The Batlord

Thanks. I considered "Music to Kill Cute, Fuzzy Animals To", but I pussed out. Actually I thought of it ten seconds ago, but I just felt like lying.

The Batlord

Death: Scream Bloody Gore

Death's later works might have been the height of technical/progressive death metal, but early on they were dirtier than a whore's underwear. This, their debut, is probably my favorite of their's and is everything that I love about eighties extreme metal. It's just right in that sweet spot between black, thrash, and death metal where it's raw, simple, ugly, and brutal. Nothing pretty or subtle about this album, just pure awesomeness.

Chuck Schuldiner was one of the best DM vocalists of all time, his voice is a hideous rasp that, along with the heavy hardcore punk influence, really propels the music at a breakneck pace with bags of energy. And speaking of hardcore, I remember hearing that some members of an earlier Death line-up left to form Repulsion who would go on to release the first ever grindcore album, Horrified, and while Scream Bloody Gore isn't grind, it's definitely got many of the same influences and isn't at all shy to go into a proto-blast-and-grind mode that isn't a million miles away from Napalm Death at times.

R.I.P. Chuck.

I get where you are coming from but I would say that 99% of Metal is too polished for this sort of thread but here is some stuff that may tick the boxes:

Not quite Punk and not quite Metal, Infest are one of my favourite bands of all time and have one of the dirtiest sounds I have ever heard. I have mentioned them a few times on MB but **** it, they are worth it:


Denial Fiend:

Ex members of Death in here.

Want some Garage Rock?:

This from an album and not a bad live gig!

Not much Metal. Apologies. Good call on Gorerotted though. Only Tools and Corpses is a great album. Great album title too!

Forward To Death

There's no problem, call it whatever you want.

I just think it's silly to refer to music you think is good as "****ty".

With that said, good thread. I'm not going trying to derail it.

Engine

I agree with you.
And... Death? C'mon, Chuck Schuldiner was never low-rent scuzz.

Forward To Death

I think Batlord means raw metal, and he's generalizing it with a term that he's been trying to coin here for a while now. Death's early stuff is pretty raw in all fairness. To me though, production doesn't mean ****. Lots of great music has horse**** production.

Engine

True. It's just semantics I guess. The thread title is kind of a scuzzy way to get attention, though. And it's confusing.
