There's only one original member left in Possessed though. They're basically a cover band.

I would like to go back in time and see Possessed in the mid-80's though...

Eh, really? That kinda sucks, oh well, it will still probably be a cool show.

Seeing Possessed is just going to be you watching a bunch of 60 year olds playing to a crowd of your friends' parents.

Yeah, I'm sure Tyler. :lol:

Never been a huge death head but I've been listening to three CD's pretty heavily for a while now (works perfect for working out to).

[B]Devourment[/B] [I]Butcher of the Weak[/I]

[B]Brain Drill[/B] [I]Apocalyptic Feasting[/I]

And

[B]Decrepit Birth[/B] [I]Diminishing Between Worlds[/I]

Have to say pretty much all of them are absolutely excellent. Puts me right into the mood for lifting heavy.

The first two are kind of awful.

Yeah Brain Drill especially. Devourment kind of sucks too but they were hugely important to death metal in their own right, although a great deal of the bands that came about directly because of them really suck too.

didnt know a bunch of dorks playing fast gets people lifting

i listened to the brain drill cd the other day and i agree its not the best thing in the world but what makes it so bad?

it's ****ing stupid and pointless

I enjoy them. Sound different than 90% of the music I've heard (from any genre).

I've borrowed two CDs from my friends I've still got to listen to.

[B]Necrophagist[/B] [I]Epitaph[/I]

And

[B]Nile[/B] [I]Ithyphallic[/I]

I see you're just getting into death metal. "Annihilation of the Wicked" and "In Their Darkened Shrines" are both way better than Ithyphallic which I find lackluster and repetitive. Necrophagist is a good starting point for tech. death (and death metal in general). Not the best by a longshot though.

[QUOTE=masscows;15960326]it's ****ing stupid and pointless[/QUOTE]

it is pointless...

and that necrophagist album is good
masscows advice is correct, AOTW is a much better album than Ithyphallic

There's been a few death bands that I've gotten into before. For a long time it just didn't suit my interest.

It's been about a year since I've started listening to it more and more. Pretty much starting with [B]Cephalic Carnage[/B] (I know, I know, a lot of people consider them more grind than death) and [B]Behemoth[/B].

I've got [I]Annihilation of the Wicked[/I]. Great CD.

i dont like CC
but behemoth is sick, good live too

Listen to Death.

Listen to [B]Death[/B].

LIsten to [I][B][U]Daath! [/U][/B][/I]

I didn't care for [B]Cephalic Carnage[/B]'s new CD, but [I]Anomalies[/I] was good, [I]Lucid Interval[/I] amazing, and [I]Exploiting Dysfunction[/I] great. I miss the random, completely ridiculous out there tangents they used to go out on. The last two CD's had more commercialized songs it seemed.

Which [B]Daath[/B] album? [I]The Hinderers[/I] or [I]Futility[/I]?

Don't waste your time with DAATH

(he was joking)

Cephalic Carnage is good stuff.

The only thing that sucked about Nile's Ithyphallic was the vocals/vocal production. Everything else was top notch.

Yea, they're yanking your chain about Daath. Horrid band.

yeah, im yanking you off

You would.

lol, ok. What about the other two though? Is there a band called [B]Death[/B] I should check out?

Also, would [B]Opeth[/B] fall into Death Metal? I've been wanting to check them out sometime soon.

Of course :naughty:

Anyway, new Dismember kicks ***....the only death metal band i can stand at the moment tbqh.

The riffs were mostly uninspired and recycled aside from the Egyptian dweedling and the song structures are really bad. The vocals are probably the best part about the album; Dallas' vocal patterns are impeccable and Karl's low guttural is insanely brutal.

Laying Fire Upon Apep is the only really good song on that album. The Essential Salts is pretty good too. The rest is insanely boring.[quote]Also, would Opeth fall into Death Metal? I've been wanting to check them out sometime soon.[/quote]not really maybe kind of. They're worth checking out though, get Still Life.[quote]lol, ok. What about the other two though?

I'm not a fan of Death, but most people consider them a staple of the genre.

And by all means, buy all of the Opeth material you can. Great band.

yes get everything from them you can lay your hands on, start with still life and go from there

Yes, get the album Human, best DM ever tbh.
