My Top 5 Favorite Death Metal Bands.
I'm an old fart so these bands are definitely old school.
With the possible exception of the last band.
There are a lot of very cool and talented Death Metal bands but these 5 are the ones I find going in an out of my favorite 3 list year after year.
1. Morbid Angel ,
First Death Metal band I really got. Covenant grabbed me by the balls and has never let go. I noticed an ad of them playing semi locally a couple days after buying Covenant used and that was it ....hooked for life.
2. Death,
After really getting into MA the hunt was on for more quality, related , extreme material. What do I need to say about Chuck and Company ...Nothing !! Pure Bad Ass !!
3. Autopsy,
Grimy, Brutal , Weird, Vicious, Awesome. Not for the faint of heart. Defintely for me. Such wicked ear candy it's has to be heard to be understood.
4. Hypocrisy,
A killer mix of brutality and melody....the harshness is balanced by swirling hallucinogenic, other dimention like atmosphere. Whether the lyrical focus is on alien abductions , government conspiracy, seeing life through the eyes of a killer or some other dark matter, Hypocrisy never lose sight of the musical elements that make them special. Love this band.
5. Behemoth,
Sumerian Godz return with full on, all out, brutal force. Some of the most awesome extreme music ever laid to tape , IMO. This Blacked Death Metal hybrid is unique enough to be it's own beast forging its own path. Never thought I'd say that blowing horns, Gaberial's or otherwise, works in this kind of music. Killer & highly creative.
Ok, so there are many other worthy Death Metal bands. Let's see your lists .......
