any other death heads?

[the2stranger]

good night Stoic.

I'm going to my cd store tomorrow I think, but I have no clue what I will be buying, most likely a DM album.
but might as well be a rock or electronica album.

anyone got some semi mainstream recommendations on the DM side?
my cd store has run out of underground stuff for me, so there is no need to even look for it there :(

[RCA]

Do you have the new Nile? Try that. :thumb:

Just thought of mentioning those 3 for failry mainstream DM

Seizures are really scary to watch. My brother had one in the back seat of the car once. My mom thought he was faking at first (cause we do stuff like that). SHe was wrong.

Seizures are scary indeed. When I was 17, I watched my mom have a seizure... one of the scariest things ever. I never expected it to happen.

[IAJP]

I was never into Death's early stuff. I have a burned copy of Leprosy, but I find it really boring and generic. Even "Pull The Plug," one of their most famous songs, does nothing for me. Give me Symbolic and put on Crystal Mountain.
Sorry to bump this onto a new page of this thread but...what!?

What appeals to you about Symbolic more than early Death? Not only is Scream Bloody Gore one of the best death metal albums of all time, it's one of the best albums. I fail to see what appeals to you from Symbolic and what does not from early Death... :confused:

[VeedBok]

I dont really like old Death that much i perfer the newer stuff. Death is one of the only bands that i like the newer music better than the older music.

[Mekkalayakay]

I just purhased Human not too long ago. I can't really judge it yet, as I haven't given it enough listens, but I prefer Sound of Perseverance to it.

(for now anyway, this could change)

[VeedBok]

yeah human is an awesome album probably my favorite of theirs.

[HappyMarshmellow]

How did you mess everything up?


There's two different particularly funny occasions:

Genocide Apocalypse

Bandmembers:
Richard - Vox
Mongo - Guitar II
Me - Guitar I
Pepi - Bass
Oso - Drums

We had to rehearse 3 songs worth of material and stage act to be able to play. We had to do this is in a week, and the day of the competition we did it too.

We sort of pushed our luck by trying to go there a little later than we should have, but we were an hour late due to a government detour. Some politician's children had been shot in a drive by, and they cleared the roads.

When we got there, the staff told us to go back home. After all of our efforts, Richard and Mongo got roused up and started exchanging harsh words with the security there, and Mongo got really excited and wanted to find Richards gun (we he had brought to a practice once and Oso got scared and he wouldn't give us rides until he left it at home). It almost got to the point where they would have had to call the cops.

Just then, a friend that works inside lets us pass, but we have to play last.

Some metalhead friends Jan Carlos, Francisco, and Javier from Purgatory and Thanatopsis got the crowd sort of riled up when they played groove metal before us and a doom song to finish it off.

When we play, Richard was really screaming at the top of his lungs and everything was just so organic and powerful, the Judges got pissed and turned off Richard's mic. Richard just threw the mic down, jumped off stage and started slamdancing into the crowd (that was pretty intense for a high school competition, everyone was in high school being watched by their families and stuff).

When we finished our set, people actually came up on stage and crowded around us cheering for us and high fiving and stuff. It was pretty wierd.

Schizophrenia

Members:

Jan Carlos - Guitar I, II, vox
Me - Guitar II
Oso - Drums
Francisco - Bass

We got to the place, and it was a complete chaos. We decided to sit around and wait for our cue, but nobody ever came and told us, so we lost about 2 minutes of our time (10 minutes). We quickly got our equipment, set up, and then the people told us we needed extra cables and that they weren't micing the amps, they were just DI'ing them. We were pissed because they never told us to do that either.

We play one song which was a combination of oldschool death metal and alternative sludge. People were cheering for us after we played, it was really loud and confusing. We never had anyone cheer for us like that before. That coulnd't possibly be right.

While we were playing our song, everything was horribly mixed and there were no monitors or they weren't loud enough, so we lost the time once or twice. And then there was the case of the judges anouncing on the PA the exact time we had throughout a song, while we were playing it.

Once we finished the song, which we timed that took 5 minutes, they pulled us off stage.

We got into super heated arguments with the management, and they kicked my friend out for no reason even though he was a roadie with our band. That's when I started using my wide vocabulary of vulgar insults on the security guard, and they got fed up with us and claimed we were "disturbing the peace".

Then we lied and said that the parents of the bassist worked for DACO, and they got scared and gave us $25 to leave happilly.

:lol:

Nothing's funnier than singing Venom songs full blast in the parking lot in front of the people who went there to listen to Nirvana covers.

[ninjamonkey]

With all these seizure episodes, did you all have to go to the hospital?

[IAJP]

(for now anyway, this could change)
It's ok, I just don't see why it's regarded higher than their earlier work. Maybe it's something to do with production, I dunno. I have always prefered earlier Death though. :)

[HappyMarshmellow]

I'm pretty stoned right now so, uh... yeah.

i figured. haha

[breakinginflames]

my grandma had a seizure and tore the sink out of the counter. neway i just picked up the new naglfar cd the other day. its called pariah which is probably hebrew for something, but its pretty good. i really like 'a swarm of plagues' and 'and the world shall be your grave'. oh and their melodic black metal.

[Mekkalayakay]

It's ok, I just don't see why it's regarded higher than their earlier work. Maybe it's something to do with production, I dunno. I have always prefered earlier Death though. :)

My first and only album besides Human was Sounds of Perseverance, so I was comfortable with their later sound. It'll just take me a bit longer to get into the older albums, that's all. I'm quite sure I will like them all. <3

[Dancin' Man]

New Naglfar, eh? how does it match up to Diabolical?

NP - Judas Iscariot - In the Bliss of the Eternal Valleys of Hate

This drumming really is weak.

[LegionsofMarduk]

The new Naglfar is pretty decent. I don't think they'll ever top Diabolical or Vittra, but it's definately worth picking up.

[RiceMonster]

Awsome. it was on sale last time I went to my CD store. I'll have to pick it up if it still is.

Symbolic appeals to the Gothenburg-kids, while Scream Bloody Gore appeals to the Old School death/thrash metal crowd. It's pretty obvious. Both are descent albums though. My 2 cents on this;
I've never regarded Chuck as a good songwriter/composer. He was a riffmaker, and a bloody good one. Meaning, I like the simpler, rawer albums. The latter efforts, namely TSOP, Symbolic, and partly ITP, I think he overdid it. It was more than he could handle, and the songs tend to be real choppy and lose their flow.
So everything between the early demo's and up to Human are my favorites, with Human being the ultimate Death (...and maybe even the ultimate Death Metal)album.

[RCA]

I keep forgetting...was it Sean Reinart or Gene Hoglan that did drums on Human?

[Dancin' Man]

Death just doesn't quite do it for me. The vocals aren't great and the production annoys me. It always sounds too thin.

[slaughteredfirst]

Symbolic appeals to the Gothenburg-kids, while Scream Bloody Gore appeals to the Old School death/thrash metal crowd.

Symbolic is my favroite album and no one I know considers me a Gothenburg kid.


I love old death as well just not as much.

Reinert.



So I get my driving license in late September and I was looking forward to blasting some good stuff out of my speakers in the afternoon after school, because our parking lot is busy as hell.

And now I find out that the car I will be driving doesn't have a cd player.........

Thank you.

I'm not really a great fan of death, I have all their albums, IMO their are a classic DM band.
a great start out band, but I get bored with them after a while.
scream bloody gore and Human are my faves

[br3ad_man]

So I was just talking to Toby from Kayo Dot via email. I asked him if he had any idea where I could get a copy of "Bath" and he said I should probably just download it. :lol:

[Firebringer-]

I listen to
vader
amon amarth
black dahlia murder

celtic frost
nile

[Dancin' Man]

So I was just talking to Toby from Kayo Dot via email. I asked him if he had any idea where I could get a copy of "Bath" and he said I should probably just download it. :lol:

That's what their myspace says. All the old Maudlin albums are out of print with no signs of a repressing so just download them.

[i am the robots]

That is absolutely amazing :lol:. I love when bands are cool about their material, cause in all seriousness, the money is not in record sales, it's in touring.

[Stoic]

I think all underground bands are cool and being heard/discussed matters more than making money.

the money is not in record sales, it's in touring

But you need some money in advance in order to tour, right?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I still try to buy albums as regularly as I can, but lately I have become and absolute Soulseek whore.

[Stoic]

I've set limits to myself. I try not to download new albums (00s) I know I can find on stores or mailorders I usually buy from.

[Corporal Compendia]

So I picked up the new Wetwork CD last night. I doubt any of you have even heard of them, on account of them just being a small time local in the Toronto area, but they are a much better band these days.
Pretty standard tech-death, but the band is full of talent.

[Stoic]

Pretty standard tech-death

what did you just say? :D

They're not in MA :( Or in fact there's a metalcore band under the same name. Links, samples, uploads?

[Corporal Compendia]

They're mislabeled on Metal-Archives. That is indeed them though... I wouldn't say they're metalcore. Judge for yourself. They're not spectacular or anything... but they're getting better and better!

Ehh... Wetwork don't do it for me just yet, and I'm not a big fan of Doc's vocals on the albums, though at NLF 04 they came out really nicely live.

[Stoic]

I didnt like the second song. From the first song and the samples in their official site (which is pretty cool btw) I can say that they're quite typical like you said like a less melodic late carcass and also have some hints of Death's middle era. By no means they're metalcore though. Thanks for mentioning them, since they're mislabelled I wouldnt have known them otherwise (=by advanced search).

[Lefty]

Symbolic is my favroite album and no one I know considers me a Gothenburg kid.


I love old death as well just not as much.

I didn't label you in any way, nor do I know why you care about this. I was just pointing out the fact that Symbolic is bridging the gap between Death Metal and melodic Death Metal, alas, it appeals to the Gothenburg-kids. I think it's a great album myself, The best of the latter Death albums.

[IAJP]

Yeah I completely understand what you're saying.

With later Death, in my opinion, it didn't sound the same, you can add all the hollywood production that you want, but you aren't neccessarily going to get a good album, which is (in my opinion) what the first 2 or 3 Death albums are. Don't get me wrong, the later Death albums have their moments, but compared to the earlier they aren't as good.

[the2stranger]

I went to my cd store today, and I had no clue what to buy.
so I bought:

Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine
Yes - Close To The Edge (with bonus stuff)
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Death - Scream Bloody Gore (finally I have the original one)

I think I will replace all my burned copys of Death cd's with real ones, seeing all there cds were on sale.

np: Katatonia - Nerve

[Stoic]

prog rock, how come?

[the2stranger]

haha
metal is not the only thing I listen to :p
I was in a random weird mood, and those cd's were cheap so I bought them.
my customercard is full now, so I can get a free cd now, i tink I will be buying Kataklysm - shadows and dust

[Stoic]

/doesnt know much about Kataklysm

I tried some prog rock once but it seems I want heaviness in my music. Is prog rock as complicated as prog or tech metal?

yes, technical skill are on par with the metal brother, but I guess it's just a taste, that you like it or not.

maybe you should check out Katatonia, a doom metal band that went form doom/deasth to a more rock like doom style.
might get you interested more in rockish stuff ( although Katatonia isn't prog)

CLOSE TO A WORLD BELOW! :D

Dawn Of Possession is my favorite Immolation, because it's so damn thrashy at times. The last two riffs of the title track completely wreck your neck!

And what's this about the vocals being cheesy? Dude, you're listening to death metal. :p

Last Fair Deal Gone Down and Brave Murder Day are ace albums by them, they're doom metal (although their later stuff is more rock)
they sound a bit similair ro Opeth, that's one band that I can say they sound like.

I personally don't like it as much as the others due to production. Not that I can't handle raw sounding stuff, I just think Immolation is better heard with clarity so you can hear the unique and ****ing amazing riffs. As others said, get Unholy Cult or Close to a World Below.

Good to hear!

Kraftwerk go back 30 years at least now, and make music purely with keyboards. Nothing to do with metal at all, but still great stuff.

[the2stranger]

nothing to do with metal indeed, but I can see Kraftwerk influencing ectreme metal though, their ideas were and still are fresh.

I think EBM and bands as Red Harvest have profited quite a bit form Kraftwerk

Bartender had sent me a song of theirs in a CD-R trade. With the exception of the vocals I liked the tech death part - although Bartender thinks it sounds forced - but the clean part was too mellow :p. He also told me that that was their best song so I trusted him and didnt check them further.

Burzum parts 4 and 5 available at Burzum.org


A Burzum Story: Part VI - The Music

The last eight months I have received a lot of letters from people who are interested in things like what instruments I used when I recorded the Burzum albums. Personally I am not the least interested in these things, and therefore I don't have the motivation to actually reply to such letters. To me this is like an echo from the past, when "everybody" in the Death Metal underground were talking about such things. The focus on instruments, brands, sound studios and "production" is actually one of the things I rebelled against in 1991.

Since the people who never get a reply from me have complained to me about my lacking will to write them back, I will write an article about this subject, that will hopefully answer all their questions.

***

When I recorded all the Burzum albums I used an old (I think) Weston guitar that I bought cheap in 1987 from an acquaintance. The bass I used was the cheapest bass guitar they had in the shop and I don't even know what brand it was. I never checked and I never even thought about it. When it came to drums I simply borrowed a drum kit from the drummer of Old Funeral (later Immortal), or another musician living nearby, and "of course" I have no idea what brand that was either.

When it came to guitar amplifiers all the Death Metal guys told me that the way to get the "right" (trendy) sound was to use Marshall amps, and since I didn't like that sound I bought a Pivee (Pivey?) amp and used that instead. On "Filosofem" I didn't use a guitar amplifier at all, but instead used only the amplifier on my brother's stereo (that of course was not intended for that use) and some old fuzz pedals.

For "singing" I used whatever microphone the sound technician handed me, or - when I recorded "Filosofem" - I asked for the worst microphone he had, and ended up using the microphone in a headset.

When I recorded the debut album (in January 1992) I spent only 19 hours all in all, from the moment I arrived in the sound studio with the instruments to the album was mastered (!). The number of hours spent (in April 1992) on "Det Som Engang Var" (DSEV) was 26, a bit more because I had brought nobody to help me out with the transport of the instruments and such, and had to carry and set up everything myself. "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" (HLTO) was recorded (in September 1992) in something between 20 and 30 hours (I don't remember), but that included two songs that were never included on the album (a very poor version of the "Burzum" ["Dunkelheit"] track and a track I never used). "Filosofem" was recorded (in March 1993) in only 17 hours, but that is largely due to the fact that I used a drum kit that was already there - in the studio, used by some jazz or rock band the day before - so that saved me a lot of time. Besides, at that point I had gone through the process of recording an album a few times already, so all the technical stuff had become routine by then.

The reason I used Grieghallen sound studio was because we had used that studio when we recorded an EP with Old Funeral, in 1990 I think, so I knew the sound technician (a very positive, skilled and great guy from Bergen), and it was located only 1,5 km away from my apartment in Bergen. Had I lived in another town I would obviously used another sound studio.

When I recorded the debut album both Øystein Aarseth ("Euronymous", in Mayhem) and Harald Nævdal ("Demonaz", in Immortal) were present much of the time and they helped me carry the instruments - and for fun Aarseth was allowed to play a guitar solo on the "War" track. He also (along with me) "hammered with his fists" on a large gong in Grieghallen to make sound. This was used as background noise on the track called "Dungeons Of Darkness" and on the DSEV intro.

When I recorded the other albums I was usually alone with the sound technician. However, Samoth (Thomas Haugen, in Emperor) was present when I recorded two of the tracks in the "Aske" mini-LP and parts of HLTO. He played the bass on two of the "Aske" tracks, and was present when I recorded the drums on both "Aske" and HLTO. He played the bass on "Aske" because I for a short period in 1992 flirted with the idea of playing live, and therefore rehearsed one or two times as a band (a guy named Erik Lancelot, from outside Oslo, was supposed to play the drums). I quickly woke up from the "playing-live-psychosis" and luckily changed my mind, so I continued like before, as a one-man-band with no need for even session musicians.

With the exception of a song on HLTO and a song on "Filosofem" I recorded everything on the first take. The problem with the song on HLTO was technical, and I had to record the drums on the title track twice, and on the "Jesu Død" track on "Filosofem" I had to do a bass line over again simply because I was tired after just having recorded both the guitar tracks (my "bourgeois fingers" weren't used to all that work...).

The mistakes made on some of the tracks during the recording could easily have been avoided had I only bothered to rerecord certain parts, but the point at that time was to rebel against the streamlined (Death) Metal music. The whole point with the musical rebellion was to not make "perfect" albums, to not make music with "this or that" brand of instruments, it was to not go to a particular sound studio to get "this or that sound", and it was to not sound like other bands. A few mistakes makes the music more alive and personal, it simply gives the music some "soul" and originality, so I never bothered to correct anything. The music on the Burzum albums is simply an honest and sincere, unvarnished and clear representation of me. Certainly I am not flawless or without mistakes, so neither is my music.

There was an ideology behind this; it was an embrace of honesty and an appreciation of the pure and natural. If the sound is not defined as good by some stuffed shirt (failed) musician working for a music magazine it matters no whit to me. The natural is always the best, whether we are talking about music or something else. The natural and best music is (as I see it) music with "soul", and not music that has been polished for months in a studio to remove even the tiniest mistakes (peculiarities).

Even as early as in 1990 most of the Death Metal bands followed the current, were incorporated into the commercial music business and had lost all their "soul". The so-called Black Metal bands shortly followed, and (as far as I know) with the exception Fenris of Darkthrone they all sold out and failed to live up to any of the original Black Metal ideas. The younger bands from Norway, that came in 1993 or later, as a result of the media coverage of our tiny milieu, never even knew about these ideas, so they ironically never actually sold out. However, it is a bit silly that they do all these things and look a certain way and don't even know why. They just joined a herd and never even knew where the herd originally came from or where it had been before they joined in. In short we can say that the so-called Black Metal bands became commercialized too.

At this point I should remind You of what I wrote about in the start of this article; people asking me about things like what instruments I used when I recorded the Burzum albums. Such questions are as irrelevant and uninteresting to me as questions about what brand of pants or underwear I wore when I recorded all albums would be. Does it really matter what instruments I used? I don't think so, and I think it is a point to not care about such things. I used my guitar, and if I had had another guitar I would have used that one instead. As simple as that. I used whatever was the most handy and my main priority was to make honest and original music - and I could have achieved that with just about any instruments, regardless of their age, price and brand. As simple as that.

I appreciate Your interest in Burzum, and thank You for Your attention, but please don't expect me to give priority to letters with questions about instruments, technical details or other things in which I have no interest whatsoever. If You find these things interesting that is fine by me, but don't expect me to share Your interests.

Certainly interesting to know the solo of war (coincidently playing right now, heh) was Euronymous...

A Burzum Story: Part VII - The Nazi Ghost

As many people might know I have been condemned a lot because I have used a number of "political incorrect" terms to describe my own ideological foundation. I have used terms such as Satanism, nationalism, racism or racialism, Paganism or Heathendom/Heathenism and even "nazism".

Some of the terms I have used have been rather inaccurate, and I realize that people react to the different terms differently, depending on where they come from or who they are. A Scandinavian, for instance, has no good reasons to emotionally react negatively to "nazism", but I understand that a Slav has a perfectly good reason to do so. While the German "nazis" behaved exemplary in Denmark and Norway during WWII, they certainly didn't behave exemplary in Poland or the former Soviet Union. In Norway only about 0,03% of the population was killed in WWII (and the vast majority was actually killed by the Allies), while for example in Byelorussia as much as 25% of the population was killed - and had a lot to do with the Germans' incredibly lowbrow and surprisingly ignorant view on the Slavs and their culture.

You might think the German's stupid view on the Slavs is a "nazi" thing, but (unfortunately?) it seems to be more like a German view, and its roots go back at least to the middle ages - when some German crusader veterans, the Maria Knights and the Swordbrother Knights, joined forces (and formed the Teutonic Order) and went to Christianize the "primitive" heathens (Balts and Slavs) in Prussia, Memel, Kurland, Livland, Estland, Polotsk, Pskov, Ingermanland, et cetera.

However, the Norwegian "nazis" never had a negative view on the Slavs, and even the Norwegian SS-volunteers reacted negatively to the Germans' behaviour in the Soviet Union, so as a Norwegian I never really thought about the fact that it might offend Slavs when I - a Norwegian - occasionally used the term "nazism" to describe my ideological foundation. Naturally I never had the intention to offend or alienate Slavs. Personally I have a very positive view on Slavs and Slavonic culture, and I think it is sad if people think otherwise.

The reason I have been drawn to and occasionally have expressed support for "nazism" is mainly because many of the Norwegian (and German) "nazis" embraced our Pagan religion as our blood-religion and they rejected Judeo-Christianity as Jewish heresy - and they were the first to do so in a long, long time! I have also experienced that most of the people supporting me or what I stand for are so-called "nazis" - while almost everybody else has just condemned me and then boycotted me and everything I have done. What makes me different from the "nazis" are basically three things; unlike them I am not socialistic (not even on a national level), I am not materialistic and I believe in (the ancient Scandinavian!) democracy.


So, since I am not a "nazi" I began to use another term, in the late 90ies. I did it not just to avoid confusion, but also to find a term more suitable and accurate than the other terms I had used. This new term was odalism, from Norse óðal ("homeland", "allodium", "allodial law", "nobility", "noble", "inherited goods", "fatherland", "land property", "distinguished family", "distinguished", "splendid", "kin" and "the nation"). This term replaces everything positive about all the other -isms I have ever used, and in it lies Paganism, traditional nationalism, racialism and environmentalism. It is not only a more accurate but also a more inclusive term that can be used by all Europeans (and others too for that sake). Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it is not a term tainted by history.

If we have a positive relationship to our homeland, to our blood, to our race, to our religion and to our culture we will not destroy any of this with modern "civilization" (id est capitalism, materialism, Judeo-Christianity, pollution, urbanization, race mixing, Americanization, socialism, globalization, et cetera). The "nazi ghost" has scared millions of Europeans from caring about their blood and homeland for sixty years now, and it is about time we banish this ghost and again start to think and care about the things that (whether we like it or not) are important to us.

I'm not sure which democracy he is reffering to, since in my experience, their was either monarchy or a chief who was elected by his peers after the "Battle Of The Song" and by his skill at arms, which is more of a pseudo-democracy at best.

Molested By Trees - I'm Going To Hack You Up

Great intro with some very nice drumming.

Then we have a little impersonation of the Wolf from the fairy tale "The Three Little Pigs"... it adds the right amount of drama, actually.

Then we have a women's cowardly scream, and the song begins again. The vocals are quite good, as is the drumming, actually. I barely noticed the production values, actually.

8.5/10.

Wow, awesome! :D

I just realised I said actually three times in that post. I need to expand my vocabulary. :-/

Did you do that voice of the Wolf, or did you find the clip?

Also! I think I'm in my first real metal band. Granted, the kids have been mostly exposed to hardcore but I've been told that I can do growls if I want and since I'm the guitarist they're excited about (jazz) I'll hopefully get to have a big influence on the music. It'll probably be some sort of grind hybrid in the end.

I kept trying to give them another chance because I like most of the songs, but no, I just can't stand the vocalists. Same goes for Immortal except Immortal has At the Heart of Winter so I forgive them.

Mayhem really are a meh band for me.

They are ok, I listen to them everyonce in a while but anyway.

Immortal > Mayhem.

I really enjoy the music from De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, but yes, the vocals are terrible. Immortal's a BM band where the vocals don't bother me too much, so I can cope with them.

[Ad Absurdum]

I like the vocals on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, sometimes they are annoying but other times they are very fitting.

[HappyMarshmellow]

Mayhem really are a meh band for me.

You've probably not heard De Misteriis Dom Sathanas and Deathcrush.

I havnt heard much of Mayhem but what I have heard I havnt loved.

[RiceMonster]

Mayhem really are a meh band for me.

Well, in that case, Immortal aren't amazing either. Like HappyMarshmellow said, DMDS and Deathcrush are good albums. Immortal has a bunch of good albums, but they aren't anything AMAZING. Immortal does have the best music videos ever though. Call of the Wintermoon \m/.

About The vocals on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, I don't mind them. Some times I like them, and others I don't.

[the2stranger]

Atilla's vocals are quite bad, but they are fitting for the music, so they don't bother me.
I only have Mysteris, so I can't judge about Dead's and Maniac's vocals

[LegionsofMarduk]

Too bad none of you guys live around here. My wife and I are organizing a golf outing to raise money for the hospital Heidi was born at. I'd invite you all. That'd be great...a bunch of metal heads all out golfing in corpse paint and Darkthrone t-shirts! :lol:

Hm... I love mayhem and both Atilla and Dead's vocals, but for different reasons, an interesting point in that varg interview was that he said he was misquoted on saying he hated the vocals on DMDS... he just hates freezing moon becausee he thinks Dead did it so much better, personally, sometimes I'm in a Dead mood, sometimes an Atilla one... I hate Maniac though...

Old or new Death?

I think he means the genre... Psycroptic are guilty of that. brilliant riff after brilliant riff, but they don't flow at all.

New because Sprit Crusher and after the solo on Crystal Mountain etc.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I always thought they flowed well enough. Better than later Death anyhow.

Hopefully Psycroptic's new album is good.

I hate Maniac though...

Dead is the greatest of their vocalists, but I think Maniac takes a lot of undeserved crap. Wolfs Lair Abyss was actually a pretty decent album. Not their greatest, but it was decent. Certainly a lot better than Grand Declaration of War or Chimera.

Weird, it never occured to me that Psycroptic dont flow, the opposite they insanely flow.

Death on the other hand...I've noticed this too, although I sense it more as lack of energy. It's just parts played one after another. This is especially in TSOP where by the way each song is dully repeated twice and I cant see why Chuck wanted the songs to be executed this way.

These three songs are off of their album called Sidereal Passage.

Neoplasmah - Interplanetary Inner Sanctum (hxxp://s40.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=09XT9NHKMKRLB18W2TYCWZD0I3)

Neoplasmah - Gravitational Collapse (hxxp://s40.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1O3I5DWA380LH255V7PQF6BIL3)

Neoplasmah - Shores Of The Cosmic Ocean (hxxp://s40.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3BNFGOOOMBCWW2I7OLNAPARJMJ)

Copy, paste, change the x's to t's.

The stuff on that album is pretty thrashy, which is what turned me on to them. The songtitle's remind me of Wormed a little too.

[Jondur]

Maybe they do exist after all!

Am listening to Belphegor - I can't help but feel that THIS is how it should be done. With the exception of Aura Noir, is anyone matching Belphegor these days?

This is quite a discovery! Awesome piece death combining both brutality and technicality. It's also quite melodic in its own obscure way. I put it under the same category with Pavor and Criterion. Thank you for mentioning them :)

Definately check out Frozen Shadows. They're one of the more under-rated Canadian black metal bands. I'm not logged in at home on Soulseek, but I've got Dans Les Bras... and Empire De Glaces by them. Both really good. I haven't checked out their newest album yet though. I keep meaning to and keep forgetting.

Out of those two, get Clayman, although I would recommend The Jester Race above both these. The best Death album in my opinion is Scream Bloody Gore.
