Death Metal/
 

Can anyone recommend me some good death metal?
Or something really heavy whatever.

NECROPHAGIST.

The best death metal band I've heard.

Followed by Cryptopsy.

I was obsessed with death metal for months until I realized that most of it sounds the same, but I can honestly say the reccomendations I just gave you are the two best I heard.

The first album by Nile is pretty good, from what I remember.

Sepultura's Morbid Visions is amazing, and sort of laid down the template for lots of bands



Morbid Angel, Altars of Madness.



Slayer, Show No Mercy

The first two Carcass LPs are pretty damn awesome, actually.

Slayer & Napalm Death

entombed
nile
deicide
autopsy
necrophagist

More more more!

From Poland, Vader - The Art of War.

Look at that album cover and tell me you're at least a bit curious to give it a listen

If you can stand the sight (and indeed) smell of Norweigian black metal, then one of the first 4 Burzum albums may find favour.

Vader means dad in Dutch.

mellysingsdoom- Yeah I know plenty of black metal bands but I was looking for some death metal

Darkthrone's first one would classify as death metal more than black metal I guess.

Apparently justin broadrick said that the ideal guitar sound he can think of was featured on old Obituary albums. I listened to their myspace songs but wasn't all that excited about them. Are they worth checking out more thoroughly?

I dunno if i'd class slayer as death metal.
The BEST death metal by far is dreaming with the dead by ripping corpse. Other good bands are nile, demigod, obituary atheist and nuclear death. I prefer thrash metal though.

ok, let's see:

-morbid angel: altars of madness is awesome for pure classic death metal.
-deicide, either get something really early or one of their latest
-carcass: their first four albums are fantastic.
-cannibal corpse: i know it's kinda unpopular to say it but i like their latest as opposed to their oldest.
-entombed - left hand path for some horror movie-influenced dm
-i can't recommend cryptopsy enough, one of the best ever!!!
-suffocation: most of their output, amazing, technical yet very very brutal.
-tipping your toes on grindcore here but terrorizer's world downfall.
-i don't listen to much obituary but they have their moments, especially early on.
-at the gates - slaughter of the soul
-immolation - harnessing ruin
-behemoth - demigod
-nile, although i wasn't so into their most recent.
-hate eternal - king of all kings
-benighted - identisick (sounds quite similar to early obituary but it's just amazingly executed)
-angel corpse - the inexhorable

They got rid of Lord Worm now...
"Cryptopsy is currently looking to audition candidates to fill the positions of "Singer/Frontman" and "Keyboardist/Sampler".

Singers must be able to sing in clean voice, on pitch, and also be able to scream/growl."

With the "clean voice, on pitch," I assume that means... they're going downhill...

*Mind, I'm not very familiar with them, I just know this, and death metal + clean vocals = pretty shitty almost always...

ohh shit!!! cryptopsy is going to suck now!!!

oh yeah, and necrophagist are really awesome too.
