Speaking of Death, original members (Terry Butler and Rick Rozz) formed Left To Die, carrying on the early Death sound.

This track could be straight off Leprosy or Spiritual Healing:

Speaking of death...

Young high school punks... I was listening to this shit in the 90s. How the fuck do zoomers know about Death?

To be fair...metal heads are much more prone to explore older music and even different genres than your pop babies do. Regardless of generation. We all at least have that in common.

Death metal has quite a few legends and Chuck is at the top of the (crystal) mountain.

Half the cast is new so this project should be interesting. I really dig the song and think it very much still feels like the ocean

It's still a little synth heavy and meandering for my taste (and Staps is a way better lyricist when he sticks with more abstract stuff like Pelagial or Phan, not when he does Reddit politics like Holocene or Anthropocentric), but I do think it's a leg up over most of the stuff on Holocene. I'll give the album a chance since it's a fresh iteration of the band.

I think I'm in the minority of people that like synths in my metal songs.

Other than the occasional heavy riff, it doesn't seem very "metal" to me at all.

IMO The Oceans "metal" sound comes from the type of chords they use. I think its like E minor scale and drop D tuning but I can't say for sure its just a certain sound that sound dark, ambient and like you're falling into an abyss. Its definitely not thrash or death. More the emptiness, loathing, bewilderment type of metal.

However I can see why 90% of people would feel this way that's why I originally posted that in the what you're listening to thread.

The heavier tones sound to be in the drop B, maybe C zone. But don't know for sure. Their other tuning for albums and songs tend to hover around B.

This however is most certainly metal. It seems each album they release gets better.
