it just seems like the genre is being obscured these days by newer emo and metalcore bands.  people who don't really know how bands are categorized tend to quickly mislabel bands.  i've heard someone call the agony scene death metal when - IMO - they tend to be more punk than anything except for the vocal style.

You are very correct! There is a lot of that going around!

Still if you want good Old School Death by a newer band

I suggest looking at Bloodbath!

It's comprised of artists from different bands!

The first CD featured the vocals of Mikael ?kerfelt from Opeth!

The second CD featured the vocals of Peter T?gtgren from Hypocrisy!

And I promise you that Exmortem is Death as well!

Two of my favourite metal bands are Opeth and Dark Tranquillity. I don't listen to much metal, but I do have a nice collection of metal bands on my computer. I'm normally into the progressive sub-genre of metal. Anything in the range of Opeth and Symphony X really gets me going haha.

Dark Tranquillity is a pretty good band. They're not my favorite, but whenever they put an album out I try to give at least a few tracks an honest listen.

And there is still plenty of good death metal out there, you just have to look. It also depends on what you're looking for. Are you a melo-death fan looking for an At the Gates type sound, or are you looking for more brutal, crushing death metal like Nile? Death metal is really an overused term used by your friend who doesn't listen to metal whenever you tell him about a band he's never heard of. There is so much under that one sub-genre that it can be a bit much I find.

Serenity in Fire and Shadows & Dust are good albums. I find their early stuff to be awful.

I might hit up one of those shows. I don't much care for Trivium though.

You don't know Amon Amarth? Heretic!:wacko:o:

:woot:  Woah, sweet. Explain all those pedals.

from left to right:

boss TU-2 chromatic tuner (white)

danelectro coolcat (chorus) (dunno)

boss DD-6 digital delay (white)

ibanez tube screamer (light green)

boss DS-1 distortion (orange)

boss MT-2 metal zone (black)

boss PH-3 phase shifter (green)

dunlop 535Q wah

digitech whammy (very nice!)

only the amp is new, the pedals i've had for a while.

the head of the amp lists for $1499 and guitar center lists it for $1199 and their competitor sam ash lists at nearly the same price. i initially wanted to buy the 2x12 combo but the one store that carries this model amp only had the head and they were selling it for (they two heads in stock) $839 and $819. the second was cheaper cuz the guy said out of the box it had some scratches and dents but i've yet to find them. i bought the cabinet and all together it totaled right at about what the combo would have cost. sweet deal! i'm stoked!

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
