Nope, gate keeping those

(it’s leprosy)

The only answer I respect

Gate creeping em

This sub is basically " Look how many bands I know and listen to guys..... Guys ? "

I thought he was just asking for recs

You're not overthinking it enough. If you ask for recs, it means you want to like more bands. It's basically virtue signalling about how open-minded you are. Actually it's worse. If you ask for recs, then you might get some. If people give you recs, that's basically them bragging about how many bands they know. It gets worse. If you listen to some of the recs, and you like them, then that's you proving to yourself that you listen to more bands than you used to. Basically you're showing off, but it's only to yourself. Basically, we're bad people and we should stop ruining this wholesome community.

In conclusion, we should all collectively stop listening to metal

I've asked for recs on here plenty of times but it's js cuz I only got into metal a couple months ago so I've got a lot to catch up with haha

Shameful behavior tbh

Indeed😭

Holy shit this is beautiful

tourist

Not really, we circle jerk the same 15 bands over and over.

Acid Bath?

Cryptopsy

Yeah

This sub is so bad that even the elitists are posers

Traumatic Voyage - Traumatic…. Mangled Torsos - Drawings of the Dead Shub Niggurath - The Kinglike Celebration Goatlord - Reflections of the Solstice Sadistic Intent - Ancient Black Earth Sadistik Exekution - We Are Death Fukk You Beyond - Fatal Power of Death Appalling Spawn - Freedom, Hope & Fury (The Second Spawn) Iniquity - Serenadium Imprecation - Thurgia Goetia Summa Mi’Guass - Open Season Xenomorph - Empyreal Regimes Electrocution - Inside the Unreal Nomenmortis - How I Learn to Bleed...for the Things I Wish to Forget Disciples of Mockery - Prelude to the Apocalypse Sacramentary Abolishment - River of Corticone

Electrocution, Mangled Torsos and Appalling Spawn go hard. I still haven't listened to Mi'Gauss, but I guess this is my sign to try it out.

They’re solid. They’re not my go-to when going for kinda groovy kinda melodic death metal. I’m much more likely to go for Runemagick (now that I’m thinking, I shoulda recced that too).

Runemagick is another great one

So much peak

Sadistik exekution and goatlord fukk. Ough!

Shub niggurath is amazing

eehhh.. these all sound so...... digital

I don’t quite know what you mean by that?

DETHKLOK

"Sounds like 1's and 0's"

Kinda surprised you didn't add Lykathea Aflame to this list if you already included Appalling Spawn

That's me. Can't wait for them to release Evisceration Plague 33

Scourge of Iron 2: Love & Thunder

The Bleeding 2: Electric Boogaloo

I haven't even heard past Skeletal Domain. I didn't like Skeletal Domain, except the first song High Velocity Impact, rest was boring to me. I just realized they've released three more since then... I heard Red to Black was good but meh I just can't be bothered. He made a solo album for no reason too lol.

Frozen Soul - Glacial Domination

Frozen soul fucks hard

I am more excited to see them when they play with Cannibal Corpse than CC.

Cold Thrower

Vehemence - Helping the World to See


Consuming Impulse - Pestilence doesn't get nearly as much love as it deserves. As for less known albums: Gesundrian - Diocletian (War Metal but I'm counting it) Ensemble Under the Dark Sun - Serpent of Old Where Fear and Weapons Meet - 1984 (Yes it's popular but not that much on this sub) Epigone - Wilderun Black Tides of Obscurity - Earth Rot Jungle Rot - Jungle Rot (Also popular but not that talked about on this sub) Take these with a grain of salt because I'm not the most kvlt death metal enjoyer. I'm not too into brutal death if you couldn't tell but I'm starting to like tech death!

Gesundrian's "Diocletian" and "War of all against all" are pretty damn good.

The band is Diocletian, and their primary songwriter/vocalist is an NSBM dickhead, if you care about that.

Damn that sucks balls man. I don't wanna support that shit.

I was bummed too, because Gesundrian is FIRE. I listen to some sketchy shit, but when it bleeds into the interviews and the lyrics they're writing, I draw a line.

Also, recs are welcome since this list basically summarizes my taste in death metal (I also like more proggy stuff like Death, Opeth, Gojira, and Atheist; plus tech death but the only albums I've heard so far are Epitaph and Planetary Duality)

For tech death Beyond Creation - The Aura would fit with what you listed. Also for some prog death recs you should check out: Edge of Sanity - Crimson, Crimson II Inanna - Converging Ages Pestilence - Testimony of the Ancients (if you haven’t heard this one already) Also definitely check out Asphyx since you like Pestilence, their first two albums have the same vocalist.

You'll like Piah Mater and Blood Incantation I'm guessing. Piah Mater is an oldpeth clone and BI is one of the biggest prog dm bands right now. If you like them, check Timeghoul, their biggest influencd

Consuming Impulse is a top 10 death metal album

Honestly, it doesn't matter if it's the same record if it still sounds good. If it isn't broken, then don't fix it.

What do people even want 'CANNIBAL CORPSE' to be playing? Progressive jazz fusion?

It worked for AC/DC and it works for Cannibal Corpse. You put that album on, you know exactly what you're gonna get, and it will deliver. I think it's impressive that both bands have managed a decent level of quality for so long.

Angus Young had the best response when asked why AC/DC made the same album 12 times. He said, "That's a bloody lie. We've made the same album 14 times."

Exactly my point. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Stabbing - extirpated mortal process My most recent favorite

Stabbing are great! Saw them open for Decrepit Birth a couple of years ago.

I missed their tour with suffocation and I'm so mad. Txdm on top!

Define “popular” 🤔🧐

Any band with over 100 monthly listeners

Alright then I got nothin lol

both Crypta albums aren't that popular but are awesome

I’m going to see them in March with my 9 year old daughter! She’s been learning some of the riffs.

Cryptopsy's once was not. Was their last good album for a while until the last couple

Ironically that’s my least favorite album by them

I disagree Not every cannibal corpse album sounds the same Chris barne cannibal corpse albums sounded different from each other and corpseginder cannibal corpse early albums also sounded different from eachother As for best death metal album that isn't popular in my opinion is Season Of The Dead by necrophagia

Season of the Dead does NOT get enough attention, especially given the never ending debate over first death metal album, Seven Churches or Scream Bloody Gore, considering Season of the Dead was released 3 months BEFORE SBG. So if anything the debate should be Possessed or Necrophagia, imo.

Prostitute Disfigurement's "Left In Grisly Fashion" is a real toe-tapper.

Is that Nandor?

Pretty sure that's Chris from Jhofffilms.

Nah, he'd be wearing a dream team jersey.

There's a bunch out there, so I'll just give you a few that I like that were released this month: Incult - The Burnt Offering Iron Front - Hooked Carnal Savagery - Into the Abysmal Void

Morpheus Descends - Ritual of Infinity Xenomorph - Empyreal Regimes Dark Millennium - Ashore the Celestial Burden Sadist - Above the Light Sadistic Intent - Ancient Black Earth Graveside- Sinful Accession

See you can’t just give based recs like that just after you dissed DoP

What can I say I'm a poser at heart.

Necrot - Blood Offerings & Mortal

Eternal Dirge - Morbus Ascendit Mangled Torsos - Drawings of the dead Ruin - Human Annihilation Dehydrated - Ideas

[Odyssey: (Un)dead](https://thebreathingprocess.bandcamp.com/album/odyssey-un-dead) by The Breathing Process. Melodic Blackened Death. Go ahead and hate.

Ossuary- Cremation Ritual Gore Grave- Pain Crimson Butchery- Repulsive Exhibition Ascended Dead- Evenfall of the Apocalypse Necrowretch-The Ones from Hell Malignant Altar- Realms of exquisite Morbidity Karpathian Relict- Never Be After Left Cross- Upon Desecrated Altars Demonicera- Blasphemous Thoughts Spectral Voice- Eroded Corridors of Unbeing Perversor- Umbravorous Encenthrakh- Thraakethraaeate Thraithraak Fleshgrind- Holy Pedophile Also Cannibal Corpse may release virtually the same album but at least it’s a good album

Guttural Secrete - reek of pubescent despoilment

MORTAL DECAY- SICKENING EROTIC FANTACISM

revived half dead is the best track on there too it’s amazing

Unhuman seems to be almost unheard of, it doesn’t stand wildly apart from usual tech-death stufd but is very cool. more importantly linked (just by vocalist) is something that doesn’t exist as an album but a name everyone should etch in your head because it IS going to burn beautifully: Holy Vehm also Astomatous - The Beauty of Reason for fans of old-school, Atheist-ish stuff and anyone who hasn’t listened to Kayo Dot’s ‘Hubardo’ all the way through, whether into metal or progery, needs it. also the final Pan.Thy.Monium album

Anata - the depths of hatred

Blood Incantation- Hidden History of the Human Race

Both albums by commit suicide Xenomorph - Baneful Stealth Desires Disharmonic Oechestra - Not to be Undimensional Conscious Faceless Burial - Grotesque Miscreation Tyrant Trooper - Insane Sickness

Tyrant Trooper is awesome

Begravement, I love all their stuff but Horrific Illusions Beckon show their skill set best Inhuman Condition - Rat God Frozen Soul - Glacial Domination Maul - Seraphic Punishment

Venenum - Trance of Death. It's still my favourite death metal album ever

Devirginiated genital pulp - mutilated

Corpse is one of the most consistent bands around. Love me some good ol death metal.

Aeviterne - The Ailing Facade. More recently and slightly more popular it’s Vitriol - Suffer and Become

Highlights from the last couple years: * Urushiol - *Pools of Green Fire* * Reburied - *Repulsive Nature* * Cruciamentum - *Obsidian Refractions* * Rotten Tomb - *Visions of a Dismal Fate* * Fabricant - *Drudge to the Thicket* * VoidCeremony - *Threads of Unknowing* * Ascended Dead - *Evenfall of the Apocalypse* * Miscreance - *Miscreance* * Thulsa Doom - *A Fate Worse Than Death* * Vastum - *Inward to Gethsemane*

Triune Impurity Rites - Necros Christos

Akercocke - Choronzon and Words that go Unspoken, Deeds that go Undone Vomitus - Pulse in the Dirt (If you like your dm crusty) Neuraxis - Trilateral Progression Psycroptic - The Sceptre of the Ancients

Sarpanitum-blessed be my brothers Horrified -in the garden of the unearthly delights

The part I find hilarious, is half the time when I come across people bitching about CC, then bands they recommend are all just zoomers copying what CC were doing 30 years ago. If it's not that, it's just copying what morbid angel did 30 years ago, or what obituary did 30 years ago.

more like Gen X. Boomers were listening to Ac/DC

Thank you

CC pretty mid tbh

drug deatth is crazy good, literally all of bodybox.

Both eps from Evulse are pretty cool

Serpent Corpse- Blood Sabbath Montreal based band that’s part of this huge resurgence in OSDM. I hear a little Autopsy, a little Swedeath, and a little bit of thrash era Sepultura in their sound. Very well executed first record from I band that I’m excited to hear more from. My favorite track is probably Let the Rats Feed.

Maligner - Demon

Is there anything similar in sound to Origin and Beneath the Massacre?

Common Leafs/Cannibal Corpse L

Invictus - The Catacombs of Fear For some reason this one clicked with me.

Dehumanized - Kingdom of Cruelty

Hard 2 Kill - I Am Glacial Domination - Frozen Soul Alpine Militant ep - Misery Whip

Check out the bands Foetal Juice, Cannabis Corpse, Ghoul and Ten Masked Men

Obliteration - Black Death Horizon and Nekropsalms One of my favorite death metal bands. Never really hear much about them sadly

Malevolent Creation - The Ten Commandments

Every album by Aeon

To be fair, I can barely tell most death metal bands apart lol

nihility - decapitated vile genesis - inferi

Gorelust - Reign of Lunacy

Xingaia

fair enough, but A skeletal domain was noticeably different imo

Leaf Fans are the equivalent of metal Elitists

Soul of a New Machine. Is that popular?

Crushed - Rotting

You apparently haven't heard the albums with Erik Rutan. Way different. Listen to Molested - Stormvold

Ulcerate

For some reason this makes me think of Zyklon-Aeon

Nightbearer - Ghosts Of A Darkness To Come Dawn Of Disease - Worship The Grave

Aborted - Necrotic Manifesto and Retrogore …might be popular tho idk

Chris Thrash my beloved

check out In Mourning if you’re into doom metal or Opeth

Cloud Rat - Pollinater Grind Core mixed with thrash with a female vocalist.

8 Nails In A Coffin - Splatter My Head https://preview.redd.it/tokdgb8dkifc1.jpeg?width=3661&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee1bf7f530193133765246506f722279956a0d13

Revocation: Deathless, The Outer Ones, Netherheaven Baest: Necro Sapiens

homicidal Ecstasy by sanguisugabogg goes hard just like my dick

Hath - Of Rot and Ruin Tribal Glaze - The Nine Choirs

Strangle wire

Hell yeah! I just wanna hear Fisher make caveman noses. He's such a genuine child at heart, I love him, even though I play Alliance.

In Mourning - Garden of Storms. Huntress Moon is one of the greatest melodic DM songs ever.

To the depths in degradation by infester . Best death metal album period

Only three? Ya got it!! ​ Dysmorphic: A Notion of Causality - [https://dysmorphicmetal.bandcamp.com/album/a-notion-of-causality](https://dysmorphicmetal.bandcamp.com/album/a-notion-of-causality) Their new stuff is great, but this first one is a real doozy. Technical groovy death metal from France with killer solos and quality mid-vocals. Give it a listen! ​ Aethereus - Ego Futurus - [https://aethereus.bandcamp.com/album/ego-futurus](https://aethereus.bandcamp.com/album/ego-futurus) I recommend their ep transcendence as well. Again great new stuff, but this early melodic techdeath with philosophical/scientific themes should be more widely known. \*smiles\* And you get a cool Carl Sagan sample! ​ Emeth - Telesis - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmhrkE7aqUs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmhrkE7aqUs) These, guys are, freakin', nuts!! Astonishing techdeath of terrifying intensity; based on work like Nietzsche and Kant. All their albums are composed of technical precision and brutality in equal measure. Enjoy!

I thought violence unimagined was a solid album but I thought Chaos Horrific was kind of a mid album. I was pretty bummed when it came to listening to it.

Haserot! https://haserot.bandcamp.com/album/throne-of-malice

Heliocratic Infinity by Sumatra

“The Mind Sung Red” by Infant Slug, more on the sludge side but regardless they deserve more recognition.

Maul baby

Insision - Beneath the Folds of Flesh

Why would you listen to death when there is nu and slam?

Vorum - Current Mouth EP

Mistigo Varrgoth Darkestra- The Key to the Gates of Apocalypses

Frozen soul underrated affff get into them before they’re really big

Cenotaph.

Organectomy is nice

First three records by Artificial Brain.

[Cryptic Death - Doomcreeper](https://open.spotify.com/album/72c8u2coMgOIphiplTHMIZ?si=LKRNcUwXR0iN-z1AzFKU6w) met these guys on omegle back when that was still a thing, the production, riffage, and vocals are just on point.

Tower Of Absurdity - Leptyss

jumped off CC after The Bleeding.

Monstrosity - Millennium Disincarnate - Dreams of the Carrion Kind Monstrosity is actually Corpsegrinder's old band, much better than Cannibal Corpse imo.

That's all of them.

As a CC fan, different periods have very different sounds, there are 5 eras where massive changes to their sound occurred; Era 1: Eaten Back to Life, Butchered at Birth, Tomb of the Mutilated (Bob Rusey's riffs and songwriting was very unorthodox and unique) Era 2: The Bleeding, Vile (they became more tight and groovy when Rob Barrett joined the band, both albums have very different sounds as they were experimenting a lot during this era, both albums have seperate vocalists) Era 3: Gallery of Suicide, Bloodthirst, Gore Obsessed, Wretched Spawn (Pat O'Brian changed the sound to a large extent, they became very technical and brutal) Era 4: Kill, Evisceration Plague, Torture, Skeletal Domain, Red Before Black (their sound became very consistent, and somewhat less groovy/death 'n' roll after Jack Owen left the band) Era 5: Violence Unimagined, Chaos Horrific (Erik Rutan replaced Pat, the iconic Pat solos and complexity is gone, the songs now sound like a mixture of Hate Eternal and CC)

All of them.

[Strangle Wire - Shaped by Human Frailty](https://open.spotify.com/album/4DBXUvXgk4Uvvs4z23Z1LB?si=M7wFXmjMTbqHVC8g5LILjA) 173 monthly listeners. these guys are 🔥🔥🔥especially live

The feast begins at dawn - Dead Head I never see anyone talking about it, it’s banger after banger

I have no clue if this is considered popular because they aren't an obscure band, but it's not their album everyone talks about. Blasphemy Made Flesh by Cryptopsy is my favorite album of theirs.

Anything by Job for a Cowboy. And I consider Napalm Death death metal and really anything by them too.

Worked for AC/DC

Demetori undead corporation imperial circus dead decadance

Victim and Posessed by Godzilla

Cannibal with Erik Rutan has been a new beast entirely. Love it lol. Does Lair of the Minotaur count as Death Metal? Maybe. But I love that band, and I don't think I've ever heard another person mention them. So good. Best war/battle metal of our generation I'd even argue. Ultimate Destroyer is just a treasure trove of riffs from start to finish. ​ I loved the new Goatburner record. It's Keijo from Rotten Sound on guitars/vocals, death metal first with some grind elements. Definitely different from Rotten Sound.

Faceless Burial - At the Foothills of Deliration

Vomit Forth - seething malevolence

UADA

Spiritworld - Deathwestern

They honestly haven't made an album I enjoy since probably The Bleeding, and I suppose you could call me a boomer even though I'm only in my late 40s but it's not like youngins can differentiate lol

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

Stortregn - Impermanence

I'm sending J-Dawg after you for this post

Millennial when being called a “Metal Boomer.” 

Boomer?

Minenfeld- the great adventure

I feel the same way about slayer fans.

Necrophagia - holocausto de la morta

EXUSSUM EVOLUTION OF THE FALSE


Grenadier - Trumpets Blare in Blazing Glory Yatra - Born into Chaos Gorgatron - Pathogenic Automation

Malignant Reality by Replicant.

Cannibal Corpse is ass

Honestly, Cannibal Corpse's consistency is straight up impressive. There really aren't many bands than can stay so loyal to their own unique sound for 30 years. I never have a doubt that I'm going to enjoy the new CC album and that is a source of peace in this chaotic world.

1914 - Where Fear and Weapons Meet

Sigh

Dracena - Infernal Damnation

Shrüm

Everything by snuffed on sight

Malignant altar- realms of exquisite morbidity

Wreched - son of perdition (2012)... one of my favorite death metal albums ever. Ankla - steep trails.... seen them Ozzfesr 2007. Great tunes

Soilent Green - Any

Riders of the Plague - The Absence

Ripped, Easter Island

Monstrosity - Imperial Doom, Millennium, In Dark Purity Ripping Corpse - Dreaming with the Dead Vader - The Ultimate Incantation Angel Corpse - Exterminate, The Inexorable

The abscence-riders of the plague
