@bkce you know that would be a great episode of AA ..a round table discussion on who influenced more musicians..Bathory or Death? Hey Alan wink, wink , nudge, nudge!
@bkce nothing against Bathory at all I luv them and your argument is a great one..for the sake of argument and good friendly discussion I would say that Death influenced more musicians. Death Metal, the more extreme side of Prog Metal and was a important step leading to Black Metal and pushing excellent musicianship into all kinds of metal just to point out a few reasons. So to say they only influenced one type of metal I would have to disagree with that. Both bands are so important to the evolution of our beloved music I honestly can't fault anyone for choosing either side..but I'll stand by my original statement.
I remember buying Leprosy when it came out and having it in my Walkman at school. We were doing a class called audio visual where we broke into groups and made a radio ad over background music. Teacher needed a tape so Leprosy was the backing track for all the ads that day.
Great podcast Sir and especially love the Call from the grave series. It inspires to go back and relisten to the older classic extreme metal bands and rediscover how innovating and inspiring these artists were. Truly ahead of their time.
Great video! Max Phelps is the guy fronting Death To All and he is doing an amazing job. I saw them in Stockholm a few years ago and even if its a tribute-thing it is one of the best gigs I have seen actually. Tomas Haake was there too in the crowd and looked really impressed and happy. :) I saw them again at Copenhell a few weeks ago, its just amazing music and they are very humble and clear about the whole thing being a tribute to Chuck. At Copenhell Max actually stepped back and turned around between the songs to let Steve take the cheers and applause from the crowd and handle the interaction. Really classy.
yep, no doubt he does an amazing job. I remember seeing Thin Lizzy at Hellfest a few years ago, and sure....no Phil Lynott of course, but it was pretty good and really heart warming to hear 'the cowboy song' rolling across the field and people singing along, better to keep the songs alive somehow than let them die entirely. Pun intended!
What can you say? The man is a metal legend, and his vocals were insane. His cover of Painkiller is almost like power death metal. Great episode Alan! Recently discovered this podcast and never listened to Primordial before, so I grabbed a copy of To The Nameless Dead and liked it a lot. Cheers!
Great episode Alan, thank you. The newer documentary was pretty cool too if you happen upon it, "Death to Metal" is the name, on and off different streaming services. Also, I love the Death to All, concept, with so many members, you can rotate them around and get the best of each distinct era
spiritual healing was my first album, bought on cassette. think I still have it but it's knackered iirc. took me a long time to come round to the last few albums, but they're all top notch
Let's not forget "Death Metal" was actually used before Possessed. It was the title of a track on Onslaught's Power From Hell album released Feb 85. The UK wins again!
At risk of coming across as a douche, I take issue with you saying UK, just say England. To hell with whatever the UK is. Onslaught are from England. England is a grand old nation that is not synonymous with the fucking UK. My little rant is now over.
Speaking of modern day tones on death metal records I think Blood Incantation record live in analogue. History of the Hunan Race sounds like they're playing in my house!!
Good point. Immolation and Incantation are both bands with nothing but good albums. Might make for a repetitive podcast. At least Incantation have had more lineup changes than they do albums, I guess that could be something to talk about.
Thanks for the awesome summary/recap and additional insights! One question though: at the end you recommend listening to related references, 1st is Autopsy, but the 2nd I don‘t understand: sounds like „Artificial Reinhard“ / „Pea Gion Rhino“ or something like that? Please let me know!
Imo all Death records are great except The Sound of Perseverance. Not that it is a bad record, on the contrary it is very good, but it is not really a Death record. Was supposed to be a Control Denied album. Besides that, good idea for next Call from the Grave would be Bolt Thrower.
I only like the first 2 albums, never liked anything after those but the first two are truly great, however I actively hate the last couple ones they really dont do anything for me. Death probably wouldn't sound like they did without Possessed, Chuck even went and spent a lot of time with Jeff Beccera back in the day. However if we take lyrics as the definition you could potentially argue that Possessed were more black metal and Death was defining Death metal.
Wait, there was actual controversy over Chuck's sexuality? I was literally a middle schooler on dial-up still getting into the underground, and as far as I recall, it was mostly just weird slander from the neckbeards at ANUS claiming he was gay and died of AIDS... literally all because the inverted cross creeped upwards?
it's not really relevant whatever Chuck's sexuality was, but there was certainly 'rumours'.....no big deal, look into it yourself if it's important to you!
@@AlanAverillNemtheanga Yeah. I remember when I first discovered Death, I listened to all their albums in order on the same day. I was completely blown away and loved them all, especially TSOP (maybe because it was the last idk). With time, my favourite kept shifting but I guess the contrast between Chuck's and Andy's playing is what really gets me on ITP, along with the clarity and elasticity of Steve's bass. But I have to say that lyrically, Symbolic is the one for me. It's as angry and assertive as the others but it is so philosophically charged that I can't help but feel inspired by it.
@@AlanAverillNemtheanga my first foreign festival and what a festival it was. The only time I saw Death, I was only 20 at the time!I remember Kreator went on before Death on the main stage. Emperor, Enslaved and Immortal played the tent too in the same day! ITP was the first album of Death's that I heard and Overactive Imagination is my favourite song by them. Don't know what's my favourite album cos I thing they're all brilliant in their own way. Unbelievable discography! A Megadeth review would be great, so much to talk about. Please excuse my profile as its my 10 year old daughter's and it always reverts to it on RUclips!😟

Death was a band that kept evolving and pushing heavy music into uncharted waters like no other band before or since.

That Chuck impression of him saying "Bitch change your tampon!" left me cackling for a sloid couple of minutes.

Random guy doing vocals was Louie Carrisalez the Devastation drummer at the time or Rotting Corpse.
that was it.....thanks for jogging my memory....but not the Devastation everyone knew and liked,. a different one, right?
@@AlanAverillNemtheanga The Texas Devastation on Combat Records. Not the Illinois band.
If you have time here is a video with the back story of that situation.

Great band. Cheers Alan. I think doing Tom G Warrior's discography or Candlemass next would make for an interesting show.

Great to hear things working this way! now only another 8 albums to get :)
My favorite metal band. Every album is TOP SHELF.

Nice one Alan, just discovered your YT and i'm already Hooked! Keep em coming!
Enjoyed that. Celtic Frost, Rotting Christ episodes would be interesting.

Love Death. First track I heard was Spirit Crusher

Thanks for the video
How about Necrophagia and their unofficial debut recorded in 1986?
Awesome Holy Terror t shirt

I think the best thing Chuck did was jam with Slaughter, but this podcast might convince me otherwise.

I don't know if you're still wondering, but he says "Sean Reinert".

Oh no, ITP is my favourite Death album. I must now engage in some form of hatred towards you.
but still a 9/10.....that's the thing......even an album I like less is still incredible!
