Black/Death Metal Appreciation/Recommendation Thread

DrumSteve · 29-10-2010 1:48pm #1

Could see another one of these threads around so I figured I'd set this one up.

I personally, love black and death metal and the hundreds of little sub-genres within. The techincality of some of the bands involved is breathtaking. I've often found myself sitting on youtube for hours looks at derek roddy's drumming technique or listening to some obscure Nile track such as (although its not that obscure its my favourite):

This is also a particular favourite:

Ha thats gas, I have just put on Emperor before I read this post. In the Nightside Eclipse is such an amazing album and has such a dark and foreboding sound to it. As much as I like I am the Black Wizards the track below is my fave

This track is magic in ways I cant explain.

Good thread idea. Hopefully I'll discover some death/black metal bands that I have somehow missed up until now.

Here's my contribution:

I'd be a big enough fan of Death Metal mainly old school bands though, Morbid Angel, Death, Carcass, Cancer, Cannibal Corpse, Zyklon, Behemoth, Bolt Thrower, Pestilence, early Deicide, that kinda thing and maybe a few sun-genre bands like Heaven Shall Burn, older Arch Enemy. I'm quite picky when it comes to the bands I listen to, not to look 'cool' or anything it's just the above bands have what I enjoy about DM.

Black Metal I wouldn't be a fan as much, I'd only really listen to Emperor and Immortal.

I can see myself spending alot of time in this thread

A year ago I wouldn't have been a fan of much extreme music at all.

Now all I listen to is black/death metal

hah. fúcking love it! Must have listened to hundreds of black/death albums in the past few months.

My black metal contribution, addicted to this album at the moment:

I'd post Wolves in The Throne because they're that amazing but we'd be here all day.

why'd we be here all day? :P just a wee taster is needed for those who haven't heard them!

Wolves are amazing, check out altar of plagues above too, they are constantly being compared to each other!

ride-the-spiral · 30-10-2010 1:54am

Well my favourite song is I Will Lay Down My Body... which is 18 minutes long

but Two Hunters is a phenomenal album anyway.

And yeah I love Altar too, so annoyed that I missed them in the Twisted Pepper and when they were here with ISIS but now that I'm 18 I eagerly await their return.

Some of my most listened to black or death metal bands at the moment are Anaal Nathrakh, Dying Fetus, Misery Index, Napalm Death, Mayhem, Behemoth, Impaled Nazarene, Shining and Xasthur.

I would recommend Natan for some quality Black Metal their album Het Zicht Van De Dood (they sing in Flemish) is class with "Velden Van Bloed" being a personal favourite:

Being a teenager at the end of the 80' I grew up with the NWOBHM and speed-thrash but I really enjoyed the most of this music with the new wave of death metal.

Here some old skull combos
