Adventures in Death Metal: Incantation, Obituary, Carcass

Miley Cyrus' new album artwork

Death metal and I are casually dating. I’m certainly attracted to its chunky riffs but I don’t know if I’m ready for a serious relationship.

Regular readers know I usually go for crusty or sludgy girls, so it’s an exciting adventure to be exploring death metal properly for the first time.

This week I went back to the late 80s/early 90s and dabbled in a little Incantation, Obituary and Carcass.

Death Metal Doesn’t Suck Shock: Acephalix, Vastum and Bones

Lots of bands that bore me shitless. Amazing collage by InfernoSilver.

I never liked death metal.

The unrelenting blasting, the cookie monster growling, the shredding, the grotesque-to-the-point-of-caricature lyrics and artwork have long all added up to a big fat meh for this music fan.

I’ve tried to love Heartwork,  Arise and Blessed are the Sick. I don’t care what you or anyone else says, they are dull as dogshit.
