And so begins the first step on my journey through death metal's beginnings and trenches, I have decided to take on a project that I wanted to share with all of you. I will be working my way through every death metal release I can find since the very beginning to not only listen to but to review. The purpose of reviewing the albums is to keep track and create a focus on taking the time to truly appreciate the music that I am exposing myself to.
I hope all of you bear with me as I try to fumble through this and forgive me in advance for skipping most demos and many EPs (I would end up trapped in 1988 and 1989 otherwise). In trying to map out an order for albums to review became fairly difficult as release dates for many albums especially early on I was sometimes only able to narrow down to a month or in many cases only a year. This being said, I will review albums in order of specific dates I was able to find and in the cases I was only able to determine the year that they were released those albums will be at the end.
Many of these bands I've been listening to for a number of years as well have been lucky enough to see perform, there are many albums I'm looking forward to re-hashing and attempting to look at from a slightly different perspective for the purpose of this project as the eyes of a reviewer which I have never done before. More than anything however and what I expect to do more of; I am looking forward to this as a learning experience and self discovery, to submerge myself completely in a genre that I have cherished for years to discover new music within its past and learn more about my own tastes and preferences as well.
Please feel free to comment, rate and debate the reviews and the albums that I post. I would love the company along the way for this journey :)
Without further preamble, lets bring on the brutal.
