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... ------------- http://www.lastfm.pl/user/tomash33 - Last.fm |

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. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

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

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

Yep. But who has the guts to add them?

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!!! |

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) ------------- |
