Death Metal List Progress report:
I have made it about a 1/3 of the way through the list and try to give each album about 2-3 listens and this is what i have so far.
I am loving the list overall and I appreciate the recommendations. It is becoming clear the different styles within the genre. The Death discography is a pretty great through line to show how the genre had progressed and its interesting to see how it was also kind of all going at the same time. Its bizarre to see all that over the course of 5-6 years. Oddly enough as much as I love Atheist and latter period Death I am finding myself more drawn to the more standard Death Metal offerings. We will see how it goes with the remainder of the list. Thanks again for all of the recommendations!
Death - Leprosy - Loved it! 9/10 Entombed - Left Hand Path - Music was great, more diverse than standard death, vocals were challenging 8/10 Dismember - Like An Everflowing Stream - Awesome straight forward Death Metal. Definitely see that this would be a classic example 8.5/10 Pestilence - Spheres - Prog Time! More accessible Death/Prog than Athiest, I can see why purists wouldn’t like it…strings? keyboards?? I love how it is gets more and more prog as the album goes on, like it was trying to trick people but I really enjoyed it. 8/10 Morbid Angel - Alters of Madness - Bobby, dats the devil's music! 7.5/10 Cynic - Focus - Very prog, however it seems to be more prog than metal, did not care for the robot voice 6.5/10 Grave - Into the Grave - More straight forward Death Metal. Nice reset button after Cynic, Really starting to get used to the growling vocal style, almost...craving it. 8/10
