Looking for death metal

[Dommak89]

Hi folks,


I'm looking for some new bands to listen to. I'm trying to describe what it is that I want without using too subgenres' describtions

It should be fast death metal á la Behemoth - Evangelion or Hate - Solarflesh. It may be a little melodic such as Black Dahlia Murder or Through the Eyes of the Dead - Malice, yet not really Melodic Death Metal (no In Flames etc.). It may also be a little technical such as Job For A Cowboy - Sun Eater or the Faceless - Autotheism, yet not too technical and without totally ....ed up scales (Beneath the Massacre comes to mind, so none of that).

Or in other words: fast death metal with a lots of blast beats, yet still groovy parts which optionally may have some technical influences.

I hope it's understandable what I'm looking for.

Tell me your suggestions.

Edit #1: I'm not looking to start a genre discussion. If you don't think one of those bands is death metal then I'm sorry, but I'm not looking for an explanation or discussion about that.

Try:

Arsis - We Are The Nightmare

Brutal, hook-laden tech/death. Imo, some of the best out there.

Trust me, give them a chance.

Edit: James Malone & Ryan Knight = Pure Win

No I'm not, but I guess I should give them a listen. Yet it's not what I'm particularly looking for. Thanks though.

Indeed, my friend. They're always worth a mention.

I'm no death metal expert or anything, but this is what popped into my mind reading your post.

 

[mgh]

i'm assuming you have all those classic DM bands such as Morbid Angel, Death etc?

don't miss Nocturnus eiher

for more semi-modern stuff, how about Mithras, Melechesh, Nile, Bloodbath

and then Bolzer, Ulcerate, Pyrrhon

 

[ZXIIIT]

Torture Killer
Cattle Decapitation
The Berzerker

 

[The Mirror]

Quo Vadis

They are imho the best Death Metal band around and the spiritual successor to Death.

Also try to let a song in 6 string standard E tuning sound as heavy and evil as theirs and win a price

Yes I do, at least Morbid Angel and Death are in my library.

Really? Standard E? Sounds sick!

fast, melodic, not too tech, blasts, no "....ed up scales", some groovy parts

seriously, Artificial Brain fits your description down to the bone. if your post was a witness description of a murderer, i'd arrest these guys on the spot.

 

[ArchonicYordi]

Check out Obscura, Beyond Creation, Alterbeast, The Kennedy Veil, A Loathing Reqiuem, Soreption, Spawn Of Possession, Inferi, Gorod, Fallujah, Allegaeon and Augury

But yeah you're right!

Some of those are already in my library, others I will check out. Thanks

 

[Lifestalker]

Arsebreed and Inveracity come to mind.

a brutal classic:

[gunch]

Monstrosity, Suffocation, Gorguts, Mid-era MA, Wretched, Deeds of Flesh, Defeated Sanity, Mithras, Cryptopsy, Iniquity, Ulcerate, Flourishing, etc.

Kind of wide net but there's fun riffs, good melodies, grooves and interesting beats to be found in all of these. If you're not down with atonality maybe give Ulcerate and Flourishing a pass but they're well worth checking out
