Anyone else into death metal? To be honest, I only like the old school stuff, but there is a lot of that being produced these days!
I mostly listen to doom and thrash but I recently found Hellhammer which I’ve been digging. Possessed’s 7 Churches album is awesome. Not sure if those are death? Haha
Is there an active metal channel somewhere on the fediverse? I was thinking of creating one if there isn’t.
I get a lot of good recommendations following hashtags on Mastodon. I’m subscribed to #blackmetal and there’s new recordings out at least daily.
New Sammath is glorious.
Those are from the transitional period. Hellhammer, Sodom, Bathory, and Slayer sort of laid the groundwork for death metal; Master and Possessed fleshed it out. By 1985, Sepultura had one version of the finished product, but really Morbid Angel, Massacra, and Deicide finalized the scope of the genre. Great period in history!
Also more into the doomy stuff, but I like a bit of death metal too. I’m not always sure what belongs where genre-wise, but I know some of the stuff I like qualifies.
There’s a great crossover area of death-doom and doom-death. Stuff like Skepticism, Thergothon, Asphyx, Incantation, Cianide, and Derketa come to mind.
There’s a few there I haven’t heard and shall have to check out, thanks!
