upset....be happy to be part of MX history :thumb:

[AmonAmarth]

Why close it, it's still going strong? You want it to be a part of Mx History then let it stand and continue to grow. As you can see only Metalheads post in here, so why does it needed to be deleted? It's a place to conregate and talk about Metal without having 'others' that don't really know metal interfer

Yeah i think that melodic death is a good name for this band and i'm a fan as you can see my name.

[AmonAmarth]

Ive noticed with Dark Tranquility that with his voice, and on his longer growls he tends to sound very much like some of the Melodic Black Metal vocals. Interesting enough, Ive heard that he uses Peanut Butter before singing, any solidity to this?

[grungeguitarist]

sorry if this has been mentioned before or anything but are you's gonna celebrate when you eventually reach 5000 posts

[AmonAmarth]

yeah, i see don anderson in the sculptured line-up but i only see a J. Anderson in agalloch.

Yes I know, I contacted Andreas about that... Though Im 100% sure Don Anderson is in Agalloch


Key bands:
IMMORTAL - imo the king of all that is frozen.
Emperor
Old Mans Child
Mayhem
Zyklon
Dark Funeral
Darkthrone

I think there are several that you have missed out on, that are still key... And I wouldn't put Dark Funeral in the lineup with Emperor and Mayhem.

Bands that I think are some of the most key bands in the genre:

Naglfar
They are the refined melodramatic band that I think has helped rise BM to a new state from what it was. Though they've been out forever, it's alway safe to say they are the backend.

Dissection
Melodic Black, Melodic Death... eh they can be counted as both (Ya know?), but they were probably the for-fathers of the entire genre with Mayhem and Emporer alongside.

Enslaved
Again they've been around forever, and have really added a public face to BM in general.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

only two weeks until Nevermore and Children of Bodom....:)

[Death_metal_fan]

Dark Tranquillity is a great band I love their work but to classify them as death metal...hmm its kinda hard because sometimes they arent and sometimes they are if that makes since lol I have noticed that his voice is alott different from all other death metal vocalist its what I would call 1/2 death metal with harmony :thumb:

[nji00]

this is the longest thread EVERRRRRRRRRRR i wonder if the kid who started this expected this many responses. 247 pages!!! ****!!!!!!!!

[Toozey]

Hey guys, I just got Mithras - World Beyond The Veil. Now I dont usually get really excited about Death Metal but I think EVERYONE should buy this album, it is beyond anything I have heard before in the genre.

Its a true masterpiece.

[PimpDaddyKabZ]

Ok.....another newb question.

I always hear good things about Nevermore since Opeth toured with them....but never gave them a listen because I have no idea where to start.

Any song recommendations (most recognizable songs from the band) or any info on the band?
Are they melodic death as well or what?

thanks

[OpiateForTheMasses]

I'd call them melodic deat metal. I think their best album would be Politics of Ecstasy. Songs I would recommend:
Lost
Enemies of Reality
Heart Collector
Dead Heart in a Dead World.


I'm also getting into Zyklon and Hate Eteranl. Any one recommend good songs? Ive heard Psykic Aeon by Zyklon and Catacombs from HE.

[Toozey]

An Eclectic Manner by Zyklon is an awesome song.

[OpiateForTheMasses]

I downloaded Eclectic Manner. Thats a great song. Thanks Toozey.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Both Zyklon albums are pretty good. World Ov Worms is a bit more black metalish. Aeon has a lot less black metal and is more straight forward death metal. I guess for songs I'd say check out

From World Ov Worms:
Hammer Revelation
Chaos Deathcult
Worm World

From Aeon:
Psyklon Aeon
No Name Above The Names
Specimen Eruption

I put Mithras' album World Beyond The Veil on my want list, but I highly doubt I'll get it for xmas. I've only found a couple of distributor's that have it here in the states. Eventually though will probably order it. Toozey, do you have it on your pc yet? Maybe I could get a couple tracks from you on Soulseek.

[Tangy zizzle]

Does anyone here listen to Mastodon? I guess they are classified as Death Metal, they have some grind and hardcore influences aswell.

So any listen to them?

[AmonAmarth]

Originally posted by Ve Das

They all have influenced the genre greatly.

[xAzagthothx]

to everyone asking about song recommendations:

Nevermore:

The River Dragon Has Come
Engines of Hate
Narcosynthesis
Dreaming Neon Black
The Seven Tongues of God
Pessimist or the Optimist


Hate Eternal:

Praise of The Almighty
King of All Kings
The Obscure Terror
Catacombs
Spiritual Holocaust
By His Own Decree


im not all that familiar with Zyklon... in terms of song names... but those lists will get you started on Nevermore and Hate Eternal.

[philiop]

any1 heard of grimfist?
it has members from immortal and deride and they just released their debut album and it ****in rules.

if u wanna check them out theres sound clips on the website www.grimfist.com

[LegionsofMarduk]

Yeah Grimfist has been mentioned a time or two. Ghouls Of Grandeur has been in pretty frequent rotation the last month or so.

On a similar grim and doomy trip has anyone heard Esoteric? I might see them next Sunday (although that's the same night as Deicide).

[Ve Das]

Dissection doesn´t have THAT much of an influence on BM and Naglfar and Enslaved have next to zero.

[AmonAmarth]

Those three bands are some of the longest bands in the scene, next to nothing they have provided a huge backend and some of them a public figure towards BM. So yes, they have added greatly to the genre you dumbass.

[xAzagthothx]

i have to really disagree about the Dissection thing. i believe them to be one of the forefathers of the whole genre... plus the whole murder deal makes them uber black metal lol.

Oi! keep it nice in here. Flaming is fine for the noobs and the "Wow this is big" dickheads but if you disagree with a regular just try and keep it nice.

I would say Enslaved have had an influence on all the viking metal types. Dissection have made an impact with newer bands but aren't really 'true' black metal anyway - half the time they have more in common with At The Gates than Abigor. I don't think I've ever heard anyone cite Naglfar as an influence.

[Toozey]

My copy of Mithras - World Beyond The Veil just arrived :cool:

This album sounds infinately better on CD.

[Ramsey]

A newb q:


Arch enemy: Death metal? Or metalcore?

I'm thinking metalcore.

[Carn]

Melodic Death Metal. same goes for old soilwork, in flames, children of bodom etc.

Metalcore is stuff like Hatebreed. Hardcore with metalriffs.

[Ve Das]

@Jondur: Me neither,which is why I felt I had to POLITELY correct him...
@AA: stfu n00b ;)

[Mustaine27]

dunno if it's been mentioned or anything, or if it's obvious but I recently stumbled across the top selling death artists and found it interesting......

Heres the list of the all time biggest selling death artists.

CANNIBAL CORPSE: 558,929
DEICIDE: 481,131
MORBID ANGEL: 445,147
SIX FEET UNDER: 370,660
OBITUARY: 368,616
DEATH: 368,184
NAPALM DEATH: 367,654
CARCASS: 220,734
ENTOMBED: 198,764

Plus! the top selling albums.

MORBID ANGEL – "Covenant" (1993): 127,154
DEICIDE – "Deicide" (1990): 110,719
DEICIDE – "Legion" (1992): 103,544
OBITUARY – "The End Complete" (1992): 103,378
CANNIBAL CORPSE – "The Bleeding" (1994): 98,319

The S/T Deicide album is supposed to be the biggest selling in history, but apparently they only started couting numbers in 1991.

Interesting list though.....I'd say.

[Ve Das]

It´d be interesting if we could compare the total CC,Deicide and MA sales with the sales of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest

[OpiateForTheMasses]

Would 2 Ton Predator be called death? Cause they are pretty cool in my opinion.
And I think New Millenium Cyanide Christ or W.O.E would be my favorite death metal songs.


Did you find those album sales on Blabbermouth.net?

[Mustaine27]

Nah, on the Metal Blade website.....but as far as I know they did appear on blabbermouth.net first.

[OpiateForTheMasses]

Yeah, I saw them on Blabbermouth.net a while ago. I wold have thought Entombed would have sold more.

[Mustaine27]

Yeah, that was my thinking aswell.....Napalm Death would have been up a fair few places I reckons if it was before 1991.

[OpiateForTheMasses]

I thought Tomb Of The Mutilated sold more than The Bleeding. Ah well. Six Feet Under sold a lot FAST. Despite they fact they suck.

[Mustaine27]

Thinking the same thing again. Chris Barnes riding his success.

[Ramsey]

its coming to an end you guys. :(.

[xAzagthothx]

deicide is so dumb... i really dont like those guys. they were so stupid live. glen benton kept breathing heavily into the microphone and was trying to sound evil and brutal, but came out nothing like mr. hate: Erik Rutan. plus... their sound sucked. they just bored me generally.

glad to see my good ole Morbid Angel has the top selling disc. Doesnt surprise me though... cuz Covenant was the first DM cd to be released on a major label.


oh yeah guys: NEW ANGELDEATH PAGE. its totally revamped, and i think it looks pretty cool. check it out. www.angeldeath.net

This is at least partially wrong. Cannibal Corpse reached the 1,000,000 mark quite recently.

And I am happy to inform you, that I have found the first albums of both Spear of Longinus and Destroyer 666, for your downloading pleasure. Violence is the Prince of the World by Destroyer 666 (http://pagansmurfen.ath.cx/~necro/mp3/Deströyer%20666%20-%20Violence%20is%20the%20prince%20of%20the%20world )

Favourite morbid angel song? Blessed are the Sick

Maybe This Means War or Dawn of the Angry here...I'm not into MA that much and yeh, its an mistake.

Does anyone know why Patrick Robert left Gorguts and have people here heard that Lord Worm is maybe back in Cryptopsy? :D

Cool. Thanks Kabz. Tooz...Yeah there's going to be a sequel thread, but I talked to Kabz last night about possibly removing some of the spam/"OMG this thread is huge" posts so we could keep this one going a bit longer.

[RideTheSpiral]

I picked up "With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness" by At The Gates today... I know these guys are well liked in here. What do you think of this album?

[Jondur]

Pure genius! I don't think they did a single album that was less than genius! The Red in the Sky is ours is probably my least favourite but they're all class. The MCD Gardens of Grief is much underrated and should be heard by all.

[Lefty]

I agree with Jondur here. Their whole discography is worth getting, as they are a must to anyone into gothenburg death, and in my opinion, a must to everyone into Punk, Hardcore, Thrash, and Death. "The Red in the Sky is Ours" isn't bad at all, I love that album. I picked up a copy of it yesterday, the re-release from Earache just to get the demo tracks, so now I have two copies of that disk :)

[Esp Griffyn]

Anyone heard of the band Red Harvest?I got there album "Sick transit Gloria Mundi" today.I dont know what to call em,as they dont fall into any of the normal genres,but they are damn good.

[LegionsofMarduk]

I think I've heard of them, but I don't think I've ever actually heard them.

[Esp Griffyn]

they are actually quite good.

[Lefty]

I have heard them live a couple of times, but never on records. It isn't my cup o' tea, but they are pretty descent musicians. Good live band if you're into them, i'd bet.

[HappyMarshmellow]

Red Harvest... I heard one song of thiers, "A.E.P.". If that is thier "sound", I would put them under industrialized dark ambient.

[metalhead72]

I assume you mean Nazi Occult Metal. I'm not sure what "noise" you're referring to. They production isn't that great, but it's not horrible. I've definately heard worse demos.

And I'm not sure about this whole deleting posts thing. I'll go through and delete any useless posts I might have made, but deleting my posts for no reasons would kinda be pointless, considering that the thread is supposed to be a resource for people to learn about Death Metal.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I was looking at Emperor's official web page at their previous members and their old member "Tyr" looks identical to me, same exact face only about 10 years older and with some facial hair. the resemblance is sickening. Got the hair, just not the age. bizarre i tell ya!

Are you as good on the bass as Tyr is?

Amazingly I found that I had made some posts that weren't informative, witty and erudite. So I deleted those.

And on the production front - sometimes a rawer production can help. Some black metal just wouldn't sound right with a warm, bright production. Take "De Mysteriis" for example - it ain't a good production by todays standards but the drums sound like cannons (Hellhammer before the triggers - sounds much better), and the frosty, biting guitar tone with Attilla's sepulchural moans.... FOG!!!

I saw The Crown at Wacken - great performance. Never really bothered to buy any albums although I've got quite a few tracks of various compilations/tapes etc. Which is best?

[Toozey]

Heres a question for one of the more learned members.

On Napalm Death - Scum the riff is the same as a Carcass song, I know Bill Steer was in Napalm Death but I didn't think he recorded the song "Scum".

Can anyone tell me which Carcass song it is? Its on the tip of my tonuge but I cant remember its name!

[Mardy]

"You suffer" :lol:

[loser57]

Hmmm..Death metal...

Cannibal Corpse
Nile
Carcass
Cryptopsy
The Berzerker (techno but still kinda death metal)
Decapitated

oh yeah, HEREAFTER, death metal from Stoke-On-Trent, England

Neither. Mike and Bill played B standard tuned 6 string guitars, and Jeff played a 5 string bass.

**** me sideways, he's finally back!!!!! Bastards haven't updated the English site yet, but it's on the French site loud and clear!!! Now all we need is a Atheist reformation, a Carcass reformation (once Ken's better) and Dave Vincent to return to Morbid Angel and I'll be happy bunny for the next year or fifty!!

Its not gonna happen any time soon.

[Ramsey]

^I know....:upset: it sucks ***...they were one of the best death bands out there.

[Toozey]

Yes but they imploded, by their last album it wasn't even Death Metal anymore.

Maybe if Bill Steer starts to get some interest in Death Metal again and if Ken Owen is well enough and if Mike Amott isn't busy with Arch Enemy we could see a reformation or something.

Still seems unlikely though :(

[Ramsey]

Mikes now guitar for arch enemy? *had no idea*

But yeah seems unlikely. Buried Dreams doesn't sound anything like death. Still though, they were quality no matter how far they strayed from the genre (imo at least)

No no, don't get me wrong. I love that song, and the whole cd for that matter, but its just that they strayed from death a bit, and really there is no prob with that as long as they keep making quality music, and they did. Too bad they stopped. :( x 49874

Buried Dreams is still Death Metal but very melodic stuff, I was referring to the album "Swansong" more Death Rock and Roll.

One of us four will be the creator, hopefully. Or maybe Coypu will come back from the grave to create it. He'd be most worthy of it.

And I personally would never want to see Carcass back together again. It just wouldn't be the same. They accomplished more for the death metal than, debatably, any other band. A re-union, with a new album, would add nothing new, and would be a disgrace compared to their glorious past.

If I could have any band re-united, it would, without a doubt, be Miasma. One incredible full-length album was just not enough.

And since there are only a few posts left, try to make them useful, not "oh no, there are so few posts left".

[conversesuck]

:rolleyes:

Anyway, for Morbid Angel, I reccomend starting with Covenant or Formulas Fatal to the Flesh. But all of their albums, with the exception of Gateways, are great.

Congratulations on arguing with the first post of a 5000 post thread!!

Went to the X-Mass fest thingy in London last night. There were loads of bands on but I only got there at 7pm as I'd had a band rehearsal. Well I saw Nile, Destruction and Deicide.

Nile were first up and again failed to touch me. They play well - they have decent stage presence (in spite of Jon Vesano's slightly arena rock-esque "Let me hear you make some noise!" stage banter) and had an OK sound but unlike on CD it just didn't do it for me live. This is the fifth time I've seen them now. The first time was a revelation, the second was a great gig and from then on I just couldn't connect with them live.

The Butcher strikes back! Devastating thrash attack! Hail to those who obey and believe in DESTRUCTION! And the Schmier roadshow was a non-stop party. Thrash ubergod Schmier was the consummate frontman, all bulletbelts and spikes, while belting out bile and spite in the way it was supposed to be. Highlights were of course Thrash to Kill and The Butcher Strikes Back. Easily band of the night - thrash is just great party music and Destruction are still producing great music!

Well, I've waited 10 years to see Deicide. They always used to do just one show in London, which was - until now- too far away so it's been a long time. I guess it was always doomed to disappint when the expectation and anticipation are so high. They WERE great, Benton was drunk as a skunk as always, the set was full of classics like Dead by Dawn, Lunatic of Gods Creation, Deicide, Sacrificial Suicide etc but wasn't quite the religious experience that I had hoped for. AND they didn't play Carnage in the temple of the damned.

Oh well am hung over and aching now but that's metal!

You lucky Bastard! I'd love to see Deicide also.

Did they play Bible Basher or Serpants Of The Light?

Nice to see a good time was had! :chug:

Can no one answer my question from a page or too ago? :(

While it is not as good as some of their earlier works, in my opinion anyway, it is still an excellent album. The band's musical talent is very apparent.

[Death_metal_fan]

eh Nile sucks live? that cant be lol I have been wanting to see the live forever, heaven forbid they play near Tennessee/Virginia

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

^^the new Morbid is a good album, not the best tho

[LegionsofMarduk]

I just have to get in one last post before the thread closes.

Ahhh...the memories. I had been browsing the forums for a while, but it was this thread that made me finally join and it was the thread that I posted in first.

Anywho...Heratic is a good album. It's not as good as Formula, but it is a good album none the less. I'd say it's well worth the $15 I paid for it.

i thought Nile were awful live, and i know other forum members aggreed with me when i posted a concerr review. luckally Kreator and Vader made the show worth going to. IMO, Heritc is a **** good album. Is say as good as forumla, but not as much as their earlier work, still worth buying for sure.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

I wasnt impressed with Heretic. I was a little let down. Sure, it was good, but it didnt strike me like the way I thought it would.

I've actually heard both good and bad things about Nile live. Mostly bad, but a friend of mine who saw them thought they were incredible when he heard them. Once at least. He also claimed that Carl Sanders was a really great guy.

And since this is probably gonna be my last post in this greatest of threads, let me just say that, were it not for this thread, I would have saved a hell of a lot of money on CDs. :D

Thank you very much to everyone who has ever posted something useful in this thread. And with extra special thanks to Jon, Jim, and Greg. (And Coypu) Without you, this never could have happened.

Ive seen nile twice, the first time they were pretty awful, but the second time they were beyond amazing. I think nile is one of those bands that really needs a good sound guy to sound good to be honest. Like the first plae i saw em at, the sound guy did not know how to handle extremely low tuned guitars, and it made everything sound like mud. The second time, the sound guy knew exactly what he was doing and it sounded great.

Thats my theory, they could however just be one of those hit or miss bands. /shrugs

[Zmev]

Only thing close to death metal i like is Shadows Fal

EDIT: Oh yeah!!!! 5000l

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

along that like try some more "extreme" thrash/death like Hate Eternal, or even Kreator or Vader.
