Since rap GOAT gets a shit ton of views, let's ask a more relevant question, who's the greatest death metal band? For pure influenence and impact I'd say "Deicide" even though they fell off their recent releases...

Opinions?!?

Obituary, Death or Deicide. All solid choices.

Skeletor · « **Reply #2 on:** May 11, 2013, 10:49:21 PM »

Morbid Angel (aside from Illud Divinum Insanus), Cannibal Corpse, Deicide and Death are obvious choices. But for me, overall I'd say Nile.

BB related:

Jon Vesano (ex Nile)

Eric Hoffman (ex Deicide)

Suffocation, Nile, or Morbid Angel.

Never really got into DM per se, but I've must've given Symbolic by Death a 1000 combined spins since I first discovered it a decade back. Death really are pretty much the only "technical" Death Metal band (as opposed to Melodic Death and similar bastardisations) I've enjoyed.

Most of them are not death metal

Here's my small list

Vader
Decapitated
Dying fetus
Mystery index
Deceide
Suffocation
Nile
And a lot more

Schuldiner (RIP) got me into Death and then Death Metal and I still love every album so I'd have to go with Death.

Pull the Plow?! Hahaha....wtf?

I know these guys are technically Black Metal, but they still rule.

influential I'd say Death and Morbid Angel, but my personal favourites are Nile, although I once emailed their original drummer off Catacombs and he attributed a lot of their sound and influence to Morbid Angel, who's drummer he basically worships.

Plus GOAT would have to be a Florida band not a South Carolina band I guess?

P.s. I met Karl Sanders he was really cool!

Raymondo · « **Reply #18 on:** May 12, 2013, 05:28:04 AM »

American: Morbid Angel

European: At the Gates

Raymondo · « **Reply #19 on:** May 12, 2013, 05:29:44 AM »

Since Death got mentioned...

In September 1999 I sent £50 (all the money in the world to me then) to Chuck Schuldiner for his operation. Poor bastard died a few months later.

Raymondo · « **Reply #20 on:** May 12, 2013, 05:36:17 AM »

Morbid Angel have had more influence on other death metal bands than anyone, so that classifies them as GOAT.

Death were too progressive for anyone to follow their style.

Nile have been the best for a decade now, but they got most of their shit from Morbid Angel and built on it.

Deicide are a very hit and miss band imo, their first couple of records set them apart but they have some really shitty records too.

You have to be mentally disturbed to listen to that crap.

Yes, you are one.

Death, FTW. R.I.P., Chuck.

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #23 on:** May 12, 2013, 06:20:23 AM »

everyone always mentions the tampa bands like morbid angel and deicide, but it's like incantation and immolation get forgotten constantly. WTF dudes.

the names that really battle for GOAT in death metal are suffocation, incantation, and morbid angel. cannibal corpse probably wins for pure consistency, but CC doesn't have any albums like effigy of the forgotten, onward to golgotha, or blessed are the sick.

if you wanna talk some heavyweights of the modern era, there's always portal, ulcerate, antediluvian, disma, behemoth, a bunch of others.

also don't forget some older forgotten gems like demilich or disembowelment.
