Haunting keyboard intros etc. are very welcome but I'm NOT looking stuff like "The Key". I wan't something less calculated but more demonic and atmospheric.

If there is DM similar to what I described, could anyone drop some names.

Insanity demo EP/reh. are influenced by Possessed a lot but more raw.

I think it's overrated

could we consider BloodFeast as DM? if so...thats among my fave ones....

wicked keeper wrote:Sadus are Death Metal now? Oh,well ,if everyone and their dog can consider Possessed DM ,then why not?

Well, Sadus is pure thrash to me. But in early nineties death metal was hip in underground so even raw thrash got death -tag easily in order to get respect in death metal circles.

Mortem? http://www.myspace.com/thetruemortem
Really great stuff!!!!

Mortem truly is one of the few active death metal i really appreciate. And suits for Possessed fans. Like Necrovore!

Havent dared to hear their third album which i heard is kind of death metal. Earlier stuff is awesome thrash

Some other great bands:

PENTACLE from Holland: Still delevering the goods.
IMPIETY: Death/black whatever, love their stuff.
OBSCURITY: Thoes demo's are excellent
ANATOMY: Really great and very dark sounding death metal
FATAL: Their early stuff works very well

I love that classic, thrashy death metal from the late 80s / early 90s, for example stuff like:

Massacre - From Beyond
Death - Spiritual Healing
Master - On the Seventh Day God Created ... Master
Aggressor - Neverending Destiny
Magnus - I Was Watching My Death

even first 5 Cannibal Corpse albums, or early Deicide (+ my favorite Serpents of the Light) ...

Master: Master
Carcass: Symphonies...
Immolation: Dawn...
Unleashed: first 2
Bolt Thrower: War Master
Dismember: Like an everflowing stream
At the Gates: The red in the sky...
Autopsy: Mental funeral
Entombed: Clandestine
Morbid Angel: Abominations
Death: Leprosy

those were always my faves, great memories....

I used to listen to some DM in the early 90s, I may even have some of those CDs still in my collection, have to check

NOCTURNUS: Thresholds, The Key
ATHEIST: all 3, Unquestionable being my favorite
DARK MILLENNIUM: Ashore the Celestial Burden, Diana Rad Peace
EDGE OF SANITY: Purgatory Afterglow
CEMETARY: Black Vanity
PESTILENCE: Testimony of the Ancients, Spheres
PARADISE LOST: Shades of God, Gothic
MORBID ANGEL: Covenant, Blessed are the Sick
CRYSTAL AGE: Far Beyond Divine Horizons
ENTOMBED: Clandestine, Wolverine Blues

I don't listen to a lot of death metal. I don't know why, but I find myself getting bored with most death metal bands these days. There are a few that will always remain favorites to me, though.

Cancer - Death Shall Rise
Obituary - Cause Of Death
Massacre - From Beyond
Bolt Thrower - War Master
Carcass - Heartwork
Suffocation - Effigy Of The Forgotten
Mortification - Scrolls Of The Megilloth
Pestilence - Consuming Impulse
Death - Spiritual Healing
Morgoth - The Eternal Fall / Resurrection Absurd
Crimson Thorn - Purification

Caducity, Antisilence, Merciless Death, Atomic Aggressor, Mortem (Per), Phantasm (US), Phantasm (Rus), Dissection (Ltu), Mortification, Malaphar, Miasma, Cabal (US) Cabal (Ger), Morpheus, Morpheus Decay, Vioggression, Mutilated, Messiah, Contagion (US), Death Vomit (Rus), Disatrous Murmur, D.V.C. (US), Embryonic (Nor), Eulogy (US), Fatal (US), Incubator (Ger), Imperator (Pol), Necropsy (Ger), Nirvana 2002 (Swe), Obscenity (Ger), Old Funeral (Nor), Samhain (Dnk), Suffocation (Nor), Terminal Death (US), Torchure (Ger), Zerber (Rus)...

Ok i looked through the 4 pages and i can't believe that no one has mentioned DISINCARNATE - DREAMS OF THE CARRION KIND!!! Quite possibly the best dm album of the 90's. Some of James Murphy's finest playing is on there. I implore all you dm fans to hunt down DotCK. You won't be disappointed.

And another album that's worthy of note is Art Bleeds by the Italian masters of dm, Gory Blister. Very similar in vein to latter era Death.

Reviving this thread because I need more death metal magic in my live. School me!

My goal is to reach a state of approximately 50-50% AOR-DEATH METAL. (No kidding )

I tend to prefer USDM over Swedish contemporaries. With the regular Dutch/Czech/Polish boosts.
And I prefer, most probably, 2nd Nocturnus + 7" over their 1st.

Buddy Helm had great recommendations.

Recent discoveries: Broken Hope, Oppressor (really love the music, have a thing with the vocals though).

Needless to say that, thus far, this is my favorite topic. Either Brutal, either Awesome, either Fucking I need it from the morning till the night...
