I've never listened to early Pantera, but I hear they were closer to Van Halen than... Pantera. So, I don't imagine you have to worry about your ears bleeding. On that note, you should probably stay away from
Far Beyond Driven and
The Great Southern Trendkill. They're about as close to death metal-brutal as non-extreme metal gets. This is me being honest and not trolly BTW.
I was also serious about you listening to the Chasm. Whether or not you review it for your journal, I would be curious to see how you felt about death metal with no vocals. I've taken the liberty of collecting the non-vocal songs from that album I mentioned. They're a death metal band, so they're not exactly easy listening, but they're also not nearly as abrasive as Cryptopsy, and actually let some honest-to-dog melody into their music. I might say they're even proggy if I were qualified to call something proggy.
