I agree that a lot of the imagery and song titles surrounding Death Metal are ridiculous but when it started to push Thrash Metal to one side in the late 80's with it's complex time changes and heavier riffing, you could'nt help but be struck by it, if that was your genre of choice back then. Death and Obituary still remain the quintessential Death Metal bands for me.

I think Death Metal is a lot of fun. These lyrics from Entombed's "Full of Hell" always crack me up.
I've got a 24-lane highway going straight thru my head a peace of mind like a brainstorm and thoughts that knocks me dead I've got sympathy for the devil and demon is in my vein I'm organized chaos but don't call me stupid I'm insane At my worst I'm at my best wide awake but let sanity rest I'm full of hell all kinds of hell. ...by the way, little good devil worshiping has done for them financially. lol |
Ah, thank you, a good post.
My favorite Death Metal bands: -Abysmal Dawn (Death Metal) -Obscura (Technical Death Metal) -Nile (Technical Death Metal) -The Absence (Melodic Death Metal) -Ignominious Incarceration (Technical Melodic Death Metal) -Necrophagist (Technical Death Metal) -Dark Lunacy (Symphonic Melodic Death Metal) -Amon Amarth (Melodic Death Metal) -Dying Fetus (Technical Brutal Death Metal) -Psycroptic (Technical Brutal Death Metal) -At the Gates (Melodic Death Metal) -Haggard (Symphonic Death Metal) I might post s'more later |
Psycroptic are good musicians, but none of their songs are terribly memorable for me.
At The Gates Suffocation Nile |

Figured I'd narrow this down to a smaller list, and one that's in order:
Necrophagist Abysmal Dawn Nile Obscura |
Evocation, Obscura, Cesspool Of Vermin, Nile, Vader, Dying Fetus, Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal, Cannibal Corpse...
|
Ok, here we go
My favorites; Asphyx Tribulation Repulsion (Death/Grind, whatever I count them as both cuz they're just that good haha.) Carcass Autopsy (First two are amazing, Mental Funeral is one of my favorites ever.) Possessed Death Atheist Obituary Krisiun Pestilence Entombed Bolt Thrower Nocturnus Morbid Angel Spawn of Possession Malevolent Creation Suffocation Edge of Sanity Theory in Practice |
If I could only listen to 3 death metal bands, without a doubt:
1. Death 2. Nile 3. Bolt Thrower (Bias towards them being English) over Orbituary |
DM aficionados should get their hands on anything by !T.O.O.H.! Recently defunct, but awesome.
