Actually, As Rapture Comes is a pretty good album. I think it's probably the best of the reunion albums.

Actual true story. Many years ago I was looking to thin out my cd collection prior to moving cross country... I had Entombed LHP in one hand and Dismember LAEFS in the other... I kept the Entombed and sold the Dismember. I remember thinking (at the time) I only need one Swedish death metal with motorcycle guitars in my collection

Like An Everflowing Stream ... eventually I will buy it again.

First question: Did you seriously not have anthing else you could throw away??
Second question: Was it seriously to much trouble to carry a record??

Story sounds like bullshit.

I've met a few stupid people before so I wouldn't be surprised...

Yo! I_Am_Vengeance and Rottenrectum I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish but... Entombed's Left Hand Path is the greatest debut by a Swedish death metal outfit of all time. OF ALL TIME!!!!@111

This lyric is right up there with the best lyrics of all time. ALL TIME!!!1!!



Thereafter followed by the much copied masterpiece guitar solo which begins with the scrape at 5:07 until the gripping end at 6:39. Silence.

The first 25 seconds of Drowned is the best opening riff of all time. ALL TIME!@!@!!111!

Dismember had the nicer cover art but that was not enough to save it from the trade pile. Now I want that Dismember cd again.

I don't even have enough words to describe how stupid that post was. I mean good god the mods could just lock this whole thing now and spare the world...whatever that was supposed to be.

Dismember still rules though.

Take it easy man...I like matrix's enthusiasm. And I totally understand where he's coming from, having traded away several good albums in the past and later wishing I'd thought better of it.

Death Metal is, in my opinion, their tightest album.
It's got a lot of kickass in it.

It was a reference to this 0:46, you noobs.

Exactly why it's so gay! I did overreact before, but still, it was just such a dumb joke. That whole situation was never funny in the first place...but eh, yeah, was a bit over the top in my initial reply.

Yo Empyrael, imma let you finish but Kanye had one of the best random interruptions of all time.
OF ALL TIME!i!!1i!

Just sampled a few songs off the album and was really impressed. Very solid, pummeling stuff.

Thank you, Abominatrix. Anyone who has ever tried to "tidy up" a sprawling mess of a music collection inevitably runs into a keep-or-trade decision.

Can anyone tell me with any certainty whether Joacim Carlsson of Afflicted Convulsion was an early member of Dismember?

i went through their entire discography about 2 weeks ago, amazing band, there was no bad album.

i do not listen to death metal as much as black and thrash because past a handful of bands that i consider the creme of the crop ( including dismember) i find most DM bands boring, i think it is the vocals, this has nothing to do with intolerance for the vocals, but they just do not appeal to me as much as thrash or black vocals.

dismember broke through that for me, i loved their riffs and how just about each album had a exceptionally good instrumental song. i also like how melodic they were, without being overly melodic to the point of being cheesy which many melodeath bands are in my eyes. some melodeath feels so accessable and melodic that i really think it should not be considered DM anymore, and the only think keeping the death part is the vocals. dismember manage to be quite heavy and melodic at the same time, definitely a class act band.

Love these guys! I have 2 of their CD's, and really like their old school death metal style.

LMAO @ this thread.

It's a great album, and surely in any realistic "must own in DM collection" list, but it's not even the best album of its year, let alone the best DM album of all time.

I just checked out a song off of Like an Ever flowing Stream entitled "In Death's Sleep". I'm pretty impressed cause this is a hell of a lot better than all the death metal that I'm used to hearing. Thanks for the recommendation.

EDIT: Just listened to another one called "Deathevocation". Again, pretty damn impressive. They're a bit slower than most death metal but I like their sound-it's kinda doomy.

EDIT:

Shit...I wouldn't have gotten that joke either. You watch MTV music awards? I'm sorry but I don't spend my time watching crap.
