So which old school death metal scene do you prefer (1987-1993)? In my mind the most influential artists came from the US, the UK, and from Sweden, but there were other important scenes too, which are worth a mention. I´d for example say the Dutch scene was very important too. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

| Got to be the USA for me, Morbid Angel being the first death metal band I loved but so many great bands coming along at that time such as Death, Obituary, Suffocation and Immolation to name a few. Sweden would be my 2nd choice. |

US easily, especially Florida. Obituary and Atheist just to name my two favorite death metal bands. Maybe Dutch scene second. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

I forgot the Belgium and Finland scenes  . Sorry about that....and yeah I voted the US scene too. That´s were it all started and some of my favorite old school death metal artists and releases come from the US scene. The UK scene had a few really strong acts too, but they were actually very few. The same can be said about the German, Danish, Norwegian, Finland, and French scenes. I´d argue the Dutch scene was really strong, but of course number two after the US scene is the Swedish scene which spawned several great artists. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Apologies all, I'm totally unqualified to differentiate between the old school death scenes as only I've only been getting into the sub-genre in recent years and I definitely favour the more modern technical and dissosant side (sorry Patrick  ).------------- Star baby, did you deep fry a piece of the Great Barrier Reef? |

Have you heard Acrostichon? Their debut is one of my favorite death metal albums, with some great contrast between almost death-doom and thrashier parts:  http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/acrostichon/engraved-in-black" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/acrostichon/engraved-in-black ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

^I´ve heard of the album, but I haven´t given it a listen yet. It´s on my very long list of what I need to listen to at some point  ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

To be honest, I never really preferred any scene over any other. There were a handful of bands from Florida, but none of them sounded much like each other. You had another few bands from New York who were a bit more extreme. In Scandinavia there were bands who had a similar sort of sound. There were a couple of insane bands from Austria, there was a deathgrind style coming out of the UK, there was some real lo-fi stuff from Brazil, fast shit from Canada, some innovation from Aussie, and a strong, innovative but way underground scene right at home.
Basically, I loved it all. |

I tend to favour tech death, but I guess US. It gave us Death after all. |
