Do you guys think we will ever get to hear Control Denied's second album? And what did you guys think of The Fragile Art of Existence?
I personally loved that cd. I think that since Chuck was off of vocals he had more time to focus on his guitar roles, and I think it really shows. I know that Shannon was in some sort of surgery, so I guess it would still be a while.
Idk they sound more like thrash to me than death metal. I get kind of iced earth vibes from the song writing style which does sound like riffs strung together into a song. To me it's exactly what I was looking for as a kid. Something harder and darker than metallica but easier to listen to than emperor.Hot take, as someone who got into basically every other DM band BEFORE hearing Death, a lot of their stuff sounds like riffs just one after the other and not really coherent songs; or at least, for the stuff I've heard from them. Lyrically, yeah, it all checks out, but musically I can't really dig them as a whole.
Well, in the 80's and basically pre-Metallica-black-album, AC/DC was mainstream considered metal. But even now, I don't see how any era of Death is anything like thrash. I guess different subgenres were all more similar back then, but no one was listening to early Death and saying, "sounds like Anthrax or Metallica," y'know?They're an old fashioned / transitional death metal band maybe because they started making music around 1984 and stopped in 1998 (I think). A lot has changed since then... I remember bands like AC/DC or Kiss being branded as heavy metal at some point in history
But even then you had bands like Obituary, Possessed, Morbid Angel, Carcass, Cannibal Corpse, etc., each with their particular brand of death metal, and all influenced by whatever existed before them.

Now I'm listening to Symbolic. So far I like every album. This shit slaps.
Wait until you get to the lead in Trapped in a Corner on Individual Thought Patterns.
Then The Philosopher, which I liked better when it was called Within the Mind on Spiritual Healing.
First solo is Andy LaRocque while the tapping part and onward is Chuck. Andy uses the tremolo in a lot of his solos. If you like his style check out his work with King Diamond.Well god damn. And there is no tremolo trickery in that??
