It's got a lot of potential. The guitars sound pretty good but the riffs are way too repetitive. The drumming is solid but way too forced and desperate and the vocals are almost inaudible most of the time.

That happens to me often when listening to DM. :(

I listen to many good riffs but they are usually filled with a bunch of chuggas and slayer-esque solos. :|

If it has chuggas, it is probably nudeth.

Well, not chuggas like MeCHUGGAHs, more in a vibe like "let's not change the brutality for TWO seconds of melody and let's brutalize this song off rarw rawr".

like that chugging riff in Deicide - Dead by Dawn?

**** off, that riff is brilliant.

[QUOTE=Dargon;15331356]alot of people say they're ELITE AS **** but I never really got it. However, unlike 95% of the other garbage that gets discussed here, at least they're actually death metal.[/QUOTE]

:lol:

Well I wasn't really mentioning any particular moments. For instance some Exhumed sections in Slaughtercult foucs too much in pounding verses rather than having a good riff inbetween to keep interest.

I don't know it's a matter of focus and what you feel like listening, but I find boring the repetition in DM. For senseless repetition I'd go and listen to Corrupted, or Boris. Or for that matter, any Drone/Doom/Sludge band.

Boris is sweet.

K, I just decided that my high vocal technique is straining my chords a little too much and I need a new technique. My mid-range still sucks too, but my low has definitely gotten better over these past couple days.

Eleventeen, need tips mmk.

Again, you're listening to shitty DM. Exhumed sucks.

Decrepit Crescendo is the only bearable song in that album.

Carcass won that entire style of DM in the 80s anyways.

Symphonies of Sickness, for that matter.

Reek of Putrefaction doesnt seem very DM to me, other ones maybe.

[QUOTE=masscows;15331877]Reek of Putrefaction doesnt seem very DM to me, other ones maybe.[/QUOTE]

That album rules.

EDIT: Agreed with Dargon, Exhumed kinda sucks.

Yeah, Exhumed bis very mediocre. Carcass, on the other hand, rules.

Arbeit Macht Fleisch is such a sick song.

I like Molested.

I'm still undecided. I really wish I could hear more of the vocals.

an entirely true statement.
[QUOTE=masscows;15331877]Reek of Putrefaction doesnt seem very DM to me, other ones maybe.[/QUOTE]
thats cause its grindcore. my interpretation of the transition is something like this:
reek = grindcore (and basically the only grindcore i can stand)
symphonies = death/grind
heartwork = melodic death but not the gay kind like in flames

[QUOTE=RiceMonster;15332015]Yeah, Exhumed bis very mediocre. Carcass, on the other hand, rules.[/QUOTE]

Which do you prefer. Grind Carcass or (melo) death Carcass? I much much prefer grind Carcass.

I'm partial to the melo-death carcass, mostly because I don't dig grind much though.

After Necrotism Carcass sucks.

As I have said, I enjoy the entire canon of Carcass and many of their rip-off bands.

what about necroticism and swansong?

necroticism=death metal
swansong=****ing weird death'n'roll of some kind

Swansong isn't weird at all. It actually makes perfect sense as an extension of their direction when you listen to it.

[QUOTE=Deth;15332727]Swansong isn't weird at all. It actually makes perfect sense as an extension of their direction when you listen to it.[/QUOTE]

But it ****ing sucks. Even as a big fan of Heartwork I can safely say that metal doesn't get much gayer than Swansong.

Although I've gotta say, I like 75% of Carcass rip-off bands more than actual Carcass.

yeah i forgot necroticism. i haven't heard swansong yet so i didn't include that one.

So is even old In Flames hated? Im talkin like Lunar Strain and Jester Race. I find those both to be extremely enjoyable

I like them too.
