Cancer - To The Gory End

[rapedbythebeast]

in 84 mantis turned into death possessed had already recorded death metal. i say jeff...but chuck is still in my opinion the one who made death metal what it was to become.

[moparmonster1965]

There's no doubt that Slayer was tremendously influencial in metal, laying the groundwork for Possessed and Death, as was Celtic Frost (Hellhammer).

I don't think there's any way to determine who the first death metal band was because Necrophagia, Death, and Possessed all formed in 1983, and released music the following year, with Necrophagia following in 1985. And there's also Repulsion, who released their first demo in 1986.

[moparmonster1965]

@moparmonster1965 And I forgot the band that got me into heavy music, Rigor Mortis. They were more thrashy, but had the B-horror flick lyrics that would later define death metal.

[jedhasahed45]

greatest cancer song hands down

[mkhedart0mt0avari]

I don't think Dying Fetus are that bad. But I wouldn't call them death metal so much as deathgrind.

[Annotation722]

@mkhedart0mt0avari agreed i don't enjoy Dying Fetus quite as much as most metal i listen to but there Far from being talent less or bad... i mean there are many metal fans that don't like really old school stuff but that doesn't mean there wrong for it? It simply means that for some reason that bands sound isn't pleasing to there ears and who are we to tell someone what to listen to. The fact that we single out individuals for liking certain music just makes us seem closed minded and ignorent.

[slayer666ish]

Death created death metal

[slayer666ish]

The pioneer of death metal is chuck schuldiner from the band death know your history

[AmongTheKreating]

@slayer666ish you are forgetting possessed know your history

[rapedbythebeast]

@slayer666ish Jeff - Possessed!!!!!!!!!!

[ffosterious]

@ffosterious Point being im talking about actual death metal not thrash metal

[fiorentinagr]

where i can find this album??? i am from greece!

[ffosterious]

@22CSX23 see atleast somebody out there knows there music

[JayT851]

The greatest death metal band was and always will be Death .

[ffosterious]

@JayT851 no shit sherlock chuck schuldiner started it all it doesent take a genius to figure that one out

[UristMcgee]

@ffosterious Actually, no. Posessed made Death Metal.

[ffosterious]

@UristMcgee nah i wouldnt say they made it maybe the early wave of the death thrash sound but if it wasent for chuck schuldinerr death metal wouldnt be where it is today

[Siggorillo]

@ffosterious Actually most early Death Metal bands thank Slayer for their inspiration.

Mostly Haunting the Chapel.

[ffosterious]

@Siggorillo wrong slayer is a huge influence for all metal heads but there thrash not death

[Siggorillo]

@ffosterious Uh, yeah and they are basically the biggest inspiration for creating Death Metal. They can still be Thrash for that lol

You said if it werent for Chuck death metal wouldn't be where it is today.

Well he said Haunting the Chapel made them into what they are basically.

[ffosterious]

@UristMcgee thats like saying Venom invented black metal

[dekipopica]

@UristMcgee Actually more NO xD Death and Possessed croossed in making death metal but origin form it black death thrash would be Venom and Anvil really great bands :3

[ffosterious]

@dekipopica Correct.

[yodog678]

Has to be the coolest album cover EVER....

[verymetal86]

Yep... you said it gothdeus, classic back in the early birth of proper order death !!!

I started in 82 and watched the birth of thrash and death, this is a Masterpiece !!

Nu/metal..... Wise up te fk !!! Ha ha ha ha ha !!!!

[nilocke]

that Dawn of the Dead artwork is cracking me the fuck up, I didn't even pay attention to the song. Holy shit it's so awesome.

[gothdeus]

Oh... memories....

[Mwgedd]

Haha, the album cover is an illustration of a shot from the original Dawn of the Dead. That's awesome as hell.

[LaryDuarte1]

\o



[TheGreyHeaven]

This band right here.

[gekkomatic]

Similar to Sepultura...

[andresbombillo]

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I LISTEN CANCER, THIS IS TRUE OLD SCHOOL DEATH METAL

[Detatipaced]

terrible album cover, fucking legendary band

[daywalkermike]

this production ! I fucking LOVE this kind of sound, especially the guitars and the snare, typically end 80s/ early 90s Scott Burns-sound !

[TherionSamael]

is the cover inspired by one of the scene in Romero's Dawn of the Dead?

[andrewlahlum]

@TherionSamael yup! looks like it! knew it was from an old 80s horror flick, wasn't sure if it was that or one of the friday the 13th movies.

[mike1cfo]

Thats Ritchie Valens on the cover, the guy who sings La Bamba

[effrainm]

the guy on the cover looks like Lu Diamond Phillips

[underscoreisnotvalid]

lol, i remember i while ago wondering if theres a band called 'cancer' out there somewhere, and sure enough there is. just about any disturbing/grim word you can think of is a death metal band from somewhere in the world.

[TrafficRiot911]

i really love the album art simple but effectively disturbing, but the most disturbing cover i know is severed survival by autopsy that ones good

[oaklandrmoss18]

@TrafficRiot911 the album cover is dumb as hell u stupid cunt. How dare u have an opinion different than mine you degenerate little prick

[GodListensToSlayerr]

@oaklandrmoss18 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[MrGLaYn]

All hails the golden era of old death metal signatures.

[junkyturd]

Never heard this band but now i am a fan

[slaytanic1982]

hasta el final sangriento....

[daveschmit]

i had this album

[MetalAttack1986]

TO THE GORY END!!!!!! kick ass!! \m/

[filthytruth]

Holy shit I was young when this came out!!!! Oh..to be 16 again!!!

[TMalltheway]

Lou Diamond Phillips is on the cover HAHA

[moparmonster1965]

@TMalltheway This is a painting from a scene in Dawn of the Dead where Tom Savini, playing a biker, bursts into the zombie-infested mall and kills one of the undead with a machete.

[cezzyowen]

Hail Cancer!

[alberthurt1]

dying fetus??

[TerrorizerGrindspeed]

@SlitheringHate that is completely true 

[blues4soccer]

CANCER FUCKING CANCER!!

[DolGoldur44]

What i love so much about the old school death metal feel is the catchiness. the riffs are just catchy. so many death metal bands just can't make riffs interesting or catchy. Death, Cancer, Dismember and Morbid Angel are great catchy old school bands.

[bloodandroll]

spill the blood meets to the gory end slayer and cancer kicks ass

[Thrashkittie]

It's Lou diamond Phillips X)

[dinpepshi]

The intro gives me the creeps

[SuperWolf3d]

thumbs up if u think this should be a friday 13 cover

[cezzyowen]

I really wish the Cancer boys would make a 2nd comeback, hail CANCER

[Freddy3740]

I seriously want death metal to move back to what it was originally. Even if that means it's slightly less technical.

[Spirituality1980]

@Freddy3740 I totally agree with you. What do you think about today's sound production compared to the production on albums like this?

[SuperThrashMetalHead]

Love the riff at 2:00 - 2:11. Makes me wana punch someone

[anoakes92]

nothing beats oldschool death metal like cancer, cryptopsy, baphomet, carcass, CC, and dying fetus

[Marcus666Sund]

@anoakes92 is Dying Fetus oldschool? I thought more about Obituary?

[VeveVikingo]

@anoakes92 your forgot Suffocation

[StaupEimer]

@VeveVikingo And Obituary...

[MetalAttack1986]

[Grindgodgrind]

[MetalAttack1986]

@Grindgodgrind and GR4VE!

[MaggieMedusaable]

[RayWillJohnson]

[pikajesus]

[oaklandrmoss18]

@anoakes92 What a gay fucking album cover. Who sees that and goes FUCK YEAH AWESOME!

[anoakes92]

@oaklandrmoss18 yeah and they actually stole this album cover from the movie Dawn of the dead, this is a still of a scene in the movie where a guy gets a machette in his head

[chaclapa]

@anoakes92 Cannibal Corpse sucks and Cryptopsy is not that old...

[jimmyjoemonkey]

@chaclapa cryptopsy formed in 1988.

[KakashiDominates]

[KakashiDominates]

@OnkelTomAngelripper1

Dying Fetus blows compared to all those other crazy old school bands

Look it up on metal-archives

[ffosterious]

@KakashiDominates fuck you old school death metal is where its at and dying fetus are not pioneers of death metal there more grindcore gore grind structure with breakdowns but they still kick ass

[JayT851]

@ffosterious what the fuck is gore grind? Sub genres are for douche bags shut the fuck up and stop making up new sub genres. Gore grind....thats pretty damn cheesy

[ffosterious]

@JayT851 you must be a fucking moron if you dont know what gore grind is..please do us all a favor go back to listening to justin bieber you have no reason to listen to bands like these and while your at it kill yourself.

[ffosterious]

@JayT851 stupid fucking kids who know absolutely nothing about real metal

[123fetuslover]

@anoakes92 yah, Dying Fetus is are not pioneers of Death Metal, more like the grandchild of Death Metal

[KaBaSpLoOSh]
