| miniradman says : I don't understand why people recommend OSDM as a starter. I know that I hated OSDM when I first started getting into Death Metal such as Autopsy and Obituary. It was stuff like Cannibal Corpse's Kill album that really got me into death metal. Specifically this song: I found that this song was pretty much the best thing Death Metal had to offer (at the time that is). It wasn't slow, boring, and shitty like Obituary. That being said, after the Cannibal Corpse phase, I think that Crypotpsy (NoNe So Vile), Morbid Angel (Altars of Madness) and Suffocation (Suffocation) is where I went. It worked for me and I tend to be a somewhat Stubborn bastard when it comes to getting into new genres of music when I already like something else.  |

Your entire post is a massive, flaming truckload of fail. |

). So, Altars of Madness is not OSDM??  |
yeah, although I'm not very fond of OSDM, I just put that in there to show that I'm not a closed minded TWAT the classifies all OSDM as bad 
| SevereAbomination says : However, I still disagree with your post. I'll explain now. I don't really think pyou fully grasp the point of Death Metal. Cannibal Corpse is great, don't get me wrong, if you're in the Mood for some boneheaded, straight forward, ultra-fast Death Metal but there's more to it than that. I happen to find songs like "In The Grip of Winter" by Autopsy a Hell of a lot heavier than anything CC has done. Speed isn't everything man, a bit of variation in the music is what keeps it exciting. And besides, without those slow parts, you couldn't have those bone jarring tempo changes that are a staple in Death Metal music. |
| You've kind of gone backwards from the most modern (and absolutely shitty) form of Death Metal (Deathcore) and back. I think it's better to start from the beginning, that way you'll have a better understanding of the genre and how it's progressed. |
. But because I've done that, I miss out on what people "feel" to OSDM. | I'm kinda just rambling here, as I tend to just type as the words come to my Head like you would a normal conversation. I hope I actually made a point somewhere in there. Sorry again for the unecessary Reaction to your original comment mini. |
| GandhiEgo says : Taking your argument the other way round, when you say that you wouldn't think anyone would be starting with, let's say, Autopsy or Obituary, I think it would be true of bands like Origin or Necrophagist. If I didn't know DM at all, I don't think playing Antithesis would help me wanting for some more DM! |
| miniradman says : Hmmm, here's a thought... Moose1220, what genres do you like? it'd be better to recommend something Closer to those genres and lead him in slowly rather than taking stabs in the dark |
Well, I should mention, after I started this thread, I kind of Forgot it existed but since then, I've been getting into Melodic Death quite a bit, bands like Divinity, Into Eternity, Orpheus, Cypecore, Artas and System Divide. Maybe there are some other bands that sound similar to these? In answer to your question, I'd say Thrash, Power, and Progressive are some of my favorite genres, with Metalcore in there as well. I've slowly been getting into some Deathcore, like Dirge Within. Maybe something like them as well? I did get Obituary's latest album, which I enjoy. But again, thanks for all the suggestions! I haven't really had time to really research all these bands, what with school, girlfriend, work, etc. But I appreciate everyone's help!
