my favorite Death Metal Bands Grave - You'll Never see Morbid Angel - Gateways to Annihilation Obituary - Cause of Death Cannibal Corpse - Torture Asphyx - Last One on Earth Deicide - Once upon the Cross Death - Leprosy
I remember hearing Dead by Dawn for the first time and the chorus is absolutely terrifying to hear with Glen's vocal delivery. Its still my favorite Deicide song to this day. Great list dude! I would recommend Asphyx to the list as well.
Nice to see a new video, welcome back! Some other late 80s/early 90s recommendations: Benediction - Subconscious Terror 1990, Grand Leveller 1991 Pestilence - Consuming Impulse 1989, Testimony of the Ancients 1991 Therion - Of Darkness 1991 Desecrator - Subconscious Release 1991 Morgoth - Cursed 1991 Death - Leprosy 1988, Spiritual Healing 1990, Human 1991 Bolt Thrower - In Battle There Is No Law 1988, Realm of Chaos 1989 Mortification - S/T 1991 Atheist - Piece of Time 1989, Unquestionable Presence 1991 Master - S/T 1990 I know this is more deathrash, but... Sepultura - Beneath the Remains 1989, Arise 1991 The list goes on, but I think Sepultura is also a good start.
My intro to death metal. Around 92, 93ish. Death - spiritual healing,, Entombed - left hand path. Bolt thrower - cenotaph was only song I remember hearing from them. Next Obituary, Cancer, Brutality...was hooked. I'm still exploring the old - school! Great thing about this music 🤘
Awesome list of classics... I would add: At The Gates - slaugher of the soul Massacre - from beyond Nocturnus - The Key Desecrator - subconscious release
My gate way into death metal was Cannibal Corpse and Eaten Back to Life. But i didnt here it till like 96. I was 16 at the time and it warped my fragile little mind! Been a huge death metal fan ever since.
For trying to ease people in, I like Spiritual Healing, Those Once Loyal, Slaughter of the Soul, and Unhallowed by TBDM. But your list got all the real deal classics, and a good spread of styles. Great shit as always.
Just quality here. For me Pestilence - Malleus Maleficarum and Consuming Impulse, Atheist - Piece Of Time and At The Gates - Gardens Of Grief, are releases that I would add to your list here. Plus many more. Cheers.
None so vile by cryptopsy will always be up there with one of my favourite death metal albums and I hugely recommend for people wanting to hear more brutal death metal
Great video and all great albums. A couple albums that I would include is Incantation Onward to Golgatha and Immolation Dawn of Possession.actually Incantations first couple albums. But still great video man\m/
Thanks! I’ve listened to blackmetal and a little thrash for a while now bcs of my bestie but this is super helpful to get into death metal. Love this chanbel.💅🌸🍓
Nothing new to me here but all the releases you showed are essential stuff for sure! Great list! Autopsy and Gorguts are two of my favorite bands ever in any genre! Diecide once upon a cross and Obituary cause of death was my entry pointsinto death metal. I initially thought Deicide was so over the top it was funny but it grew on me and I eventually just loved the album and was playing it more then the punk I was into at the time.
As a Dane, I almost always reccomend Undergang, sick and Heavy yet quite easily digestible (to me at least, my musical tasebuds have just like everyone here been destroyed haha). And since they are locals people get the opportunity to catch Them live
Really killer video, you had some very strong recommendations to get people started! My list Cannibal corpse-tomb of the mutilated Carcass-Heartwork Death-The sound of perseverance Dethklok-Dethalbum Bolt Thrower- War master
Love this video, all of these albums applied to me when I was getting into death metal around 15/16. I would also throw in Like An Everflowing Stream by Dismember, Harmony Corruption by Napalm Death, Consuming Impulse by Pestilence and Dawn of Possession by Immolation
1992 or 93 high school I believe Deicide Legion was mi introduction into death metal and Glen impressed but scared the shit out of me. Obviously after that came Cannibal corpse morbid angel etc. I wish you made more videos your knowledge of D.M is awesome!👿☠️🤘💀💀
My gateway for pure death Metal was the Fathomless Mastery by bloodbath. I was listening to Opeth a bit and still love them, but the more classic death metal they made on fathomless and unblessing the purity are great renditions of the old school by giving it new tires. Don’t forget their chainsaw guitar tones. I just loved that from the first moment.
Napalm Death is good recommendation, and Terrorizer - World Downfall, those bands were the same to me back then as "death metal", along with more brutal Thrash like Sadus, Numskull, etc. and also earlier Thrash of course. As a starting point for Death Metal, you can't really exclude Thrash Metal anyways.
The first death metal album i ever listened to was cannibal corpse galery of suicide. Also six feet under haunted and commandment was one of the earliest records I listened to. Here are some more death metal bands I enjoy Cryptopsy: of course with lord worm Vitriol Hate Eternal Hour of penance Gorguts Malevolent creation Immolation
Cool! It's a good selection of albums to get into the genre, perhaps I would recommend Suffocation for listeners with more experience in the genre, but I agree that to get to know a genre the best thing is to start with the classics that created and invented it
An album that will never cease to draw non-death metal fans and non-metal fans in with its unbridled catchiness is Swarm! by Torture Killer. That is always the first example that pops into my mind when thinking about death metal albums to bring listeners in. It may be nauseatingly trendy to dismiss Chris Barnes's entire existence. But, hey! Metal isn't supposed to be about trends. It's supposed to be a haven for independent thought, or so I always thought. If people would actually explore Barnes's career, they would realize the absolute gems within it. I would even argue that a mid-period Six Feet Under album such as 13 is their best work. Although the band was mentioned near the end of the video, I would also immediately recommend Deicide - Serpents of the Light. Again, catchiness galore. The lyrics have massive intelligibility, are well-written and even humorous at times, the vocal patterns are infectious, the riffs are instantly memorable, ah! What an album! The last album I will mention is Acheron - Anti-god, Anti-christ. This is a perfect example of quality over quantity considering its length. Every section of every song is instantly memorable, though the Peter H. Gilmore intros in between songs may prompt listeners to reach for the Skip button out of disinterest. Nevertheless, it is a masterpiece of mid '90s death metal with the catchiness of first wave black metal. I often wonder if I have a bias towards those albums since I heard them so early on in my death metal "journey" and I had such fresh ears, but in a sense, it makes them that much more justifiable as picks since they attracted me so much when I was young and not fully of the massive scope of death metal.
I'm almost certain if you recommend any of those records to the average Joe there going to think you're a psychopath. Definitely on everybody's Top 20 DeathMetal Album list. Here's a couple I recommend that are outside the metal box... Cheers!! Carnage Asphxy-First 2 Malevolent Creation- First 2 Crytopsy-First 2
Hey man!Nice to see you again,we missed your videos...love those nineties and end eighties death metal....Are all of them first press,if they are not,WTF whi cares?you LOVE and support good músic....Deceased lurk of the corpse,corpus rottus,mortem,Hetsheads,morgue,demolition hammer,nocturnus,sickening gore....Greetings from Spain 🤘😉
As Far As I Remember, The first DM Song I ever genuinely Liked Was Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague. I loved the song but I wasnt Into the genre as a whole which I feel was weird because I had always been Into Music with harsh vocals Like Deathcore🤣🤣. Now I personally Prefer The More Brutal Stuff, But The Classic's still Hold a place in my heart🤘
Massacre From Beyond because it bridges Thrash/Death or a slower Morbid Angel like Blessed/Covenant for their more accessible tracks.Reel them in slowly and don't bludgeon them.It is a civil duty to corrupt souls to the dark side.😈
Most people have an issue with the vocals when it comes to death metal so recommending them OSDM like Death, CC or Obituary is just going to put them off. Listen to Tiamat - Clouds and go from there
Hey, gotta ask, where did you get your record shelves? I really like them; I just have some Walmart shelves, and they are starting to bend. Need something sturdier. Also, nice Rottrevore shirt! Cheers from CT!
Question: Have you heard the Cannibal Corpse Vile album with Barnes doing the vocals? I think it came out as a bootleg LP. Since I know you like 'The Bleeding' and SFU's 'Haunted', I thought a Barne's version of 'Vile' would be up your alley!
Welcome back. My gateways were Morbid Angel "Covenant", Cannibal Corpse "Tomb Of The Mutilated", Six Feet Under "Haunted", Obituary "World Demise" and Suffocation "Pierced From Within".
Wish you did more videos, dude. I enjoy your content more than a lot of the more popular metal channels.

Awesome list man! All that you listed, was pretty much what I started with when I first got into death metal.

@@iamnotanumber100 Early (mid 80s) sepultura & kreator really gets me into Death Metal
This was needed, I got into extreme metal in recent years and death metal is so vast that it's fucking hard to start listening.
Great list man glad to see you post a new video
My intro to death metal. Around 92, 93ish. Death - spiritual healing,, Entombed - left hand path. Bolt thrower - cenotaph was only song I remember hearing from them. Next Obituary, Cancer, Brutality...was hooked. I'm still exploring the old - school! Great thing about this music 🤘
Awesome list of classics... I would add:
At The Gates - slaugher of the soul
Massacre - from beyond
Nocturnus - The Key
Desecrator - subconscious release
"Opeth - Deliverance" was my intro. After getting into that, I dove right into the classics.
My gate way into death metal was Cannibal Corpse and Eaten Back to Life. But i didnt here it till like 96. I was 16 at the time and it warped my fragile little mind! Been a huge death metal fan ever since.
Glad you’re still posting stuff man. One of my favorite channels and hope you know you got support out here. Cheers from the AZ desert.
Yo ive known brandon for so long hes one of my favorite youtubers so informative and entertaining.
Pestilence - Consuming Impulse
For trying to ease people in, I like Spiritual Healing, Those Once Loyal, Slaughter of the Soul, and Unhallowed by TBDM. But your list got all the real deal classics, and a good spread of styles. Great shit as always.
Just quality here. For me Pestilence - Malleus Maleficarum and Consuming Impulse, Atheist - Piece Of Time and At The Gates - Gardens Of Grief, are releases that I would add to your list here. Plus many more. Cheers.
Wish you did more videos
Great video, i hope ur doing well! Personally i would recommend some early Dutch death metal, Sinister, Asphyx, Pestilence
Six Feet Under is one of my favorite death metal bands.
None so vile by cryptopsy will always be up there with one of my favourite death metal albums and I hugely recommend for people wanting to hear more brutal death metal
Great video and all great albums. A couple albums that I would include is Incantation Onward to Golgatha and Immolation Dawn of Possession.actually Incantations first couple albums. But still great video man\m/

Agreed.
Filthy, sick and heavy yet very accessible and very FUN.
Really killer video, you had some very strong recommendations to get people started!
My list
Cannibal corpse-tomb of the mutilated
Carcass-Heartwork
Death-The sound of perseverance
Dethklok-Dethalbum
Bolt Thrower- War master
Love this video, all of these albums applied to me when I was getting into death metal around 15/16. I would also throw in Like An Everflowing Stream by Dismember, Harmony Corruption by Napalm Death, Consuming Impulse by Pestilence and Dawn of Possession by Immolation
Glad your back. I’d put Leprosy for Death, but otherwise solid.
1992 or 93 high school I believe Deicide Legion was mi introduction into death metal and Glen impressed but scared the shit out of me. Obviously after that came Cannibal corpse morbid angel etc. I wish you made more videos your knowledge of D.M is
awesome!👿☠️🤘💀💀
My man that was 10 minutes of you listing off so many of my favorite albums 👏
Great video.

Don’t forget their chainsaw guitar tones. I just loved that from the first moment.
Excellent picks. The classics.
Always great to see you making videos and thanks! Curious what you would consider 'catchy' that isn't melodeath that might get people into the genre
I started in the late 90s with Unleashed-Victory then went straight to Deicide.
Well done. Exceptional stack of greatness. You have set a foundation in place that will support any collection.
Absolutely! 🤘🍻
Napalm Death is good recommendation, and Terrorizer - World Downfall, those bands were the same to me back then as "death metal", along with more brutal Thrash like Sadus, Numskull, etc. and also earlier Thrash of course. As a starting point for Death Metal, you can't really exclude Thrash Metal anyways.
The first death metal album i ever listened to was cannibal corpse galery of suicide.
Also six feet under haunted and commandment was one of the earliest records I listened to.
Here are some more death metal bands I enjoy
Cryptopsy: of course with lord worm
Vitriol
Hate Eternal
Hour of penance
Gorguts
Malevolent creation
Immolation
Cool! It's a good selection of albums to get into the genre, perhaps I would recommend Suffocation for listeners with more experience in the genre, but I agree that to get to know a genre the best thing is to start with the classics that created and invented it
Not a bad list, i would've also put Massacre - From Beyond, Unleashed - Where No Life Dwells

The first barrier is convincing people that Slipknot is not death metal.
My gateway were (around 2005): Behemoth, Six Feet Under, Nile, Decapitated
I remember hearing Effigy of The Forgotten for the first time and it blew my mind! And I discovered it through your channel!
Spot on with these \m/
I'm almost certain if you recommend any of those records to the average Joe there going to think you're a psychopath. Definitely on everybody's Top 20 DeathMetal Album list. Here's a couple I recommend that are outside the metal box... Cheers!!

Asphxy-First 2

Definitely Shadows in the Deep - Unleashed !
Can u recommend some tech death besides Gorguts? Been really enjoying Artificial Brain
That is an excellent Rottrevore shirt sir
Every. Fucking. Record. Is. Phenomenal. So so so so good. Great video as always!!! 💀
As Far As I Remember, The first DM Song I ever genuinely Liked Was Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague.

Now I personally Prefer The More Brutal Stuff, But The Classic's still Hold a place in my heart🤘
Miss your videos
I recommend Dokken, Dio, Ozzy, Maiden, and THE PRIEST
Massacre From Beyond because it bridges Thrash/Death or a slower Morbid Angel like Blessed/Covenant for their more accessible tracks.Reel them in slowly and don't bludgeon them.It is a civil duty to corrupt souls to the dark side.😈
Finally!!!
Most people have an issue with the vocals when it comes to death metal so recommending them OSDM like Death, CC or Obituary is just going to put them off. Listen to Tiamat - Clouds and go from there
You have disappeared, man. So sad. Come back!

Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Skinless and Kataklysm got me into Death Metal
Incantation and Immolation as well. \m/,
What a Nice surprise!
Killer Rottrevore shirt, Iniquitous is an old school favorite of mine

Cynic
