I have been pre-occupied with Death all day today, they are brilliant, shame about Chuck though I read about that cancer ordeal a while back.

I've had The Black Dahlia Murder - What a Horrible Night To Have a Curse on repeat for a while, it's awesome. Youtube it.

You sir have taste.

Black Dahlia don't do it for me, not a fan of the vocals.

Prefer something a bit more raw and harsh in my Death Metal.

Edit: Like this.

Yea, I understand the vocals are not your typical death metal style deep stuff, but I like em.

I do like that tho, apart from the cookie monsterness

Saw TBDM couple months back in Brum, 'twas pretty good. Not a fan though.

I don't like Decapitated all that much, but the drummer was excellent, he died in an accident sometime last year though.

These chaps are probably my favourite Death Metal band, although it's not all strictly Death Metal to be honest, nice and varied, anyway they are called Akercocke.

Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl9oM4f1xdQ - Watch that, it is quite funny!

 

[Ascendancy]

The vocals in the band Waking the Cadaver are pretty funky.

Hahaha, Margaret. Gutted. (laughing at your name change, not Chuck's death).

Never know, might be the title of a song on Slayer's next offering

Edit: At least you've reminded me to give my mate his 'Live in L.A.' Dvd back though.

Death is just awesome and it's one of the few death metal bands whose lyrics actually carry some weight and meaning. Nothing overly cryptic or abstract, but an honest reflection of a man's experiences and perceptions of life. Considering the circumstances of his death, Chuck Schulinder's lyrics on the album Human are haunting and beautiful at the same time.
