10 Albums That Got Me Into Death Metal

Cryptopsy's "Not so vile" opened my eyes to what death metal was all about after years of not getting the genre. DM became my favorite genre since then but funny I haven't felt the urge to listen to "Not so vile" for many years

[@gonzalogordillocoronado2775]

Un grandioso album ese de Cryptopsy

[@binglebop5877]

Benedictine Convulsions is such a classic

The band that got me into it was Cannabis Corpse. It made me realize that I shouldn't be so serious.

Death leprosy Insatanity (I knew the singer back then) Morbid Angel Blessed are the sick Carcass (I forget the album honestly) Obituary slowly we rot I'm not a boomer (Gen X) but love and appreciate that people of all ages are into extreme music still. I love the channel, Keep it brutal!

[@deadliestassassin3092]

I'll give u my list Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness Morbid Angel - Covenant Sepultura - Morbid Visions Sepultura - Bestial Devastation Obituary - Slowly We Rot Cancer - Death Shall Rise Death - Scream Bloody Gore Cannibal Corpse - Tomb of the Mutilated Deicide - Legion Deicide - Deicide Malevolent Creation - Ten Commandments Vader - Ultimate Incantation Napalm Death - Harmony Corruption Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten Broken Hope - Bowels of Repugnance Unleashed - Across the Open Sea Dismember - Indecent & Obscene Hypocrisy - Fourth Dimension Entombed - Wolverine Blues Nokturnel - Nothing but Hatred (worth checking out if u can find them. Technical death metal from early 90's similar fast vocal style to the band Origin. ) Ripping Corpse - Dreaming with the Dead I was exposed to all these bands and 100's more back in the 90's before i had Internet. It really got me going with my collection. Today i dont really care for tech death or deathcore but old school death metal. Mainly Swedish death metal and melodic death metal like Gates of Ishtar, Amon Amarth, A Canorous Quintet to name a few. Melodic black metal and Greek black metal is my main thing currently.

[@ShadowRonan]

Dude, thanks for putting that Infester album cover in the beginning. I searched them up and I’m loving that record so much.

[@somedude682]

First death metal I heard was hammer smashed face by cannibal corpse from ace ventura in ‘94...I was 10 and it blew my mind

[@Guts100Slain]

Bands that really got me into death metal were Cannibal Corpse Torture Killer Death Nile Entombed Skinless Vader All of those bands are just amazing in their own right, and a good amount for good reason

[@witchfynderfinder1882]

first death metal album I ever heard was Scream Bloody Gore. Started in a pretty good place I think.

[@ThisGuy7310]

Slaughter of the Soul from At the Gates was my first dive into Death Metal. I know they're more Melodic Death Metal but it was through that album that I started getting into the heavier stuff.

[@rodgill9376]

Not albums per say but the bands that got me into death metal were: Cannibal Corpse, Acid Witch, Brain Drill, Dying Fetus, Immolation, Nile, Behemoth, Deeds of Flesh, Cannabis Corpse and Death. The rest was history. But actually, I was a bit weird musicially when I was in high school. I first started with hip-hop, R&B and rap with bits of metal slowing coming in. Actually it was movies that I grew up at the time growing up with soundtracks like Mortal Kombat, The Matrix and etc. Fun times man.

[@merginator]

Annihilation of the Wicked?!?!?! DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@AnthonyAllen-m1p]

Hey Annihilation If The Wicked is still to date my favorite Nile album. Still jams

[@andrepreu5868]

I couldn't name 10 records that got me into Death Metal because when I got into Death Metal there weren't that many good records out. Napalm Death's "Mentally Murdered" just got released and a local radio station played a song or two of it and I loved it. I went into the next big record store but they didn't have any Napalm Death. But they had Napalm's "Cruel Tranquility" which was not my taste and Death's "Scream Bloody Gore" which I bought right on the spot. Later I got "Altars of Madness", "Slowly We Rot", Bolt Thrower "Realm Of Chaos", Pestilence "Consuming Impulse", Pungent Stench "For God Your Soul..." and the two Morgoth EPs. And then the Hype started and I was happy about the welcome change of Paradise Lost and Cathedral, My Dying Bride and Anathema. But my very first show ever that I went to was Carcass on their "Symphonies of Sickness" Tour. Great album, but still Grindcore then. So I'm really happy for the inspiration to check out all these new bands. Btw.: which band's cover art is shown between Infester and Carcass? Thx.

[@michaelcallan5992]

I think these were the very first albums that got me into death metal: -Heartwork by Carcass -Soul of a New Machine by Fear Factory -Spiritual Healing by Death -Vile by Cannibal Corpse -Destroy Erase Improve by Meshuggah -None So Vile by Cryptopsy -Blackwater Park by Opeth -Beneath the Remains by Sepultura -Individual Thought Patterns by Death -Symbolic by Death

[@frankangelsolis]

Who else remembers when Exhumed played along with the supremes in the Eric Andre show⚔️? Their new album Horror is a total Grind banger bro!

[@binglebop5877]

My first exposure to dm was Rob Scallons cover of church of deviance. Cabinet is such a good album

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Cannibal Corpse would've been the first band that really introduced me to death metal, "Butchered At Birth" was even the first death metal album I bought on vinyl, followed closely by "Ritual" by The Black Dahlia Murder and "Surgical Steel" by Carcass.

[@psychosis8429]

My first ever experience with death metal was Archspire's The Lucid Collective. My brother kept giving me crap for what I was listening to at the time(I was really into Hollywood Undead at the time) and so I decided I wanted to find something absolutely heavy and insane and decided that death metal was the key to that. Since I had no idea what death metal even was I kept looking at KZbin comments and so many people were mentioning Archspire so I decided to listen to Archspire. I looked up Archspire and the first song to pop up was Fathom Infinite Depth (this was before the release of Relentless Mutation so around 2026 early 2017) and when I saw that I clicked on it and put on my earbuds in and listened to it and was blown away by what I heard. It was so fast and heavy compared to what I heard before and I loved it. I immediately fell in love with the band and decided that death metal was kind of cool and that is how I got into death metal

[@merginator]

slipknot - iowa (got me into heavier music) deicide - when satan lives (heard some songs and became addicted) the berserker - the berserker (found them while researching roadrunner records) strapping young lad - strapping young lad (heard them live at a fear factory show) chimaira - the impossibility of reason (damn good heavy album that pushed me further to heavier music) cannibal corpse - live cannibalism (friend showed me this live album and I dove into their entire discography after that, love this band) behemoth - demigod (heard this and was sold immediately) amon amarth - with oden on our side (melodic death metal that I fell in love with!!!) cattle decapitation - karma bloody karma (death mixed with grind that made me addicted.) nile - annihilation of the wicked (found this while searching for the worlds fastest drummer, lol)

[@tynarious]

Reminds me of my first time listening to Death Metal. Also on the bus when I was 13 or so, my friend showed me Dying Fetus - Kill Your Mother and Rape Your Dog. I was blown away. I'm 22 now and haven't looked back. Metal head for life. Thanks for the vids mate.

[@manuelplatino1926]

I can proudly say that I got to see The Berzerker live before they disbanded in San Francisco and they played all instruments live, at the recorded speed, with masks on

[@wyattxhim]

[@triledink]

I have listened to death metal time to time with thrash years ago, but the album that got me into death metal was Autopsy - Severed Surivial, Probably my favorite death metal of all time.

[@dario3250]

Listened to a lot of Death in high school (especially "Human") but "Your Treachery Will Die With You" for me as well opened the doors wide open for death metal

[@exploringwithasmr]

Going to see Oranssi Pazuzu tomorrow in Cambridge?

[@wyattxhim]

Exploring With ASMR yes

[@iKnowFast]

Here we go, as I'm 45, I can only say, these where all fresh to EVERYONE, not the classics they are today. Deicide - Legion Bolt Thrower - Warmaster Carcass - Heartwork Massacre - From Beyond Cannibal Corpse - Tomb of the Mutilated Entombed - Left hand Path Dismember - Indecent and Obscene Obituary - Cause of Death Cancer - Death Shall Rise Malevolent Creation - The Ten Commandments

[@ShreddedShredder0]

I think it's hilarious that Are You Dead Yet is the album that got you into death metal. For me that was the last of Children of Bodom. I adore all the albums before it though. Annihilation of the Wicked is one of my top ten metal albums.

[@MrJordwalk]

Iconoclast is a great album, but they have yet to top the trilogy of Whatever It May Take, Antigone and Deaf To Our Prayers IMHO. EVERY SONG on Deaf..... "Counterweight", "Trespassing the Shores of Your World", "Profane Believers", "Stay the Course", "The Final March", "Of No Avail", "Armia", "MyBestFriends.com", "Biogenesis (Undo Creation)", "Dying in Silence" and "The Greatest Gift Of God", THEY ALL BLUDGEON. This is my favourite HSB album and a perfect one from front to back. Anyway, the following are the records that got me into Death Metal, and most of these picks are in the Melodic and Progressive spheres of Death Metal, as I never clicked with Brutal Death or Deathgrind. 1) In Flames - "Come Clarity" 2) Dark Tranquility - "Fiction" 3) Amon Amarth - "With Oden On Our Side" 4) Arch Enemy - "Wages Of Sin" 5) Opeth - "Ghost Reveries" 6) Soilwork - "Stabbing The Drama" 7) Darkest Hour - "Hidden Hands Of The Sadist Nation" 8) Disgorge - "Consume The Forsaken" 9) Insomnium - "Above The Weeping World" 10) Cynic - "Focus"

[@bboydobriy]

Remember listening to a lot of hip hop when I was 11-12 because I was breakdancing at the time and then idk how but I found out about Slayer (Angel of Death) and Cannibal Corpse (I Cum Blood) and loved the shit out of it but listened to it in the closet because I thought it wasn't TRUE to listen to hip hop and metal at the same time. Loool PS Fucking awesome shirt man!

[@LATESSyeah]

Death's song Empty words was the first death metal song i ever heard when i was 14. Shortly after i listened to the full album and i was hooked. To this day Empty words is my absolute favorite death metal song ever. Thanks to Death old school death metal is my fav subgenre of metal.

[@osey11]

Was also children of bodom for me to. Introduced by a friends older sister at around 11-12 years old

[@doseofreality420marianetti2]

I was in sixth grade in 1989 and I started dating a girl who was making a fanzine called Enigmatic Dillusions. One of the first couple of bands to send us demos for review included Internal Bleeding, Impetigo, Gutted, Suffocation and Dying Fetus. I don't remember the exact dates but it was probably closer to 91 but I was devoted to that style since day one.

[@ashertelvallo9480]

[@billybishop1997]

I love Resurrection Through Carnage by Bloodbath. It's number two on my death metal albums of all time list.

[@Drinkwithclass]

Dude, me and my friends in school used to worship the fist 4 CoB albums. I stopped following the band after Blooddrunk until I discovered Kalmah, It was like coming back with an old girlfriend

[@bluewinter6660]

The first 4 albums are perfection!

[@blackmoonangler]

I got into it from hearing Children of Bodom in a skate video. I’m not ashamed and I wouldn’t deny it to get respect from a few basement dwellers

[@SlyHikari03]

The Bezerker is rad. It’s like metal from 2029, basically ghost in the shell cyborg universe type shit. Also, Melo-death is great. Mors Subita’s Into eternity is my personal favorite song from that genre.

[@seanbrando_7456]

As far as extreme music as would say, Deadguy, Napalm death were what led me to heavier sounds but Morbid angel's Covenant album made me want more.......I didn't LOVE covenant but within a week or two I heard Cannibal Corpse butchered at birth and that was it. It was around 7th grade I would say........I was a kid that loved punk and hardcore and of course normal early 90's stuff. Grunge and Guns and roses and like that you know. That music really just made me want more and like most metal heads I got more extreme. There was no internet so you went to the weird scary guys booth at the flea market and bought the scariest looking thing and hid it from your parents........thanks creepy flea market man. Thanks for giving Tipper Gore the finger.

[@Jared98695]

My list: 1. Behemoth - The Satanist, Zos Kia Cultus and Demigod 2. Death - The Sound of Perseverance 3. Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God 4. Deicide - Scars of the Crucifix and S/T 5.

I remember AOV by slipknot being the first song to get me into metal. Hail Mary by Iwrestledabearonce was the first album to do it

[@aggelosmanolis5689]

Aov is definitely the best song on the gray chapter

[@merginator]

The Berserker is tight. I found them while finding other Roadrunner Records bands trying to find other heavy music after finding Deicide. Deicide led me to the Berserker which led me to more and more death metal. yeet

[@metalneanderthal]

You were in the 6th grade when Are You dead yet came out? God damn I’m old!

Mine were probably 1.cannibal corpse live cannibalism 2. Morbid angel domination. 3. Brujeria mextremist 4. The red chord fused together through revolving doors 5. Cattle decapitation to serve man

[@the_trash_mane5875]

As bad as it sounds I got my start in 8th grade when I was introduced to a few metalcore and deathcore bands (around maybe 2013/2014?). Whitechapel's Somile Defilement was my shit. After getting flak from the local death metal community I was introduced to actual death metal. Albums I started with was Jungle Rot: Skin The Living, Bloodbath: Nightmares Made Flesh, Obituary: Slowly We Rot, Cryptopsy: Blasphemy Made Flesh, Fleshgod Apocalypse: Labirynth, and then The Black Dahlia Murder's Miasma. Basic start but we all started somewhere.

[@thomassibley9475]

For me it was Morbid Angel-Gateways of annihilation

[@Chrissiv]

Mine is easy - None So Vile by Cryptopsy. My favorite death metal album ever, but not my favorite death metal band (though I do like them). If you're being broad about death metal, my first extreme metal OR metal record EVER was Children of Bodom's Something Wild. I actually got into regular metal (Iron Maiden, etc.) from Children of Bodom.

[@SuperStrik9]

First album that got me into death metal was Death - Spiritual Healing.

[@wordsfromdeity3510]

"I always preferred Michael over Peter" No homo, right?

[@xenonvinc]

no hate but I dont get how people calssify CoB as death metal...

[@goatmoonwarmaster4641]

Next video thrash metal

[@billybishop1997]

The Bleeding by Cannibal Corpse is my favorite death metal album of all time and that album I hold responsible for getting me into death metal.

[@bluewinter6660]

Children of Bodom made me love (melodic) black metal because of Alexis evil growls in the debut and the other 2 upcoming albums, which I still listen today and praise hardcore. In my opinion the change on "Are you Dead yet" made this band become just a regular thrash sounding band with mediocore solos and worse vocals. Also Jari from Wintersun was only great in the debut and his projects like Arthemesia and Ensiferum, with Time they dropped in guitar quailities and songwriting overall became like Nightwish or something. In my opinion, Melodic Death metal is something completely different to Death metal so I dont count Opeth, In Flames , Kalmah, CoB,...to the albums that got me into DM! My start into Death metal was: Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding Death - Human Entombed - Clandestine Morbid Angel - Covenant Obituary - Cause of Death Autopsy - Mental Funeral Atheist - Piece of time Behemoth - Zos Kia Cultus

[@horseofunreason]

I don't really like Åkerfeldts growls, sure he has a quite unique and own style, but I think it sounds like he needs to take a poop. I do like his vocals on Brave Murder Day by Katatonia though.
