sounRAB like a bad ass show, Amon Amarth is better live than recorded IMO, I've seen em at least 2-3 times and they always rock. but yeah,I got started on Death metal in JR high (around 92-93), Morbid Angel is probably my all time favorite band (they actually considered themselves black metal around 89ish), Obituary, Gorguts and Deicide were my first 3 real death metal banRAB I got into, always liked Death (how could you not??) Necropagist is the motherfucking shit (saw them a little while back), Vader is so fucking good live its not even funny, I got to see them open for Slayer at Wacken open air in Germany, possibly the single most metal experience of my life, 3 days of death black and power metal (and beer). I like a pretty wide variety of death metal though, Anal Blast, Disgorge, Vile, Autopsy (from my home town), Impaled, old Cannibal Corpse, Regorge, Monstrosity , Brujeria, Immolation, Gutted, Decapitated, Burial, Bloodbath, Bolt Thrower etc.
