I remember when Johan Hegg took a loving drinking horn from his belt, filled it with beer, went like "you're a fantastic crowd and true warriors; this is for you!" and toasted to the audience, and everyone lost their poo poo

When talking about death metal bands, Death is hardly mentioned in this thread. What's anyones opinion on them? I never listen to anything other than their two last albums. Their early work eventho it seems pretty popular sounds so, uh, raw and without direction.

I saw them open for Children of Bodom at my first ever concert, and I saw them again in 07 on the tour that Decapitated was supposed to be on. They dedicated Fate of Norns to Vitek.

I never got into children of bodom because the senior in high school who wore a leather jacket 24/7 that introduced me to metal when I was a freshman/sophomore said they were bad. That same day he sent me home with a bunch of overkill albums and a bootleg VHS of SOD's "Live at Budokan". Kind of weird how much of an influence that had on me.

Their early work eventho it seems pretty popular sounds so, uh, raw and without direction. Death absolutely rules, and every album is a classic in its own way. From the raw grit of Scream Bloody Gore to the all-out prog of The Sound of Perseverance, Chuck pushed the envelope for death metal, he was always one step ahead of everyone else. Speaking of Death, Matt Harvey of Exhumed heads Gruesome, a tribute band playing death metal specifically in the style of early Death. They've done albums/EPs in the style of the first four Death albums, and are absolutely worth a spin. They're also ridiculously good live, I was lucky enough to catch them at an old school basement show with room for like 80 people. Probably the best concert I've ever been to.

I got into more extreme metal by some kid on my middle school bus (probably 93-94) who let me listen to Monstrosity one day and I was like wooooah this is cool. Before then I was purely Metallica, AC/DC, Queen type stuff.

KozmoNaut posted:Matt Harvey of Exhumed I love Matt, he's a funny dude. Saturday night was the last night of the Revocation tour and as Exhumed were getting near the end of their set, Matt said, "We've learned something from touring with these guys. We've learned that there are two kinds of metal bands. One kind is always working on their craft and pushing themselves further as musicians and pushing the boundaries of extreme metal in general... (cheers from the crowd) ... and the other kind has a fuckin' chainsaw." I'm sad I had to miss part of Revo's set but I was really fuckin' tired. Tonight though. Suffocation

It's like after Hatebreeder they just started stockpiling good ideas for a rainy day, then after releasing 2 of their worst albums they blew their load. The drums at the start of the Halo of Blood t/t get me so pumped.

I'm one of those dudes that's pro "Posessed were the first DM band" and every single Death album dooks all over 7 Churches, as much as I love it. Edit: After typing that out I'm actually going to walk it back. 7 Churches is better than like half of Death's albums.

Nah Seven Churches is really dated. SBG is a bit dated too but they leveled way up for Leprosy.

No hook by Death gets caught in my brain like the one in "The Exorcist" from Possessed does. No riff Death has ever done can match the intensity of the title track to "Seven Churches".

Blake must have put these out before the wheels completely fell off because he actually sent them to NWN. I think he now owes Yosuke $7,000 and a bunch of Leviathan records.

I got my 1st Sublevel super timely and in perfect condition, he's just dropped the ball on every single release since then it seems like. He sent me a tracking number for the Distant in Solitary Night boot coming up on 5 months ago now and it is still just in "pre-shipment." I saw a post from Yosuke today that he plans on taking Blake to court.
