Most Brutal Band on Earth

[Hypothermia]

Meshuggah.


I don't think deathcore is brutal at all. All these breakdowns just make it sound stupid

 

[Loomer]

20 seconds in.

My point exactly!

 

[forelander]

My point exactly!

You know. I know. Everyone else needs to know

 

[HeavyMetal4Ever]

Napalm Death

You Suffer
Seige of Power
Both live the best way to experience them

I can't believe it took 9 pages before someone mentioned Napalm Death. Those guys were brutal back when being brutal was new and unusual.

Rock on!

Napalm Death was NOTHING in terms of sheer heaviness and brutality compared to early Swans. Swans were like this gigantic, slow, churning hate machine. This was filmed before ND had a demo out. 1986.

Holy fucking sludge.

That, was fucking terrible.

You have no idea how much the modern metal scene owes to Swans. No swans, no neurosis, no isis, no cult of luna, and no sludge. Like all boundary stretching bands, of course nearly everybody will hate it. It's not really music for metal fans anyway, because it's not about how well the instruments are played, just about being crushed under heavy emotional weight.

I honestly cannot stand Swaaannnzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I am a big fan of Godflesh, I know all about the "no Swans, no nothing" argument, I still can't be bothered with them. Boring.

Yeah, I get that . I just don't like that style of music. I can definitely see how they're innovators to heaviness in general, particularly with the atmosphere at least, but I couldn't listen to it in a million years.

Yeah, same. To me, honestly, Justin Broadrick is synonymous with early Grind/sludge/heaviness. I mean honestly, a founder of Napalm Death, founder of Godflesh, and now jesu... seriously, everything the man touches turns to extreme gold...

Maybe he'd be interested in joining my band... ...

 

[halo56]

im suprised that Suffocation was not the hands down winner here. Seeing as they pretty much are the measuring stick for the the brutal death metal genre.

I'm just going to go "not a lot" To the frist statement based on what you're saying here.

 

[Despised_0515]

imho

COUGHimpendingdoomCOUGH

oh and I don't know how I didn't see Dying Fetus in the first few pages.

 

[HeavyMetal4Ever]

Can't really dig the Swans, but can't deny their brutality.

Rock on!

 

[DrewsifStalin]

Beneath the massacre.

why's that? I don't think i am being contradictory. Swans aren't the kind of music most metalheads would like, but their influence extends pretty far into modern metal (ie the sludgey, post-metal kinds of bands)
