I became a loyal Death fan when they released Scream Bloody Gore in 1987. And let this be proof that Death Metal will survive and be passed down through the generations.
@@49riffinator its pretty cool that you got to even be alive in the same time as a legend like chuck. I kind of always knew death was a band i just never bothered to check them out but then i heard zombie ritual and fell in love
Dude, when you mentioned looking at the special thanks section of the liner notes is exactly where I found so many bands. I’d write them down, mark then off my list and here we are now. Choosing death, the book had a great section in the back that went by year and have checked many of those off too. Cheers dude.
Being older now I was always into Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Sepultura, CoC in my younger teen days. Typical banger kid. Small town SW Ontario(rural af) was terrible for finding new music. These days though, holy shit. So much to discover. Even in the past couple of weeks like after you did that Malevolent Creation cover. Bam! 20 album history to peruse. Y'tube channels like Banger TV, Relapse, Metal Injection, Metal Blade, Nuclear Blast, etc. And people like yourself doing covers of tunes I never knew existed(thanks for that btw) is awesome. Gotta love hearing a killer tune, looking up the band, and finding decades of music to shred through. Cheers.
At the Gates, Bolt Thrower, Malevolent Creation, Pestilence Dying Fetus. I could go on. I, m in my mid to late 40,s. And my taste is getting heavier and darker. Maybe due to my sons taste. But I, m glad to say I got my son into Deicide. Love the videos man.
I am pretty sure the first time I ever saw a video of you playing was the Nile song. The Essential Salts? NGL when that album came out and I saw its promotion I was all WTF? Thinking it was some new age record. Boy was I wrong. That band ended up being one of my all-time favorites.
From ages 12-17 I listened almost exclusively to Death and Thrash metal so I missed a lot of good metal bands outside of those genres. Especially the early metalcore and deathcore stuff from around 2004-07, Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Chimaira, Whitechapel, etc. Although a lot of it were because of other kids into my school that were into them. Thought was "Oh, these bitch emo kids are listening to them they must suck."
Hey dude.Ever heard of Melechech? They toured with Nile a few years ago. They also have that middle east vibe. You can check them out. I'm more of an oldschool-fan when it comes to metal in general, but i thought i'd mention them. :) I never saw Skid Row with the original members of the debut album. When we were checking the gigs-to-come-list at our local vinyl dealer (No internet back then. Awesome. Meet a friend, buy some beer and drive to the recordstore to check who's on tour) we chose to visit another band. Because "Skid Row are still so young, they will be around a few more decades." Oh boy... ^^
A bit off topic, but it's unbelievable how the same thing happens even in the era of internet. I mean, I was born in the internet era and still do the same mistake of "not paying due attention to band X and then later on loving the band". Cannibal Corpse was one of those bands that I didn't like that much in the beginning, but after years I fall in love with. Opeth (growl era) was another one. Thanks for sharing!
Funny you mention Nile.. my friend Pete played on Amongst the catacombs. He even did some backing vocals on a track we put out last year. You may also check out Hate Doctrine.. I think you’ll dig em. My late to the party band was malevolent. Haha. I feel stupid for passing them up.
Duuude, I was really surprised when you mentioned Bolt Thrower, their albums kick major ass, their riffs are fucking awesome, Nile instantly clicked for me, but I really dig the albums from Annihilation til What Should Not Be Unearthed, the first 3 hardly I can get into them, I like a few songs from those 3 records
Definitely Bolt Thrower for me too. I couldnt believe that I passed them up for so many years. My other four would be Obituary, Repulsion, Pungent Stench, and Vader....... my excuse is that at the time I discovered death metal, I quickly tried to find the most brutal sounding version of it. So asked some dudes who they thought were the heaviest death metal band, and one of them said “Brodequin”. So Brodequin became my favorite band by far. From there, I was listening to bands like Disgorge (usa), Putridity, Drain of Impurity, Pustulated, Devourment, etc. exclusively up until I discovered gore grind bands with pitch-shifted vocals, like Rompeprop, Last Days of Humanity, and so on. I didnt give the bands in my list the time of day unfortunately. But I definitely do now. And I still listen to all of the other bands I mentioned too. Basically if its death, grind, thrash, black, or even crust punk, I’ll listen to it..... so long as theyre not a band full of chode posers 🤣
I'm 43 and can totally relate kevin, fore sure bro! Metal, metal, metal.. 1st album I ever bought was south of heaven from slayer! On cassette! I also have been playing guitar since the age of 12. Favorite band is GODFLESH.. RECORDED MY 1ST CD When I was 15 my band was called soulcloser .
I was pretty Late coming Into the Early 80s Mid 90s - 2000s Metal Scene! In 2000, I was only 3-4 Years of Age lol, and round about that Era, I was In the time where I played PS2 and PS1 Games Nonstop haha. Until I hit round about 2007, Metal Music Instantly Grew on me by the feel and the Energy I got from the Raw Bass blasting through the speakers!! ;D
I got into Nile and Bolt Thrower in 2005 when Nile released Annihilation Of The Wicked and Bolt Thrower released Those Once Loyal. I'm lucky I have seen both live. Demolition Hammer is one of my favourites and I got into them a little bit later.
its definitely bolt thrower for i remember checking them out because of ola and i probably wasnt ready for death metal like that at the time, but after time went on and i got into heavier music, the killchain came up in my playlist one day and i thought "Goddamn this goes so hard" so i looked at my phone to see what was playing and saw it was bolt thrower so i checked them out and theyre one of my absolute favourite bands now. Fucking Perfect Discography.
On the back of being late to the party for bolt thrower...check out the band's Memoriam ( ex bolt thrower and benediction) And Darkened ( ex B.T. and grave) They do not disappoint
I didn't have many due to me understanding artwork of bands. But the one that I fucked up on was Anaal Nathrakh and Dark Funeral, both really solid bands.
i remember when record stores started having the kiosk where you could take the cd over, scan it, and listen to 30 second snippets of each song. That started popping up in the late 90's. Saved me so much guess work.
Dude, I missed sooo many bands. When I started playing guitar (1990), I was hooked on the early Metallica albums. I had a few other bands from metal to more rock (yes, I was kinda in the hair bands too, but don't tell anyone!). But for whatever reason I didn't venture too far from that small circle.
For me the best death metal comes from less known bands; Kronos, Caedere, Usipian, Corpus Mortale, Mangled, Fleshtized, Centvrian, Heaving Earth, Embedded, Sufferage, Creeping Fear, Enthrallment, Exmortem, Offending, Resurrected, Scordatura, Soreption, Serocs.. to name a few. Also the bands from Poland are insanely good; Betrayer, Gortal, Cinis, Calm Hatchery, Armagedon, Deathstorm, Masachist, Dies Irae, Trauma, Symbolical, Dissenter, Lost Soul, Crionics...
Same story for me with Fleshcrawl, my brother had that cd when it came out and later when i really got into music i gave it my prejudice for some reason, finally a few years ago i gave it a listen and it is bad ass. Also, devine empire, i saw them on that same tour in corona, ca. Still have the show flyer 👍
get this.... I live in Topeka KS and this bar i used to go to, a bunch of guys that worked there were in a band. I never really paid any attention to who they were or whatever. i was into death metal metal but for some reason never paid any attention to bands from topeka. i mean its topeka right? well turns out those guys just happened to be the guys from Origin. I live in the town origin is from and never saw them play live or even really heard of them until they were big. hows that for missing out!
My recommendations man:1°Gorguts (absolute innovative man crazy stuff more progressive but Dissonant,ugly not clean shit here!!!).2°Decapitated (seriously the first 4 albums are absolute Classics!!!).3°Lost Soul(another best Poland Sport!!!!Sorry decapitated but really unbelievable man check them out!!).4°Voidspawn -new band just have an EP but awesome !!!.5°Ulcerate (Greatest extreme metal band for me absolute essential listening man!!!)....
kinda made me laugh and made me sad at the same time that you overlooked bolt thrower, like lol who does such a thing? and at the same time dude, you missed the best death metal band to ever come out of england. I'm so glad I saw them on the those once loyal tour and I even got a picture with Jo bench while the rest of the guys in the band where laughing because I managed to snap a picture of her, she didn't like to take pictures they told me. FOR THE EMPEROOOOOOOR!!!!
Yep I've passed up a number of great dm bands back then. I'll probably get a part 2 up on this topic, because there's a couple more heavy hitters on the list lol
I got into metal in the 80s started with my moms records so my 1st stuff was ozzy,quiet riot,black sabbath etc than i moved on to thrash metal starting with metallica ,slayer and exodus etc. My 1st death metal cassette was possessed:seven churches later on i got into bolt thrower ,obituary ,cannibal corpse etc. I got into deicide because i saw once upon the cross in a record store and the cover art was censored so i thought this has to be good and it was. My biggest regret is i never got into death until after chuck died seen death tapes back in 1989 and for whatever reason i just never picked 1 up now death is 1 of my favorite bands.
I'm not the biggest DM fan. I'm extremely picky about the genre and I usually get blasted for my death metal tastes (not that I care). Anyway, there are quite a few bands that I either was "late to the party" for or, worse yet, I bought an album by a particular band and dismissed the band outright based on one album. 5. Death - bought _Leprosy_ back in the 80's. Hated it. Totally snubbed the band until I saw the video for _The Philosopher_ and fell in love with it. Still am not a fan of _Leprosy_ and _Scream Bloody Gore_ but a big fan of everything else Chuck and company did. 4. Suffocation - didn't jump on board until my mid to late 20's. Maybe early thirties... whenever _Souls To Deny_ came out... 3. Carcass - picked up _Heartwork_ after reading the rave reviews and hearing my friends talk about like it was better than sliced bread. Still not a fan of their early stuff, but I love _Heartwork_ and _Swansong_ (yup, I'm that guy; _Swansong_ is awesome) 2. Cathedral - bought _The Ethereal Mirror_ when it first was released and for reasons that I cannot explain, I hated it. Listened to it once and shelved it for years. One day I dug it out for giggles and promptly punched myself in a tender region for dismissing these guys. Stupid. Just stupid. 1. I don't want to admit this one... but here goes... Motörhead. I hated Lemmy's voice as a kid, thought they sounded off-key and just refused to listen to them. _Ace of Spades_ actually bugged me. I couldn't stand that song. Bought _Overnight Sensation_ in '97 after reading a glowing review from my favorite metal critic (Martin Popoff) and took a chance. Before I convinced myself to buy the album, I thought Marty was crazy but he raved about Motörhead and so did my friends. So, I bought it and promptly ate my words. Now I own their entire studio catalog. I'm sorry Lemmy. I was an idiot. You are a fucking god. Honorable mentions: Emperor, Nasty Savage, Exhorder, Bathory, At The Gates
Nathan it’s too bad job for a cowboy isn’t a band anymore they were my shit and for a while was just waiting for a new album then heard from a friend like weeks ago saying oh yeah they burn their bus saying they won’t ever go on tour anymore so haha
"..yeah I went through a time where I was buying some nu-metal..." ahhaa, I was the same way. lasted for about 3 months and that I was like "wha the hell am I doing with this?"
demolition hammer is one of the most baddest motherfuckerest bands ever, discovered them shortly after nocturnus. one band i discovered late was misery index. electric wizard, windhand, even black sabbath. actually i was listenin to cryptopsy first. got into cattle decapitation when it became cattle decaffeination. sad.
Death Carcass Nile Necrophagist Jungle Rot Cryptopsy Psycroptic Dying Fetus Malevolent Creation Bolt Thrower Torture Killer Severe Torture Vomitory ... Death metal is the best shit in the world!
At the Gates, Death, Carcass, Dying Fetus, Bloodbath
I ignored Bolt Thrower for years also based on their logo alone... I was fucking wrong to do so! Bolt Thrower is the shit bro!!! Love those guys
So I wasn't the only chump to do so lol!
Yeah, I was an idiot. I’ve learned to never judge a band by their logo
For me it was Death, I wasn't even alive in the same time as Chuck.
Same bro. I would so love to talk with him
I became a loyal Death fan when they released Scream Bloody Gore in 1987. And let this be proof that Death Metal will survive and be passed down through the generations.
I barely turned 5 when he died. How did you guys discover them? I got into Obscura and then Death cause they were one of their main influences.
@@49riffinator its pretty cool that you got to even be alive in the same time as a legend like chuck. I kind of always knew death was a band i just never bothered to check them out but then i heard zombie ritual and fell in love

I soooo enjoyed watching this!!!!! Man you were spot on with some of your pics. Divine Empire was brutal!!!!!!!
Nile are one of the best i think out of all just goes well with egypt and evil death metal man seen em live so sick also cannibal corpse baby
Discovered panopticon a few months ago haven’t stopped listening to them since
Duuude, I was really surprised when you mentioned Bolt Thrower, their albums kick major ass, their riffs are fucking awesome, Nile instantly clicked for me, but I really dig the albums from Annihilation til What Should Not Be Unearthed, the first 3 hardly I can get into them, I like a few songs from those 3 records
cryptopsy, necrophagia, autopsy, nile, and cattle decapitation.... If you haven't listened to any of them, do yourself a favor and check them all out
Dawn of demise
Fuck yea nile arw my fav also behemoth cannibal corpse malevolent creation slayer
Definitely Bolt Thrower for me too. I couldnt believe that I passed them up for so many years.

yeah Bolthrower for me. for sure. what the hell was i thinking...
The fucking story you gave about how you found bands is exactly the one my uncle told me. Hell, wish it was like that
I would say At the Gates, Edge of Sanity, and Bloodbath. I can’t believe I didn’t hear of Bloodbath sooner.

Have you heard of Liturgy ever? Super unique approach to deathmetal
You should do more videos of death metal recommendations!
Check out Demonic Ressurection death metal band from India and also Demonstealer who is the front man of Demonic Ressurection
Necrophagist. Although when I started listening to them they were still active lol.

Soreption's album Deterioration of Minds is a hidden gem.

amongst the catacombs of nephren-ka was my first d.m. album., Bought it in 7th grade because i had just watched The Mummy
T_rbo It’s still one of the most brutal and bone crushing records I’ve ever heard. Old Nile is my favorite.
Same story for me with Fleshcrawl, my brother had that cd when it came out and later when i really got into music i gave it my prejudice for some reason, finally a few years ago i gave it a listen and it is bad ass.

Country music is the best !!
That Necrophobic shirt is awesome, love that record. RIP Blackmoon
Anomalous-Ohmnivalent is one i caught a few years back. Ungoddamnbelivable! Only thing that comes close is Soreption.

Check out the new record from Vltimas - Something Wicked Marches In
David Vincent sounds brutal as fuck. Songs are fun to play on guitar too.
I just want the Dethklok story to be tied up.. 😁
Bands usually change members a couple time before they establish their sound.
I can imagine being picky back in the day when you couldn't just use a search engine to find out what a band sounded like.
Just saw an article regarding the death of FleshCrawl's vocalist
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane

Super under rated band called "morbid saint" they are awsome
FETID from Seattle best band in the scene now
Don’t know what the likelihood you’ll see this is but check out this band from my arena Coffinrot, they’re some amazing death metal
Damn those were the good days, we had to take a risk and hope they were bad ass
Bloodshot dawn!!
