13 DEATH METAL RELEASES THAT GOT ME INTO DEATH METAL! OG PRESS, Demo Tapes and Vinyl !!

[@superunknown2812]

Very rare to see a Original logo Cannibal Corpse on a shirt nowadays,awesome.

[@analogarchives]

Hell yea man got it at the show back in the day.

[@MoveitorLoseit2]

I have the same shirt except mine is with the new logo 🙁

[@gustavocontreras1834]

I have two luckily just from buying bootlegs, I just hate the new logo i can’t bring myself to buy an official one from them nowadays Lmao

[@jon_dosdiez]

hells headbangers has a few with old logo.

[@RichardWolfe79]

Awesome stuff man, I’m envious haha. If I was born ten years earlier, I know I would’ve discovered the demos and trading scene.

[@analogarchives]

I just got swept up in it at the time, just wanting to hear the most obscure heaviest shit coming out. I still have hundreds of tapes from the tape trading scene, such a killer time!

[@grindkrusher]

I’m from same city Chuck lived so Scream Bloody Gore was my death metal origin story even though like you said, it was just more extreme thrash to us since death metal wasn’t an established term yet. Admittedly the vocals weren’t my favorite at first. Once Leprosy came out, i was all in and couldn’t get enough of that style.

[@analogarchives]

Aww cool man, I guess we all have our journey stories for sure. I do remember in an interview with chuck he cited Possessed as one of their main influences but so many bands were influences from the early days like Sodom, Kreator and Hellhammer which get more credit for Black Metal more than anything, which I can see as well. I think it was just a progression from those bands and thrash getting more commercial that spawned the extreme style . Cheers

[@BehappyBhairava]

Such an old-skool collection for the most part.. very envy-worthy. Love all your demo's dude...

[@analogarchives]

Thanks, much appreciated!!

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Dennis!!! epic video dude..... your death metal collection is epic. I'm not a fan of the genre just know and like some stuff from the early days but loved how you explain ypur journey into this type of music from the early bands like Possessed, Death, Sepultura and then moving forward with lots of cool record from the late 80's. cheers and thanks for sharing

[@analogarchives]

Cool, thanks man. Was just gonna do a show and tell but I decided to kinda go into my history with Death Metal coming from the early days of Thrash to the progression into DM. Cheers

[@Skidgore666]

Badass vid man, your one of my fav metal channels for sure. It's nice to see Necrophagia getting some love they were such an influencal band for extreme music for sure. "Fulci Lives Gore Forever" RIP Killjoy p.s. digging that Bloodsucking Freaks shirt 🤘🥃

[@analogarchives]

Love it dude!! Thanks for joining in on the convo! Def love Fulci , Necrophagia(Killjoy) and the immortal man himself Chas Balun, R.I.P.!! Ralphus 4 Lyfe!! haha

[@stevesekora]

Thanks for the response, you started a lot earlier than I did for sure But that is metal in general. In 85' I was in 5th grade and mainly listening to was on MTV, Michael Jackson and stuff like that. In 86' I bought my first "metal" album which is Poison Look at what the Cat Dragged In. It was 86 as well when I first heard Iron Maiden Killers.. that is pretty much kicked everything of for me. Heard Metallica Ride the lightening that year. I got Possessed Seven Churches that year as well and slew of other stuff like Overkill, Megadeth and Anthrax. I first heard Slayer Reign In Blood and Sepultura Schizophrenia sometime in 87 or 88. Then the darker stuff like Celtic Frost and the First Wave BM bands around that same time. In 89 or 90 I heard bands like Cannibal Corpse and Death but I thought Death was heavy ass thrash and CC was garbage haha. I'd say that was 90 leading up to 93. But 93 I was in my 2nd Thrash band and we got a new guitarist that listen to death metal and he pretty much introduced me to a whole new world of extreme music. Just a little history.. may do a video on it soon. I still have that Poison cassette hahaha

[@analogarchives]

Got Ride The Lightning in 84 and never looked back, haha. I was already listening to Motley Cure, Dio , WASP , Armored Saint etc. I was def in the minority listening to thrash at the time and all "metal" dudes hated it and called it trash, until Master Of Puppets came out and then everyone was a Metallica fan, blah.

[@stevesekora]

@@analogarchives hell yea, the first time I heard Metallica I remember I thought it was a bunch of screaming crap haha. Originally my buddy dubbed off JP Defenders of the Faith on an old 90 minute maxwell and he said he would dubbed "something that would knock my socks off" on side B... It was Ride The Lightening" ..it took a little bit for me to like it but once it did, as you said as well. No looking back. That was the same year they released Master Of Puppets but I'm pretty sure I heard Kill Em' All before that. My Kill Em' All cassette had AM I Evil on Side A and Blitzkrieg on side B. I'm not sure what edition it was but I know when I bought the Megaforce CD that it didn't have those tracks on it.

[@marc.g.with.a.c.]

I loved every second of this video Dennis! Hearing you talk & show the demos & albums you did… made me feel like I was shootin’ the sh!t with an old friend! The only difference being… most of those demos you have… I heard thru dubbed tapes that were 6 or 7 times copied… so didn’t sound the greatest… & when the albums came out it was like an audio revelation to me, lol! Great stuff man!🤘🏻

[@analogarchives]

Oh yea Marc thanks man really appreciate it! I knew I was gonna get long winded on this one as I was kinda melding into another video I was gonna do on the orgins of Death Metal which I still my take a deeper dive into at some point. I have demos dubbed like 6 or 7 times as well from trading so I know what your talking about with the full length release for sure! Cheers brother talk to ya soon, we need to do a stream together on something soon, let me know,

[@outer-kevin]

This was a good refresher for sure. And man, Unleashed..you are so right, just not enough love for those early releases. Enjoyed the Ken Collab a couple weeks ago, really fun stuff. Thanks for posting, will see you around.

[@analogarchives]

That Unleashed demo crushes man, such a banger!! Slept on band for sure.

[@mordantrhed]

Very cool video! I like hearing your stories about the demos. Those are crucial years right there. Fantastic collections. Especially the demos.

[@analogarchives]

Some of the best music from those early band were on the demos. Def a cool time to part of the scene! Cheers!

[@mordantrhed]

@@analogarchives yes absolutely. Very cool video.

[@Heavyformats]

Insane stuff man. Did not get into death/black metal til late 90s just coz I was enjoying all the other classics!

[@analogarchives]

Yeah dude so many classics to go back to as well, you really had to be into underground shit to venture into the whole tape trading scene for sure.

[@blackleathereyes3673]

Epic vid Dennis! Loved hearing your stories and seeing those demos man. Top stuff...Hail Horror Hail!

[@analogarchives]

Thanks dude it was a great time in the scene and my life for sure!! Cheers!!

[@raiosdm4536]

Sick. Great to see you back.

[@analogarchives]

Thanks man!

[@n0s0luti0n]

Super cool to see your collection and hear stories from the early days. I got into DM really late with Cause of Death but it was already old, don't think I heard it until '93. My friends and I made fun of death metal before that, took a while for me to "get it." Great video Dennis!

[@analogarchives]

I really like to hear how people got into it and what year, interesting for sure and def has a huge impression on records they like the most . I still remember when everyone made fun of Thrash when it came out and how it was just garbage and those dudes only listened to Preist and Maiden at the time....until Master of Puppets of course, then they all jumped on the bandwagon. Oh well , cheers brother appreciate the interaction and conversation!

[@Metalminersmusic]

I had to watch it in 3 settings but I couldn’t miss it! Great stuff amigo!

[@analogarchives]

Yeah I got a little long winded which is what I knew would happen, thanks for getting through it! Lated dude, cheers!

[@Unleashedraider1985]

Right on about Deicide influenced by Dark Angel. The riff in Sacrifical Suicide is exactly the same as Black Proficies from Dark Angel. Killer unleashed poster

[@analogarchives]

Hit the nail on the head with Black Prophecies dude, I used to say that all the time when we would jam the record, haha

[@NocturnalSummoning45]

Earliest Unleashed album I own is a CD copy of Across the Open Sea from 1993.

[@analogarchives]

Man I had to go back to that record years ago because new releases from bands like Unleashed in 93 were disappointments for me at the time, I do like it now though.

[@LordNecron-TheWitchingHour]

I totally know the feeling of getting out of death metal when Black Metal exploded.

[@analogarchives]

It was getting out of hand with all the bands and egos , DM bands thinking theyre rock stars, lol.

[@bvdaussiemetalhead9338]

How you described that some guys went more extreme and darker heavier and others went more of the same, I was the more of the same guy but now delving a little deeper and darker, never too late 🤘I’ve been lucky to get my hands on some banging early OG DM albums recently 🔥

[@analogarchives]

Yeah dude I saw your score on that Dismember and Entombed OG, killer finds!!

[@crimsoncosmos3348]

Can clearly recollect the one album that started my path into Death Metal. A friend of mine played me Dominus - View to the Dim and it was the heaviest shit I ever had heard at that point. Have not looked back since. Imagine that one was hooked by Death Metal by a band that basically later became Volbeat. Ha ha. This records still kills by the way so if anyone have not heard it check it out.

[@analogarchives]

Hell yea dude, I have that Dominus on a tape from the trading days, gotta pull it out soon and give it a spin, I've been after the CD but it's pretty pricey if I recall. Cheers brother!

[@ExplosiveAction]

Great overview man, and your demos are insane. With the Swedish demos, did you write away to get those from zines and wait three months for shipping from Europe? Or did they show up locally? So awesome. The only thing I'd argue is the 35mm vs. VHS. Man if you ever are lucky enough to see a film in 35mm, then a quality Blu-ray SHOULD look exactly the same. VHS is cropped and magnetic media can't take the resolution. So looking at it from the perspective of archiving, Blu-ray is king (UHD with HDR is often the step too far) if done right as it can be 1 to 1 replication (look at Vinegar Syndrome's work!) alsmost approaching the resoultion. If you PREFER watching it on VHS, that is entirely a different matter though! Would like to hear you talk about 93 and onwards black metal that you got into that you mentioned, let's see those Emperor demos!

[@analogarchives]

Bad analogy for 35mm but I meant it as a form of physical analog recording rather than a digital source. I def dig those Vinegar Syndrome Blu rays though, good quality for sure. I will def do a BM vid soon with some obscure stuff that kinda got lost in the mix. I do have that Emperor demo, haha

[@muskulls4bones249]

Love ya Dennis ive known you since I was just a kid you helped me form my taste in metal btw you fuckin shred on guitar Anyone reading this take his words to heart he knows his shit

[@Hecatecrossways]

Albums that got me into Death Metal Venom - Welcome to Hell Metal Massacre 6 compilation tracks Dark Angel - Slaughter House Possessed - Swing of the Axe ( which was more Death Metal than either studio album which I found less Brutal) Destruction - Debut Ep ( Sentence of Death was completely Satanic) Sodom - In the Sign of Evil ( also 100% Satanic) Kreator - Pleasure to Kill ( the most extreme album at the time ,and all the songs were 100 % Death & Horror) Carcass - Reak of Putrefaction ( educated Horror lyrics) Xecutioner demo

[@analogarchives]

Absolutely love those Metal Massacre songs you mentioned, just crushing !! I plan on doing a Metal Massacre deep dive soon!

[@txhc666]

I'd add Cancer to the death thrash.

[@analogarchives]

For sure dude, love that first record!

[@NocturnalSummoning45]

I often wonder why Morbid Angel recorded most of their albums at Morissound studios, but never got Scott Burns to produce any of them.

[@Hecatecrossways]

Because he didn't get involved with religion based gimmick bands

[@Hecatecrossways]

He produced Deicide because Deicide were anti religious, but not over the top practitioners of Witchcraft. Morbid Angel were serious about their spirituality

[@Everthustodeadbeats]

This inspired me to listen to that necrophagia record again… man it fucking rips. It’s so simple but it beats all the technical bands by being waaaaaay more EVIL sounding. Your collection is insane by the way

[@analogarchives]

I still jam that Necrophagia routinely and have for years, such a classic that was a huge inspiration for me growing up. Killer shit. Cheers!

[@keithdawe8521]

Finally someone lists Necrophagia - Season of the Dead.

[@analogarchives]

Damn straight, fuckin masterpiece and deserves the credit it never really gets.

[@metalneanderthal]

Such killer stuff man. Luckily for me a lot of those demos got reissued in collections or deluxe editions later on. The only one you showed that I’ve tried and I just think is ok is Necrophagia. Killjoy’s vocals are not that great on it. He basically just talked through the songs. It’s just not a record that sounds as hard and nasty as it looks. I own it and every once in awhile spin it thinking I’m going love it and each time left underwhelmed. Early Possessed, Death, Morbid Angel, Nihilist were just miles ahead of that band in every way. That’s probably why it doesn’t get as much love except by their heavy fan base. Anyway love your videos. That Morbid Angel sticker story is awesome! Thanks again for the content.

[@analogarchives]

Dude check out Ready for Death by Necrophagia which was actually supposed to be their first record in 86 but never got released until 90. Sounds heavier and way more gruesome imo.

[@matthewvoss7365]

Possessed 7 Churches-Black Metal----Death Scream Bloody Gore--1'st Death Metal Album.

[@analogarchives]

Both killer records, both Death Metal!!

[@Hecatecrossways]

The first actual official Death Metal album I personally owned was Obama - Slowly We Rot. I never heard of Death until 1995. Cannibal Corpse - Eaten Back to Life was my second factory pressed Death Metal album ( talk about a Thrash Metal sounding album) .Of course I already owned Carcass and Boltthrower albums ( but people told me that they were not Death Metal ( Grindcore 😂). To me Reak of Putrefaction was poorly produced Death Metal. Until I bought Suffocation, Reak was the most Brutal Death Metal I've ever heard. I can understand labeling Napalm Death as Grindcore ( since it sounded like a messy garage Hardcore Punk Album). Other than the short duration of songs Reak met the Death Metal criteria

[@Hecatecrossways]

Always wondered why Macabre never wore their hair long . Every early Death Metal band had the Cousin It Hairstyle

[@analogarchives]

I think they all had Mullets at one time, haha

[@mickeylilly6057]

Excellent channel. Most newer metal blows goats so i check your vids to see what i missed from the good ole days.

[@analogarchives]

Ha , I hear you man!! Thanks for the support brother!!

[@mickeylilly6057]

I'm not even a big fan of extreme metal. I just want something unique sounding

[@jovukota4526]

Lot of Gems here !

[@FalseNi9e]

Repulsion got me into "extreme" music if I had to narrow one down

[@analogarchives]

Yeah dude that Repulsion didnt leave my turntable for a while when I got it, such a banger!!

[@JOABA1]

All great releases...

[@analogarchives]

Thanks!

[@forever_underground]

I'd like to see you do a second wave black metal one of these as well. You don't show your black metal stuff that often.

[@analogarchives]

I might do a more underrated 2nd wave BM vid that has more obscure bands that don't get much love.

[@ashgonza92]

Subscribed. Keep it up man.

[@analogarchives]

Hell yea, thanks!!

[@gavinblair8546]

🤘

[@brianpiotrowski792]

Pretty killer channel love the content

[@analogarchives]

Thanks man, appreciate the views! Cheers

[@Hecatecrossways]

You should do a collaboration Video with JDAWG ( Justin Horval ). You both share a common interest in collecting rare underground Brutal Death Metal, and he is part owner of Hells Headbangers Distro , and Record Label

[@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth]

I did a video like this back in 2018. Don't watch it though, you won't like my list haha. I also have that same A's hat! 🤔

[@analogarchives]

Now I'm going to search it out, hahah.
