Could you guys recommend me good stuff similar to Suffocation, Skinless, Dying Fetus, Aborted, Internal Bleeding, Eternal Suffering, etc.? I am looking for brutal death metal but with a lot of bass, down-tuned buzzsaw guitars, and more rhythmic and groovy rather than cacophonous and chaotic.

What you mean is: Any brutal death metal album with mid-scooped guitars.

Well, good recommendations can be CBT's Sadomasochismo, but if you seeks for some blast beats too you must see Last Days of Humanity - Hymns of Indigestible Suppuration

Looking for something with a "groove" ala Decency Defied by Cannibal Corpse. thanks in advance!

hey, not sure if what im asking for is really a thing but ive for a while kinda been craving like "Raw Death metal", like how theres a lot of modern black metal with deliberately crunchy and noisy production. I keep trying to listen to 80s death metal demos and too many of them still sound somewhat clean and listenable, which of course is fun but doesnt scratch the itch.
Or is there even outright fusions of Death metal and noise? Some grind is of course too as long as its not outright noisegrind, which i do enjoy but its not what im looking for.
Im basically looking for death metal with a lot of hiss, crunchy distortion and everything being caked in a layer of noise.
The Demo recording for Carcass' symphony of sickness is like the closest ive found, which i do actually prefer to the fully recorded album.

Any new/obscure bands with that Florida OSDM sound? I'll lay out my preferences:

- Late 80s/90s Morrisound Recording-esque sound, production-wise at least. Morbid Angel's Blessed are the Sick, Death's Leprosy, and/or on the off chance someone can find something that sounds like it, I love how unique the production is on Deicide's Serpents of the Light compared to the rest of their discography. Generally, if it sounds like Scott Burns produced it in the 90s I'm probably going to love it.

- Vocals closer to Death's Chuck Schuldiner or Asphyx's Martin van Drunen, but I wouldn't mind something more adjacent to David Vincent, John Tardy, or Glen Benton. I generally prefer death metal vocals on the higher end or otherwise decipherable, as opposed to something of a more brutal effect like Corpsegrinder.

- Thematically, I'm tired of Gore and Satan, something more mystical or mythological in focus like Morbid Angel or Nile would be preferable but I wouldn't mind something thematically vague but abstract like Death's mid-to-later period. You might find the point of caring about themes in death metal silly if all you listen to is Slam where they just go "urgghh grrr" all the time, but personally I find that there's an appeal to how the elements of a song can add up to a package. Something about feeling like an ancient mummy with a rapsy voice is screaming about "Ra, God of the Sun" over a mystical-sounding riff just sounds so much more interesting to me than just mindless groove, and it feels like couldn't think of anything to gargle about other than gore and murder. Gimme Lovecraftian lore, not Cannibal Corpse. I'd prefer my zombies rising from ancient necromantic magic, thank you.

- Also, thematically, for the love of God please no lyrics about sexual assault. I'd take the edgy boring Gore and Satan shit over lyrics about r*pe any day. Or lyrics about hating marginalized people in general, if it shits on women, jewish people or muslims I don't want it. Call me an "SJW" if you want, I just don't want that sort of thing screamed in my ear, I just want a good riff without any of that unnecessary shit. Anti-Christianity stuff is fine though, that stuff doesn't bother me. If you ask why some anti-religious stuff bothers me but anti-Christianity doesn't, I'm not going to elaborate and that discussion would be better in DMs than on this forum.

- Riffing, more similar to Morbid Angel or Death's first two albums (I love all of Death but I'm asking for a specific sound). Nothing too fast or too slow, mid-paced stuff preferable. Nothing prog-sounding like Atheist or later Death, I fucking love that kinda stuff but that's not what I'm looking for right now.

- Pure Death Metal, preferably having nothing to do with Swedish Melodeath or Brutal Death Metal or Slam.

That's all the preferences I can remember at the moment, I'll lay out some lesser known bands or albums for recommendations if anyone's looking for similar stuff, assuming y'all know stuff like Sinister, Nile, Benediction, Darkthrone's death metal debut, or Blood Incantation.

"Todessehnsucht" from Atrocity, "Shadows of the Past" from Sentenced, "Forever Advancing... Legions" from Mithras, "Paramnesia" from Altars, "In the Flesh" from Nader Sadek, "Pharoah of Gods" from Necronomicon, "Blinding the Masses" from Scarab, "Lex Talionis" from Acheron, "Buried in Time" from Mortuary Drape (oddball in their discography, imo), "Angel of the Eastern Gate" and "Sumerian Promises" both from Sijjin, "Edict of the Antichrist Elect" from Perdition Temple, "God of Creation, Death & Afterlife" from Coffin Texts.

Which death metal albums made you say something like "Holy shit this is heavy"? It happened to me when I listened to the Devourment discography for the first time. And one Cannibal Corpse song, named Scourge of Iron.

There was that guy playing Melodic Death maybe with some Tech involved I can't remember. Any help?

I'm describing an EP I've heard. Temp was mid to slow, music purely instrumental, AFAIK he was recording his music alone. The key feature is use of a lot of dissonant melodies, they were dominant through the whole EP. You could even call it atmospheric and melancholic. The EP is present on YouTube and I remember a comment to the effect that the guy can't do wrong. I have a vague impression that he is Swedish, but I am not 100% sure.

hi new here, hopefully right place to post
i am looking for summat similar to fallujah's the flesh prevails that isnt overly compressed/produced. just sort of soaring ethereal prog/techy. lots of blast beats, atmospheric leads but also some syncopated groovier sections. i prefer deep vocals but doesnt have to be.
thanks for reading, i am digging some stuff i found in here already (big up civerous and mortiferum) but i am fairly new to death metal so cant really rec anything yous dont know already!

Discovered this band called Blackgoat yesterday and shit, their second album RULES. If doomy thrashy death metal is your thing, there's no reason for you not to check 'em.
Think of Cianide meets Master meets Swedish death metal or something.

Hello there. I'm looking for bands or albums that sound like the old school Dying Fetus albums(1996 - 2007),
- with pretty raw production, guitars and vocals,
- groovy riffs(e.g. you know which riff from Praise The Lord),
- deadly breakdowns(e.g. Raped On The Altar around 1:50)
- but also fast and technical parts(e.g. Schematics intro Riff).

Similar bands from their page here don't really have these characteristics and I am certain that there are some underground bands that have the sound I am looking for. Many thanks for any help!

More bands like DEMILICH ?

^^ I'll add this Finnish band to that list: Desecresy

It's from 2010 onwards, but it doesn't sound modern at all.

Who can recommend me some newer death metal albums in the vein of the Swe90s?

Does anyone know something in the vein of this https://ironbloodanddeath.bandcamp.com/ ... ge-of-hell ?

I like how 'Swedish' it sounds and the way it combines melody and Death metal is really great. And I really value this atmosphere. I can't even properly communicate it. Some beautiful mixture of darkness... and sadness? Or is it gloom? Or sorrow? These melodies really have something catchy to them.

Hey, this is blackened death metal to me, have you tried the first albums of Belphegor, Behemoth, and Hate (Poland)? Try those if you haven't.

Can someone recommend some death albums (not EPs or demos) with non triggered drums, including clean bass drums? (Lets not get political now, i just like the sound.)
So far, the only ones that i know of are - "Chronic Corpora Infest" and "To the Depths in Degradation".
Please recommend as many as you can.
