On a normaly day I strictly listen to rap, but I do love The Black Dahlia Murder, and The Acacia Strain.
I dig it on occasion. Not sure why this is in the Hippie/Flashback subforum not the Music/Metal forum. C/S, Rev J
I've never heard of the two bands in the first few posts. Well I've heard the names but not the music. I like my death metal full of blast beats and down tuned to like drop B or something. I like it fast and rough as guts. some of the worst death metal to me is the best death metal and just like my habit of watching b and c grade horror movies I also thoroughly collect the worst death metal out there too.
Melodic Death Metal: Amon Amarth Nile Carcass Fear Factory Brutal stuff I like: Cannibal Corpse Entombed Suffocation Gorgasm Gortuary Aborted Origin Skinless Etc. etc. etc. I can pick most music strictly off the band name and album titles. If they're gory and wrong they usually pretty good. I also like more serious stuff though, spiritual, mythology etc. that's why Amon Amarth is one of my fav. bands. Same as Nile. Not all about smashing hammers into people's faces. Amon Amarth are Vikings and Nile takes themes from H.P Lovecraft, if you like his books you'll like Nile.
If you are into spiritual themes check out Cynic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3eig5K3hdI C/S, Rev J
