Death

[CrossTheBreeze]

I searched and I couldn't find a Death thread so I decided to make one. Sure there is a death metal thread, but I think the band needs their own thread.

so let's discuss anything relating to the band.

[Huber]

There have been a few, and I know there was at least one long going one, but the search function is being lame.

I quite enjoy Death.

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, it had the Scream Bloody Gore title.

I listened to that the other day actually.

[CrossTheBreeze]

aw man, I thought I was being like all original and stuff

[PinkFreud]

I like them. I prefer their newer, more techy stuff though. Individual Thought Patterns. DiGiorgio and Hoglan are nigh unbeatable.

[CrossTheBreeze]

what's this I hear about early death being better than they're later albums like symbolic? what's the difference?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The old albums aren't as technical, and they're more along the lines of Morbid Angel, Obituary etc

I think the older albums are far superior, but for every person who prefers early Death there will be someone who likes later Death more.

[StreetlightRock]

Im with Pink on this, their later, technical stuff is so much better IMO- Human, being my favorite. Scream Bloody Gore and stuff just don't do it for me.

[eug008]

what's this I hear about early death being better than they're later albums like symbolic? what's the difference?

They pretty much got more "progressive" with each album.

Gotta love their later works more :) But their old stuff is still great.

[Wish]

Individual Thought Patterns and Human are killer. Spiritual Healing is my least favourite album by them.

Great band.

EDIT: Symbolic as well :drool:

[CrossTheBreeze]

so is their early stuff more "raw" or something? like do they use more headbanging riffs and more palm muteing?

[jva]

What about The Sound of Perseverance? It's got Spirit Crusher on it. Which I think is one of their best songs. And the cover of Painkiller is just awsome!

[CrossTheBreeze]

And the cover of Painkiller is just awsome!

that's what I heard! I'm gonna buy that album just to hear the cover

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

Aren't you a girl, what in the hell do you think your doing?

[jva]

Than you have one of their best albums or at least there most progressive/technical one in your possession. And the Priest cover is worth it!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That cover of Painkiller is horrible. So is the rest of the album, really.

so is their early stuff more "raw" or something? like do they use more headbanging riffs and more palm muteing?
yes you could say that. It's alot simpler.

[CrossTheBreeze]

Aren't you a girl, what in the hell do you think your doing?

that thing about me being a girl was all just a joke dude.

yes you could say that. It's alot simpler.
perhaps I should purchase their early albums first then, because like metal that makes you want to jump up and down like a maniac

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

You're the gayest girl ever!

[CrossTheBreeze]

You're the gayest girl ever!

now you're getting it

[Shred Danson]

That cover of Painkiller is horrible. So is the rest of the album, really.

Wow, didn't expect to hear this from you :p

I loved the Sounds of Perseverance, but I am a friggin' Death fanboy so there ya go..but I think that album is superb, though Richard Christy's drumming bored the hell out of me and did nothing for the music.

[jva]

I like Sounds of Perseverance a lot because of all the guitar soloing. Chuck is really at his best at guitar playing on this album. I also like the way he sings more on this album than earlier ones. That is what makes Death unique to me
If I want to hear pure Death Metal I listen to the bands Apocalyptic Raids named and Cannibal Corpse of course :p

[pate]

I like the mid and late eras the most, but Leprosy is in my maybe top 3 Death albums.

[Stoo]

Leprosy is so awesome. I like both eras equally... At times I feel the Tech stuff is being technical for the hell of it... (kind of like most Tech Death Metal) Still outstanding though.

Sacred Serenity is probably my favourite song. Followed by Leprosy \m/!

TSOP kinda annoys me... musically good, but his vocals? It's Chuck not fudging Alexi Laiho.

[Txus]

I think I love every album equally. My favroite DM band and in my top 5 favorite bands of all time.

[Daven]

Yeah, im the same.

[the2stranger]

I love Deat, although I hate the guitar sound on the early albums. :-\
But the music, hell, awesome!

[Daven]

Deat Rocks dude

[Txus]

Deat? Too much beer? :lol:

[Hardhat]

Their last 3 albums are amazing. Symbolic and TSOP are probably in my Top 10 Dm albums of all time.

Their early-era stuff if great too, but I'm not really a fan of grind-ish stuff.

[Retarded Guitarist]

I haven't heard much other than Scream Bloody Gore, but I like it.

[Daven]

You should check out Symbolic or Individual Thought Patterns.

[Atica]

Death is one of my favorite bands and I love every album.

[Txus]

Individual Thought Patterns has one of the best bass works in the history of music.

[Daven]

The drum work is amazing too. Gene Hoglan is a beast.

[Retarded Guitarist]

I'll probably buy Individual Thought Patterns the next time I go somewhere that carries it.

[Hardhat]

It's crazy how many lineup changes they went through but through it all still managed to have insane musicians.

[Txus]

Because Chuck was always there.

[Stoo]

Deat? Too much beer? :lol:

way to piss yourself at a spelling mistake.

NP ~ Zombie Ritual. \m/

More bands should do what Chuck did. You choose who you want... you control everything... seems like the obvious choice for great musicians.

[Hardhat]

I did a project at school about Chuck. I got to read lyrical excerpts from SBG to the class.:evil: It was awesome.

[Stoo]

what the hell class was that in?

I did a reprt on production techniques on a song. We could choose any song. I should have done Death...

Production Techniques for Death ~ Scream Bloody Gore:

Uh... Mics lulz

[Hardhat]

what the hell class was that in?


English. We had to take lyrics and analyze them. I made up some crap about how Zombie Ritual related to how much the media controls people today, and I got a 100%.

[pate]

My favroite DM band and in my top 5 favorite bands of all time.

This times infinity squared.

[Apocalypticon]

Individual Thought Patterns and Leprosy are ridiculous albums.

[Killtacular]

Symbolic is where it's at.

[lightningmetal666]

Individual Thought Patterns and Leprosy are ridiculous albums.

come on now, I have Leprosy and that album kicks ***.....

Pull the Plug and Born Dead are such good songs......The former having an amazing guitar solo

[Toaster]

Death are good but are overrated. They just made (some) good death metal. NOthing more or less.

[lightningmetal666]

Death are good but are overrated. They just made (some) good death metal. NOthing more or less.

I've only heard 1 song off of Sound of Perserverance (voice of the soul) but from what I hear, I really like and I CAN hear a major difference between old and new stuff.

I love it when a band keeps getting better as the move unlike some other bands.....

[Toaster]

They didn't really get better as much as they started to wank off a lot more. IMHO.

[PinkFreud]

But Steve Digiorgio and Gene Hoglan are beasts. So it's ok for them to be techy on ITP.

[Toaster]

They were beasts but the addition of their wankery made Death's music progressively more dull and sterile. Who can honestly say that those agonizing, gratuitous bass glisses belong on ITP? I just think the band became more of a device for the members to show off.

[PinkFreud]

I can say that. And I do!

Sorry. I guess I believe that showing off has a place in music.

[Toaster]

Hah. Touche!

It does, but maybe not in the best death metal band ever..? Which is what my argument is based on.

[PinkFreud]

Hah. Touche!

It does, but maybe not in the best death metal band ever..? Which is what my argument is based on.
Maybe. But then again later Death, Cynic, and Atheist are my favorite death metal bands.

[lightningmetal666]

Ha, I'm just starting to get into Atheist......

I'm thinking of checking out ITP. It's seems like a popular album here......

[Apocalypticon]

come on now, I have Leprosy and that album kicks ***.....

Pull the Plug and Born Dead are such good songs......The former having an amazing guitar solo

I was saying ridiculous as in ridiculously good.

[Toaster]

Maybe. But then again later Death, Cynic, and Atheist are my favorite death metal bands.

Well this leads nicely into the "serving the song" argument. But I'll leave that one..

Personally I feel Death's music is not nearly musical or tuneful enough to tastefully handle the large amount of wankery that is dealt to it in its later years.

[PinkFreud]

Oh come on. The Philosopher!

[Toaster]

Granted. You do know what I mean though?

Plus Chuck's just not good enough to warrant a listen just for his skill.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Their early-era stuff if great too, but I'm not really a fan of grind-ish stuff.
not sure where you grabbed Grind from :-\

[Hardhat]

I should say Death Metal in a simple form, not really grind at all.

[lightningmetal666]

I was saying ridiculous as in ridiculously good.

:lol:

Oh, well, o.k. then.

Yeah I agree.....

[Apocalypticon]

Does anyone besides me think that Symbolic is really overrated?

[Toaster]

I do.. out of all of Death's albums I'd say it's my least favourite, and the one I'd consider the most overrated.

[Apocalypticon]

I really only like the title track, Crystal Mountain and 1000 Eyes, everything else is just so meh.

[Daven]

I love it.

[Flynn]

God I was waiting for someone to make this :) I think everyone here knows my feelings on the band, aside from that, I'm really digging The Sound Of Perseverance atm, I can't get enough of it. I think it's probably the best Tech-Death Metal album ever recorded. It's so mature, still, to this day, it cannot be mimic'd.

[lightningmetal666]

I dunno too much about SOP, but I find it being "the best Tech-Death" a little subjective.....

Then again I'm a whore for Necrophagist so....

But I agree with the last statement.

[FatalEnergy]

SOP is wayyyyyyy overrated. ITP kills it.

[Killtacular]

Does anyone besides me think that Symbolic is really overrated?
No. You're just a freak. It's Scream Bloody Gore that's hideously overrated.

I can't even bare listening to it.

[Apocalypticon]

SOP is wayyyyyyy overrated. ITP kills it.

I have to agree. Of Death's tech phase ITP is clearly the winner. It is untouchable, but I still think Leprosy edges it out for best Death album.

[FatalEnergy]

I don't know about SBG being overrated, but Spiritual Healing is really underrated for sure.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Does anyone besides me think that Symbolic is really overrated?
:h5:

[lightningmetal666]

Now I really have to hear ITP....

[Killtacular]

Of Death's pre-Human works, I dislike Spiritual Healing the least. Probably because it's the last of their pure death period.

[Flynn]

Symbolic is great.

[Apocalypticon]

Spiritual Healing is bad. No other way of saying it. It isn't an old school Death album and it isn't a tech album, it is just filler.

[FatalEnergy]

It just seems to be over looked, because of the two albums it's sandwiched between. I just don't think it gets enough credit. It was an important part of their evolution.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It was an important part of their evolution.
I think Human was far more important in that regard.

[FatalEnergy]

True, but without Spiritual Healing, would there have been a Human?

[Apocalypticon]

Don't get into that kind of stuff. It will just make everyones brain hurt.

[Flynn]

Nope. Spiritual Healing was when they got their Tech.

[FatalEnergy]

Nope. Spiritual Healing was when they got their Tech.

My point exactly. I think James Murphy had an influence on Chuck

[Flynn]

I think Chuck had an influence on everyone that took part with him. Period.

[Apocalypticon]

DiGiorggio had an influence on Chuck.

[lightningmetal666]

I think Chuck had an influence on everyone that took part with him. Period.

I kinda sucks in a way that Chuck and Rick Rozz couldn't get along....I bet they would've had some sick sh*t if they had..

[Killtacular]

Chuck is a rare example of not doing it for the lulz.

[FatalEnergy]

Well, you can always go listen to Massacre.

[Apocalypticon]

doing what?

[Killtacular]

It...

[lightningmetal666]

It...

Maybe it's just my inferior intelligence, but what the hell are you talking about???

[Apocalyptic Raids]

http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/I_did_it_for_the_lulz

[Killtacular]

I think it's just because you're gay. And you're detracting from the Death conversation.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/For_the_lulz

[Apocalypticon]

so I think besides Leprosy and Individual Thought Patterns Death get way to much penis sucking

[lightningmetal666]

I think it's just because you're gay. And you're detracting from the Death conversation.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/For_the_lulz

Obviously I'm not gay, but WTF does sexual orientation have to do with the band Death?

You gotta heed your own words buddy....

[Killtacular]

Everything. If you're gay, you automatically abhor Death.

Now, back to Death. Leprosy is rubbish. I can't stand it. I can't really tolerate any Death pre-Human. I just can't do it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

so I think besides Leprosy and Individual Thought Patterns Death get way to much penis sucking
replace ITP with Human and/or SBG and I agree.

[FatalEnergy]

Everything. If you're gay, you automatically abhor Death.

Now, back to Death. Leprosy is rubbish. I can't stand it. I can't really tolerate any Death pre-Human. I just can't do it.

Mantas demos ftw

[Apocalypticon]

meh Human is up there I guess, but I've never been a big fan of Scream Bloody Gore

[Angmar]

I personally think ITP and Symbolic are their best.

[lightningmetal666]

Mantas demos ftw

I remember seeing on Youtube (I think) of a mantas rehearsal. I'd have to agree with this one....

[CrossTheBreeze]

I should be getting symbolic from amazon this friday


in other words the UPS guy will probably bring it to my house by friday

[Username++]

I love Death. I just changed to this avatar from a Death one yesterday.

[pate]

so I think besides Leprosy and Individual Thought Patterns and Human and SBG Death get way not enough penis sucking

Fix'd.

[AA-12]

Hello thread.

All Death rules, end of story.

[WARPATH_88]

Death is awesome. Ive been pretty obsessed with them since I first heard them.

[lightningmetal666]

Death is awesome. Ive been pretty obsessed with them since I first heard them.

I can not state enough how big an influence their progressiveness is on my own playing.

It love when a band keeps getting better and not worse.

[WARPATH_88]

I can not state enough how big an influence their progressiveness is on my own playing.

Yea thats pretty much the same for me too. :thumb:

[lightningmetal666]

After reading about how Chuck couldn't pay for his operation it made me hate HMO's all the more......bastards...

[AA-12]

Chuck is a huge inspiration in my life and my music.

[pixiesfanyo]

If you don't like Death. You're either a girl, or you should be dead.

[pate]

Chuck is a huge inspiration in my life and my music.

He's a huge inspiriation on my music.

[AA-12]

Oh ****, agreeing with Jared 100% ITT

[-Listy-]

After reading about how Chuck couldn't pay for his operation it made me hate HMO's all the more......bastards...

Yeah that was such a shame :(

[Stoo]

If only Chuck had been British with free Healthcare maybe we'd be discussing the new album...

[lightningmetal666]

It was awesome how he kept playing live to pay for it though.....I'd have donated everything I had though I doubt even back then what I have would not so much as cover the cost of a bandaid.......lol...

[Stormrider]

though Richard Christy's drumming bored the hell out of me and did nothing for the music.

:-/ . I love his drumming on the album.
(from first page, I know)

Anyways, I love Death. One of my favorite bands, but most of you know that already. Favorite albums are Symbolic and Individual Thought Patterns.

[pate]

I really like his drumming on the album as well.

[AA-12]

His drumming is awesome. He's great at everything he does.

[the2stranger]

Deat Rocks dude
Deat? Too much beer? :lol:

<_<

>_>

lol, yeah probably the beer.

[Stormrider]

Yeah. He's one of my favorite drummers, even though I havn't heard him on much besides Death and Iced Earth.

[PinkFreud]

Yeah but Hoglan's a lot better than him.

Besides, isn't Christy on the Howard Stern show now?

[pate]

Yeah he is. And he was just cast in Harold and Kumar 2 :lol:

Hoglan is better, but I really like RC.

[lightningmetal666]

Yeah but Hoglan's a lot better than him.

Besides, isn't Christy on the Howard Stern show now?

Agreed. I've seen hoglan live with SYL and he is a monster behind the kit....

[Stormrider]

For Death drummers though, we can't forget Reinert on Human.

My favorite drumming though for a Death album is probably Individual Thought Patterns though.

[PinkFreud]

Yeah but Reinert's generally a more reserved drummer than Hoglan. Still great though.

[Thor]

Does anyone here think the drumming on The Sound of Perseverance is too chaotic?

[AA-12]

Not at all. It's perfect.

[Thor]

Christy definitely does some incredibly cool stuff at times, but I still think he could try to play down a little bit. At times he just needs to get in the groove.

...but I guess he's in new Death and that's not allowed. TSOP owns.

[AA-12]

Eh, I think he fits in the groove just fine.

[Thor]

I just remember hearing random breaks in "Spirit Crusher" and kind of being annoyed by it.

That song is sooo fun to play on bass.

[AA-12]

I love playing Death's music. I've never learned any bass parts though.

[Stormrider]

Yeah, I love playing Death songs. I'm setting for learning all of ITP this summer. I've already learned Trapped in a Corner(which has one of my favorite solo's btw) and The Philosopher. Next up, it's Overactive Imaginations.

[Poofy 666]

I learned the majority of the songs on Symbolic and Human last summer.

[pate]

Playing Death songs is the first part of my daily routine. I always do them in the same order, for some reason.

I go through:
Crystal Mountain
Lack of Comprehension
Overactive Imagination
Zombie Ritual
Scavenger of Human Sorrow
Bite the Pain
Spirit Crusher

I know a handful of others, but I don't do them daily for some reason.

[Thor]

I play bass, and the only one's I've bothered to learn are Spirit Crusher and Crystal Mountain. I think I might do Zombie Ritual next though.

[pate]

Oh, I play guitar btw

Death songs are the only songs I have any ambition to learn nowadays. I'm either writing or learning a Death song.

[WARPATH_88]

I also play guitar. I really wanna learn some Death but I dont have any cds to go by. So that kinda sucks. :(

[PinkFreud]

I play bass, and the only one's I've bothered to learn are Spirit Crusher and Crystal Mountain. I think I might do Zombie Ritual next though.
Nah, try the Philosopher.

[FatalEnergy]

All Death songs aren't that hard to play on bass. I used to know almost all of the ITP album.

Learn Cosmic Sea.

[Eliminator]

i can play just about eevry death song tbh

[FatalEnergy]

Digorgio's bass lines in Sadus are way more complicated, and Death's other bassists were nothing that special.

[PinkFreud]

No, his best bass work is with Dark Hall. And it's amazing.

[Thor]

Digorgio's bass lines in Sadus are way more complicated, and Death's other bassists were nothing that special.
The bass player for TSOP had a couple cool licks here and there.

[pate]

He did. It's a shame he and Shannon Hamm were never involved in any other bands, other than Death and CD.

[Stormrider]

Digiorgio is still by far my favorite Death bassist though.

From Symbolic, I've learned Symbolic, Empty Words and Crystal Mountain. And I've learned a couple off of Human, but I have trouble playing those these days. I don't have the indurance anymore :( ...I need a lot more warming up then I used to.

[pate]

You need to get back to the IE stuff to stay in shape :p

[Stormrider]

Heheh, yeah. I was ata point where I had no trouble at all with my endurance with that stuff. Now, I need to warm up like a lot before I could play Stormrider without getting tiresd at some point :( ...and even at that, sometimes it's not enough.

I need to get away from this place.

[Deth]

Steve D is the bassist I model my playing after and a huge reason why I got a fretless.

No, his best bass work is with Dark Hall. And it's amazing.

This is the only project he's been in that I haven't heard. What's it like?

EDIT: You just answered it.

[PinkFreud]

You should try playing Changing Weather from Dark Hall. The tapping, slapping, and fingerstyle is insane on it. He's seriously the best metal bassist I've heard.

But Dark Hall is his jazz fusion side project.

You can download their EP for free. It's got some mindblowing bass.


http://www.darkhall.tk/

[Apocalypticon]

He's seriously the best metal bassist I've heard.

I have to agree with this. His stuff with Vintersorg is pretty decent aswell. Although it can't compare with any Death or Dark Hall stuff.

[pate]

Could you upload some Dark Hall?

Yeah, he was a lot more toned down for Vintersorg.

[PinkFreud]

Could you upload some Dark Hall?

Yeah, he was a lot more toned down for Vintersorg.
Look back a page. I edited my post.

[Apocalypticon]

Yeah, he was a lot more toned down for Vintersorg.

Yeah he didn't do anything flashy or extreme, but I think it added a nice element to Vintersorg's music.

[pate]

Look back a page. I edited my post.

Ah, got it. Thanks.

[Flynn]

Digorgio's bass lines in Sadus are way more complicated, and Death's other bassists were nothing that special.

I like his riffing on ITP, the fretless made that album in so many ways.

[Txus]

I consider Digiorgio my favorite Metal bassplayer. He is just PERFECT in every way.

I REALLY want to learn Nothing is Everything :D

[Hardhat]

Every band that guy toches is gold; Death, Testament, Vintersorg, Autposy, Iced Earth, and even Quo Vadis....He can do no wrong.

[Txus]

Oh dude, his work with Quo Vadis is soooo ****ing good <3

It's a shame he is a school janitor now :(

[Hardhat]

It's a shame he is a school janitor now :(

Haha, are you serious?

[Txus]

Yeah, and I think kids don't even recognize him....bastards.

[Cocaine]

DiGiorgio over plays sometimes though.

[Txus]

Oh shut up, Tyler.

[Cocaine]

It's true

[pixiesfanyo]

Don't you like Mastodon?

[Cocaine]

If you're talking to me, I like Mastodon, but not all that much.

[pixiesfanyo]

Well, if you like Mastodon. Don't ever complain about overplaying on drums.

[Cocaine]

I always complain about Brann Dailor overplaying, and Steve DiGiorgio is a bassist, not a drummer.

[CrossTheBreeze]

sweet... my thread is gettin' some major action

[PinkFreud]

Oh dude, his work with Quo Vadis is soooo ****ing good <3

It's a shame he is a school janitor now :(
Wah? I'm pretty sure he's not. He's an incredibly well known bassist and just released an album with Sadus last year and has an album with Scariot coming out this year. He also had a bunch of albums out in 2005 and 2004.

[Txus]

I've heard the rumor...I think either Cocaine or Lee were the ones telling me about this, not sure though :(

BTW, What's the best Sadus album to check out?

[pate]

It was me. Some kid from a forum I used to visit goes to a high school in California. At a football game one night, he sees Steve walking by, so he approaches him. He had always seen that the school's grounds keeper was a Steve DiGiorgio, but thought there was no way it could really be him. It actually was, and they talked for a long time. Steve has to do that to pay his bills, which is a damn shame.

Steve gave the kid some memorabilia from various bands he's been in, and they met regularly and talked, during school hours, which is funny.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Teacher, I need to go talk with Mr. Metal Bass Guitar Legend"




Mike: Best Sadus is Illusions/Chemical Exposure.

[Mother]

^ thats what happens when you download death albums.

[pate]

More like that's what happens regardless. It's metal. He's not going to live in a mansion.

And hell, Chuck may have done everything based on publishing, meaning the person who wrote each song gets the money for it, so Steve may have gotten paid then, and then never see a cent for those albums. Who knows.

[PinkFreud]

He was only on two of them anyway, unless you count the greatest hits.

That's weird that he has to do that, he must be leaking money like a sieve.

[pate]

Maybe traveling all over to work with different bands is what's doing it.

Or maybe he just likes doing the work, and can get paid for it too. That'd be a good deal for him.

[PinkFreud]

Yeah, maybe.

You listen to that Dark Hall yet?

[pate]

Nope. Downloading right now.

[Txus]

They need to release a full length, amaaazziiiing jazz band.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

And hell, Chuck may have done everything based on publishing, meaning the person who wrote each song gets the money for it, so Steve may have gotten paid then, and then never see a cent for those albums. Who knows.
Considering how many lineup changes Death went through, I think that would have been the case.

[pate]

Yeah, or it'd take a scientist to figure out who gets what.

[Deth]

Steve was a hired hand for almost all his bands, so I can't imagine that he would receive a huge chunk of money in royalties.

[Eliminator]

^ thats what happens when you download death albums.

yeah guys stop downloading death albums

[Flynn]

Spiritual Healing is probably the most underrated Death album, I don't know why, it's bitchin'.

[Stoo]

Im going to try and learn Sacred Serenity. Such a beast of a song.

[Stormrider]

I had started learning that...but kinda drifted away for some reason. I never got past like, the verse riff.

[actionfan32]

Spiritual Healing is probably the most underrated Death album, I don't know why, it's bitchin'.
Totally agreed, I think it's really good yet so many people ignore it.

[Stoo]

Spirtual Healing is great. The title track is awesome.

Anyone got a solo tab fro Sacred Serenity?

[FatalEnergy]

I was saying that like 5 pages ago, but no one sided with me.

[Stormrider]

Spiritual Healing happens to be the only Death albu I havn't seen in stores yet. When I do see it though, it'll probably be a definite buy anyways.

[Apocalypticon]

Spiritual Healing sucks. Look at it and then look at Human, and ITP. It is bad.

[FatalEnergy]

Spiritual Healing sucks. Look at it and then look at Human, and ITP. It is bad.


You've got to be kidding.

[Cocaine]

None of their albums suck, but Spiritual Healing is probably the worst.

[leenis]

It's a great album, but still their worst IMO

[FatalEnergy]

TSoP is by far the worst in my opinion.

[leenis]

It's one of my 3 favorite.

[Cocaine]

I say this a lot, but my three favourite from all three eras are:

Leprosy, ITP, TSOP

[Deth]

I bought a real version of Leprosy today. First time I've seen it in a store, and for $10 it was hard to turn down.

[Stormrider]

I've seen Leprosy several times. But havn't picked it up yet. I didn't like as much as I do now when I last saw it in a store, so I didn't pick it up.

[Apocalypticon]

Leprosy remains my favourite Death album, just edging out ITP.

[Menschenfresser]

Symbolic, TSoP and ITP for me.

[Apocalypticon]

bah Symbolic is overrated and too slow IMO.

[Menschenfresser]

I didn't ask for your ****ing opinion.

[Deth]

Calm down there.

bah Symbolic is overrated and too slow IMO.

I'll agree. It doesn't seem that passionate.

But Crystal Mountain and Empty Words are two of my favorite Death songs.

[Menschenfresser]

That happens when you insult Symbolic :)

You know I <3 you all!

[leenis]

Those are my favorites.

[Apocalypticon]

Calm down there.

But Crystal Mountain and Empty Words are two of my favorite Death songs.

Crystal Mountain and 1000 Eyes are the only songs off Symbolic I really like. The little guitar lead over top of the chorus of 1000 Eyes is such a nice touch.

[Daven]

What about Without Judgement, Misanthrope, etc?

[Apocalypticon]

Misanthrope is my least favourite song off Symbolic and Without Judgement is just meh, the title track is pretty good though

[Menschenfresser]

How can you not like Without Judgement?

Can you guys name 1 bad/mediocre Death song? I seriously can't.

[Deth]

I'm indifferent towards Vacant Planets, but that's about it.

[Apocalypticon]

I'm not a fan of Generic Reconstruction.

[FatalEnergy]

To Forgive Is to Suffer is a song I can never remember.

[pate]

Can you guys name 1 bad/mediocre Death song? I seriously can't.

I can't do it.

[Stoo]

I bought a real version of Leprosy today. First time I've seen it in a store, and for $10 it was hard to turn down.

You mean you bought a CD? I have all of them on CD. Funny how the 2 most popular (ITP & Symbolic) I had to buy from the net. The earlier stuff was all in store.

I say most popular... on these forums I generally get the feeling these are most liked.

[Deth]

Yeah, the CD version. Now the only ones I don't own are SBG and Spiritual Healing.

[Daven]

I only have Spiritual Healing and Human, both gifts from a friend.

[the2stranger]

Your friends have good taste then. ;)

[Daven]

Haha yeah, he likes metal and a lot of ther stuff,

[kyle_yordy]

My old English teacher gave me their Symbolic album the other day... Awesome stuff.

[Stormrider]

Misanthrope is my least favourite song off Symbolic and Without Judgement is just meh, the title track is pretty good though

Misanthrope is amazing. Do you like Empty Words atleast ? :-/

I like Vacant Planets. Ends the album well IMO. But the highlights of Human are Flattening of Emotions and Lack of Comprehension IMO.

[eug008]

Bought the CD/DVD version of TSoP a few days ago. Ownage.

[Stoo]

^ I have the DVD on TSOP... not watched it yet, only had the album for like a year. Omg.My old English teacher gave me their Symbolic album the other day... Awesome stuff.

What an awesome teacher.

[WARPATH_88]

I have a teacher like that. He listens to basically the same metal bands I do. I also let him borrow my Opeth cds.

[Stoo]

Wtf man American teachers are teh pwn. I had a fudging wrinkly old bitch for English.

[TojesDolan]

Hmmmm I saw Leprosy the other day really cheap maybe I should have bought it

I need to listen Death pre-human

[Deth]

Blasting Scream Bloody Gore in the car with your two best friends after buying BB guns is really fun.

[Stormrider]

I had the album downloaded, but deleted it, because I wanted to buy the album without listening to the whole mp3 version of it on my computer, but I never bought it. And tbh, I don't entirely remember how the albums off the song that I listened to sound like. I should go and re-get it.

NP Iced Earth - Damien

[FatalEnergy]

It's a classic. Great stuff.

NP: Death - Zombie Ritual

[Flynn]

Misanthrope is one of my favorite Death songs, it's riveting and Without Judgement is my favorite Death song atm, love it with passion The solo after the first chorus is pure feel. C'mon Apoc, I thought you had better taste than that mang :rolleyes:


"Without Judgement perception would increase a million times!"

[Killtacular]

Only cd's I own are ITP and TSoP. I wanna buy Symbolic and Human really bad, but, alas, I hath no job.

[FatalEnergy]

I have only SBG, Leprosy, ITP, and Live in LA on CD. The rest are sadly mp3. :(

[pate]

I only have TSOP, but the rest are at the top of my list of **** to buy.

[lightningmetal666]

I'll probably download ITP or TSoP later today. Most everybody here digs these albums, so I feel left out of the loop. I gotta change that.....

[CrossTheBreeze]

omg, I just got symbolic yesterday. It's a bit overwhelming since I'm still getting used to the album but so far my favs are sacred serenity and without judgement

[TojesDolan]

I like Symbolic a lot.

[Angmar]

Agreed, Crystal Mountain and the title track are my personal favs.

[eug008]

Crystal Mountain just rips. Easily my favourite off that CD.

[heavy metal kid]

Crystal Mountain is my favorite from Symbolic; still, I wouldn't consider it the best song off that album, maybe Without Judgement or Empty Words.

[Txus]

Without Judgement is probably my favorite \m/

Such a solid album.

[Deth]

Empty Words ftw

Bought SBG as well. It's nice being on the verge of owning an entire discography.

[pate]

The only discography I own is Megadeth, mainly because an EMI plant was in my town, so every year they sold albums for 3 bucks.

[Stoic]

Heh, new Death thread.
/jumbs

Huge Death fan here.

When it comes to living, noone seems to care
When it comes to wanting out, those with power will be there

[Stormrider]

I own 2 discographies :cool: ...Blind Guardian and Iced Earth (8 studio albums for BG)
