any other death heads?

[Deathcrush]

I am guessing it is death metal/grind.

Or is it black?

Or is it black/death?

EDIT : To Happy Marshmellow

[Stevie]

Can someone please tell me who Coypu is?

I am guessing the assumption is being made from my rather arogant "seriously, don't try me with what I have and haven't heard in black metal" comment, and that Coypu was some sort of know it all ****-sucker?

Correct?

Copy You...?

EDIT: Nevermind, I remember a really old member.

[Deathcrush]

bingo. Although I liked him and he knew his stuff.

Meh. If are judging my character from the posts I have made in the past couple of days...meh.

I am aware that I have been dickish over the weekend.

Sorry.

Meh.

[Toozey]

Coypu was the dude. Bring back the old days.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Coypu opened up a lot of peoples taste in extreme metal. but he could be a real *** about it sometimes. He did know his stuff though.

[Jondur]

aaah you're ok - there's quite a few people on here who really know their stuff and have been into extreme metal for a long time so any kind of elitism can get our goat.

Apart from the sort of elitism that says Candlemass are better than every other band in the world. Combined.

[Jondur]

In fact I think we should combine Coypu, Toozey, Zakath and Dargon to create some kind of flaming monster!

[Silenius]

I think by new Emperor he means like IX Equilibrium-Prometheus era Emperor
Yeah thats what I meant.

/old

[Deathcrush]

I am not really an elitist at all, it's just I get alot of **** from my death-metal-fan friends for being so envolved in black metal and it really bugs me. Ah, I want to kill them.

Actually, I usually take the piss out of those pseudo-elitist types.

Really? Are they retarded or something? Oh well, you're lucky you know people who even listen to death metal.

Jondur: I think you left The Emperor out of your amalgamated flaming monstrosity though!

[Cardboard Headgear]

NP Aghora - Aghora. Someone present me with hard evidence that Sean Reinhart is not god.

That's as impossible as proving that Reinhart and Malone aren't the deadliest rythmn section around.

Only if it's one of those giant fire-breathing robots that eat cars during intermission at monster truck rallies.

We already have Trogdor for all our fire breathing-one armed flaming dragon needs

[CaptainWaits]

I picked up Dimmu Borgir's "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant", and so far it's my favorite of Dimmu's work

Great Album

[hex135]

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could tell me a death metal song with the fastest and longest double-bass/most complex drumming you know. My friend does nothing but bash death metal (though he is a great prog drummer) he says he can play any death metal drums no sweat, I'm out to prove otherwise. Thanxxx for the help.

[manuscriptreplica]

Give him Slit your Guts by Cryptopsy as a start, Flo owns any prog drummer anyday. Then give him Land where Sympathy is air by Lykathea Aflame, then rub his face in the dirt for being such a close-minded fool.

Edit: and for stupidly fast double bass work, Opening of the gates by Morbid Angel

[PIGS(1 different one)]

Why pay for the demo. ;)

[bassaholica2004]

Maybe its just me, but Infernal Winter by 1329 seems amazingly hard on drums. Frost keeps every note perfect. I think that Frost's blastbeats are a lot better than Flo's. The seem to have more energy, or aggression, or something. Flo's seem to be all laid-back to me. He's still a badass drummer, but I like Frost's style more.

But I FINALLY got Death- The Sound of Perserverence. And man I thought ITP was good! This is ****ing brilliant. I love the vocals on Painkiller; the intro scream is orgasmic.

[ArandomBassist]

truth to that... TSOP is my favourite death album (well out of that human and ITP)

my friend wants me to make her some mixed cds to help her "Expand her horizons" im thinking of making one death metal cd one black metal cd and one misc. (for thrash and prog etc)

what do you guys think are some essentials?

[ATM]

Here is a question for you guys. What is the correct pronunciation of Opeth? My family lived in Norway for a few years, so my dad brought up the point that he didn't know of any Swedish words with the "th" sound. I had been pronouncing it Oh-peth, just like it's spelled. Am I wrong?

Heres a start on black metal :

Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Mayhem - Funeral Fog
Satyricon - Mother North
Emperor - Inno A Sanata
Anaal Nathrakh - Pandemonic Hyperblast
Immortal - Tyrants
1349 - Liberation
Dimmu Borgir - Stormblast

Start on death metal :
Death - Flattening of Emotions
Cryptopsy - Phobophile
Mithras - worlds beyond the veil
Necrophagist - Fermented Offal Discharge
Nile - Unas Slayer of the Gods
Behemoth - As Above, So Below

Some melodic death :
All Shall Perish - Laid To Rest
Amon Amarth - Pursuit Of Vikings
At The Gates - Blinded By Fear
Carcass - Heartwork
Arsis - The Face Of My Innocence
Dissection - Nights Blood
In Flames - Behind Space
Quo Vadis - Break The Cycle

[Bartender]

I always preferred Silence Calls the Storm to Break the Cycle.


NP Aghora - Aghora. Someone present me with hard evidence that Sean Reinhart is not god.

Maybe the existence of Messiah Marcolin?

Coincidentally, as I read that, I was listening to another post-Cynic Reinert project, Aeon Spoke. It's not particularly metal, but it's surprisingly good, even to me. And Paul Masvidal has a surprisingly good singing voice.

I think "Psyrens" is their best song, but really, anything off that album works.

I'd also add "Earthly Love" by Gorguts, "Geodosic Dome" by Wormed and "The Leper Affinity" by Opeth (as she is new).

I'm not sure if these songs are allowed, but they would work well for someone new to the genre:

The Red Chord - Nihilist
Glass Casket - Pencil Lead Syringe
Between The Buried and Me - Mordecai or Ad A Dglgmut


Can anyone tell me anything about Ephel Duath? Tangy told me to check them out ages ago, he said they were jazz black metal or something. I don't generally dig black metal, but neither does Tangy and he's never given me a bad band to check out. Can anyone give me further information and possibly some tracks to hear?

[ThrashMaster27]

Seen as how there was an ask for Thrash as a mini segment, some of the essential Thrash tracks are....

Exodus - Bonded By Blood
Testament - Over The Wall
Overkill - Head First
Forbidden - Good As Dead
Hobbs Angel Of Death - Brotherhood
Slayer - Tormentor
Kreator - Riot Of Violence
Anthrax - Deathrider
Sepultura - Troops of Doom
Megadeth - Five Magics
Metallica - The Four Horsemen
Destruction - United By Hatred
Venom - Countess Bathory (Not fully Thrash, but still badass)
Artillery - Time Has Come
Sodom - Agent Orange

Balls to it, that's more than enough.

they are more jazz metal but with hardcore type screams and punkish clean vocals... i dig em... very individual in their sound. i recommend "the passage" or "Labyrinthine"

Ephel Duath are an amzing band. They're an Italian band, to me they hardly have any black metal elements in their music, it's actually more like BTBAM-style brutality, which I assume you'll like, br3ad_man.

The jazz element is a big part of their music - before this band, the bassist and drummer were purely jazz players, having never even been associated with the world of metal. I saw them play with Dillinger Escape Plan, who you could draw similarities to - most songs are ferocious at the start, and go into jazz-style melodic mid-sections. Just so you know, they have a trombone player, who often solos and kinda gives a strange vibe over the madness below.

As for songs, their latest album 'The Painter's Palette' is really good, and is supposed to be their best. Check out some of the stuff from that - I recommmend 'Labyrinthe' and 'The Passage'.

[Distorted Vision]

alright any CC fans do you think Vile is their best album??
I have arguments about this all the time and as this seems to be the death thread...

[HappyMarshmellow]

Why pay for the demo. ;)

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/writePage.cfm?myType=music&bandid=168792&bandnamesave=lordgorcrow

They're not paying, I'm paying to send it to them. There's only the two songs there, and I've fixed one of them up. Half my stuff there is horrible... on soundclick... don't see it... i mean to erase it

[LordDargon]

No, Tomb of the Mutilated probably...

[Ve Das]

In fact I think we should combine Coypu, Toozey, Zakath and Dargon to create some kind of flaming monster!

You want ANOTHER sicko like me on the board???

[HappyMarshmellow]

Cool. How technical are the death metal parts?

Well, I'm fast with my right hand, but it's not very technical. The most technical song on that demo is Graves Of The Fathers, I guess. Not really a hard song to play once you get used to it though.

Only The Painter's Palette and after (if indeed there is anything after) is jazzy. Their earlier albums, or what I've heard of them anyway, seem to be a lot harsher, with a bit of an electronic take on the black metal. Painter's Palette is good, though.

[HappyMarshmellow]

I hate Ephel Duath's vocals, but otherwise it's some good trippy music. A totally different take on extreme drumming! Awesome!

Blood On The Swans by Kataklysm. its from teh new album. its kick ***! that drum beat is ****ing fast.. almost sounds fake

[blinded by lies]

Yeah, Black Metal has very bad production...

But anyways, check out any song by Emperor from the albums In the Nightside Eclipse and Anthems to the welkin at dusk.


What's your AIM i may be able to send some to you. :)

On another note...

Anyone have Dan Swano's album Moontower?
I just recieved it in a trade today, and I really like what I am hearing.



IXxMUTINYxXI is my aim account.. im on 28.8k so if you have soulseek IM me on AIM and tell me you soulseek account. same goes for all of you ESPEACIALLY if you have any live recordings of Misery Index.





any one like misery index? pretty awsome band they blend it all together. yea most people i ask that quesion to say that they are half of what dying fetus was but they dont wanna be like fetus.. its a whole new direction and i personally love it. quite far my favorite band besides acid bath.

This weekend I'll go and print up some extra copies of my demo, and then I'll go to the post office and mail them out to you guys.

I think I'm going to mess around with the mixer levels once more to try and get a better sound out of it.

Maybe in a few months, if I write some more songs and get my friend to help me out with the drums, I can do retakes of all the songs and make the drums and vocals actually sound good.

To be honest, I feel a little embarassed about giving my demo out. I don't know if I'm a perfectionist or if it really sounds like crap

I have heard those tracks on soundclick, and trust me those ones sound fine.

Wait 'till you heard how necro sounding my demo will be.

[HappyMarshmellow]

The good ones on soundclick (Doused... and Fear the End) are the ones I spent days working on. All the others have the tracks recorded live, especially Graves of the Fathers (meaning that I start up the drum machine and play the guitar and scream at the same time).

By the way, don't ever listen to Deadlands. I'm planning to remake that; my explanation is that a horrible error occured with the drum loop, and I severely messed up playing the synth. I churned out a mixdown and posted it, but I don't know why. It's all dissonant and worthless until the last minute or so, when the black metal part begins. Even then I haven't programmed the drums correctly.

I can't wait for my friend to help me out as a session drummer and get this recorded in a better home "studio".

[Deathcrush]

I am going to cover Natassja in Eternal Sleep tonight, I think.

I am actually just going to do a cover tape before making my own demos, as I am not very experienced. :(

[HappyMarshmellow]

Awesome, Darkthrone. I should really get back to my black metal roots for some new material...

[NJMetalMeister]

Of course. A friend of mine used to use a 14.4, I think.

here is where my computer nerdness starst to shine through. The first modem I ever had was a 2400 baud modem (thast right 2400, not 24.4 or anything weird like that, but more like 2.4), but i can even remember back to a time when modems didnt even have speed labels, and were just called "modem"

[Toozey]

Amazing, isn't it?

I got "Worlds Beyond The Veil" yesterday, and I love it.

Awesome!

[Vitriolic Rage]

I got the bass tracks for my cover of Lost Wisdom done today, tomorrow I'll record guitars, and when I'm in band rehearsal room (even though this BM thing is sort of a side-project) I'll do vocals.

Might not be too great though, I have a crappy soundcard, and a crappy mic, but it'll do, black metal isn't supposed to be crystal clear:)
I'm doing songs of my own, and a few covers.
The other cover I'm doing is Windir - Todeswalser

[Deathcrush]

Where might I find the bass tab for Lost Wisdom, I am far too lazy to be working it out right now.

[bassaholica2004]

Since everyone is talking about demos, my guitarist/vocalist is coming down February 10, I think and we'll finally be able to record our stuff. It won't have drums, as neither of us can find anyone than can double-bass or do blastbeats, but hopefully it will be ok. I might even be able to use a drum machine on a few of the simpler songs, but most have a lot of tempo changes and stuff which we need a human to do. And hopefully our demo will be about an hour long. :)

[Deathcrush]

I am having great difficulties programming the drums for Natassja... for the part where the snare goes off before the first riff change.

:( anyone?

[manuscriptreplica]

The only Darkthrone CD I don't have on me is Under a Funeral Moon unfortunately, so I probably can help you out if I can find it

That CD is essential!

Anyways, I ended up doing Transylvanian Hunger. I finally finnish it off, then everyone goes to bed, so I can't record right now. :(

What's a good album of Darkthrone's to start off with??

and what style do they fit under??

[Toozey]

Listen to Obituary you ****s.

[Deathcrush]

So, let me get this straight...

You are making a demo of all covers? :confused:

No, I keep changing my mind about things, originally I was going to make a demo, then I had a few covers I was going to throw on it. Then I noticed the amount of covers I appear to have done or am doing.

I am working on my demo of my songs, but to get experience etc. I am also doing all these covers.

I had an idea, how about I make my demo, and throw a load of my covers on side-b of the tape as a sort of extra?

[Deathcrush]

What's a good album of Darkthrone's to start off with??

and what style do they fit under??

Soulside Journey - Death metal album, quite technical, not really brutal though.
Blaze in the Northern Sky - Cold, cold black metal, long-ish songs.
Under a Funeral Moon - Cold, haunting black metal, the song lengths are shortened considerably, and the drums and guitar riffs are simple and repetetive. Puts you in a sort of 'trance'.
Transylvanian Hunger - Kind of along the same lines as Funeral Moon, but even more simplified, and in my opinion, even more hypnotic.
Panzerfaust - Still black metal, though less dark and hypnotic, and more diverse - some of the tracks even show a great deal of Celtic Frost influence!

These are my favourite Darkthrone albums, hopefully my short descriptions will help you choose which one you wanna go for.

[manuscriptreplica]

What's a good album of Darkthrone's to start off with??

and what style do they fit under??

Probably Under a Funeral Moon, and they are 'raw' black metal. Either that or Transilvanian Hunger are good starters. Ablaze in the Northern Sky is black metal with death metal riffs, as they had just produced a great death metal album, Soulside Journey, and the influence was still with them. Post-Transilvanian Hunger is pretty substandard unfortunately

[Deathcrush]

I was listening to Soulside Journey tonight for the first time in ages, it can actually start to get rather boring at parts, but it sure makes up for it with atmosphere. Although the following three albums own it completely for atmosphere.

[Silenius]

Soulside Journey is considered Death Metal right? Also doesn't Fenriz sing on that one?

[Corporal Compendia]

Listen to Obituary you ****s.

Good idea, I'm glad you thought of it.

Cause of Death, funniest, yet coolest intro ever, awesome solo, but I'm refering to Tardy's bit... I'd be amazed if somebody could actually decipher that without reading the lyrics.

WEEELA! WETYING! LYYYA! YOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Tardy's inbetween banter on the live songs was great too... I wonder if that was his speaking voice. :amaze:

THIS NEXT ONE'S OFF OUR NEW ALBUM! THREATENING SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES!

[Ihsahn]

Soulside Journey is considered Death Metal right? Also doesn't Fenriz sing on that one?

No, it's still Nocturno Culto on vocals on Soulside Journey.

[Deathcrush]

Soulside Journey is considered Death Metal right? Also doesn't Fenriz sing on that one?

Yeah Soulside Journey is death metal. On a side note, Euronymous called it black metal because of the lyrics etc. behind it. Then again he also called Deicide black metal because of the anti-Christian lyrics.

If you mean 'is Fenriz the main vocalist' then, no, Culto does the vocals. If you mean 'does Fenriz sing a certain part on it' then I don't really know, he probably does somewhere. I only actually found out the other day that it is Fenriz that shouts "Nocturno Culto!" before Culto starts doing vocals, in In the Shadow of the Thorns (A Blaze in the Northern Sky - track 2).

[manuscriptreplica]

someone needs to change this topics name to "The Offical True Metal Thread(no NU alowed)"

No they don't, and you spelt official wrong

[ATM]

Here is a question for you guys. What is the correct pronunciation of Opeth? My family lived in Norway for a few years, so my dad brought up the point that he didn't know of any Swedish words with the "th" sound. I had been pronouncing it Oh-peth, just like it's spelled. Am I wrong?

Anyone got any idea?

[Riva]

Well, I don't much about Scandinavian, but I do know that ankomsthall is arrival hall, jakthund is hunting dog and outhärdlig is intolerance. Also, a famous Jarl was named Thorgensson.

Given this evidence, your father is wrong, and Opeth is pronouced O-peth.

[Cardboard Headgear]

Oh-peth, it's even how the band themselves say it.

[One of a Kind]

That's how I say it.

Oh-peth.

EDIT: Question. How would you pronounce Janne? Yon-ee or Jan-ee?

And how would you say Jaska? Yas-ka or Jas-ka?

How the hell do you say Naglfar? I don't even know any pronunciations for it.

[Jondur]

It's not a swedish word hence why it's got a -th sound.

Not much else to say really - lalala bored at work (only been here half an hour)...... not even been listening to much death metal recently - it's all about Mozart (apparently it's good for foetal development! - something to do with being the most structured music). But have got some CDs with me - lets have a look..... not much in there that's deathly, think I'll listen to St Vitus "They say my songs are much to slow, but they don't know the things I know!!!!" Classic.

[Wolferinn]

That's how I say it.

Oh-peth.

EDIT: Question. How would you pronounce Janne? Yon-ee or Jan-ee?

And how would you say Jaska? Yas-ka or Jas-ka?

How the hell do you say Naglfar? I don't even know any pronunciations for it.
Jan-ee and Jas-ka:P

Naglfar.. hm.. i pronoucne it NagElfar:P i cant say Naglfar-.- it sounds like nagelfar when u try to say "Naglfar" dont know why:P

[Cardboard Headgear]

That's how I say it.

Oh-peth.

EDIT: Question. How would you pronounce Janne? Yon-ee or Jan-ee?

And how would you say Jaska? Yas-ka or Jas-ka?

How the hell do you say Naglfar? I don't even know any pronunciations for it.

Yah for both of them.
Naglfar I have no clue, I just say it the way it is.

EDIT: Bastard!

[One of a Kind]

That's how I was saying it..nag-el-far...but I wasn't sure...as it is one ****ed up word.

[Riva]

Narg-el-vir is how I say it. But I am corrupted by Latin and German.

[One of a Kind]

Mmk. These two band names are ****ed up.

Anaal Nakhrath. An-ul-nak-rath, An-al-nack-rath?

Necrophagist. Nee-kro-fage-ist, Nee-kro-fag-ist?

[Jondur]

An- al- Nak- rath

Nek - ro - fage- ist.

I got my friend into Mithras and BTBAM. w00t

On other news, today I was talking to a second cousin or something and he was telling me that he likes death metal like P.O.D. and Marilyn Manson. When I tried to explain real death metal to him he wouldn't listen to me. It's a shame :(

People obviously have no idea of what "death" means in death metal...

[LegionsofMarduk]

It's always a good laugh when someone thinks they know what death metal is when they really have no clue.

On a side note...I've converted a lady I work with. We were talking one day and I mentioned a band and so she said send her some music.

Me: You sure? I listen to death and black metal.
her: Just put a bunch of your favorites in a folder on the network and I'll move it to my pc.
Me: Ok...I'll send you some stuff that'll make your grandma cry.

So I put a few songs from a bunch of different artists in a folder. I got a little carried away with it and it ended up being like 300 songs. But she likes it! I've sent here probably 15 albums since then. I've sent her Arcturus, Axis Of Perdition, Anaal Nathrakh, 2 Nargaroth albums, Mayhem, Marduk...all kinds of stuff.

Ihsahn-Did you get the cd yet? I sent it out a week and a half ago. What'd you think?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I'm looking to get into some Morbid Angel, what would you recommend?

[manuscriptreplica]

The first three albums, specifically Covenant

[LordDargon]

No, start with Altars of Madness and go chronologically.

As for Anaal Nathrakh, on one of the songs off Total Fu.cking Necro, there is a soundclip with the dude in LOTR incanting it, it's "Anaal Nathrakh"... in other words, exactly how it looks.

EDIT: Emperor, why do you always say "In the Shadow of the Thorns"? You did it once before so I figured it was a typo, but you did it again. Isn't it "In the Shadow of the Horns"?

[HappyMarshmellow]

Altars of Madness is a very awesome album. It takes a bit of time for people to get used to it, but once that happens it's very catchy.

Anyway, I know your married buddy, so take it easy... But I haven't heard the whole story, so I'm probably not even entitled to an opinion.

[manuscriptreplica]

You must be a ladies man or something, most people look at me strange when I tell them I listen to death metal

[Lord Abortion]

Get Domination and alters of madness
they are pretty good

[Cannibalcorpse1626]

No, Tomb of the Mutilated probably...
ah cool that's what I thought but hey ... vile was the other arguement

[Believer]

It's always a good laugh when someone thinks they know what death metal is when they really have no clue.

Yah, so far everyone that I've played death metal for first recoil in fear of the vocals, then ask "why would anybody do that?" and then after a period of time start to really like the actual music

[Deathcrush]

EDIT: Emperor, why do you always say "In the Shadow of the Thorns"? You did it once before so I figured it was a typo, but you did it again. Isn't it "In the Shadow of the Horns"?

Ha ha, when my friend gave me the album, he didn't have the actual album case so he wrote down the track listing for me, and wrote it as 'Thorns'. When I didn't really know Darkthrone, I obviously just assumed it was 'Thorns', and then I found out it was 'Horns'.

It just kinda sticks, when I think of that song, I think of the word Thorns instead of Horns, since I was so used to reading it as that for so long.

:lol:

Next on the list to suggest to her: Finntroll, Troll, Mortiis...

[Ihsahn]

Legions I did indeed get your cd. There was lots of stuff I've never bothered to listen to before, and I enjoyed most of it except for the Bethledeign, which is not really my cup of tea. The Vardoger reminded me of Theatre of Tragedy + black metal, which was rather interesting. I'd heard some Satan's Blood before on a split I own of them and Kult ov Azazel, so it was good to hear more of that. Most of the black metal sounded quite good. I'll probably look further into most of what I heard here :).

I have exams right now, so I PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE I'll get your cd out after that.

[Deathcrush]

Happy Marshmellow, where are you from, might I ask?

I want to know where this demo is coming from.

It's not a swedish word.
It was the first one I ever got. I got it off this guy who is now an emo-kid, who gave it to me to show me what black metal was, then turned emo and decided to let me have it.

Which is excellent! :D
That's an odd change...

EDIT: legions and superpeer

[i am the robots]

I read the Opeth biography on their site, and Mikael said something about Opeth being a legend about "the city of the moon" or the name of the city from the legend, or something like that.

[Toozey]

Opeth have no place in here.

[CaptainWaits]

Yes, Opeth do suck above and beyond

I bet you are a close minded elitest. Oh wait, thats reality.

[ATM]

So is Opeth considered Black metal?

[craggyisland]

If anything, they're progressive extreme I guess. Not black, for sure, and not really death either.

[sensitiveorgan00]

[joedaddy21291]

is shadows fall considered death metal?

[PIGS(1 different one)]

No they are not considered Death Metal.

And about the Opeth thing, although I rarely listen to them anymore I still consider them my favorite band since they got me into extreme metal. I can see why people don't like them... but to say they have no place in here is just retarded...
Do you want us to make a thread called " Any other extreme progressive heads?" and going by your post Toozey, no black metal bands belong in here either.

[LordDargon]

Oops, I was supposed to quote Sensitiveorgan00 here.

Cool, sounds like a combination of Nile and Psycroptic. I will definitely be checking out more :thumb:

is shadows fall considered death metal?
No. Shut up and get out.

Pigs: I think he said that becuase Slowpeth are lame, weak, unthreatening, and boring, not becuase of a lack of death metal-ality.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I like Opeth's harmony stuff, especially the song 'The Apostle in Triumph' but stuff like 'Masters apprentice' i don't really like.

Yeah, but eventually, he'll turn older than 17 or so, then he'll stop caring so much.

So uh, I think it's officially official that I'll be at the Maryland Death Fest, and that it will be the best show I go to all this year, and probably the next... a lot more years as well. OFFICIALLY.

[manuscriptreplica]

That is the best show, like, ever

sounds like a combination of Nile

Let me tell you something, and to other people who think every death metal band sounds like Nile. The majority of bands use the harmonic minor scale to make songs, which, if you play, sounds rather arabic/snake charmer/middle eastern/whatever. Nile just focus on making their sound arabic/snake charmer/middle eastern/whatever, most DM do not focus on this, but because of the scale they use, it may sound a tiny bit similar, like it did in that sample. Which happened to be great by the way

[Corporal Compendia]

Haha, well make some friends then man. We GTA area folk are trying to get a caravan of cars going... at least 2 anyways. I'm not much for long drives though, so I might take a plane down there and back... but if I don't want to spend the cash on that, I'll join a car.

[CaptainWaits]

Get Unholy Cult, I'd say it's by far there best

Close to A World Below is also quite good, but nothing of theirs compares to Unholy Cult

[Ihsahn]

Yeah, I don't personally know a whole load of people who are into this stuff, so trips like this are problematic due to that, and my 17-year-oldness which also presents some other problems.

Well hurry the hell up and get older then! Besides, age rarely matters to people like myself and all the others going. I have friends 10+ years older than me.

Oh well, maybe you can go next year. Of course, there's a rumour that this year may be the last Maryland Fest...

Dawn of Possession (the album). Just because it's excellent.

Death Metal is the best style....My favorites are:
1)Children of Bodom
2)Immortal
3)Dimmu Borgir
4)Hypocrisy
5)Suffocation
6)Deicide
.........many many more

Children of Bodom, Immortal and Dimmu Borgir are my most favorite bands

[funk_metalguitarist]

Chidren of Bodom, Immortal and Dimmu Borgir aren't death metal. However, I do like all bands u mentioned. :thumb:

[kpittz]

Dimmu and Immortal are black metal, its all in that same sort of category

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Dimmu and Immortal are black metal, its all in that same sort of category


Not really, death metal and black metal are completely different.

children of bodom is death metal...isn it
well anyways awesome band Alexi Laiho kicks ***, and so does morbid angel and in flames!

[Iron Man]

children of bodom is death metal...isn it
well anyways awesome band Alexi Laiho kicks ***, and so does morbid angel and in flames!

Children of Bodom = Power Metal (With synths and harsh vocals)
Morbid Angel is Death Metal, In Flames is MeloDeath

That Maryland death fest is better than I remembered. It's times like these I wished I was American :(

[ninjamonkey]

maybe i should go to maryland. I dont live too far. 45 mins to an hour away.

i'm definitly going to the death fest too since i live a little less than an hour away from baltimore as well

[hex135]

Hey, just starting to get into Cannibal Corpse. Any album reccomendations? Some people say start off with "Eaten Back to Life". But others say that I should just start out with what most people consider to be the best album which is "The Bleeding". Advice is appreciated.

Go to www.betweentheburiedandme.com and download "Mordecai". I'm turning into a fanboy...

If you get these guys, you'll love them.

[Ve Das]

Thanks.

Whats a DM concert like?

Depends on the crowd.It can be lame as hell with ZERO moshpit and people just standing there with their girlfriends(Wacken) or it can be the biggest moshpit you´ve ever seen in your whole fückin life(Cannibal Corpse/Malevolent Creation/Dying Fetus in Salzburg)

[Jondur]

You're joking aren't you - I've never seen anything in in over ten years of DM shows like Morbid Angel at Wacken 2000. It was chaos - the pit was the size of a football pitch and there were casualties just flowing over the barriers.

[Ve Das]

Well,we had a 10 people moshpit during Unleashed in 2004 and we had about 50 people moshing during Amon Amarth the day before.Pretty sh1tty audience,if ya ask me...

[Jondur]

Half the time that's cos it's 100 degrees! With no shade!! But Wacken ain't about DM - it's about beer, denim, metal screams and avoiding crap like Freedom Call!

[Vitriolic Rage]

I'm going about making a fake ID at the moment, as I went to Josephs Well yesterday, and it says you have to be 18 to enter, well I've already bought my ticket for the Nile gig there, and it didn't say that on the ticket.
I look 18, but if they ask for ID I probably won't be able to get in.
I'm 17 by the way.

[manuscriptreplica]

Just get one of your mates, they don't care if you look similar or not, just if you have ID

[ThrashMaster27]

I didn't look 18 when I saw Anthrax in April, when I was. They didn't even bother asking me....Just play it cool and they don't even bother asking.

[br3ad_man]

They're not death metal, but are any Aussies going to see Isis? If not I reccomend seeing them, they'd be awesome live and it's only $30.

[ThrashMaster27]

You talking to me? I'm quite aware that Anthrax are not Death Metal if you were. I was simply giving advice.

[br3ad_man]

No, I wasn't talking to you at all man, sorry, I think we just posted at the same time.

[manuscriptreplica]

When I went to Anthrax it was at a night club, so they checked everyone's ID's. You probably won't need one, but you should have one to be on the safe side

[ArandomBassist]

They're not death metal, but are any Aussies going to see Isis? If not I reccomend seeing them, they'd be awesome live and it's only $30.

i would be seeing them if it wasnt over 18s in sydney :upset:

i listened to covenant by morbid angel today... id forgotton how good it was seeing as i hadnt touched it in AGES.

[ThrashMaster27]

I don't get the Australian system. You see any band in the UK and most of the time it's all ages and even if it ain't its usually something like 14+. What's with Australia!

[ArandomBassist]

well if a band wants to have alcohol at their gig it either has to be over 18s or licensed (which to my understanding costs a fair bit of money). so some bands want alcohol at their gig and dont wanna pay a lot... or they just dont like young people

[cakemusic412]

deicide

Hmmmm well ALL of the gigs I went to in England had a licensed bar, which sold us Lager all night even when I was 16. I think Alcohol laws are a little less strict over in the UK.

[HappyMarshmellow]

Is anyone else sick of melodic death?

I think it all sounds so recycled and weak. I also have a furious dislike for anyone who calls groups like Lacuna Coil "melodic death". Man, death metal isn't about that!

I think the only good melodic death album I own is "Heartwork" by Carcass, and it gets boring sometimes.

To me, there seems to be a severe lack of agression in death metal... I checked out Murder Squad's last release and it sounds more stoner than anything (But Spunkslut is an awesome song, and it's a good overall release). Even stuff like Incantation sounds a bit watered down and not really angry but just technical.

Deicide is one of those groups that I can sense real fury in... What was that side project Glen Benton was in? And what are some other bands that have the fury of Deicide?

[HappyMarshmellow]

Hmmmm well ALL of the gigs I went to in England had a licensed bar, which sold us Lager all night even when I was 16. I think Alcohol laws are a little less strict over in the UK.

I think the drinking age over in the UK is 16, isn't it?

Well, over here in Puerto Rico, nobody cares. They don't even check for ID anywhere (in the big colliseums like Miguel Agrelot or in the actual bars like El Ocho Negro, The Zone, Rumba, etc.). I'm 16 and I can get any kind of alcohol, but that's also because most people (teens included) are mature about alcohol here. If they notice you're some sort of jackass little kid trying to jump on cars and do retarded things, they'll just boot you.

[Stevie]

Alcohol is 18 in England. So is pr0n, yet we can have sex at 16.

Yes! Melodic death just lacks aggression for me (on the most part). Amon Amarth has great amounts of aggression, but ****ty bands like In Flames just lack it all for me...

[HappyMarshmellow]

Death metal isn't a style to impress people with, it's something to get pissed off with. It's a morbose expression of anger or sadism, sick stuff like that. It's supposed to be dangerous

[manuscriptreplica]

What was that side project Glen Benton was in?

Vital Remains?

[Deathcrush]

I am not the biggest on uber-technical death metal, to be honest, but I like gore-metal.

[NJMetalMeister]

Alcohol is 18 in England. So is pr0n, yet we can have sex at 16.

the US is even more strange. Alcohol is 21, cigarettes and pr0n is 18 (although for some reason some pr0n is for 21 and up, but most people dont care what they sell you), and the age of making whoopie is 16.

What a strange country I come from.

[manuscriptreplica]

I assume pr0n is ****?

18+ for everything here... though there's a dodgy deli around every corner

Edit: po rn is censored, I see.

[Deathcrush]

Yeah, I was rather confused when I visited Orlando and got ready to buy cigarettes, only to find that I had to be 18 years old.

[Stevie]

What's strange is that we can have all the sex we want, but we can't watch it.

[Deathcrush]

Ha ha, true.

Anyways, can anyone recommend me some good, less technical, old-school death metal that sound like Unleashed?

I haven't been into death metal for a long time.

[HappyMarshmellow]

Vital Remains?

Thanks buddy

[manuscriptreplica]

Yeah no worries, the Dechristianize album is quite good, it's the only one with Benton on vocals

[Distorted Vision]

So, what'll be the better gig, Morbid Angel + Necrophagist, or Nile + Dying Fetus + Necrophagist?

I'd like to see Necrophagist regardless, so what's a MA gig like?

[Jondur]

Anyways, can anyone recommend me some good, less technical, old-school death metal that sound like Unleashed?

.

Grave, Merciless, Shadowbreed, Asphyx, House of Usher, Nirvana 2002, Skull, Carnage etc.

Old school sweden is far better than newer stuff! First person to point out that Asphyx are dutch is killed slowly.

Ah yes, I have Into the Grave by Grave, I remember liking it.

Thanks for the recommendations, I will check the others out tonight.

Ive seen every band on that list except Necrophagist live, and they are all excellent. I would say just go to whatever bands you like better. Personally i would go with the Nile show, but thats because I tend to like Nile better than Morbid Angel. Either way it should be a good show.

[LordDargon]

God Among Insects sound like old-school death, even though they're new. I've only heard the track on their site though.

Vital Remains has agression to spare Marshmellow :thumb:

And while we're on the subject of Incantation (not really) are any albums essential/must-gets? I have Onwards to Golgotha, which I enjoy, but I don't want another 40 minutes of the same.

So there will be female vox and keyboards. hmm...

Looks like Thomas Corn's brother will be playing bass though. Prepare for massive bass shredding :lol:

Ha, Bobathory was great

Hopefully the bassist is as good as his brother

I have God Among Insect's World Wide Death, it's really not that great. It sounds oldskool, but it's really lacking good material. If only they could write more interesting songs...

By the way, I have one of the only 2000 original copies of Incantation: Live In Brazil.

[Deathcrush]

Now listening to: Armaggedon - Kill Yourself or Die (album).

Recommended.

[HappyMarshmellow]

:lol:

DEATHSTAR! :lol:

[Deathcrush]

:lol: yeah, I laughed at Deathstar too!

The cover for the Star Wars-ed up Panzer Division Marduk was great too!

:lol:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

personally i liked AT-ST Division Marduk the best :lol:

[RCA]

I think AT-AT Division Marduk would've pwned more.

Old school sweden is far better than newer stuff!
What about the couple of new bands coming out playing in the old style? I personally think Bloodbath's stuff is just as good, if not better than, the old stuff. And on that note, The Emperor, also check out Bloodbath, Ribspreader, and Facebreaker.

[misfits_fiend]

umm... im new here. anybody ever heard lost soul?

[ATM]

I'm planning on attending the Maryland Death Festival. Should I buy my tickets early?

[manuscriptreplica]

There's no point in buying them late, when they could (and probably will) sell out

[Bartender]

When are they supporting Morbid Angel?

Also, why not go to both?

[br3ad_man]

Over 18 gigs are stupid. Pretty much everything over here is over 18. I was only able to go to one gig (Muse) last year and everything else was over 18. Isis would be the best live and it's only $30. :(

[Bartender]

I used to think over 18 gigs were stupid too (missed Nile in 2001 because of that), until I turned 18. Now I'm glad they keep all the little shits away.

[manuscriptreplica]

Exactly how I feel. But you put it funnier than I would :lol:

NP Sodom - Agent Orange

might as well throw Paganizer on that list too.

[Deathcrush]

I have heard Bloodbath, only about four of their songs though. I thought they were okay, but I wouldn't think they sounded old-school. :confused:

"DIE! It's time to pay for all your sins!"

Yes?

And, "I hear you cry, I watch you die, it fills my soul with such delight!"

I remember liking those two lines. :)

[ninjamonkey]

God Among Insects is good, not bad.

Haha, most of us here are under 18.

over 18 is not just a UK thing. It's also at some clubs in the US.

How the hell do you say Naglfar? I don't even know any pronunciations for it.
I know this is from a few days ago and already been answered by myself and others, but I thought of something funny.


Q: How do you pronounce Naglfar?
A: Dissection

:wave:

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Q: How do you pronounce Naglfar?

:lol:
Necrophagist is supporting Morbid Angel on their European tour, to whoever asked.

On that note, a bud of mine picked up some really old VHS of some Morbid Angel show from 1996. It's funny how Vincent feels the need to introduce every single song.

[Corporal Compendia]

Yeah really, why wait? I've got to get my tickets soon, but I want to get the plane tickets out of the way first. Then buy the ticket, then book a hotel, then play the waiting game for a few months... :upset: few...months... I WILL NOT MISS THIS SHOW!

[blinded by lies]
