Fenriz has great taste in music. I know he is a fan of Uriah Heep. Brah-Brah should listen to them. Phenomenal classic rock band. Way better than Zeppelin.
Hell Awaits carries the DNA of death metal in terms of riffcraft way more than Seven Churches. And to trace it back further, there's no Hell Awaits without Don't Break The Oath.
Stricken to live, hell on earth Shackled and bound we lie In praise of death, life's a dream We're only living to die. If that isn't a mission statement for death metal, I don't know what is.
@@jefflawson3574 Certainly more lyrically competent than the laughably juvenile lyrics found on Seven Churches. Like most I preferred it when Jeff or better yet Tom wrote the lyrics. By any chance do you have the 2008 5-panel (inverted cross) digipak deluxe edition of Seven Churches? That one has the best mastering/sound quality of any edition.
I witnessed 3 albums get made with C.A. was the 1-Man rot crew. 929 S. 4th street... IYKYK.. MORGUE, CADAVEROUS and HAVEN were born in that basement. I was also Jim D "50-cal drummer" (old drummer) drum Tech. Good times.
The Real question is name a Thrash Metal album that isn't Heavier than 72 Seasons by Metallica. Megadeth - Risk doesn't count, because it wasn't Thrash Metal
I would say that Morbid Visions and Bestial Devastation by Sepultura are Black Metal albums with elements of Death and Thrash metal as those releases along with a lot of the cogumelo bands heavily influenced the sound of Black Metal bands such as Blasphemy, Mystifier, Profanatica, Beherit, Impaled Nazarene, Archgoat along with many others in black metal. Your thoughts?
I saw a Deicide Self Titled Album shirt on Hells Headbangers last night, literally just came back this morning to order it and now it's nowhere to be found. What the heck happened between now and last night damnit!?!?
Justin..you need to ask this question. ALL THESE GUYS SAY THEY LOVE THE RAWNESS. OLD PRODUCTION…so WHY do they go on to get rid of that and create over produced things that literally sound less “raw” because I think this channel and the guests on it have proved…raw is good…obviously the music had to be played well. But raw is good.
They bonded over a freshly microwaved Guinea pig. Napalm Death and Broken Hope were the bands responsible for giving people the idea that all Death Metal bands wear Sweat pants onstage. Most Death Metal bands wore jeans black work boots and long sleeve black shirts onstage , but Napalm Death and Broken Hope almost always wore hoodies ,sweat pants and high top white tennis shoes ( sometimes Hawaiian shorts)
A great modern band I like that I definitely recommend is a modern goregrind one man band, Lipoma. Dude adds these melodic evil riffs to it and it’s fucking awesome.
We have the screen for it. We might do a repress of that one again somewhere down the road. Got a few older designs HHR will do. Dont wanna give too much away, but will be unveiled in due time
There's lots of greatest black metal bands, a good portion of them from Finland. Archgoat, Azaghal, Behexen, Horna, Baptism, Sargeist, Ordinance, Forgjord.....all great.
When I was a kid (I am 54 now) in the scene in the early 80s we just considered Hellhammer thrash, venom was thrash when welcome to hell came out and when venom black metal came out cronos would say venom is black metal and black metal is venom. .... but i feel some of these early bands were closer to Death Metal than they were black metal. Until you hear early sodom and destruction and I guess they could have influenced black metal? To be honest everyone has an opinion of where it actually started. I think it was a mix of all these bands from the 80s including HC/PUNK would go onto influences death and Black Metal. I was lucky enough to into it since 79 and 80 and still love everything old and new today. I spend way too much money at HHR haha
Fenriz still like death metal. More now than back then. Back in the 90s it was more like a war mentality against death metal bands (here in Norway) getting polished and looking stupid in their hawai t-shirt and shorts. Many bands in DM he hated, but he liked bands like Morbid Angel and Autopsy. The funny thing about this is that a lot of black metal bands lost their edge in 96. Getting more polished and became more commercial than most death metal
These guys are the coolest!!! And this interview is cool! Best modern Death Metal band ever!! P.S. Death Metal Darkthrone > Black Metal Darkthrone and anyone who says Goatlord is a bad record POOOOOOOOOOOOOSER
Can we talk about the Goatlord artwork through the years? What’s up with that new tech-death album cover? They reissued it once before too with different artwork. I prefer the original
Problem with trying to pinpoint the origins of death metal is back then in the early/mid 80's these sub-genres didnt exist yet. So metal bands who were pushing things in a more extreme direction weren't constrained by these narrow sub-genre definitions like we have now. Bands like Hellhammer and Sodom and Possessed and Slayer all mixed what we now think of as elements of thrash and black and death in their sounds. You can't call any of the earliest extreme stuff pure death metal by today's definitions, but those were all the albums along with Venom that spawned death and black metal. I agree with beardo on the left though, SBG first legit pure death metal album. Too bad Death fell off a cliff after Spiritual Healing.
I do not understand how metal fans do not like black metal. I understand not liking metal core shit but come on man how do you not like inquisition!! Them boys are fucking killer
Cannibal Corpse - Butchered At Birth and Incantation - Onward To Golgotha were the greatest Death Metal albums ever recorded. I consider Cannibal Corpse responsible for changing Death Metal from ordinary Death Metal to Brutal Death Metal. Suffocation invented Slam , but Butchered At Birth was the first Brutal Death Metal album , and both Tomb of the Mutilated and the Bleeding still are Brutal Death Metal. I would consider Vile to also qualify as Brutal Death Metal, but the Vocals are too high and clear, but after Vile Cannibal Corpse changed to a cleaner more technical style of Death Metal
For Darkthrone, Blaze is my favorite, then Under a Funeral Moon. I liked Transylvanian Hunger in my teenage years but it hasn’t done much for me in recent times (it’s OK). But anything from Darkthrone 2004 down is worth a listen I think.
@@grim9872 Panzerfaust is good, one of the few I own. I liked some stuff after that too though. I thought Sardonic Wrath and Hate Them were decent. I liked Total Death. Only one I’m not super familiar with is Plaguewielder
Fenriz said a lot of stupid things back in the day. I think it's normal for kids to feel like they have to be all edgy and stuff to fit a certain image. He is far more likeable as a grown man who just wants to enjoy music and not worrying about who thinks he's cool or not.
Jeff Becerra himself has repeatedly said in many interviews that POSSESSED is Death Metal. Seven Churches even has a track titled Death Metal. To me, I consider them to be a blackened thrash band at best. They routinely played shows with the bay area thrash bands, gets included in many thrash metal documentaries.
of course he would say that, that makes him relevant but Possessed was just Slayer from aliexpress. only time they went DM were on that demo from 1993.
I remember this friend got a shirt special ordered from the record shop. It was a mayhem shirt and on the back it had this huge paragraph and at the end of it there was all this bashing on death metal and napalm death. It didn’t make me feel they were anymore extreme
I agree about darkthrone. I love their first 3 or 4 black metal albums, some of the best bm but everything else is garbage. Fenriz can't make his mind up. That album cover on their newest album is a joke. I see a lot of people saying it's cool. Wtf is wrong with people?
I like about their first 6 or 7 (if you consider Goatlord an official album) but they have lost their edge and now and they’ve kind of now fall into the category of “Black metal for people too scared of black metal”
the Best DEATH METAL Album of all time..??? ASPHYX'S Self Titled album from 1994 on Century Media Records. Crushing, Atmospheric, Experimental at times... would definitely make Celtic Frost proud. The only ASPHYX album to feature Ron van Pol on Bass & Vocals
There's nothing but negativity on this channel. Horval does nothing productive for the continuation of the music... Let's spend 20 minutes every morning of the week ripping on people and shouting how right and how 'true' we are. No thanks.
I may be young or ignorant but I can careless about Slayer , some songs are okay but it does nothing for me , mind me that LA is full of slayer maniacs , I still don’t really care the vocals are trash Af maybe it’s one of the few reasons I hate thrash 😂 cool interview tho…. Yes In some zines some black metal members were talking shit about death metal 😂😂😂 .. PS just speaking my opinion, I’m open to opinions but don’t get all crybaby on me… I think scream blooody gore as a kid fit the bill for death metal
I fuckin love Slayer. I’m old, and a dad. So I guess I can understand Slayer being dad rock or classic rock. Hell, their first album turns 40 this year. I’d love to hear The Antichrist on classic rock radio😂
Fenriz has great taste in music. I know he is a fan of Uriah Heep. Brah-Brah should listen to them. Phenomenal classic rock band. Way better than Zeppelin.
Damn, I love me some Heep. David Byron doesn't get enough love.
@@jefflawson3574 All of their singers are good. Saw them live recently and they blew me away!
For sure, man. I like at least one album each from the Lawton and Goalby years (Firefly and Abominog). And Shaw has been bank for so long now too.
Fenriz is less of a poser than J Dawg. That's for damn sure.
@@jefflawson3574 Same. Firefly, especially the deluxe edition with the bonus tracks is straight fire, brah brah!

Awesome interview brother the cardiac arrest guys rule! Was good seeing you Friday .
I love this channel!
Cardiac was the first death metal band i saw live as a kid, 20 years later and im glad those dudes are still keeping it real!
I’ve been loving these interviews! I really enjoy having the relaxed back-n-forth between you and the interviewee, nerding out over metal!

I'm turning 45 April 28th!!! Much Respect to the Cardiac Arrest dudes!! Killer band!! Great vid brother!!! 😀 😎 👍
Tom is only about 4 months older than me.
Guys we need to figure out what’s a heavier thrash album than 72 seasons by Metallica
The Real question is name a Thrash Metal album that isn't Heavier than 72 Seasons by Metallica. Megadeth - Risk doesn't count, because it wasn't Thrash Metal
I'd say that nothing tops that shit pile
Under a Funeral Moon is the best Darkthrone album.
Yes
Panzerfaust.
@@jezuschrystus4837 That one rules too.
I don't think you can ever go wrong with Darkthrone; I like all their albums-almost like Motörhead or ACDC.
I would say that Morbid Visions and Bestial Devastation by Sepultura are Black Metal albums with elements of Death and Thrash metal as those releases along with a lot of the cogumelo bands heavily influenced the sound of Black Metal bands such as Blasphemy, Mystifier, Profanatica, Beherit, Impaled Nazarene, Archgoat along with many others in black metal.

Brah! What da!
How long did it take to come up with that
Those shirts sell out fast everytime they get them in.
"The Day That Death Prevailed" is my favorite one. I'm looking forward to the new one!🤘😀
Why did Fenriz cross the road?
Because Euronymous told him to.
Why did you make this joke? Because it's not funny
@@slaythembeforemeand?
Heres the thing. People devait if seven churches was death metal. Theres no debate about scream bloody gore. Thats fucking death metal
Oh man I’m gunna have to scope out the line up for blades of steel fest in Madison.
Pretty stacked lineup dude. Hope to see ya there!!
I know right FUCKINNG CYCLONE IS PLAYING BRAH BRAH
Love Cardiac Arrest - Adam and Tom seem like really nice blokes too
Good interview.
That Nordic Metal comp was good, I still have my copy too 🤘
Important question: do those sideburns fit the bill
Those sideburns are righteous
There is a powerviolence band called neckbeerd so that’s good enough to fit the bill haha
Only on a bald man.
Necrophagia seasons of the dead is the first death metal record, scream bloody gore came out months later if I recall
Absolutely agree it's funny cuz I got like five different versions of that album
Justin..you need to ask this question. ALL THESE GUYS SAY THEY LOVE THE RAWNESS. OLD PRODUCTION…so WHY do they go on to get rid of that and create over produced things that literally sound less “raw” because I think this channel and the guests on it have proved…raw is good…obviously the music had to be played well. But raw is good.
Fenriz cried about death metal after Euoronymous yelled at him for wearing sweatpants and worshiping Swedish death metal.
They bonded over a freshly microwaved Guinea pig. Napalm Death and Broken Hope were the bands responsible for giving people the idea that all Death Metal bands wear Sweat pants onstage. Most Death Metal bands wore jeans black work boots and long sleeve black shirts onstage , but Napalm Death and Broken Hope almost always wore hoodies ,sweat pants and high top white tennis shoes ( sometimes Hawaiian shorts)
Another great interview.
South of Heaven and Seasons are good records. I don't understand why BRAH BRAH and his BRAH don't like them.
Great interview! Love J-Dawgs shirt! Hell's should sell it!
Hell yeah Tom with the AT WAR t-shirt!!!!!!!
Cardiac Arrest always puts an awesome show. Great Death metal live band.
Carnage and Freezing Moon are masterpieces
I always go back to this 1... abam is awesome ive met him before..he always has a good attitude..
I have been having lots of problems with my Internet connection, so I haven't been keeping up with the videos lately
A great modern band I like that I definitely recommend is a modern goregrind one man band, Lipoma. Dude adds these melodic evil riffs to it and it’s fucking awesome.
??? Any chance Hell's comes through with shirts of The Day That Death Prevailed album art?

He says that now, because it’s the cool thing to say and to stay relevant. 30 years ago he was saying they were Thrash for the same reason.
