Great Death Metal List
This isn't me starting another list. Instead, it's me linking a great list I encountered a little while back. When searching for some new suggestions for old school death metal, I came across this Top 106 list that was put together by somebody who really knows their stuff. I've discovered several really good releases thanks to this list, so I thought I'd share it. For anybody looking for some good old fashioned death metal to sink your teeth into, here are a truckload of excellent suggestions.

That is a hell of a list. I am ashamed I only own 17 of those. I have some stuff to find.
ReplyDeleteOff that list, I have only 7 of the albums listed (I have about twice that many of the bands listed, but not the album that made the list). I will definitely have to look further into this
ReplyDeleteWell I have 30, plus albums by a few of the other bands, but that still leaves me with the majority of the list unexplored.
ReplyDeleteI just got one more. I can't believe I didn't have Effigy of the Forgotten. I can't tell you how much I love Suffocation. Souls to Deny is the album that finally made straight death "click" for me, when before I usually only listened to melo-death and proggy death.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how that can happen sometimes. There's just so much stuff to get, sometimes really obvious holes go unnoticed.
ReplyDeleteA lot of those are tough to find an out of print and given my preference for owning the physical album, I don't have nearly enough of them. Maybe once my new firm starts making some good money and I get past the wedding, I will revisit this list.
ReplyDeleteYeah, if you want the physical album many of those are problematic. I just linked it because I think it's an excellent resource for material to check out.
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of other albums I would have liked to see on that list. Sinister's Diabolical Summoning and Xenomorph's Empyreal Regimes would have both fit in well there.
ReplyDeleteRepugnance, Necrophagia, Apophis, Funerus, Vomitory, and Malevolent Creation all would have made me happy to see on the list. It has its holes to be sure, but I tend to look at it as a good resource rather than a definitive "best of".
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've heard either of the albums you named, though, so that gives me a couple more things to check out.
