Certified, Listen to their last four albums: Human Individual Thought Patterns Symbolic Sound of Perseverance(their best album,and one of the best death metal albums ever recorded IMO) |

Hmm. I'll need to check their newer albums out. I own "Scream Bloody Gore" and "Leprosy", and the latter is a bit of a step backwards from "...Gore". I gave up on them when I saw them supporting Kreator without Chuck in the late 1980s - I thought he left??? I'm glad no-one's suggesting that the early albums might be prog - I'd definitely take issue with that. "...Gore" is an outstanding landmark of an album from a time when landmark metal albums were practically the norm; progressive alright, but not prog. Who says nothing good came out of the 1980s? I'll watch those vidz - cheers!!! |

I don't, because I'm not a big enough fan to do them justice. But they've got a higher prog to non-prog ratio than Genesis.
First three albums were creative death metal, next four studio albums
were prog-metal, and 2 live albums that were recorded during the prog
era.

Death definitely belongs here,their work from the album Human onward is definitely proggy.

Death should be here. Control Denied (who are in the archives)
was Chuck's attempt to make a more accessible version of Death...

Death bore me - I can't say why. It's definitely not the growling - 1One1, you're easily bored. I think it's their songwriting - it's just not for me. I only hear complexity for complexity's sake. |

Death IS prog but some people on this forum aren`t as openminded as they say they are...

I always consider Death as death-metal-played-in-intelligent-way from
the "Human" Lp. But I'm sure that the majority of the collaborators and
admins won't hear of it. The only Chuck-related material passed the
"prog-test" here is Control Denied. I wonder what the future of the
archives will be. If every band a reader suggest is admitted (Queen,
Steve Vai, Dillinger, ....), then the acceptance of Death is just a
matter of time.
Erm, it seems Mekong Delta has been rejected. Its page is still here, but not accessible from the band list, because a * has been put before the name *Mekong Delta*. That's too bad! Edited by riversdancing |

I'd say Death are long overdue for a spot on the archives. Yeah, their older
stuff was straight-out death metal, but their new stuff is undeniably progressive death. Feel free to discuss. |
