Brutal/Slam Death Metal

[Zephyrus]

I gave Planishphaerium another listen. This is for sure a band you need to take your time with to fully decipher its greatness.

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I remember immediately worshipping it, but indeed repeated listens allow you to pick out amazing memorable sections.

[Zephyrus]

Exactly my experience.

Everything about wormed is insane. Their songs have a ton of atmosphere. Unfortunetely I've never heard the entire album.
I don't have a job which means no albums for me.

I am not an enthusiast but I am loving it for what it is. Aside from the samples.


BTW V5 sense I can only catch you here I swear I found band that you will like. I am sorry if its off topic and genre. They are called Animal Collective. For some reason after listening to your noise band and than these guys I think you will love it.

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Heard 'em not really my thing. Then again I don't really listen to that much noise/experimental outside my own work.

I saw Fetal Mutilation's video of groovy-slam-death-metal if that's the future of death metal were all in trouble, just what i needis a whole bunch of bandana faced punks swinging their feet in the air, Just wait til Brazil comes up with a band and you will see a fusion of slam-death with capoiera

I take offense at this statement. and your spelling is atrocious.

Get out then? YOUR KIND IS NOT WELCOME LEAVE THE HALL...

[Zephyrus]

I just lent all of the CD-r's from Nick's care package to my friend Ryan who lives down the hall. He's a real grindcore enthusiast and I plan on interviewing his band for ZephyrBlog.

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Excellent!

[Zephyrus]

Yep. I also added a link to your Visceral Pulse blog.

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Cool, I noticed that just now before you mentioned it!

Anyone have some album suggestions on what would be some good brutal DM to check out? I haven't heard much (Some Cannibal Corpse, some Behemoth, and some Cryptopsy, but that's about it), and I'm looking to get into some more. What albums would everyone suggest for a brutal DM newbie?

(And yeah, I know this should probably have gone into the band recommendations forum, but I figured why make a new thread when theres a Brutal/Slam DM thread sitting right here?)

[cookiecutter]

Welcome!

Some accessible bands

Devourment
Vomit Remnants
Soils of Fate
Suffocation
Goretrade

EDIT: also just so you know, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth and Cryptopsy are not brutal

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I'd also like to extend a welcome. The bands CC listed are great to start with, pretty groovy and brutal or otherwise accessible. Please check out the blog in either of our links (SLAM-MINDED) to learn more about brutal death.

See you on the forum!

[The Butt]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to check out The Metal Observer to find out which albums to get first by those bands, as well as the blog you mention.

I wasn't aware that those three bands I mentioned aren't brutal, thank you for correcting me. They were heavier than most of the DM I've heard (mainly melodic DM), and I was told by at least one person CC and Cryptopsy were brutal.

[V.V.V.V.V.]

They might be brutal in some sense, but not technically "brutal" in accordance to the genre's provisions.

I wouldn't credit The Metal Observer as a reliable source. You're better off just sticking with the experts here on this forum.

Yes. Unfortunately the word brutal, when not used in the context of this genre, is rather vague. Brutal in terms of death metal means a certain kind of death metal, best exemplified by Suffocation and Devourment, where as brutal just as an adjective could probably be ascribed to most extreme metal.

So it seems that Severed Savior has adopted Odious Mortem's vocalist, who will simultaneously front both bands. This could be cool, as long as neither band suffers from this relationship (which is unlikely imo). Dusty's vocals were pretty damn good though.

That sounds cool.

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Severed Savior is the definition of bland, hopefully OM's dude will help them out since I liked his vox on Cryptic Implosion. Weirdly understandable, not guttural at all.

In Slam-Minded news, Nick and I recently did an article on the Russian slam scene. Ivan of Cephalic Impurity will probably add to it eventually, so keep your eyes peeled.

Upcoming posts:
-Top ten brutal albums of '07
-Superlatives
-Year end thank yous etc.

No. I love that band.

[supseudonymous]
