Part 2 is here folks! ruclips.net/video/nPH4wCB_Izk/видео.html
Deicide, Dismember, and Entombed have the strongest debuts in my opinion.
We will be touching on all of those, Forgemate!
@@forgemastermetal hell yes! Looking forward to the video 🤘
What'd you think of the rankings?
@@forgemastermetal I agree for the most part! I would probably not put Cryptopsy so high and move Dismember up perhaps. Other than that it was a very solid ranking. Oh and you forgot Grave's debut 😛
So right. Totally agree.
Honorable mentions from underrated bands I love:
- Cemetary - An evil shade of grey
- Mercyless - Abject offerings
- Brutality - Screams of Anguish
- Necrophobic - The nocturnal silence
- Cancer - To the gory end
Agreed on Deicide. The self titled is so fucking agressive and evil that it scared the shit out of me to the point I couldn´t handle listening to it in the beginning. The track crucifixion is amazing.
Did not know Disembowelment, it sounds amazing, thanks for the advice!
Let us know what you think man!
I absolutely LOVE that Cemetary album, spin the OG vinyl all the time. sheesh I just looked it up on discogs and 500$!? When did this happen
Love me some brutality
Cemetery is just awesome
Brutality should be top tier, not honorable mention. They are still killing it, bless their hearts
Two more underappreciated debuts from the 90s are "Slumber of Sullen Eyes" by Demigod, and Sinister's "Cross the Styx". They're among my favorites
Those will be on Part 2!!
Yes, Sinister had a great first album 💪🏻
Immolation is one of my top 5 death metal bands, and I think Dawn of Possession is hugely important for really kicking off the New York scene, but the leap in musicianship and songwriting on Here In After was enormous. I think that’s where they really found their sound.
Everyone forgets Morpheus Descends. They were pioneers in the genre as well.
@@B166ER- I definitely need to check out their album. I think Dawn of Possession was super influential in part for being the first proper LP from a band in the New York scene.
Fantastic input, Forgemate!
I hate to be THAT ANNOYING GUY, but: you guys should have added Slumber of Sullen Eyes from the Finnish band Demigod to this list! That released back in 1992 and IT'S REALLY GOOD! The debut Darkthrone record is MAD underrated and overlooked!
Never heard it!
@@forgemastermetal GO. DO. IT! Thank me (and Altars of Mattness) later...
Yeah Demigod needs to be heard. Now!
Agreed! That album is a fucking masterpiece!
That album is absolutely S tier
Great review! Appreciate greatly the time and passion you put in to these.
Thank you so much, Forgemate!
Thanks for the vid. Really enjoyed this one. Its going to be a great festive period checking out/revisiting these albums!!!
Be sure to scope our follow up videos!
Awesome list,so many favourites are here. Deicide debut is S-tier for sure. Dear lord,the pure DM essence... And here's few of my '90s greatest DM debuts: Nocturnus-The Key, Massacre-From Beyond, Gorguts-Considered Dead, Massacra- Enjoy the violence, Sinister-Cross the Styx, Nile-Amongst the catacombs of Nephren-Ka. Thanks guys,keep up the good work :)
Plenty more to come!
+1 for Massacra! They had an angriness to them that I don't think the others brought to the table. Only detail: Their debut was Final Holocaust, 1 year before Enjoy the Violence.
I have only listened to one of those, but I’m here eating dinner and watching you guys anyway! Cheers
Hopefully your dinner is awesome!
This makes me realize how much I missed from the 90s (I was into classic/thrashy stuff then). I never dove too deep into the early deathy stuff. Of course, thanks for the expert curated list of albums! Stay awesome.
I hope you check some of this stuff out man!
My favorites in this lists are Deicide, Effigy and Dawn of Possession. Demilich, Cryptopsy and Entombed obviously absolute perfection too
Eyyyyy bro! Hope you’re well! Good to hear from you. 💚
I'll have to go and relisten to the Deicide S/T because when I first heard I thought it was alright, but that was when I hadn't heard a lot of death metal. I'm excited to revisit thanks❤.
I've never watched one of yall's videos, and I really like your format. Keep up the great work
Thanks for tuning in, Forgemate! We have a part 2 on the way for this series.
Anyone who love Daniel Corchado's vocals on that one 1998 Incantation record: do yourself a HUGE favour and check out his band called The Chasm; they are an incredibly underrated death metal band for fans of Blood Incantation, Innana and Timeghoul!
Thanks for the Rec man! Just scoped it! Super gnarly
@@forgemastermetal 🤘🏻✌🏻
Corchado isn’t the vocalist on Onward to Golgotha. He’s only on Diabolical Conquest
@@dan_the_pathmaster7934 Damn it, you're right! *facepalms* Time to change it...
Love The Chasm, as well as Daniel's earlier band Cenotaph.
Wow, this was a nice trip down memory lane for me as these all came out in the tail end of my high school years. Before the internet and when a lot of the time I would try new bands solely based on their cover art. Namely Dan Seagrave. That first Suffocation record was a game changer. One other record that I think should get mentioned is Gotguts Considered Dead. Nice work guys😊
Hi Guys! Awesome charts 📈. Residing in Poland 🇵🇱 I grew up on all of these albums . So glad to see you guys revive the vibe about them. These are milestones of death/black metal from 90’s. ABSOLUTE LEGENDS 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for tuning in, Forgemate! Great to have you on board. Stay tuned for our next episode in this series!
Great list! Of course, albums like Autopsy’s “Severed Survival” doesn’t count either since it came out in 1989. Or Napalm Death’s “Harmony Corruption” (1991) which is not their debut.
I have a few (very) honorary mentions… Carnage “Dark Recollections”, Grave “Into the Grave” and Cancer “To the Gory End”.
Fantastic additions!
@@forgemastermetal 🍻
Wowwwww....the memories you bring back....but you make me feel so old...thank you!
We're all going in one direction on the time line lmao thanks for tuning in, Forgemate.
Great list all classics. To add a few other of my fav debuts from the early 90´s. Pungent Stench / For god you soul... For me your Flesh / 1990, Sinister / Cross the Styx/ 1992, & Disharmonic Orchestra/ Expositionsprophylaxe / 1990.
Fantastic additions!
Wow, this was a trip down memory lane. Was writing for magazines back then and what a great time to do so. The most unbelievable shit just popped up on the radar from out of nowhere. First of all : great list and Entombed definitely nr 1. My additions would be Winter'Into Darkness, Gorefests' Mindloss and Gorguts'Considered Dead. Great video, entertaining as always.
That’s so cool. Must’ve been a rad time to be writing for zines back then. Im a bit embarrassed we left off Gorguts, love that album. Easily A tier here.
Demilich - Nespithe was a little technical but what a ride of riff it is! Nice death metal selections you guys. Thanks a lot. We must never forget to appreciate those monuments of music! hails from Quebec.
That’s true man! Cheers!
Nesphite aside from the vocals is almost orthodox by modern tech death standards though, if you really listen to it. I don’t mean that as knocking on it by any means. It’s a fantastic album.
Demilich is in my top 3 death metal albums. Nobody ever recorded something so original, in my opinion.
I saw them in the last MDF. I love their Finnish sense of humor as well, it totally fits the music!
Ahhh 90s Death Metal, my Bread and Butter, love it so much
Most of these albums, I really enjoy tbh. But if I were to pick my favorites:
Suffocation-Effigy of the Forgotten
Dismember-Like an Everflowing Stream
Demilich-Nespithe
DisEMBOWELMENT-Transcendence into the Peripheral
Cryptopsy-Blasphemy Made Flesh
Nice! Seems like your tops are similar to ours. Cheers bud! Hope you’re well. 💚
Ooh this should be interesting. Deicide, Suffocation, and Dismember are my personal favorites but there's lots of classics from this era.
We are excited for you to watch it!
No Gorguts on a 90’s death metal debut list is insane
You’ll be ok. Read the comments and calm your titties. 🙃💚
I’m so happy to see Soulside Journey on here. It’s definitely got some bolt thrower riffs and I absolute love it. Totally my fav osdm album for it’s combo of blackened themes and lyrics couples with really nuanced drums. Pretty technical yet unpretentious with its tempo switches, quick pauses, and evil atmosphere.
I had to throw it on there.
Damn, you actually have a feel for what’s good. Nailed the S-tier
Much appreciated!
Fun discussion here. I honestly would replace Cryptopsy with Suffocation debut at the very top of the list. Effigy was such a near perfect record and super influential to the modern brutal-technical death metal scene. Besides the omission of Gorguts amazing debut, i would've add Cynic-focus, Monstrosity-Imperial Doom, Sinister-Cross The Styx, Pungent Stench-Been Caught Buttering. All essential and influential IMO. Good job, subscribed.
👌
Welcome! I feel like an idiot leaving off Gorguts, lol. I LOVE that album.
You guys should do a video on the best year of releases for each genre!
That’s an awesome idea!
Great job guys!! Brings me back to 1990, going to Cheapo Records in Minneapolis, buying the Deicide CD and having it scare the shit out of me!😁 Also agree with you about Dan Swano. Along with Scott Burns he is one of the most influential of the early death metal producer/engineers.
Yes! Dan Swano has done nothing but amazing stuff for the direction of extreme music.
I was just listening to The Red in the Sky and Nespithe again the other day and up pops this... playlist..
That old school DM energy is out in the cosmos
I appreciate this video, and I agree with just about every placement...
Except SUFFOCATION. I feel that album spawned the ultra-brutal style of DM and is an S-tier album. But to each their own...
I am a little surprised you didn't include GRAVE (Into the Grave), BENEDICTION (Subconscious Terror), or GORGUTS (Considered Dead). Great list, thanks for sharing!
We can't get to everything, and these are the ones that made an impact on us personally. I'm sure you're familiar with how that goes!
I totally understand!@@forgemastermetal
Immolation on top imo. And I think you missed the likes of Cancer, Benediction and Hypocrisy🤔 Great video!
Yeah? What makes you love them so much to put em on top?
@@forgemastermetal the dark atmosphere and the heavy riffs. I also love the vocals
I was born in 1974,, so I was like 13 in 1987 and 16 at 1990, and was a detah metal head so I remember all of these Albums when they came out. I still remember when Reading magazine reviews of these Albums.... anyway , in my opinon, the 4megalitich albums of the early wawe of genere, that reallly marked the path for many of bands to come, are: Death - Leprosy, Mordib Angel Altars of Madness, Obituary - Slowly we Rot, Endombed - Left hand Path. I know there are Possessed and also Death's debut Scream bloddy gore,bu they still had a foot on thrash metal, not 100% Death Metal like teh 4 menthioned before.
Must’ve been a rad time to grow up during that period!
Killer ranking. I have to disagree about Eaten Back to Life but it’s your tier. I have to check out Broken Hope. Awesome videos guys. Cheers
all good bud! where would you put CC?
@@forgemastermetal a Solid B. It’s has a great death/ thrash vibe to it.
broken hopes best album is repulsive conception 1995 its soooo good
Some I have not seen mentioned yet but is worth checking out:
Thanatos - Emerging from the Netherworld 1991
Massacra - Final Holocaust 1990
Miasma - Changes 1992
Thanks for the groovy additions!
I agree with your whole list, and i now have some more obscure records to check out that i was unaware of. Some of the bands have progressed better than others , notably Immolation which have carved their place in modern death metal with such high quality new material.
Hi, love the video 😊 here are some Honorable mentions:
Xenomorph - Empyreal Regimes
Purtenance - Member of Immortal Damnation
Thanks for those!
Hey guys, great video! But you missed two essential 90's debut albums on your list. Gorguts Considered Dead is pretty awesome, and one of my favorite Death Metal Albums of ALL TIME Morgoth's Cursed! To me, they invented Death Doom, their sound was sooooo ominous. An S tier record if I ever heard one. Cheers!
I feel so dumb for forgetting Gorguts lol. I LOVE that record.
I totally agree on Gorguts! But the earliest Death Doom album that I know is SEMPITERNAL DEATHREIGN "The Spooky Gloom" from 1989, and "Into Darkness" by WINTER was also released before "Cursed".
Disembowelment was so ahead of their time, would love to see lists like this for more doom records!
90s doom debuts would be fun!
I love all them albums and many more. But Disembowelment is just insane. Their musicality almost has this eerie and uneasy feeling. A very good record
Disembowelment changed everything. and they are awesome blokes... BTW.... you know about Inverloch right?
Man most debuts of this era are def S tiers for me: Deicide. Entombed, Malevolent, Gorguts, Suffo, Cynic, Immolation, Hypocrisy, Edge of Sanity, fucking Amorphis! God, amazing classics.
That’s awesome man!
I grew up and love this era of Death Metal. Fave are Cancer, Pestilence, Master, Broken Hope, Resurrection
Revenant, Deicide, Cemetary,, Illdisposed, Mortician, Incarnation and tons of others.
If you get a chance check these gems out.
thanks pal! well prob do a part 2 for mid-late 90s
Man...Illdisposed is soo underrated
@@cerveshredreally one of the best melo-death bands
I had nine of these on cassette back when they first came out. I was either 17 or 18. Once I heard death metal I was forever changed.
It's so cool to hear those stories, Forgemate. Death metal was absolutely a game changer for us, too.
Great review, guys. Of course, each of us has their own taste, but Extreme Deformity - Internal (1993) from Hungary is one of the strongest debut (albeit rudimentary production). They re-released the remastered version in 2011. Vader - The Ultimate Incantation (1992) is a brutal Polish debut. A+!
Oh hell yeah! Vader is a GREAT addition.
So glad to have lived through that time! I was in high school when most of these came out, can vividly remember looking for most of these at the music store in the mall.
Back then it was “woah this cover looks rad, wonder what it sounds like!”
@ForgemasterMetalReviews Yes! That's exactly how I got most of my music, check the cover and band name, then the song titles!
I think Like An Ever Flowing Stream is the best Swedish debut. Most people like Left hand Path. Also, Dismember remained death metal their whole career.
That’s cool man!
Entombed death n' roll was awesome man!!
a dude in his early 30s like: "When Suffocation debut album came out I was like..."
Oh look another dude correcting someone on the internet. Enjoy those internet points.
A dude in his 20’s like “hell yeah new bring me the horizon album out” in his skinny jeans
Cryptopsy, Angel Corpe, Demilich, gorefest.
Nice!
Glad they're all my Infancy Top-Tier Death Metal Albums, Best Ranking Ever Cheers Brothers🍻🥂.
Thank you, Forgemate!
I would expect Cancer to be on the list. Their debut album to the gory end is amazing, though not better than the second album, but still a real banger of a debut album.
This is going to end up being a series
Interesting ranking. I would like to add some more bands: Pungent Stench, Amorphis, Necrophobic, Massacre, Impaler, Baphomet, Grave, Acrostichon, Carnage and Cadaver amongst others. Cheers!
It’s impossible to get to all of them. We’ll probably do a part 2.
@@forgemastermetal Yes. So many bands. A part two would be great. Maybe part three too, haha.
6:52 what song is this video from
Glad to see Malevolent Creation get some love
Love that band.
They deserve a higher place though, Brett Hoffman's vocals were insanely good.
I personally love their later albums way more
Yeah . Berety was really really good . Test in pracę Brett
Malevolent Creation is my favorite from this list. I formed a death metal band around this time and I started writing and playing similar to their style. It was such a major influence on me at that time.
Those riffs are absolutely insane.
This sends me back so hard in my teen years when i discovered the compil "masters of brutality II" ..
Man I miss compilations
Personally, I would bump Soulside Journey on S tier. Incredibly underrated masterpiece.
It’s so good dude. I wish they experimented more with that sound.
Agreed. I was happy to see it included at all, but it's in my top 10 death metal albums so it would be on the top for me.
Just came here to say that Dismember is always S tier. Always. My fave death metal band of all time bar none.
Hell yeah dude
Awesome to see Death Metal Supply getting some love here
He’s doing the best work!
Absolutely 🤘🏻
Had no clue about Disembowelment it blown my mind 🙏🏽👍🏾
Oh BOY!!!
Great list, I would move some of these around but very good ranking nonetheless. Also, it's missing Vader and Gorguts
Missing a lot of bands. We are doing a Part 2 soon!
I had every single one of these debuts on cassette. I was initiated into thrash in 1986 with Megadeth and got deep into these bands. It was a fantastic time to be a metalhead.
Definitely. Was there a store you liked to frequent for your albums?
@@forgemastermetal A store called Peaches and there was another chain music store in a nearby mall of which I don't recall the name of.
I really miss NYDM styles:enter self, regurgitation,entorturement, cerebral haemmorhage, deprecated, malamor, dehumanized, skinless and certainly internal bleeding❤
Great list
Massacra- Enjoy the Violence
1991
Awesome debut album from the French old school death masters. 10/10 for me.
awesome video! I agree with almost all of your rankings, though Incantation would be S-tier for me personally. If you guys do a Part 2, here are some other 90s death metal debuts I'd love to hear you all talk about:
Asphyx - The Rack
Cancer - To the Gory End
Nile - Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka
Aborted - The Purity of Perversion
Gorguts - Considered Dead
Drawn and Quartered - To Kill Is Human
Nocturnus - The Key
Dying Fetus - Purification Through Violence
Grave - Into the Grave
Acheron - Rites of the Black Mass
Krisiun - Black Force Domain
Massacre - From Beyond
Brutality - Screams of Anguish
Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefaction
Shub Niggurath - The Kinglike Celebration (Final Aeon on Earth)
Atheist - Piece of Time
Master - Master
Dark Tranquillity - The Gallery
Absu - Barathrum: V.I.T.R.I.O.L. (they became black/thrash pretty quickly, but this first one is death metal)
Vader - The Ultimate Incantation
Carnage - Dark Recollections
Mortician - Hacked Up for Barbeque
and finally Sinister - Cross the Styx!!!
I would have said Piece of Time too but it was 89.
Wow - that's a lot of material! We'd have to do a whole series of videos to cover all of that.
@@craigroaring so it was! I didn't realize that.
@@forgemastermetal I'd love to see it!
I would have added Grave ‘Into the Grave.’ I feel it is one of the most underrated death metal debuts. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Get ready for it in Part 2!
Super sick albums, if you do a part 2 i reccomend An Anatomy Of The Beast by Intestine Baalism. Essential melodeath imo
Will definitely be doing a part 2.
Cool video!
My favorite album on this list is Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten. I love Suffocation. I saw them live last night! I'm from NYC and saw Frank's last NYC show. In my opinion, Suffocation should have Cannibal Corpse's status. I don't really like Cannibal Corpse. I find them boring. But I respect how albums like Butchered at Birth helped define brutal death metal. The big 3 bands that invented brutal death metal are probably Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, and Suffocation. But it took Cannibal Corpse and Deicide 2 albums before they were really brutal, especially in regards to vocals. Suffocation was brutal right out of the chute. And I just think they're a way better band than Cannibal Corpse.
I think a lot of bands on this list hadn't really found their sound until their 2nd album:
Cannibal Corpse
Deicide
Immolation
At the Gates
Cryptopsy
All of these bands' vocalists found their voices on their band's second album. Another band/vocalist that this is true for is Vader.
At the Gates is the only Swedish death metal band I like. Just not into the Swedish sound at all, old school or new school.
There were 2 bands on this list I was not familiar with: Demilich and Disembowelment. I probably wouldn't like Disembowelment, but I'm gonna check out Demilich.
I can see those points about Suffo. How was Franks last show? Was the energy different? That new record SLAPS!
@@forgemastermetal Yeah, the energy was a bit different. Celebratory. Nostalgic. Great show. They sounded great. Frank made a speech at t he beginning and he started to cry a little bit. Then he stopped himself and said, "There's no crying in death metal. Except Jesus Wept, that's the only time."
Saw them last night in providence. Was a killer show.
Deicide was a solid choice. Its their only album top to bottom I can listen to. I don't want to see Cannibal Corpse on there. I know they are super influencial, but for me they have good songs not albums even then only with George. I didn't get into death metal until after 2004 so that is probably why. Decapitated Organic Hallucinations so freaking good. Now I'm more into Archspire, Ingested (Another Breath), Absent In Body I need more! Thanks for the video, you guys have the best production and knowledge. Have a great weekend.
You too brotha!
Bought everyone of these when they came out. 90s was a good time
That's epic. What was your shop of choice?
@@forgemastermetal Hastings, Hotdogs, blue meanies music and would order through adds in metal manics. But believe it or not Hastings back in the day I could get Pungent stench, Entombed, hell 90% of your list and then they could order anything you wanted. I am a huge king diamond fan and had to order through them almost all of his and mercys stuff. 90s was a good time man.
Love this insight into your experience, Forgemate.
Nocturnus - The Key
Cynic - Focus
Asphyx - The Rack
Nice additions!
I do agree for the most part for sure. I would do mine a little differently considering I was already influenced by Thrash and Death Metal starting around mid 80's starting at age 12 then really got heavy dose of it all starting from late 80's through the 90's in my late teens and early 20's. Haven't stop listening since. I can't name my fav band, album, or song now because I listen to today's bands as much as I listen to when it all first started and in between with all the unnecessary sub-genres. There's so many good/great bands, albums, songs out there
Your perspective is refreshing and awesome. Keep being a rad dude. 🤙
Man, you gotta put Effigy at the top, in 1991, this LP actually broke my record player due to the sheer heaviness and brutality of this absolute monster of a record.
It’s at the top. It’s essential!
I just ordered the cassette reissue from a record shop in AZ this evening. That and PIERCED FROM WITHIN.
The whole cassette has kickass artwork on it, rather than just being black or white or clear plastic like back in the day.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
For cool classic DM releases.
Hearing the drums on the Cryptopsy album described as "stupid" makes so much sense, like who the hell decides to blast THAT fucking fast lmao
hahahaha
Thank you for this video! You took me on a nostalgic trip
Thanks for watching!
Hi guys! I hope and wait for another part of this ranked comp. Well, I have some cool and amazing albums from this era and You guys maybe want to rank the following productions by these bands. For example : The very first full album of Therion
( ... Of Darkness ), Gorefest ( Mindloss ), My all time fav. Sinister ( Cross the Styx ), Konkhra ( Sexual Affective Disorder ), the brilliant Amorphis ( The Karelian Isthmus ), Hypocrisy ( Penetralia ), Atrocity ( Hallucinations ), Vital Remains ( Let Us Pray ), Monstrosity ( Imperial Doom ), Brutality ( Screams of Anguish ), Morta Skuld ( Dying Remains ), another brilliant band Gorguts ( Considered Dead ), the polish legend Vader ( The Ultimate Incantation ), the very old school Massacre ( From Beyond ), Benediction ( Subconscious Terror ), and another british band Cancer ( To the Gory End ), the mighty Morgoth ( Cursed ), another fav. doomy-death band Asphyx ( Embrace the Death ' cause this is the originally first record from 1990 but it came out in 1996 ), Grave ( Into the Grave ), the most sweedish sounding german band Fleshcrawl ( Descend Into the Absurd ), God Dethroned ( The Christhunt ), Necrophobic ( The Nocturnal Silence ), Desultory ( Into Eternity ), Seance ( Fornever Laid to Rest ), the mentally superb Pyrexia ( Sermon of Mockery ), the legendary Pungent Stench ( For God Your Soul ... For Me Your Flesh ), Illdisposed ( Four Depressive Seasons ), if we talk about Cryptopsy we can't forget the another canadian monster Kataklysm ( Sorcery ), Centinex ( Subconscious Lobotomy ), Gutted ( Bleed for Us to Live ), Thanatos ( Emerging From the Netherworlds ) the old school Cianide ( The Dying Truth ), Wombbath ( Internal Caustic Torments ) the very finnish Convulse ( The World Without God ) and also finnish Demigod ( Slumber of Sullen Eyes ), Impetigo ( Ultimo Mondo Cannibale ), Disastrous Murmur ( Rhapsodies in Red ), Nocturnus ( The Key ), Solstice ( Solstice ) the very unique Merciless ( The Awakening ) the phenomenal brazilian Krisiun ( Black Force Domain ), Mortification ( Mortification ), the fantastic Resurrection ( Embalmed Existence ), Anesthesy ( Exaltation of the Eclipse ) the most talented Sentenced ( Shadows of the Past ), Purtenance ( Member of Immortal Damnation ), Cemetary ( An Evil Shade of Grey ), and also Swedish Tiamat ( Sumerian Cry ) and many many more. And I have some superior stuff by numerous one hit bands from this period like Banished ( which formed from the band Baphomet ), Disincarnate, Carnage, Paralysis, Blasphereion, Miasma ( Yes! they make two releases, but damn the debut album is sounds like nothing else what I've ever heard. ), Burial ( from Netherlands ), Desecrator, Dissect, Excruciating Pain, Sickening Gore, Blackthorn, Mortuary from Mexico, Authorize, Morgue, Devoid, Accidental Suicide, After Life, and more and more and more... I know, this is a little slice of the genre, but very important for the real fans.
Thanks for these great additions! we've got a Part 2 and 3 on the horizon!
I had an opportunity to listen to almost all these albums when they came out. I think you did a great job ! For me Incantation and Demilich seems a bit overrated (I really find them boring), but Unleashed - underrated. Would be happy to see on this list also Massacre and Gorefest. (Cynic, yeah, but they are out of scope here:) )
I just read most comments. There are tenths if not hundreds albums that were debuts un early 90ties but most of them are just average. If you guys are doing part 2, add also Nocturnus, Pungent Stench, Sinister, Asphyx and Disastrous Murmur. Peace out
We are doing a part 2 my friend! Cheers!
Nice video. Hard to understand how Phantasm "The Abominable" wasn't included. You can hear it's musical influence on a couple of these choices
We'll be doing another episode.
Broken Hope - Swamped In Gore is amazing and still one of the best releases to this date in my opinion 🤘
What makes it stand out for you??
@@forgemastermetal it's a magical ride of an album with everything you could want from death metal. one of the nastiest records of all time. Sickening vocals, amazing riffs/grooves. Stupid album art(but that's not their fault) heavily influential to Brutal death metal and death bands alike. Pure death metal embodying everything good about the genre. S tier album. Top 5 of all time.
I know you can't rank every 90's Debut here. So I like to give some additions.
Asphyx
Atheist
Benediction
Carnage
Grave
Gorefest
Nocturnus
Hypocrisy
Morgoth
Pungent Stench
I loved that times and soaked in all the upcoming shit.
Greetings from Germany, keep on moshing 🤘🎶🤘
Very true, so hard to narrow down to 10. We should do a part 2.
me before the video: so what, everything's good and great and awesome!?!
me after the video: yeah alright
Lol awesome
Pure Nostalgia. Every single Cover on the screen churns my stomach in a Good way.🤘🏽The scarcity of Death Metal In the early 90’s made it Goddamned Magical. They were not People, they were GODS. Just watched Incantation and Suffocation last Saturday and Ready for Immolation on December🤘🏽
Get ready for part 2!
pretty much agree with everything except Effigy is S tier. it was such a gamechanger. we were still thinking Deicide s/t intensity couldnt be topped at the time. Effigy was a jaw dropper
Its a killer record. Whaddya think of the new one?
@@forgemastermetal a bit overproduced like the last. It’s obviously good compared to a lot of things. Mid by Suffocation standards. Not very memorable.
I love the riffing, but I agree it’s a bit of a “riff salad” record instead of memorable songwriting. Solid though.
This is indeed awesome list and oh boy, those were the days. But, you missed at least three of my faves, Gorefest - "Mindloss", Demigod - "Slumber Of Sullen Eyes" and Grave - "Into The Grave"
I can also mention "a few" other great nineties debut albums alone from Finland and unfortunately some of them are also the only full length release....
Amorphis - "The Karelian Isthmus"
Funebre - "Children Of The Scorn"
Convulse - "World Without God"
Xysma - "Yeah"
Disgrace - "Gray Misery"
Mordicus - "Dances From Left"
Vomiturition - "A Leftover"
Purtenance - "Member Of Immortal Damnation
Adramelech - "Psychostasia"
Thanks for the additions! There's a ton we couldn't get to.
Who else picked up those at deaths door compilations back then? They offered a nice taste of up and coming bands
Compilations are where I discovered a lot of my favorite bands!
Deicide "Deicide" (1990)
Massacre - "From Beyond" (1991)
Exhorder - "Slaughter In The Vatican" (1990) (crossover death/thrash-metal)
...is my personal top 3 debuts these years.! -Btw: 1989-1993 were especially fantastic years for being a death-metal fan. :)
Sick additions!!
90s metal generally has a bad reputation but Deicide set the 90s bar very high. I bought it when it was released & played it so much.
And towards the end of the decade we have the mighty Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka.
Get ready for part 2!
Deicide debut is my all time favorite,but Unleashed where no life dwells was the first death metal album I ever bought on tape when it was just out and I love it,the atmosphere on that album is perfect ...I'd also rate Entombed,At the Gates and Demilich very high on this list...good video actually,it's a good way to rate the stuff rather than your typical 10 to 1 bullshit
Soulside Journey is S-tier for me! Love that one!
where would you put Amorphis' debut Karelian Isthmus?
You'll have to watch the next episode and find out!
What does it mean when an album is recorded digitally? When talking about Broken Hope you said their debut was one of the first recordings done digitally. What’s the difference between an album being recorded analogue and being recorded digitally?
Great question! It's all about the equipment being used to record the album. DIgital equipment contains circuitry only.
@@forgemastermetalohhh
Deicide - deicide and entombed left hand path are kings to me. My pick for the top is deicide though. I love that record. Listen to it regularly
Nice, similar tastes!
SINISTER.
Cross the Styx.
Hot shit, start to finish an absolute hell ride of a banger.
That, and RESSURECTION Embalmed Existance.
My "Go To" albums.
I believe they are debut?
Barring demo's and such...
I’ll have to scope that!
@@forgemastermetal please do, I think you will appreciate it. Amazing.
What is with the great Autopsy?
I guess you can’t include Severed Survival by Autopsy since it came out in ‘89 😢
I still remember when I first found Cryptopsy in the late 90’s on Napster. Those helicopter blast beats and the slap bass in the first song 😂😂😂 it was so hilarious but we kept listening to it because it was so different and brutal
Thanks for sharing that memory! NAPSTER!
Yo y’all need to do a late 90s debut album tier list and show how the genre changed over those ten years. Put in albums like hate eternal’s “conquering the throne”, exhumed’s “gore metal” and even “molesting the decapitated” by devourment. Idk just an idea, I think it’d be tough as fuckkk.
Yeah we’ll def do that at some point
The red in the Sky is ours. I must have listen to this Album a thousand times. My favorite AtG.
Really?! That's a rarity. What makes it your favorite?
@@forgemastermetal I was in school when it was released. I realy like the sound and the unique style of the riffs. Vocals are insanly good too. I love this maniac style screaming.
I agree with Entombed and Deicide tho. The early 90´s were just the Golden Age of Metal.
Some strong release that acompany me since my youth which have a spezial place in my heart.
In the Nightside Eclipse
The Red in the Sky is ours.
Left Hand Path / Clandestine (both the same level to me)
Storm of the Lights Bane
Cause of Death
Deicide
Aske
The astral Sleep
Those of the Unlight
The Secrets of the Black Arts
Vulgar Display of Power
There are more of course..buts those are the onces which pop out in my first thoughts.
And yes, English not native my tounge
Thanks for this great insight, Forgemate!
@@mgkpraesi vulgar display of power is not a death metal album although its a great one
@@vs2799 Realy? Who would have thought.
Speaking of death doom, since the debut also came out in 1993, I wonder how you guys feel about Paramaecium's debut, Exhumed Of The Earth. That record is still so heavy.
We might have to cover that one in part 2 or 3!
Funny as I posted my comment without scrolling thru first, I see a lot of love for considered dead here, and rightfully so!
Definitely. We'll be covering that one in Part 2.
I would flip Cryptopsy and Demilich, simply because None So Vile improved on Blasphemy’s formula and trimmed the fat, whereas nobody has truly managed to replicate Demilich’s sound. Nespithe is in a league of its own.
Otherwise solid ranking.
I hear ya. I think that’s where these ranking are fun. Ben and I don’t dispute each others S tiers. I’m with you though, if it were me Cryptopsy would be at the bottom lol
