Does any other death metal use clean vocals similar to Bolzer's? They have a weird, almost flamboyant charm to them if that makes any sense.

What would be a couple great tracks ruined by weak production, mediocre drums and occasional uninteresting parts that should have been cut.
As known (or I guess not so much back then) from Be'lakor, they write some delicious melodic riffs and leads, accompanied by atmospheric synths and double kick drums. However, on this one those last two things are not nearly present enough. Most of the keyboard work here is a more classic (and very dull sounding) piano, and most of the drums are very standard, very basic things such as those tediously slow blast beats. The songs lack tempo. This is especially made apparent in the second half of Tre'aste; they speed up here and it clearly works much better.
The intros are always really bland too, they don't do the rest of the song any justice at all, it makes them kind of off-putting.
The piano solo Paths is well written though it seems like it would have worked better with the full band, on its own it feels a bit stretched seeing it repeats itself.

Luckily they fix all of these weak points on their follow-up masterpiece. Re-record this with good production, let Jimmy try the drums again (he improved a lot) and this would be a very good album. As it stands though, it lacks punch and captivation, though the compositions are still good. 6.5~7

Don't know that album but if you want flamboyant Celtic Frosts Into the Pandemonium has some interesting stuff.

Does anyone know anything similar to this?

Bongripper - "Satan", from "Satan Worshipping Doom"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXtfNWlpx8Q

It's basically doom/sludge crossed with death and black.

I'm looking for similar sounding bands and, particularly, doom/sludge with strong riffs like that. All the doom/sluge I have heard is too slow and "light" for me.

Tom's vocals are straight ripped from this, though.

>>49231455
yes, and then i'll probably get sick of it after two songs.

>>49231704
"Satan" doesn't really mix black metal with doom at all, the intro is straight black metal and then the rest of the song plunges into groovy doom riffs. have you heard of diSEMBOWELMENT or The Ruins of Beverast? They're both better examples of death/doom and black/doom

So apparently Onslaught was a hardcore band before? anyone have those demos

>>49228470
You might want to try the early records first, since they turned to industrial metal later on. The next step is obviously Paul Chain's solo stuff, Black Hole, perhaps Opera IX's "Gothik" demo (or their later stuff with Cadaveria, although is a lot more extreme) or Mortuary Drape.

>>49230679
super good like amazing

>>49231892
>since they turned to industrial metal later on

Oh wow. Looks like this band has a lot to offer then, will look into what you mentioned, thanks.

just finished this

this is one of the better blackgaze albums I have heard (if you are into that kind of thing)
Not Alcest/Deafheaven/Lantlos tier, but it's good.

It suffers from being a little formulaic and drums just being double bass constantly through verses, but I really dig this
It borders on DSBM at times, and legitimately feels like an authentic atmospheric BM album a lot with the coarse vocals and extremely aggressive double bass and blast beats

It does get a little indulgent with the quieter post-rock bits but I think they pull it off well, even though there are times where it isn't even needed, they would just pull a easy going crescendo out of a blast beat or something

>>49234186
>Not Alcest
So it doesn't have the same awful vocals right?

>>49232864
First track is good, has a crusty feel that the rest of the album doesn't have
Most songs have a good part but a lot of it is kind of generic sounding. The vocalist sounds like Tomas Lindberg. They seem to be an Inter Arma side project

It doesn't matter if it's wrong. If it's the name of the album, it's the way it should be labelled. Because that's how the artist intended it. Your take on it is completely irrelevant.

>>49242803
>it's influential to a lot of shitty bands so it's good
What's with the influx of idiots this thread?

>>49242808
What if the artist didn't know what's the right way? That's the point. I can totally see it happening. I mean, most people don't even care about this capitalization thing.

>>49242803

the fact still stands, that CC plays "standard, generic death metal" also known as boring

>>49242818
Are you retarded? You can't call something standard and generic if it was the first to do so. When it's brand new, it's not 'standard' or generic.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you're like 16. If you were around when Cannibal first came out, you'd understand how they raised the bar for death metal.

>>49242823
Still doesn't matter, they can edit it in reissues, but official is official.

>>49242808

Did the artist intend to make me mad? Because that's all it's doing, capitalizing it wrong can't be anything but ignorance, their "vision" or what ever the fuck doesn't change

>>49242824
If you find Cannibal Corpse boring but generally like death metal, there's a good chance you're a young kid who's into the watered down, truly generic death metal bands that ripped them off in the first place. Hilarious.

>>49242829
I wasn't that other dude and I never said anything about it being generic.
Also, only "im older than u kid" is something only said by projecting kids who feel more mature than they actually are. Or retards who think it's a good argument I guess.

>>49242790
if you like the Scott Burns sound then CC is one of the best of that era.

DsO went from shitty Darkthrone worship in their beginnings to extremely gaudy, longwinded spooky-scary-skeletons music in SMRC, to half-decent mathcore in Paracletus. No matter which era of DsO you listen to, they are middlebrow garbage and you have no taste in that particular style

>>49242862
Giving examples, At The Gates is completely retarded, in my opinion. The same with Children Of Bodom.

>>49242887
You still missed his point.

>>49242887
So what's your point? You don't find Cannibal Corpse generic but I'm an idiot because I agree with you? You don't make sense. I responded to your post in the first place because it implied that you were agreeing with that other anon's claims of CC being standard/generic.

It's like calling Black Sabbath standard and generic because Saint Vitus and Electric Wizard borrow from their sound. It doesn't make sense. Sabbath invented that particular sound and style in the first place.

>>49242893
I mean the capitalization, not the bands, although CoB sucks dick.

>>49242862
>>49242893
Okay well, you being mad is cool and all but that doesn't make the official title different.
If you want to label it wrong in your library, that's your choice.

>>49242887
And he didn't say anything about it being good you fucking idiot.

He said it wasn't boring/generic. You said that he said it was good. He was simply responding saying it can't be generic if it was one of the first bands to do so. Can you just understand this?

>>49242932
I didn't even use the word boring because that's subjective. What isn't subjective is how they weren't standard, generic or a rehash of what was going on at the time.

>>49242914
No I didn't. CC is shit and it spawning many bands doesn't make it good.
He's making a point about it being "generic" whereas I never intended to on that in the first place.
Again, I'm not the other guy. I'm just calling CC shit.

>>49242932
He called it decent right here >>49242769, but then again I am only assuming that is still the same person.
Nice name-calling without a reason though. That sure helped strengthen your point.

>>49242923
Ok I can't belive I'm doing this but whatever. Look at the At the Gates and CoB pages.

https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/at_the_gates
https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/children_of_bodom

Do you think this is the wrong way? I don't. I can totally see it being ok on the album art, but out of this context, it should be capitalized correctly.

>>49242984
>whereas I never intended to on that
To comment on that is what I meant to say.

>>49242984
Ok, let's put this simple so you can understand it, generic != bad, and in the same way, non-generic != good.

>>49242987
It being labelled as that on RYM doesn't make it true. That's just their capitalization policy for everything.
Yes, it is wrong.

>>49242984
You called him a retard so I don't know why you would even bring up name-calling.

Also it doesn't matter because he didn't say it was good BECAUSE it influenced a lot of bands, he simply used that fact to refute the other guy that said that they were shit because of being generic.

Is the Venom - Black Metal remaster any good?

>>49243009
What are you even going on about? I told you I never intended to comment on that. I just call them shit.

>>49243813
Only if you're afraid that anonymous internet strangers will think less of you because you like a band that's popular, and therefor must suck. If you're capable of making your own decisions and forming your own opinions, you'll apply that process to Dimmu Borgir and any other band. These tweens on /mu/ will just keep circle jerking the same albums that were posted on a blog yesterday and continue to craft their finely tuned hipster images, while you'll be too busy enjoying what you like to care.

So, it's up to you, really.

speed is kind of an essential part of pure death metal. it's not all fast 100% of the time, but get used to it.

Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
Possessed - Seven Churches
Death - Scream Bloody Gore
Autopsy - Mental Funeral

>>49245666
Not as far as I know. Just go listen to Blasphemy, Revenge, Conqueror, Archgoat, Bestial Warlust, etc.

In many cases it's just "bands that rip off Fallen Angel of Doom"

>>49245897
well death doom is a thing
listen to disembowelment or esoteric (though they're borderline funeral doom)

>>49244338

i can't help but think that certain sections (specifically grind, melo- and doom) need a huge overhaul, but i did that list when i had less knowledge of the genre. for what it was, i think it was a success

I like both death metal and deathcore of "pleb" and "patrician" variants why is listening to deathcore suddenly a bad thing I never really understood that.

>>49247587
>You not liking them doesn't mean they're crap, dude. I don't understand why people do this.
This. I wish people would realise this more often.

Personally s/t is great, Legion is one of the best death metal albums ever (no hyperbole it's incredible for 1992), Once and Serpents were really catchy but not classic, but still had good songwriting.. Then they definitely faltered a bit until Scars which imo was quite underrated, Stench was a fantastic return to form then it all got a bit by-the-numbers for me for the next few albums (which tends to happen with most long-running bands these days if you ask me...)

Anyone like Exhumed?

I honestly don't know how you can call yourself an extreme metal fan if you don't like Into Everlasting Fire/Father, You're Not a Father.

>>49247564
Deathcore is the third worst thing to have happened to music.
Also refer to >>49244067.

>>49247601
I haven't listened to Incantation because they are always compared to Immolation whom I do not like. Are you retarded?
Also refer to >>49244067.

What other reason would you have for announcing you will "leave forever!!!!"?

>>49247748
You seem pretty obnoxious with your incredibly strong opinions. Imagine your statements in a mild-mannered conversation about music

"Do you like deathcore?"
"DEATHCORE IS THE THIRD WORST THING TO HAVE HAPPENED TO MUSIC."
"Alright... what about Incantation? They're not deathcore.."
"I HAVEN'T LISTENED TO INCANTATION BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS COMPARED TO IMMOLATION WHOM I DO NOT LIKE. ARE YOU RETARDED?"

>whom

>>49247795
>strong opinions = wrong opinions
>"imagine how people will think of you"
No him, but you're the worst kind of faggot.

>>49247795
Also furthermore I don't think Incantation is really anything like Immolation... I got into Immolation a lot more than Incantation which I never really got that into ..(case in point: I can recognise many Immolation songs but not really Incantation...)..

Plus Incantation was always more doomy and filthy whilst Immolation had a really eclectic, off-kilter and overall unholy approach to their metal..

Beverast is only ruins now :^(

>>49247832
There's a difference between "yeah it's not my thing really can't get into it" to "NO THAT SHIT SUCKS YOU SHOULDN'T LISTEN TO IT YOU FAGGOT"

>>49247785
hmm let's look at what i said in the archive:

"I’ll try to stay off /mu/ (though it does have a way of keeping you there forever), since the general vibe of 4chan isn’t something I like too much, and I’m starting to be too busy to be able to afford to spend time doing sharethreads. But I’m glad some people on here got a lot out of my threads! I sure enjoyed doing them."

i don't see "LEAVE FOREVER" in there

>>49247875
It's the same problem. The form does not invalidate the message by itself.

>>49247883
It's alright dude, you seem like a cool guy and I kinda relate with what you're saying.. /mu/ does have a way of keeping you here but the negative/angry vibe of 4chan really just makes you think "what the hell am I doing here still"

>>49247748

Never understood the comparison to Incantation, they are pretty damn different bands.

It doesn't matter if you think it isn't, I heard earlier that it was which is my reason for not having listened to them in the past.

>>49247943
Meh, I get the appeal, but their music gets tiresome.

>>49247883
One post though. I'm not going to dig through the archive but I do remember you saying it, or something along the lines.
But it is a good thing that you dropped your trip.

>>49247961
The albums following it are better, up to the Damnation/Deliverance pair. But, you need your internet cred, so better seem different.

>>49247943

Orchid and Morningrise are really solid.

>>49247964
>It doesn't matter if you think it isn't, I heard earlier that it was which is my reason for not having listened to them in the past.
a silly reason to avoid a band, especially a famous one

just sayin'

>>49247990
i probably did at one point but i'd like to consider my archive to be the final statement, since it was intended as such

>>49247943
Good compositions, often lacks captivation.
Some stellar songs, Deliverance being one of the best metal songs of all time.
Damnation is their best album.

>>49247943
Could never get into them. Actually tried listening to Morningrise again earlier today and it was even more boring than last time...

>>49247999
>the internet points argument
No. Opeth was decent before 2000. And Orchid is their best album.

>>49248043
Why would it be a silly reason? I listened to Immolation, I didn't like them. I heard that Incantation is similar to a band I do not like. Thus I did not listen to them. Fame is completely irrelevant.

While both of those are true, it was also Morningrise that started to get them attention in the zines and everything.
Hmmm, I'm sure it's only a coincidence that their only 'good' record is the one that set the pattern for what they'd do over the next several albums AND is the one before they started to catch on. Because they'd obviously suck after the did the same things as they did on their first album but were getting more popular. You can't look cool in middle school or online when other people listen to the same bands as you do.

>>49248202
>just type in "broccoli",

Obviously I did, even though I spelled it wrong, as my post posted.

>i don't see what the problem is

Neither do I. I just mentioned it; you're the one making a big deal out of it. Perhaps you can explain?

>>49248141
Morbid Angel, Death, Deicide, Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, ... I tried most of them. American death metal is not for me.
Some worse than others but I like none of them. I'm not going to waste my time checking out more of it or giving it more time until I have Stockholm syndrome because I'd rather listen to music I enjoy.
I'm sure there are exceptions but I'd much rather look for gold in a pile of gold than in a pile of shit.

>>49248259
You... don't like Death? Every single album of Death?

>>49248259
Suffocation is responsible for deathcore so more people should hate them.

(Seriously, how many deathcore bands ripped off their first album?)

>>49247896
Okay, whatever you say man

>>49247964
I think you're missing the point entirely.
Maybe you should just re-evaluate your attitude to others.

>>49248215
>Hmmm, I'm sure it's only a coincidence that their only 'good' record is the one that set the pattern for what they'd do over the next several albums
this is the part that's actually true though, your pointless e-cred argument aside

generally once a band creates a formula, successive iterations of it rely on the same old ideas and are thus pretty redundant. there are very few bands that can get away with not evolving their sound, no matter the musical style. metal just happens to have lots of artists who are very complacent and formulaic

>>49248277
Not that anon but yeah, outside of Death's demos I don't care for them either. Chuck had a lot more ambition before their first LP.

>>49248301
Why is deathcore a bad thing? Please can someone explain this to me? I used to hate deathcore because it was 'offensive' to my metal lifestyle back when I was 16 but now that I'm older it's just a modern variant of death metal with breakdowns to me.

>>49248277
Some worse than others like I said. Death is okay and definitely the best of the lot as far as I remember but not something I would often listen to.
>>49248317
Why would I be friendly towards people who are not friendly towards me? Either way I try to stay neutral even though I always end up being extremely passive aggressive.

>>49248259

>>49248301

deathcore is more dependant on metalcore, cryptopsy and pantera

>>49248331

I'm sorry I made you cry so hard about this. Your ego is obviously very bruised. Go tell mommy.

>>49248301

leave Suffocation alone!

>>49248352
I guess 4chan is just an unfriendly place in general.

I guess you're a fan of the philosophy 'an eye for an eye'

I seriously can't believe that the whole "metal is badass, all the rest is gay shit for posers" thing is still relevant. I get extra cringe points, cause I use to be a part of that "debate". Once you get to a certain age, none of that shit matters guys/girls.

>>49248346
lots of deathcore has really sleek and plastic production, the "technicality" is just noodling around in diminished scales, the songwriting is formulaic as hell, and the aesthetic is obnoxious.

there's a few gems, mostly among the more hardcore-influenced side (see: burning skies, animosity) or the atmospheric side (kardashev, first contortionist ep) but it's a genre with a ton of redundant crap

>>49248259
Try Posessed- Seven Churches. Very early Death Metal and quite thrashy. Also Bolt Thrower are catchy as hell. I'm not a fan of traditional death metal "cookie monster" vocals, but in some cases the music is good enough for me to look past it.

>>49248354
Atheist was on my checklist for a long time, but that is prog/tech death as far as I know. Different genre.
I ended up not checking them since I don't really care any more, and my backlog is big enough as is.
I appreciate the recommendations though.

>>49248395
Absolutely.

>>49248346
All the deathcore I've heard substitutes riffs for mindless chugging, any actual atmosphere for pseudo-'heaviness' (downtuning as low as you can go for the fuck of it), has awful vocals (squeals), a wannabe-tough-guy attitude/essence, etc.

>>49248451
>substitutes riffs for mindless chugging
there are very few good riff-writers in the genre, yeah

within the ruins and substructure are honestly not too bad though. and the stuff which is basically mathcore, like see you next tuesday, journal, schoenberg automaton, etc. is good

>>49248432

Not at all. It does need to be primarily black to be on a black metal chart.
Call it BM/BDM chart then.

metal is not just for normal children

it's for retarded children

>>49248419
Fair enough though I do find a lot of modern metal albums from old established bands (eg Overkill, Dark Tranquillity) have extremely sterile production. I don't really listen to deathcore that much anymore but I go for it if I'm in the mood for rock-stupid in your face caveman breakdowns where you switch your brain off. Suicide Silence is probably the best for that.
The 'tech' parts are just nice buildups to that shit (Probably why Whitechapel's new stuff isn't as good to me as the older stuff.. too much "tech". Saying that the more 'progressive' 'djenty' deathcore bands like Veil of Maya are ace.). I don't think the aesthetic is any different from the aesthetic of other metal bands really - same shit but in a different way.

Good recommendations though.

>>49248451
>mindless chugging
>downtuning as low as you can
>pig squeals
>toughguy attitude

Haha that's why I like it, it's so retarded you can't take it too seriously! Waking The Cadaver were perfect for that in terms of sheer ridiculousness... Hell a lot of that can be attributed to slam death.. which is probably more ridiculous hahaha. Cephalotripsy, Epicardiectomy, Guttural Secrete.. What daft sounding bands, but fantastic.

>>49248494
Yeah Within The Ruins are good. I do love the chugs though. There are genres of metal you listen to for the riffs and some of the 'false' genres if you listen on a chug basis are just plain fun..

>I don't really listen to deathcore that much anymore but I go for it if I'm in the mood for rock-stupid in your face caveman breakdowns where you switch your brain off. Suicide Silence is probably the best for that.

You might not take them seriously but a lot of the bands themselves do.
I'm not telling you you can't have fun with things but you can't deny deathcore is a weak genre full of rehashes and bland, shallow music.
Thus, people who are more serious about music are going to despise it for just being bad.
To put it in /v/ terms, you can have fun with Call of Duty all you want but there are much better shooters out there.

>>49249028
Wait, on the chart it actually is.

Nice joke chart maker, but it's not comic sans and you're a faggot.

Are there any albums out there similar to The Satanist, only less... song-based? Like, i'm talking something similar sonically and vocally, but with tracks that meander and wander.

Basically, i'm looking for something like The Satanist that's structured more like a Wolves in the Throne Room record.

Dance of December Souls is too melodic to be there. To be honest, they had more black metal influences than death metal.

>>49249116
ok

"Best" goes to Graveforests and their Shadows - Walknut, but "favorite" goes to Tietäjän Laulu - Kauan. I realize that neither are popular choices and the second doesn't count as metal in a lot of people's books. Yes, I made that distinction. Yes, I am a pleb.

Enthrone Darkness Triumphant has the most 'bearable' Peter Tagtgren production job. I can't stand the production of The Antichrist or Hypocrisy's later stuff.
The album itself is pretty decent, so were Stormblast and Spiritual Black Dimensions. For all tid is mediocre, and I never cared for the rest.

mitochondrion. theyre not nearly as overproduced as behemoth, but they write long and abstract songs with elements of black and death metal, and an occult aesthetic

>>49247686
Yeah, I think pretty much everyone knows that.
And no, their symphonic/extreme gothic metal stuff is way better.

>>49249133
very cool

>>49237136
Whats the name of this album? I really liked Earth, so I'm intrigued

>>49249319
Definitely sounds cool.

>>49239996
Gave it a listen; I really like this album :^)

>>49243087
Well, based on listens during these last years, I'd say Lifelover - Konkurs.

>>49243087
The Somberlain.

The Satanist was pretty black metal, if you ask me.

>>49249864
Clearly death metal.

>>49249864
are they speaking fucking elfish or someshit?

>>49250175
Are you fucking retarded or someshit?

>>49250016
Not clearly death metal, if anything this song reminds me of Pandemonic Incantations, but sped up.

>>49250175
>Polish
>Elfish

Sure.

Suprisingly easy decision.

>>49248692
I like to think that DT are pretty unique.

>>49250016
Their earlier albums like "Zos Kia Cultus" and "Demigod" were clearly death metal. The Satanist is way closer to their first couple of albums like "Grom" than for example "Evangelion"

wheres the new thread u lazy fucks

>>49250750

fucked up link since i hurried to post it, but this thread's dying soon anyways

Does anyone know any interesting metal blogs or sites where I can get download links an reviews for new and especially less talked about metal albums?

I visit realmofmetal about once a week and its pretty decent, and sludgelord (only posts links to already free bandcamps but they have good taste and post a lot of under the radar shit)

it's not enough though I have been having a blast keeping up with as much music as possible this year but I need more
