What ever happened to good Death Metal

[Miltbrand]

Even though they get unfairly sometimes lumped in with death metal Sepultura is (pre-Roots, anyhow) thrash.

Wouldn't say it's unfair to call this death metal:

Autopsy anyone?

No, thank you. I'm still alive.

Oh, without a doubt. It's just that their "signature" sound came about after this album. This is still awesome, though.

Back then there wasn't any internet so you couldn't just look up some band you pretty much had to go buy it and hope it was good. Or go to a show and be exposed to a band and then go buy their shit.

Tower Records had an independent section and that was were most of the death metal/grindcore type tapes were. I would literally just randomly purchase tapes based on what the logo looked like or their name etc.

OMG I remember that too. Lot of times it was a hit or miss on getting a good tape/cd from a band you never heard of, and I got burned a few times and the band sucked. hahaha, I used to buy them too based on artwork and their logo

I never got into Black Metal either. It's mostly because there is soooo much music out there, I just never had the chance. Cradle Of Filth, I just refused to listen to them because I always saw these trendy Mall-rats wearing their shirts and didnt want to be associated with that..haha Children Of Bodom seem really good and not sure if considered Black Metal. Ive got a ton of their music but have not really listened to them.

Im the same way, and actually stopped listening to Cannibal Corpse when Chris left the band. I did buy the CD Vile, but never really listened to it much. George is a great singer but he belongs with Monstrocity. Imperial Doom is one of my all-time favorites.

The new Malevolent Creation "Invidious Dominion" is really good!

Malevolent Creation is a great band. They went through soo many lineup changes i kinda gave up on them. But good that Brett Hoffmann is back. They still have that solid sound

Back in the day, pretty much every band on Roadrunner and RC was a great band

Yep if it had a Roadrunner label on it there was a good chance it was quality.

One of my favorites back then was Gorguts "Considered Dead" I still listen to that one all the time1

 

[Sgt-D]

The only death metal band I really ever got into was Amon Amarth. Seriously brutal shit, but still somewhat melodic. Somewhat.

Not sure what deal is with that. They seem to keep a unified look from tour to tour that changes a bit here and there. They seem pretty tight-lipped and pretty deadpan about it which is kind of what makes it work. Still some pretty disgusting tones, though.
