Death Metal Kill Zone

listening to the new SFU album, ''Undead'' - sounds like the first decent album they recorded in 15 years..surprisingly, more than one tracks sound great

it usually is, but after the departure of Greg Gall (drums) and Terry Butler (bass), the new line-up really came out with a kick-ass album - i'd say Undead and Haunted are their best albums yet

I love love LOVE Cannibal Corpse! The albums I listen to the most are "Eaten back to Life" and " Live Cannibalism"

Wish I knew other bands like them Dead

Newer Hypocrisy needed to use their keys a little more.

This was a step in the right direction.

So far, I'm looking for an album by them that can actually beat their self titled.

^I saw Hypocrisy twice around 1992/1993. Nothing to write home about IMO. I remember them as a kind of second rate Swedish death metal act, but maybe I�m wrong? I�ll give them a listen at some point.

They would have only put out their first two albums at that point, so meh.

Well not me. It�s that long ago I reviewed the debut album and I remember being a bit disappointed about it. I remembered it being better. As far as I understand they�ve pretty much stuck to their guns ever since?

This album is awesome. Probably my second favorite 21st century death metal album now behind Panzerchrist's Battalion Beast.

Meh. Sam Dunn isn't the most credible person in the world on this topic, and a good amount of his stuff is hard to take seriously.

Or UMUR . . . see the Post Link you nut Tongue

Willy -

I agree that there are "majors" missing from many of his Docs (except Flight 666 and Rush) that are

almost inexcusable BUT! The man has been able to get a wider audience to learn of the Metal genres

we love, he's able to get wide releases which only expand. And get a lot of publicity (even though

UMUR doesnt know who Sam Dunn is LOL

).
Now (Sam). . . he's defying "VH1" by going with and talking about the Extreme Metal side, possibly

expelling its "cliche's" as well (I mentioned this to him at his FB page).

There have been a few Docs dealing with Thrash and Death Metal, but have had little or no impact

on getting a wide theatrical release, only on YOUtube or straight to video, at-least Sam Dunn has a

good eye in editing, asking good questions and being professional and having classy product.

Note: I learned of VH1's "wimpyness" via-one of the guys from "That Metal Show" on their FB page.
I asked point blank "Why dont we hear about more NEW Metal bands and the extreme bands (from

Prog Metal, Thrash, Black and Death Metal")? Also, some other "details" that make it a harder sell.

These were answered by another fan along the same lines of my question, here was TMS's reply . . .

"Death/Black Metal has been an area that has been brought up time & time again. Eddie is on record stating he's not a fan of the genre and the channel makes all final decisions when it comes to the show anyway.
You should write VH1 Classic directly then and tell them to think about a Death/Black/Speed metal segment.The DJ on the show is a huge fan of all of that."

"VH1 writes the segments and approves the content of the show".

Also its logistics for Euro/South American bands, Guests are not paid and have to be interested in an

invite and make their way to the show and ravailable for tapings of the show. . . so that leaves the Underground scene "underground".

Again,

Metalheads need to be pro-active instead of just saying "MEEEEETAL DOOOOD!!!" Tongue

, we need to

get involved if Metal is to be heard.
I'm a Death Metal fan and I care, I'd like to see these Bands get credit and "make a living" at what they

do, that takes more exposure while keeping it brutal.
