That’s funny, Entombed is considered (and rightfully so) one of the greatest Swedish Death Metal acts ever.
Sorry. From the context of the sentence I realize it looked like I was saying they were thrash, which they’re obviously not. What I was trying to say is that they are one of (if not THE) greatest death bands of all time.
Strapping Young Lad is a guilty pleasure. They have some of the most accessible sound (semi-grind, really) out there and a really good introduction to new listeners, imo.[/quote]

I didn’t want to fuck up the death scene with the bands I was mentioning. Sorry, continue on guys.[/quote]

I’m enjoying Weedeater and Bongzilla at the moment. Acid Bath, Black Sabbath, Mastodon, and Slayer come to mind as quality metal.
I don’t know if anyone counts what Rob Zombie does as “Metal” but I like it and I don’t care what you say. [/quote]

More into Grindcore, ‘Godflesh’ particularly.
Most others of the genre are really cheesy.
oh! oh! I love Godflesh, Streetcleaner \m/
‘Like Rats’ and ‘Spite’ are faves of mine…
I also like almost the entirety of their last real album ‘Hymns’. ‘Voidhead’ particularly.
Is there anything else out there like Godflesh? I know Neurosis is sorta close.[/quote]
I like them, but I don’t think anything isn’t as influential than Street Cleaner and Slavestate. The other albums are really good, but those 2 albums are a new level imo.
I will say that my favorite track from Hymms is - YouTube

Yeah yeah, so sue me, I like some Metalcore.
I bet more than 3 of us would respond to it. It’s keeping the Slipknot/Korn/3 Doors Down/Drowning Pool retards out of there that’s going to be the biggest challenge.
I just can’t consider anything ‘death metal’ that has singing through any more than 4% of the song, emu-chord progression, or 80’s style bullshit riffage (a la King Diamond, sorry…)
Real death metal? As it’s been said, bands like: Behemoth, Cryptopsy, Suffocation, Decapitated, Cannibal Corpse, Cattle Decapitation (vegan pussies…) the Aborted, all that good stuff.
Slayer is a ‘classic’ metal band, much like Metallica and Megadeth. If anyone ever tries to pass any of these bands as death metal, though, they ought to be slain.

I hope that doesn’t mean you think King Diamond sucks…I’d cry if you did.
Slayer is thrash, but they did help influence Death Metal.
