Guest Random Hero Report post Posted November 13, 2003 Today I was totally in the mood for some full-on brutal metal, something to make my ears bleed, no melody or anything just a devastating assault on my ear drums. However I had nothing of the sort. So what is THE most brutal band around? You don't neccesarily have to like them. I just wanna know so next time I'm in such a mood I'll have something.

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 Random Hero, please, please, please, PLEASE tell me that you got that joke and just went along with it. Oh, and...um...shit. I don't listen to any brutal metal, really. The most brutal I get is Stormtroopers of Death, but they're probably nothing compared to some of the shit that guys like Agent listen to. So your best bet is to wait for him or Nevermortal or someone to show up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 To beat Agent to the chase, Nile. Check out some Murder Squad, too. Decent brutal band, with enough riff changes in their works to keep it from being boring. I don't listen to "BRUTAL" music too much, because most of it sounds the same to me. It's usually just blast beats with Drop-D or Drop-C (in some cases Drop-A) guitars and bass while some jackass growls about something that you can't understand. There are a few bands that can do it nice and brutal while being technically proficient (Nile comes to mind, although I only own their first LP, which is a heaping pile of excrement), but most suck at it excruciatingly bad.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 13, 2003 See, the beautiful thing about brutal grind bands is that the songs download quickly, so you can decide if it's good or not. Short music can be a good thing. Try some Gorguts on for size. It's all pretty much the same idea, and none of it's really over 15 seconds long, that I've heard anyway. "Ceramic Godproduct" by Agoraphobic Nosebleed is really abraisive and fast, but not really heavy so much. Mortician is heavy, but not really abraisive and fast so much. "Chainsaw Dismemberment" has a really good sample at the beginning that drops right into this chug riff tuned to G flat, or some such madness. Nile tracks: "Smashing the Antiu" "Howling of The Jinn" "Black Seeds of Vengeance" "The Blessed Dead" "Unas, Slayer of the Gods" (my favorite brutal death song ever, at the moment) Morbid Angel: "He Who Sleeps" "Summoning Redemption" "God of Emptiness" "Blessed are the Sick" "To the Victor the Spoils" "Place of Many Deaths" Nasum: "Inhale/Exhale" "Corrosion" Dying fucking Fetus "Vengeance Unleashed" "Praise the Lord" "Pissing in the Mainstream" "Schematics" (Good "my first brutal death" type song. It eases you in for about thirty seconds.) Also, absolutely anything you can find by Suffocation, or Cryptopsy is guaranteed to rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 I don't really listen to a lot of amelodic "brutal" metal, but here's my selection for some good death/black stuff Morbid Angel (like AoO said, and it's where the "Angel" comes from my name) Obituary In Flames (haven't heard anything after Clayman, but everything before is golden) Opeth Death If Satanism isn't an issue (for the rare Xtian metal fan): Deicide Dimmu Borgir Emperor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 13, 2003 If you can't get past the growling, listen to Acid Bath. They don't growl at all, and literally anyone with an interest in anything heavy should like these guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Random Hero Report post Posted November 13, 2003 I got the Celine Dion joke. Cheers for the recommendations guys, I'll try and download as many of them as I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 If you would like something different from the growl infused death brutality, you can always go with the scream filled black metal slicing. Marduk - Panzer Division Marduk Immortal - At The Heart Of Winter and Sons Of Northern Darkness(YOU NEED THESE) Goatwhore - Any of these guys work will serve you well for a mix of death, grind, black Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas(Essentially perfection within the realm of the 'first wave' of black metal. Chainsaw guitar riffs and vocals that sound like a monk being tortured) Death recommendations: Suffocation - I've only heard one of their albums (Pierced From Within), and it kicked my ass and made me it's bitch. Antaeus - Cut Yourself And Worship Satan(Super raw and blackened) Onward soldier, you'll be scaring Christians and old people soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 what I don't recommendis Napalm Death and Morbid Angel...too much heavy doses from both bands isn't normal. I also recommend Alexisonfire though, pretty good band though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 Napalm Death is fucking godawful, Six Feet Under level cheese. Is alexisonfire really metal? I heard one song and it sounded 'angry alternative' to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2003 Don't forget to enter the aeon of Zyklon, one of the most brutal bands to come out of Norway in a loooong time. Strapping Young Lad isn't brutal, but its heavier than three motherfucks. Townsend's voice and his riffs are like hot chainsaws cutting your through lifebutter. METAL-ooooooooh.....

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 15, 2003 I'm not feeling Devin Townshend. I haven't pinpointed what it is exactly, but I don't like SYL at all, really, and haven't really bothered with his solo stuff yet. I DO however like the bands he works with, like Lamb of God, for example. Napalm Death is, well..Napalm Death. Are we death? Are we thrash? Are we grind? Who knows. The point is, they're so unbelievably unfocused that everything just blends together into a tepid metal stew that isn't exactly offensive, but far, FAR from good.
