Hey


dunno if any of you guys have heard this band, but im becoming a pretty big fan.

Its semitechnical death...kinda in the likes of Bloodbath.

I had never heard of them before...I got a sampler CD from Century Media and it had them on it. Good stuff.

I suggest the album "Bleeding the False" if you intend to take a listen.

yeah i have the album. its pretty decent, but not something i'd listen to all the time.

__________________

fantastic stuff

god gives head in heaven has one of the most vicious breakdowns ive ever heard

__________________

the quasi-Deicide lyrical themes (even cornier to be honest) and the vocals bring them down a couple of notches.

on the other hand, the production is one of the best i've ever heard for a DM album.

whaaa??? the vocals are awesome i think...why dont you like them?

__________________

Haha yeah same here, I always just laugh when listening to GGHIH. I'm not a fan of the vocals either, they're like Behemoth, not really growling but just yelling angrily.

__________________

see MetalThrashingMad post. i feel the same way as he does.

I wish they had a better production.

I havn't had time to check these guys out and have fucked speakers now.

So can anyone describe like what bands they sound similar too?

__________________

They really don't sound like anything I've ever heard, but I can compare their lyrical themes to Deicide.

__________________

Any generic, fairly brutal death metal band nowadays. Severed Savior maybe?

LIES AND SLANDER!!!

Read my original post. I say that they are similar to Bloodbath. However, Bloodbath is kinda the newer face of Death metal. Lyrics you can understand...and the music is semi technical, however not as much as necrophagist.

If you havent heard Bloodbath then you are SOL :P

Fuckin' right on. Severed Savior are ten shades of awesome and their hallowed name should never under any circumstances be uttered in the same sentence as the word "generic" without a negative adverb.

__________________

Actually, under careful analysis of his post, Severed Saviour is pretty much it's own sentance.

__________________

I liked Aeon's previous band called Defaced Creation, now that was some good shit.

how can i hear them

__________________

Well Transient, they are a REAL underground band. Not many have heard them, but if u want an mp3, let me know thru AIM. PM me and Ill send u my screen name.

__________________

They are advertised on the internet, so they cant be underground.
http://metal-archives.com/band.php?...8261ae2ae939a26

That, and I wacked the phrase Defaced Creation into my p2p program and got over 10 hits (Excluding the Punget Stench song) within 3 seconds.
(The only issue here is that, from memory, Transient refuses to use a p2p program)

Oh, and one final thing that ammuses me even more than your underground grind elitism is that you have your AIM screen name in your profile.

that was from the site mentioned above about one of the guitar players in the band

underground elitism?
lol.... As far as Defaced Creation not being undeground, how can u say that? Hardly anyone has heard about them except for the ol' folks into the swedish death metal scene. All of the new kids in the genre never heard of them.

Bleeding the False was also the weakest Aeon material ever. The guitar tone is weak and trebly, but when u listen to their previous effort Dark Order; its a continuation of the previous band Defaced Creation. I hope on the next album Aeon get a better sound.

I'm not talking about Severed Savior, screw them. MTM was actually right about them and their generic metal. I was just defending Aeon's originality.

__________________

Deicide > Aeon

Carved in stone, don't forget it.

__________________

as much as people might disagree, "Legion" shits all over anything Aeon can ever dream to record.

Too true, Legion is a fucking classic.

__________________

not too fond of deicide at all. Decent tunes, but not what im into as a christian.

__________________

i tried to stay out but

LEGION SUCKS. its fun for once in a while but its mushy and uninspired. their debut is better. and imo, bleeding the false > legion!!!

tell me on what grounds you think legion is better. if its originality ill give to legion no doubt

__________________

i've never heard Aeon, but legion is fuckin ace. probably my fav deicide.

__________________

WORD!

__________________

Well, I haven't heard Aeon outside of a powertab or two, but Severed Savior are in no way generic in the way that, say, Liturgy are.

__________________

Because it's a classic and it's just fucking awesome. Legion was one of the first and best death metal albums I've ever heard. I can't just pass off it's sentimental value to some other satanic death metal band that happens to sound a lot like deicide. I'm not saying I don't like Aeon, they're fucking great I've been listening to them quite a lot lately, but they fail to surpass the the greatness that is DEICIDE!!

__________________

Well they definitely lack originality.

__________________

Liturgy OWNS!

They need to re-release Dawn of Ash!

__________________

Liturgy is actual more original than Severed Savior, how ironic.

__________________

That album has one of the shittiest guitar tones I have ever heard.

that whole album makes brodequin sound like they recorded with a multi million dollar budget

__________________

Damn right, Alvaro. In addition, the whole album appears to be made up of one riff:

|------------------|
|------------------|
|------------------|
|-------5----------|
|-3-4-3-3-3-4-3-2-|
|-1-2-1---1-2-1-0-|

...which then gets tremelo'd after four bars.

...And Liturgy are more original (and less generic) than Severed Savior? Sure, SS are hardly Wormed-like in their originality, but they certainly don't succumb to the worn out cliches that befall so many other brutal death bands.

[Tim: I've changed my mind on Disgorge's generic leanings, too]

That is basically just a propaganda post. You could say pretty much the same thing for every death metal genre. I could say that a lot of techical death metal bands (including Severed Savior) just play a bunch of wanky riffs and have zero song writing riffs. For melodic death metal I could just say that every song has a structure riff and a lead played over it, which is what a lot of melodic death metal bands do, like In Flames. You see? the door swings both ways. I wasn't saying I like Liturgy but their crapiness actually makes them more original because you can actually point them out of a lot of brutal death metal bands, I don't think I could with Severed Savior in their category. I'm also not saying I don't listen to technical death metal, it's one of my favorite genres.

__________________

I don't think it's a "propaganda" post at all. The rest of your post backs this up as you say it can apply to all genres. Hence my post does not permeate a myth or falsehood, but a fact that generic bands tend to play the same tired riff ad infinitum and are then copied by other generic bands who follow suit. Liturgy just happened to be the example I was thinking of at the time.

I can't think of another band who compose riffs like Cryptopsy, or Suffocation or Nile or one who utilizes counterpoint quite as well or melodically as Gorgasm. Nor can I think of a band that's as crazy as Goratory or as discordant as Gorguts. All of these bands eschewed the truisms relating to the dross of their genres as do, I believe, Severed Savior simpy because I can hum their tunes all day - both brutal and "wanky" parts alike.

Well, that's my opinion and I ain't shifting from it. I wouldn't expect you to shift from yours either so we'll chalk it off to subjectiveness.
