Whoa, you think Suffocation killed death metal? I think we have very different views on music ![lol :lol: :lol:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)

Hell I live in Maryland and somehow miss the DF every year. This year I have to go..my bassist is threatening to end my life if I don't.Also, I see we're going to get a chance to enjoy these guys stateside:
MARYLAND DEATHFEST - AMERICA'S BIGGEST METAL PARTY OF THE YEAR
I wish I lived closer to Maryland.![]()
Don't get me wrong, Pierced From Within is a great album, I just don't like that every death metal band since has decided to record their own crappy version of itThey're a bit like Meshuggah in that sense - that whole sound has been run into the ground to the point that I just can't appreciate it like I used to.

Aphotic uses different.
Less flop with thicker gauge.
Although the technique isn't the focus, it's fucking RIDICULOUS. It's by far the most complicated riffing I've ever heard, considering they play it exactly the same live. It's completely impossible to imitate, and fucking slays all the other Tech Death bullshit.Cheers Illogium!
Unfortunately, I know I'd doand waste them so... too thin for me man!
Honestly though, one CD to buy this year is definitely "Swarth", people that might have commented on here "oh, it's not tight blah blah" miss the point. It's an example of feel over technique for sure. The technique is there, but it's not the feckin' point - it's meant to be SICK, twisted fuckin' music - and they do it well. Honestly, get the CD, it'll repulse or convert.
"Blood Oath" is pwned so badly by "Swarth", and this from a long time Suffocation fan. "Effigy..." and "Pierced..." are different things altogether. That's history!

This bands music feels more like some schoenbergian or stravinskian terror than a metal band of any sort.
Everything they've done is pretty similar, just listen to the shit already linked in this thread and either like it or don't![]()
I downloaded a few tunes from Swarth. Definitely more listenable in better quality, but nothing fantastic.
