I have heard a bit of slam death metal here and there and love it. I love it for the groove. I"d love to hear more. What are the best slam death metal bands and albums to get started on?
If you want info on slam death, our blog is a great place to get it. We're also modest.
The essentials though:
Devourment
Wormed
Vomit Remnants
Soils of Fate
Goretrade
Other albums to check out:
Infernal Revulsion - Devastate Under Hallucination
Digested Flesh - The Answer to Infection
Septycal Gorge - Growing Seeds of Decay
And a self-promoting link to boot! Heh, oh well. All of those are essential to some degree (Dying Fetus and Lividity aren't really essential, but that might just be because I dislike most of their output...ah well, taste's a bitch).
Here are a few though, so you don't even have to go to the link:
Dripping (seconded; amazing band)
Wormed (also seconded)
Saprogenic (slam sometimes, use lots of tremolo riffs though)
Human Rejection
Infernal Revulsion
Fetal Mutilation (best kept Filipino secret seriously)
Woundeep
Hyonblud (the best Chinese death metal bar none)
Regicide (other good Chinese BDM)
I only started this thread 10 minutes ago and already have a large amount of reccomendations! I"ll check out the links. I should be all set now, thanks!!
