Greatest progressive death metal album I've ever heard. sorry Death, Atheist, Cynic and Opeth

Their earlier stuff was decent death/thrash, and their second album was an incredibly disappointing industrial metal album.
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

some of the music in this thread starts out pretty ok and then the lyrics come in and i start to cringe

that's just IMO -- i'm not a fan of this type of music, ill respect it though.

What if you can appreciate the musical elements but get sick of the growling? Point me in the right direction!

If you can't take the growling, I'm afraid you won't get far with any death metal. There are bands with more tolerable growling (Death), and there are the bands that aren't as tolerable (Suffocation).

@ food: The vocals don't sound melodeath in their newer albums, and with melodeath, that's pretty much the only way to distinguish. They're power metal imo.

this is spot on. all the best death metal bands have less tolerable growls. if you really like the music, id suggest just listen to the best dm bands and try to ignore the growling

Well Warbringer doesn't have the greatest vocals either :|

You could try Demolition Hammer though. Their riffs are similar in structure to Malevolent Creation but the vocals are thrash style.



humorous title too!

I would never ignore the growling. It's not good to neglect a part of the music. If anything, you can think of singer as an instrument, instead of as the main act. The growl becomes much more tolerable when you get out of the "singing" mindset.

I was in the same position about 2 years ago:D. Start with Death/Necrophagist.

id say its better to ignore the growling of a good dm band rather than listen to the 'growls' of the shitty dm bands

what im trying to say is, its more fun for me to listen to the more musically accomplished dm bands, regardless of how abrasive their vocals are, than it is to listen to like in flames or whatever

Death and Necrophagist aren't shitty. Necrophagist might be redundant, but it is what got me into dm.

My personal favorite is Necrophagist because they are much more melodic and progressive with perhaps slightly less of the brutality compared to other bands like Deeds of Flesh or Origin.

oh my o_o


Necrophagist tries so hard to be edgy and brutal and dangerous, but I find the come off as adorable. They're kind of like kitten-evil in my books.

I still love them to death.

well i already thought necrophagist's vocals were pretty brutal, and i hadn't heard of the others so it only led me to assume.. D:
