Anyone else into death metal? To be honest, I only like the old school stuff, but there is a lot of that being produced these days!

    I mostly listen to doom and thrash but I recently found Hellhammer which I’ve been digging. Possessed’s 7 Churches album is awesome. Not sure if those are death? Haha

    Is there an active metal channel somewhere on the fediverse? I was thinking of creating one if there isn’t.

      Those are from the transitional period. Hellhammer, Sodom, Bathory, and Slayer sort of laid the groundwork for death metal; Master and Possessed fleshed it out. By 1985, Sepultura had one version of the finished product, but really Morbid Angel, Massacra, and Deicide finalized the scope of the genre. Great period in history!

      I get a lot of good recommendations following hashtags on Mastodon. I’m subscribed to #blackmetal and there’s new recordings out at least daily.
