Sorry about that. The link is old. And, since you're talking about this article--which I wrote, by the way--I thereby assume you are talking to me. That's a pretty nice example of the transitive property, don't you think? I actually checked out those bands you listed too. It's been a while since I've heard new Death Metal I liked. Here are my thoughts. Cruciamentum - These guys are pretty fucking sick. What I could find on Youtube, I liked a lot. Corpsessed - How do you pronounce this? "Corpses-Ed"? "Corp-sessed" like obsessed? Whatever. I think this is my favorite of the bands you listed. Leave it to the Finns to make some awesome shit. Disma - These guys are pretty good too. Not the best, but solid, certainly. Their guitar tone is very much Entombed circa Left Hand Path. Vasaeleth - Meh. Not that good. Miasmal - This is one of two bands I could find on Spotify. I like them, but they are more of an Entombed knock-off than Disma. Not that I disapprove of that; I don't. I love Entombed. But I've heard this record before. In 1991. Funebrarum - These guys are pretty sick too. I would pay to see these guys live. Not much, but, you know, a little at least. Maybe if they opened for The Magnetic Fields or something. Cemetary Urn - These guys belong on Nuclear Blast in 1993 alongside Mortification and General Surgery. Kind of a cool goregrind thing going with them too. Pretty cool. Cryptborn - This was the other band on Spotify. This record went straight into my Death Metal playlist AND I shared it with a friend who had sent me Teitanblood a while back. Now, there is a great band you should check out if you haven't yet. http://open.spotify.com/album/25EaVVYGp6Z4R7Mpsjtrya Pretty awesome. Enjoy your time here!

We need a "label" to seperate bands like Cruciamentum, Corpsessed, Disma, Vasaeleth, miasmal, Funebrarum, Cemetery Urn, & Crytpborn from the never ending stream of polished up nu-commercial garbage, and morrisound shit called "death metal" these days. Fuck you... if you ain't got the mentality DON'T ENTRY. The scene doesn't need "metalhead" dorks like you. Stick to suffocation, hate eternal, and dying fetus. We don't need to be saturated with metal hobbyists who will never understand. You don’t know shit about anything you dumb fuck.

There's no question to even the most lay listener that death metal from 1987 sounds different from death metal from 2011. Production is better, over all the performances are better, and it's backed by 25 years of history. But, my point was that the genre itself hasn't changed so much to warrant slapping a new label on it, nor has it disappeared from the face of the scene to be later resurrected with a new appellation. And I absolutely agree with you: give me sick riffs, punishing beats, and brutal as fuck execution and I'll take it with joy. Of course, there is some evolution of death metal as a genre.

Back in the day it was about heaviness and how fast they play. Same thing applies today but with a brutal twist. I guess the difference between new school and death metal is that there's this core metal element that I think a lot of people aren't really into these days. Some are purist and still others want to see the boundaries stretched and crossed. Just give me good riffs and great live shows and bleed metal and your ok in my book. No matter what the fuck you play. Thanks for letting me have my two cents.(sick of the metal core break downs and lyrics about high school problems) Just don’t forget the brutality no matter what kind of metal you play.

There is Death Metal, and Technical Death Metal. Death Metal: Brutal riffs, mind blowing killer live sets and unreasonably angry people playing damn good Death Metal. (Using "death metal" to describe itself not a strong point.) Technical Death Metal: HARD FUCKING WANKING, but with some cool stuff thrown about. I primarily agree with The Wizard though.

Clever to the point and entertaining, with an obvious knowledgeable grasp of your subject. As Devy says "things are just things". If it's heavy and you like it who cares what it is. All these categories/sub-genres change over time in the 80's we called Slayer, and Possessed Death Metal/Thrash/Speed, even Coroner and Celtic Frost were called Death Metal (amongst other things like Avante Garde). I remember when bands where called Techno/ Tech Metal, now they're called prog. Anyway I enjoyed the read! Keep it up. This is the best piece of writing I have ever read online.
