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.

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!

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

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

Two music videos, keep in mind that these are the *singles*.

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

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.

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!!!

Human

Individual Thought Patterns

Sound of Perseverance(their best album,and one of the best death metal albums ever recorded IMO)
