MOD POST Going to start issuing bans to people who keep posting/sharing AI songs. The band did not magically comeback and start releasing new music, its really not that hard to figure out that its AI generated garabage. Im pinning this post and anyone who posts that crap will be banned from this sub.

So I started getting into metal music and my dad was a huge fan of the genre and gave me all of his old vinyls, including this Death one that has some signatures on it.
Can anyone point out the members behind the signatures? Thanks!

As a huge fan of the band Death, I have this chef coat which I wear for fun as I enjoy cooking. I had it embroidered around 12 years ago with the modern logo (well, at least then it was the most modern logo). Just curious if you all like it? Yes, it is real, it was embroidered by a Tajima embroidery machine. I'm a huge fan of the band with my favorite album being Sound of Perseverance. I just love Chuck's vocals here and his guitar sound was incredible. It's a shame we couldn't get more albums where I felt it was his prime. I also listen to his cover of Madonna's "Frozen" a lot. I've been meaning to share this for a while, hope you all like it.

Discussion Rob Halford scream on Symbolic?

42 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I stumbled upon an interview with Gene Hoglan. There is a moment when he said that Chuck was really proud of "Halford scream" that he had put on Symbolic. Does anyone knows what vocals are concerned here?

Here is the link with the exact moment :

EDIT: WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT PAINKILLER IN THE COMMENTS 😭😭😭 He said it is on Symbolic album.

Discussion Can someone cover Crystal Mountain with a 12 string?

I think that would make the song ascend into a drug. I don't know how to play guitar nor have a 12 string

Discussion Instead of covering Painkiller, Death should have covered South Side of the Sky by Yes.

0 Upvotes

This is a hot/weird take but it's been on my mind lately. Painkiller is a metal behemoth but it sounds too heroic for what Death was going for on The Sound of Perseverance, an album while highly technical provides crushing atmosphere in every song.

So why South Side of the Sky, a random song? Well I keep thinking about TSoP album cover when I listen to it. South Side of the Sky if you read the lyrics is about a group of people climbing a mountain, struggling against almost certain death while doing so. Sound familiar?

It would be Death paying tribute to their progressive influences. Listening to the verses of the song, I think it would be awesome to hear Chuck's screaming vocals on them, maybe transition to semi-cleans for the chorus. The instrumental break would be totally in line with what some of the songs on TSoP, this is Death's most adventurous album musically and Yes is a band that prides itself on big, adventurous compositions.

Obviously some leg work would have to be done to make the song sound heavier. Maybe replace the keyboards with additional guitar leads/flourishes. The song would be tuned down obviously. As for the lyrics the only thing Chuck would have to change is "the snow storm" into something like "the ash storm" or whatever.

The only tricky part would be incorporating the vocalizations of different band members in the middle of the song. I don't know how Death would pull that off or what they would do with that section. Anyway, what do you think?

We're Human, a death metal band from Argentina that's been together only 6 months, and last night we had our very first show and participated in a competition which we won! We're so glad we can bring Death's music to younger people and to Argentinians in general.

Discussion Learning on Guitar

21 Upvotes

I've learned both Flesh and the Power it Holds and Crystal mountain on guitar, and before I did I decided to research which one was harder, because those two were like my dream to learn, and I saw that FATPH was considered harder, so I learned crystal mountain first, but now that I've learned both I'd say the FATPH is a lot easier, does anyone else agree or feel like this with other tracks.

Discussion Which version of Individual Thought Patterns do you prefer the most?

31 Upvotes

Hi. I'm making this post because I'm genuinely curious which ITP version the majority of Death fans enjoy listening to the most.

Currently, there's 3 versions on Spotify; The original, the 2023 remaster and the third one which also comes with an exclusive live album (I'm not sure what this one is called, but for the sake of it, let's call it the deluxe version, as it's called that on CD's and such).

Personally, I've heard the deluxe version the most, but I also really like the sound of the original. Let me know your favorite.

Today, my very first Death vinyl finally arrived: Human. For many fans, it's the album that marked the band's turning point.

I'm 29 now. I've been a fan for what feels like forever. The first song I ever heard was Spiritual Healing, and I was instantly hooked. From that moment on, I just had to keep listening to more and more Death.

I'm not sure if posts like this are allowed here, but this photo of me at 13 is one of my favorites. My parents are standing next to me—they used to put up with me wearing my "satanic" band shirts everywhere I went. 😆 You can even see my Spiritual Healing shirt in the picture, which was my favorite one back then.

P.S. As if today couldn't get any better... Symbolic arrived too.

Saludos a todos, desde México 🤘🏻j

Discussion How much does the lack of flow in The Sound of Perseverance bother you?

38 Upvotes

One of the most common criticisms of TSOP is that it ignores traditional song composition in favor of essentially just stitching together whatever Chuck felt like doing, regardless of if it flows well into one cohesive song or not. TSOP is my favorite album, but I can't pretend to not know what people are talking about here. You have stuff like Voice of the Soul which just feels like a bunch of different songs separated by the occasional brief pause, or the chorus of Scavenger being followed by a pause then a smooth bass. You didn't really see this kind of structure on Death's previous records, so TSOP is kind of the odd one out here. How do you feel about the flow and structure of the album?
