Which is the best, Florida or New York Death Metal?

[Profanity]

Florida by far. I mean come on, Death, Morbid Angel, Cynic, etc...

New York has Suffocation, Immolation, Skinless e.t.c

New York has better songwriting and musicianship.

The Florida scene is bigger but the New York scene is better.

They are both good, but for BRUTAL and technical death metal fans, Texas is the place to go to. Or Ohio, because of the great death metal fest. Or Tennessee (Brodequin) and California (Disgorge).

but for BRUTAL and technical death metal fans, Texas is the place to go to.

Can you give an example of any bands?

 

[Astral Poetry]

I really only know of good black metal bands coming from Texas. It's not really known for death metal.

Your opinion.

 

[R.I.P.2]

Your opinion.

Not really, he seemed to steal Charubic Murder's opinion.

I actually think the Florida scene had better musicianship, Atheist and Cynic in particular.

Florida Wins Hands Down.

Why? Well, Florida Is Looked As A Paradise & If You Can Come From Such A Place With Sooooo Much Brutality & Evil....

 

[ffanatic]

Florida, for Death, Cynic, Morbid Angel, and Atheist

Like I said, Texas is THE place for death metal, but I am talking the extremely BRUTAL and often technical sort here, so bands like SECT OF EXECRATION, PROPHECY, or DEVOURMENT might not ring any bell for you. This is some extreme stuff and they stay very much underground, but many famous bands are rookies when compared to them as far as skill goes. I also think the Texas scene is great because it influenced other fantastic bands; BRODEQUIN, DISGORGE, or the all-star band CINERARY. For a long list of bands and a detailed description of the scene, visit the following page (Profanity too, this is something you might like), the page explains everything better than I possibly can:

[Heart of Steel]

I personally prefer Florida Death Metal, especially Cannibal Corpse, Death, Deicide and Morbid Angel.

 

[pisschrist]

florida.

 

[Astral Poetry]

I think Texas is a bit stronger for black metal. Absu, Averse Sefira, Thornspawn...all very good bands. Though I haven't been exposed to any death metal from here (save Funeral Rites) so I could be mistaken.

 

[Utuk Xul]

Sorry but both Death and Cynic alone are superior to any other band from these areas when it comes to song writing and especially musicianship.

I suggest you listen to "Pierced From Within" closely....

 

[Cannibalistic]

Why the fuck does it matter?

 

[chemicalburn]

I have a basic familiarity with each of the styles...but would anyone care to elaborate on what exactly it is that sets them apart...if its possible

I suggest you listen to "Pierced From Within" closely....

I have. Now I suggest you listen to "Individual Thought Patterns" closely.

Floridal is standard Death Metal, the scene is very big and very overated.

New York is standard Death Metal, the scene is not quite as big as Florida's but features better songwriting and musicianship.

Texas has a unique sound and produces the best Technical/Brutal Death Metal and has one of the worlds biggest underground scenes.

North Carolina has a very big underground scene like Texas but isn't as well known and doesn't have as distinct sound.

California has a very big and very good quality scene. A lot of the DM is Death Thrash or Thrash inspired Death.

 

[SculptedCold]

No, Texas isn't that special at all for death metal.
