"Once you get an ear for this... you hear how masterfully crafted it is." Couldn't say it better myself. Death metal and its various subgenres can surprisingly hold some of the most capable and competent musicians and composers of our time.

Seriously. Mors Principium Est /Dark Tranquility/Carcass/Allegaeon/ Insomnium et al would just absolutely blow your mind! It's taken me 30 plus years to FINALLY accept "harsh" vocals. The music is where it's at. I can't believe how long it took me to accept "death" metal particularly "melodic death metal." To my ears Carcass is absolutely spectacular . Their newest album is the perfect combo of HEAVY BLUES mixed with MDM. Check out "The Scythe's Remorseless Swing " off of Carcass's "Torn Arteries" from 2021. And I consider their seminal "Heartwork" album one the best METAL albums of all time. Absolute sonic perfection. I honestly just discovered all the artists besides Carcass only in the last year. Once I accepted the harsh vocals that was all she wrote. Check out Dark Tranquility if you haven't yet. Soilwork. Scar Symmetry. In Mourning. My ears have finally opened and my heart soon followed. I used to tell folks in the 90s to check out the band Carcass and the "Heartwork" album cause they honestly make the Metallidudes and MegaDave sound like Simon and Garfunkel. So. So SO friggin heavy but SO GOOD. Still..I didn't like Jeff Walker's growl. It honestly took me till THIS year to realize not only do I love Carcass but I NOW think Jeff is my favorite extreme metal vocalist. Lol. I'm 54 btw and I'm absolutely in love with mdm and technical death metal. I embraced metal for the first time when I heard "Blackout" by the Scorpions. Last show I saw pre-covid was Maiden in Houston on the "Legacy of the Beast" tour. My bucket list now includes Carcass along with Alter Bridge.

The latter years of Death I always considered them to be kind of the "Tool of Death Metal" if that makes any sense. They progressed the genre in ways that few other bands in that era were doing. So much of the scene kind of devolved into trying to either "out-tech" each other, or "out-brutalize" each other. But Death did their own thing, retaining their sense of melody in the way that an old school British Heavy Metal band would have. Their discography in the 90s ended up being like Iron Maiden's discography in the 80s IMO. That same high quality of stuff one album after another. Also -- that drummer is Gene Hoglan. One of the greatest metal drummers ever. You've heard him in the newer Testament songs you've listened to. Total badass.

Death and Carcass made their best albums in more or less same time. I was lucky to see them both at one show in '93. Man... You can imagine...

Death - scavenger of human sorrow , or flattening of emotions. Both are bangerz !! 🤘🤘

This is the first Death song I ever heard. One of my friends at the university (who was very much into thrash and doom but not at all into death metal) told me that I "just have to hear that - it's so incredibly technical and beautiful!" I remember sitting at his couch, listening to this song and just nodding my head, grinning like an idiot because this was so unbelievably skillful and enjoyable. "Symbolic" instantly became the first death metal record I bought (followed by quite a couple others, of course ^^). Over time I came to realize that I slightly prefer "Leprosy", "individual thought patterns" and "human" over this one but "symbolic" still stands out as one of the undisputed classics in my metal collection. - just as Death stand out as one of the most unique, creative, skillful and jawdropping bands I ever listened to. There are quite some other death metal bands that are perhaps faster, more brutal, more technical, more progressive and so on ... but Death is - in my opinion - the epitome of merging skill, heaviness, melody, brutality, philosophy (oooh yes, read those lyrics!) and enjoyment into one seamless, jawdropping extreme music experience.

Interesting choice with your favorite albums from these guys. I always put Scream bloody gore, Leprosy, and Spiritual healing in one category. That being their angry, young larval phase. Human was the pupate record. Individual thought patterns was the adult butterfly flying and looking good. Symbolic must have been the act of butterflies fuckin..... mating, obviously. Then the sound of perseverance was the post coital twilight phase prior to the end but as dumb as butterflies are for an analogy regarding such a killer fucking band, it's that there was that chrysalis moment and then full color, fully able band just soaring, totally un-incumbered by gravity.

Human 🤘🤘🤘

R.I.P. Chuck. I’m not the biggest death metal guy but Death is one of my all time favorites. Slowly they got more and more progressive and Chuck always had lyrics more about the human condition and life itself as apposed to blood guts and demons. Lol. If you go through the discography he starts off with stereotypical horror on the first album than slowly start to find him become more introspective about his own views of the external world and his emotions and views on humanity. He becomes extremely poetic and we see not just his views but him and who he was himself growing and becoming ever so wise. Absolutely a dive bomb of a band to get into. They have captured my soul for sure

Nice reaction dude. I was lucky enough to see Koelble play this solo with Death To All in Strasbourg a couple of years ago. For me his solo on this track is easily in the top 10 metal solos of all time. It has an ethereal tonality to it, over the killer riffs.

Death may have a perfect discography , each album was different and evolved later on but every one of them is so good on their own , i enjoy the last albums more , its more melodic and proggy , i also enjoy Chucks higher pitched voice later on, Death may be founders of Death metal but imo they are unique

Man, I LOVE your reactions, you're not the typical boring "It's great, it's great, it's great..." You really seem to enjoy the music so authentically and you don't need to pause it and say it every 20 seconds hahaha. Thanks for reacting, cheers!

Death - Lack of Comprehension Bolt Thrower - Through the Eye of Terror Cynic - I'm But a Wave To... Morbid Angel - Where the Slime Live Vader - Wings People may whine about their favorites but as far as death metal goes - those 5 are some real ones.

This entire lineup of this band was incredible! There’s Death Metal, then there’s DEATH.. 🤘🤘🤘 R.I.P. Chuck!!! One of the best to ever do it!!

Awesome video man. Love Death! Chuck was a legend and Gene Hoglan was a beast on drums! i recommend checking out Trapped in a Corner or Crystal Mountain 🤘🤘

I've really been getting into listening to Human and Individual Thought Patterns again lately and GODDAMN what absolute savagery those albums contain. I feel like the older I get the more I appreciate what this band did and the trail that Chuck blazed specifically. I always appreciated the technical levels going on but like you said, I've really come to love the compositions as musical works of art because that's exactly what they are.

I remember back when this album first came out I was a bit bummed out by the more digestible riffing. It wasn’t brutal enough for me especially considering the climate at the time was to be as extreme as possible. Over the years I have really come to love this album and the amazing lyrics. May Death never die...

RIP Chuck 😪🤟✌️🤘🍻

Here are some death metal songs, you can't go wrong with: ENTOMBED - Left hand path MORBID ANGEL - Maze of torment DEATH - Altering the future NOCTURNUS - Lake of fire CANCER - Cancer fucking cancer OBITUARY - Chopped in half BOLT THROWER - World Eater CANNIBAL CORPSE - Skull full of maggots MORGOTH - The Afterthought (instrumental) DEICIDE - Carnage in the tample of the damned

Love your words, dude. Is truly a piece of art.

bought the album as soon as it was released. nowadays i prefer the sound of older death albums like leprosy. you should react to the song left to die from the death leprosy album.

Yesssssssssss! Lyrics are deep, guitar solos clean and technical! I personally like the older growling voice of chuck in Leprosy, Spiritual Healing and Human ... albums. Great reaction and you are right, you have to get use to the shock of different. Only then you will hear the musicianship, lyrics of real life issues and the gain you will get in the gym while rocking out! Metal ON Bro!

+The Adventures of TNT First time seeing you, really enjoyed this reaction to an excellent song from a fantastic album. Subbed.

It makes me very happy to see you’re enjoying one of my favorite Bands so much 😊

This was the first Death track I ever heard, maybe 4 or 5 years after Chuck's passing. At the time, I don't think I knew how to process it. I never heard anything as fast and complex. It would'nt be until about 2016 when I really started to dive deep into their discography, and I have to say Symbolic is one of the greatest albums ever composed. Not only is the musicianship top-tier, the lyrics are very insightful and meaningful. For an album quickly approaching it's 30th anniversary, it still sounds incredibly fresh and current.

As much as I love the sound of perseverance, symbolic is death’s masterpiece. It’s literal perfection 🔥🔥 Chuck will never be forgotten 🔥🔥

Masterpiece !! album to listen to from start to finish

Death - Secret Face

The best band you'll ever hear, they set the bar for eternity

As someone who’s entering adulthood, these lyrics hit WAY to hard

Heavy metal is something special.

Death is absolutely awesome! Each album is different while still keeping itself to it's core. I can not name a bad Death album or song. But maybe listen to some of their old stuff? Requests: Death - Open Casket Death - Pull the Plug Death - Defensive Personalities Death - Suicide Machine Death - In Human Form You should honestly just listen to them all. This was just a few that I thought of. Keep it up!

You should give "1000 Eyes" (it's very pertinent to our times) or something else from Symbolic a go. Great stuff all around. Have a great Thanksgiving out there!

I recommend checking out Edge of Sanity and the song Enigma from 1992. A Swedish death metal band who was lead by Dan Swanö who at the time was also a huge part of the whole Swedish underground metal wonder in the 90s. Almost every great album was recorded in his studio :).

Oh yes! Death is in my top 5 metal bands, they are perfect.🤘🏻 Please check out a track from my favorite album called "Individual Thought Patterns", the name of the song is "Trapped In A Corner" or do "The Philosopher".🤘🏻😍

I remember the very first song I ever heard from this band was Spiritual Healing. My buddies and I thought we were listening to hard shit jamming out Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Testament, etc. Then my friend's uncle pops in this bands cassette and Spiritual Healing was the song that played. It was the first time we ever heard anything like this. We were absolutely blown away. Never had we heard anything that heavy before. That was like 30 years ago. Haha.

Just coming across this now - Death is one of the absolute best ever. Your positing of this style of music being akin to art, to be absorbed as whole, is so spot on. Horns up sir, and I'm smashing that subscribe!

RIP Chuck... Peace!

I subscribed to you JUST because you reviewed this album.

You can literally hear the passion he putted in his music while listening to it

Beautifully said. To the untrained ear or novice listener they'd say this sounded like nothing more than just noise. But it's very skilled and technical musicians/craftsmen creating art or a piece of art as you said.

the solos in this song rip your hearth out, the riffs (especially the first one) break your bones. Masterpiece from first to last note. And we are not even talking about those meaningful and deep lyrics...

Pure joy on your face when you're listening to this, reminds me off when most of us "metal heads" heard this, personally I heard this 15 years back for the first time.

Great reaction. I think my favourite song by Death is 'The Philosopher.' Honestly, it blew me away years ago and it still stands the test of time. The MV for that one is insane. For someone with such an abrasive and powerful singing voice Chuck Schuldiner (RIP) was by all accounts a very kind person. Notably you'd find plenty of pictures of him wearing a t-shirt with kittens/cats on. People mocked him relentlessly for it but he didn't care, he loved animals too much. Google 'Chuck Schuldiner cats' and some great pictures pop up, including with his dog. He was technically gifted and really was ahead of his time in so many ways I think. Especially since metal in the 80s/90s was traditionally very macho.

A few listens to learn the songs and this band gets better and better every time. Also please react to Leprous 'Slave' or " Contaminate Me' either one live at Rockefeller music hall.

The bass tone on this album is so sick
