Ahhh a fellow death metal fanatic. I like Suffocation, great stuff, arent they a new york band? As for Nile, theyre pretty decent as well, but i never got too into em, good band nevertheless. My favorite suffocation songs are probably funeral inception, catatonia, thrones of blood, you know, stuff a soccer mom could really get in to. I never really looked into dying fetus though. What are some other bands you like? As far as American death metal goes, i like Deicide, old Slayer, stuff along those lines. My real love of metal lies in the European stuff, especially Swedish death metal [;)]

I'm with you...the Scandinavians really have it together. I've seen In Flames play several times (although I think they're starting to turn into sissies), At the Gates, ummmm...Dark Tranquility, Emperor, Borknager. I didn't mention these bands in my original reply because they are not as heavy and aggressive aas the ones I did mention.
You know about the guy from Emperor, right? I think it was their original drummer or their bassist or something. He was in a bar and a gay dude started hitting on him, so he took a [red][b]SWORD[/b][/red] and killed the guy! Now I'm no supporter of gay bashing, but goddamn! He killed a guy with a sword???
That is why he is no longer in the band--he is in jail for a couple years.
I also love Cradle of Filth as well as Hecate Enthroned, but again...those kinds of bands are more of an aquired taste.
If you want great Gotherburg-style metal, like In Flames or At the Gates, and you want to support the domestic music scene...check out a band called From the Depths from Cleveland. They are on a major label now (Root of All Evil records, IIRC), and IMO are just as good, if not better than In Flames. I'd say a bit heavier than In Flames, though.
And if I had to pick a single DEATH METAL album to recommend most highly, it would be [i]Yeest[/i] from Blood Duster (their 1st album). Don't go and download 1 or 2 mp3s. The album is structured so all the songs fit together and build on each other. Just pay the money and get the real CD. It is fucking great music for shooting, working out, having sex, whatever. Accd to the reviews I read, Blood Duster's 2nd album (I forget the name) was a piece of shit, and I have their 3rd album called [i]Cunt[/i] which is pretty good, although it's pretty short. Blood Duster is an Australian band.
Does anyone on this board ever go to the annual Milwaukee Metal Fest? They feature something like 150 bands each year from all over the world. Great way to get introduced to lots of unknown talent. If any others go, IM me. Maybe we can set up an AR15 Death Metal caravan for next year's Metal Fest. I love the metal fest...great music, crazy freaks everywhere, and beautiful women all dressed up like
[red][size=6]SLUTS FROM HELL![/red][/size=6]
Alright I will end this before I get carried away.
Oh yeah, Amorphis used to be a good band, but anything after [i]Elegy[/i] sounds like it was written by a bunch of fruits. Check out their earlier stuff, or [i]Elegy[/i] itself.
