CK: "the Big Four" Of Death Metal?!?!?!

Madbutcher3 12.04.12	Death and Morbid Angel are right, dunno what else should be in though, prolly Suffo and maybe Cannibal.
evilford 12.04.12	death, immolation, morbid angel and gorguts is what I would say
CK 12.04.12	I considered CC to put up here, but then I thought no
DrMaximus 12.04.12	Death, Morbid Angel, Atheist, Immolation /thread
evilford 12.04.12	yeah max atheist would be my #5 prob
Madbutcher3 12.04.12	Yeah Immol actually, probably Death Morbid Immol Obit I guess Incantation or Gorguts would be runner up.
Trebor. 12.04.12	between the buried and me periphery whitechapel the junztortionist
DrMaximus 12.04.12	not even in a joke is that funny... at all
Trebor. 12.04.12	you guys said that like Yoda
Havey 12.04.12	incantation rule all
Hyperion1001 12.04.12	kind of stupid list but i guess i have to set you all straight death morbid angel autopsy entombed every one of you leaving autopsy out dont know anything
evilford 12.04.12	hm
CK 12.04.12	Almost added Gorguts, but they didn't peak musically until the late 90s. Still love the fuck out of them
witchxrapist 12.04.12	Be realistic and go by actual influence kids.
witchxrapist 12.04.12	Therefor: Entombed Suffocation Incantation Cannibal Corpse
CK 12.04.12	You're right, none of the bands posted have any influence on the scene whatsoever. Brb gonna redo the list with all CC albums
witchxrapist 12.04.12	Also, Autopsy rules, but there aren't many Autopsy clones out there, whereas Entombed clones are a dime a dozen, and Entombed riffs are leaking into hardcore and crust, every brutal death metal band wants to be Suffocation, and every retro death metal band wants to be Incantation, and believe it or not, Cannibal Corpse is still the biggest name to ever happen in death metal, whether they're the best or not, and their influence is undeniable and especially prevelent in older deathcore bands.
Atari 12.04.12	suffocation in my top 4 for sure
evilford 12.04.12	yeah death were alright but pretty derivative
CK 12.04.12	I think Death is actually bigger than CC to be honest. And I prefer Dismember over Entombed, but Entombed slays hard
evilford 12.04.12	if you're going only by influence, not having death in the top 4 is just plain wrong
Brumas 12.04.12	Death Immolation Morbid Angel or Incantation or Suffocation Entombed or Autopsy or Dismembered
Havey 12.04.12	hyp wins actually
Funeralopolis 12.04.12	hyp wins actually [2]
Funeralopolis 12.04.12	god damn gorguts is actually awful
evilford 12.04.12	actually no they're not really
Hyperion1001 12.04.12	"Also, Autopsy rules, but there aren't many Autopsy clones out there, whereas Entombed clones are a dime a dozen" come on mappy, i expected better from you. just because there arent as many clones has almost nothing to do with actual influence. the entire swedish scene was ignited almost single singlehandedly by morbid angel and autopsy. sure incantation has a giant influence on the new waves of death metal, and onwards to golgotha is one of the best things to come out of the first wave, but as far as influence on the beginning of death metal they really didn't do all that much compared to bands like autopsy and morbid angel.
witchxrapist 12.04.12	i guess you have a point, but you gotta admit incantation, suffocation, and cannibal corpse's influence on modern dm stylez
SIMBOLIC 12.04.12	Cc would have to be there when you consider the influence, popularity (without selling out) And Consistent and lengthy discography. But yeh death, morbid hmmm other one is tough
engleprunt 12.05.12	Not necessarily my favorites but... Cannibal Corpse Morbid Angel Deicide Death ...With Obituary, Suffocation, Carcass and Entombed also being considered.
KILL 12.05.12	cherubim???
