There does seem to be something lacking in Death's music, damned if I can explain it, though.ġ96. I have no clue, however, how much Death would appeal to me if, like, say, Pestilence or even Morbid Angel, I'd gotten into them retroactively, having missed them the first time around. It's kind of weird getting closer to #100 while still floating around the 3-4 vote-per-release mark.Īlso, way late but I love those first 3 Death albums, mainly because SBG was one of those gateway albums for me, and Leprosy was one of my first heavily anticipated death metal releases - still remember hearing "Pull the Plug" for the first time on Georgia Tech's metal show WREKAGE ( still running to this day!). I hope we can attract more people to future polls.

Limbonic Art - another favorite of mine when I was a teenager - might have fared better, though I couldn't say as I haven't listened to either group in years. Post Enthroned Darkness Triumphant, their output became more bloated and unimaginative with each new release, so much so that I completely lost interest in them sometime in the mid-00s. I think they took a serious blow in the 90s, with Stian Aarstad plagiarizing Amiga tunes and being fired from the band. I'm not above listening to old-school Dimmu Borgir, however I draw a line in the sand immediately after Death Cult Armageddon. I can listen to Xasthur and immediately sense that Scott is wrought with some measure of pain. I would argue that, for all their entertainment value, the vast majority of these people are incapable of truly baring their souls in their work (or perhaps they are simply unwilling to do so, for fear of being perceived as "weak"). Too many black metal acts are overly preoccupied with their aforementioned "kvlt" image and their instrumental technique. ![]() Although the staple black metal shtick is great fun, the phony diabolism does tend to get a bit old after a while Scott's approach was more genuine, in my opinion, as he endeavored to create something thematically different.something darker and more personal. People rip on him for being too repetitive and "boring", however coming from the noise music camp I can both understand and appreciate his methodology. I really, really like what Scott Connor did under Xasthur. Varg Vikernes with his deliberate "necro-sound" micing, the cassette decks and the cheap digital portastudio devices, etc. I very much like the idea of an individual going at it alone, making music with whatever is at hand - industry standards be damned! For me personally, after so much academic brainwashing, it was liberating to witness how these guys not only found it within themselves to embrace their lo-fi production values but were able to garner such positive feedback as well. I tend to gravitate towards the OMBM artists. ![]()
