I’m actually cool with the idea with a death metal big 4, especially seeing how there’s so many different scenes and styles across the world, but I’d personally change it from being like the grunge or thrash big 4’s where it’s a concrete list of the same 4 bands to being more subjective, like “Yeah, that’s MY big 4”, and then we’d get all of these interesting results from different people, and we’d also get a lot more of “Where’s MY favorite band?”, so it just gets chaotic
My American big 4 would be Death-Obituary-Suffocation-Morbid Angel, and my Swedish big 4 would be Entombed-Grave-At the Gates-Unleashed
Thanks mate ! Glad you are back 🤟🤟
Swap AtG with Edge of Sanity and i fully agree!🙃🤘
TheSuffocater ... how do you not have a list of how you got all these tones?!?! Or am I missing something?
The Grave Morbid Ascent riff is the sickest of all. Imo.
Indeed! Big 4 should be your personal preference!
These twins should start a band.
Usa wins by a clear margin
NGL. USA al the way
The grand dude knows how to multiply himself😀
The Death Metal Nelson Twins!!!!
I like the fact that they seem very supportive of each other 🤣
This isn't about winning our loosing. It's about showing that metal fucking rules no matter where you're from.
totally agree
Absolutely!
Especially if your from Tampa lol
Hell yeah !!! Best comment ever man. YOU sir, get it.
exactly 🤘🏼
I'm from the United States but damn you got to love that swedish buzzsaw tone. Nothing beats it
it's beefy
Scourge of Iron doesn’t get enough love. That track is a banger.
Definitely
Actually my favourite CC track
What I learned from this video: I need to purchase some Grave and some Unleashed albums.
now the "underdogs", netherlands vs england, lots of great material there: sinister, asphyx, pestilence, thanatos, gorefest vs napalm death, carcass, cancer, benediction, bolt thrower.
OMG YES YES YES!
Sinister!
@@rikard1414 Exactly!
You had me at Carcass.
asphyx is great!
Love them all !!!
You’re a great guitarist!
Same
Me too \m/
Nice video man!!! Fuckin' Death "N" Roll!!! yeah
Me too. Please songs from PROTECTOR ;)
Never really got into UNLEASHED. I guess i'll be getting into Unleashed ASAP.
strarted listening to them about 2 months ago, and now its my daily banger. vape on mate
Holy shit it's Nick 😳😳
last album is very good, great guitar work
Hell's Unleashed is one of my favorits albums, although it's not "old school". Check it out, it's worth it. It's one of the less viking albums but it's really cool.
Huh, fancy seeing you here! Now you are my idol ❤
Death takes the cake. Chucks riffs are legendary.
I agree, other American bands here are no slouch either. One of the rare instances when the riff battle is clearly lopsided.
Death is in my opinion the best american death metal band ever!
So underrated band
Sure but I would never dare to say Trey Azagthoth or Glen Benton riffs(if he made them, for sure hes the mastermind) are not. Everything what we hear here is legendary.
@@abepacana2274 Wha ?? Death is underated ?? maybe in snowflake generation who grow up in FB times etc but not in "old" metal heads.
I'm from Tampa FL. I got to see all those Florida death metal bands on more then one occasion. Late 80's early 90's. Probably seen Obituary the most. Obituary still does one off shows every so often. Since they live in the area. Of course, nothing lately.
Monstrosity rules!!
I hate You😭😭😭😭... From The creadle of Death Metal...🔪🪓🤘🤘🪓🔪
Lived in Florida before but no on Tampa however I used to take trips there, it was fun in the 90’s
The drummer to the band I am in used to hang out with the drummer from Obituary. Did you ever see Gnaw?
I too am from the Tampa/St Pete area. The 80’s/90’s were a sick time to be here. So close to so many great bands! I remember on any given week being able to see Obituary, Deicide, Atheist, Death, Cynic, Cannibal Corpse, Massacre, etc. The list goes on and on.
Speaking of Deicide, they will be playing a small club in New Port Richey in a few weeks with Butler’s new band Inhuman Condition. 🤘🏻
God growing up in Tampa and in the scene it’s so funny to see how big they are outside of here. Shit I went to school with Glen Bentons son and he attended my buddies birthday party lmao.
Anyone else remember going to Brass Tap in Tampa and literally Deicide, Morbid Angle, Death , and Cannibal Corpse was all on the same bill? God those 80-90s records recorded at morsesound were Iconic.
Brass mug? Don't recall a brass tap but haven't lived in tampa in a minute. Last show I saw there was with the absence at the crowbar
@@-SinisterSixT6- yeah the brass mug. Sorry stoned tbh.
As an old-style death metal head, I really missed Edge of Sanity. Swano is equal to Chuck when it comes to genius. For old school death metal riffs, go for Benediction and Obituary :)
Indeed! Edge of Sanity and Swano should have more recognition. His contribution with Bloodbath was flawless as well
Edge of sanity is my first Death metal album... Purgatory Afterglow FTW!
Dan the man🤘
Obituary has the best death metal riffs, hands down.
Indeed, Edge of Sanity should have been in there cuz we, the swedes still mention Edge of Sanity and old Hypocrisy when we talk death metal but we got lots of it: Darkified too is and still are underground.
This might be my favorite battle. I'm so glad I got to live my teen years during this era... I remember going to a concert almost every weekend to see these bands, and it was great that most of the time they would end up on Saturdays! those in San Diego will surely remember the shows at SOMA. Great memories... BTW my favorite death metal album is HUMAN from Death, I remember my jaw dropping the first time I listened to it and how I went through several tape copies of it because I would wear them out from playing them so much. RIP Chuck and Sean.
Thanks for your great comment ! This is the soundtrack of our youth 🤟
Amen brother! We were doing the exact same thing on the other side of the US here in Buffalo, NY. Great to hear from another metalhead.
@@paulbrown9311 Good times indeed, cheers! 🤘
Might just be a weird thing to notice but the way you make the version of you that isn’t playing headbang and sometimes play along seems to stand out because no matter what we’re all bonded by metal in the end and metalheads support each other. Another sweet video dude!
Word !!
Swedish bands got that thiCC tone and groove
yeah, love those crunchy guitars
The HM-2 pedal! The sound of Swedish Death Metal.
@@TheMorganRose Or the HM-300 if you’re cheap like me.
Thats why i listen to such metal
All I heard was the sound of a broken radio, nothing else 🤔
🤭
Great video!!
Hey Simon ! Glad you like this one ! Huge fan of your channel, used a lot of your guitar lessons for my own videos ! Greets from germany !!
Good to see Scourge Of Iron on this list, easily the best song cannibal corpse has made in the past 10-15 years imo
Song absolutely crushes
Scourge of Iron is really underappreciated! Always been one of my favourite cannibal corpse songs
My favorite cannibal song
*insert meme of cat in suit reading the newpaper*
I should listen to Grave.
Anyways, I always find it kinda cool that my country (Sweden) is such a huge musical power house. We have just recently gotten to 10 million in population,and... I havent seen any recent number, but we used to be The worlds 3rd largest exporter of music. I mean sure, absolutley dwarfed by the US and The UK. But still! Pretty cool. And ofc just not metal, but many other genres as well.
🇺🇸 🤘 🇸🇪
Swedish metal is the best metal! 🤘🤘🇸🇪
Agree, but with the note that UK is a small player in Metal nowadays. Obviously if looking back at bands from 70's & 80's it is a giant. And yes they still play live etc. But bands with breakthrough after that(?) My top 70-80 albums of last year contain maybe 2 UK albums way down in the lists. Compared with 8(!) Swedish albums in top 20 within black/death. These lists are of course a matter of taste, but there is no chance UK can hold up the fight against Sweden in new Metal.
There's something about the groove in Entombed that just elevates them for me. Nicke Andersson is a fucking genius.
But great vid, I grew up in Stockholm during these years with Entombed (Nihilist), Dismember, Tiamat (Treblinka) and so on, marvelous times.
Tell us something about that times
This is sick bro awesome job 🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥
Killer riffs, great bands, and awesome execution.
Keep up the good job !
Killer job! I love playing "Guess the Song" with these.
I like how both plays both parts and has both characters root each other on or enjoy the music of the other person. Showing metals wholesomeness
Thank you for featuring Unleashed. .Such an underated band!
This was fun as hell! Great job rippin those riffs too.
All the band I grew up with! Thanks for the great video!
Man, you have so many awesome guitars!
With some pedals ofc
@William Edward's dude, EMG 81 85 4life.
@William Edward's Man, I need to get more experience with different pick ups. I've only owned a handful of guitars and once I got my first decent guitars pickups changed to emgs I couldn't stop.
Morbid angel got me into Death metal still my favorite to this day
Lunatic of God's Creation intro riff is one of the best riffs out there.
Sehr gut! 🤘🏼
Pls more "UNLEASHED", they've got many tasty riffs!🤘🏼
As a swede it hurts to say that riff wise America wins. Sweden has Entombed though, you can't beat that 😁. Nice guitar work!
I'm not too sure those presented are generally considered a 'big 4' either in the USA or Sweden...I'm not going to argue against The US selection (except maybe the tracks themselves). You Swedes should know better I'd think, because you have MANY more interesting bands. Even Opeth qualifies I'd think. Parts of Watershed surely, if nothing else.
@Alf Lifethis stuff here is more like apples to oranges, or how would Americans describe it. Or apples to wrong apples. Problem being, they are pretty good at death. We, Europeans, tend to be into (more) melodic metal. Not to say I have something against 6 Feet Under (I love them) or Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel. Or Brujeria. Or Nile. I have nothing against Messugah (a europen counterpart) either. I think we're worlds apart. As are the continents:)
@Alf Life Don't agree about CoF. They're pretty good. As in 'good musically/arrangement wise, great production and visually impressive' But they are British, so they don't count:) None of the other bands are Swedish. CoB are (sorry, were, RIP Alexi Laiho) from Finland. Others are Norwegians. Mayhem was pretty impressive since and including 'The Grand Declaration of War'. Burzum and other shit like that just doesn't count:) I really cannot understand their 'cult' status. Be proud of Dissection (also, RIP) or Dark Tanquillity instead....
@@Damarenhide I do know better but was judging the riffs TheSuffocater selected to performed in the vid. Also I dont consider myself to represent Sweden in general, if I did I would probably not comment on this at all :)
@Alf Life Well. I bought my first Burzum album in 1993 (a tape), when they were actually unavailable here. A disappointment. Me just being 'true fan of true blackmetal'. Not knowing anything about composition or music then. I still have it, for better or worse. Darkthrone...(also) just does not offer anything musically. I have all their 3 'real albums', as tr00 kvlt blackmetal guys would say. I did not mention Dark Funeral at all. However, they are the best of your list, and Nils Fjellstrom is f-ing unbelievable. So much so that he is frequently seen on '[insert style] drum teacher is damn amazed' videos. Well, all of the former is besides the point. What I originally said: I'm not sure this particular European (or even the US) list is really representative of any 'big 4'. And I said nothing about the riffs played, which are played marvellously.
Sweet that Grave gets some attention, they often get overlooked nowadays.
Then we have Merciless as well, the two first albums are really good.
Had to check Merciless out and man they're REALLY fuckin good! Thanks for mentioning! Love how much awesome stuff you find in youtube comments, like a goddam goldmine 🤘😤🤘
Thanks for another great video!!
been silently watching all of your videos for a few years. Stellar guitar skills
Thanks a lot !
Death's sound really stands out amongst other dm bands. Much more emphasis on melody. That's why they were the best.
I agree, even though they play death metal it was always polished and nice sounding, quite different from the other death metal bands as they sounded ugly and nasty.
Aiden Commandeur it’s just taste brother, honestly I never got into obituary, why? I don’t know, I’m not talking shit or anything but that’s just how it is. It took me around 15 years of listening to death metal to finally get into morbid angel. Domination was the first one that got my attention, then after listening to them for a while, it was the other albums that became my favorite. Music is a beautiful thing, maybe 10 years from now I’ll get into obituary, or maybe I’ll start listening to r&b lol
@@victormiranda4664 dude same with Morbid. I can’t believe it took me this long! But that’s why I love music, and how your opinion of it changes over time.
I too started with Domination then instantly fell in love with Blessed. Now a proper fan!
Formulas is just pure heaven
Jacob Wells Haa!! Formulas is my favorite. I do have to say that I saw them 3 times before I got into them (2 with David and once with Steve) and each time was a sick ass show. Then I got to see them a fourth time with Steve, by that time I was a fan already and they ended their set with nothing is not. It was satisfying.
That is why Death isnt death metal. No brutality whatsoever. Its the precursor to swedish death metal.
Вылечила музыка похмелье!
Волшебно!))кайф))
By far my favourite video, amazing work!!!
Absolutely awesome!!!
It sounds like the drums were actually played by someone. I appreciate that.
Thanks , great you noticed that. The drums are aranged to the original recording, hit by hit , so no click. Gives this natural vibe !
Boss HM2 ALL THE THINGS!!!!
Good stuff here! Nice work, Excellent covers, killer medley!
Into the grave still gives me chills... Good job man!!
Thanks for the reminder to go out and buy some Morbid Angel, finally.
How many Death metal riffs want in this video ?
TheSuffocater: Yes
Lol 😀
You are so talented! Hope to hear more from you.
These battles are what made this my favorite channel, The tone of TheSuffocater is brutal and the songs are spot on, it doesn't get better than this, This dude is a shredder! Damn nice work and thanks for putting this out here!
Thanks for the kind words !
Man, your guitar collection is sweet! I had the chance to buy a Willie Adler camo esp but I went with a razor back instead. Then I sold it because I wasn't a fan of the floydrose. Anyway, there's definitely a stylistic difference between US and Sweden. Seems like the sweeds are more about the trem picking.
Trem picking sounds fuckin rad, so I gotta say, the swedes might be onto something
Goddamn those double kicks on that Deicide song are thicc as fuck, never really been big on Death Metal of any variation, but those 80’s & 90’s bands just had something about them.
Definitely one of the top extreme metal guitar channels on YT. Excellent work!
Thanks for all your time in every video, great job & awesome guitar player 🤘🇨🇱
finally a "vs" video where its the 2 sides not being cringe by fake cringing!!!!!
Swedish bands have a greater feel of melody and narrative, makes their riffs more interesting imo. Like they can stand on their own without any other instruments.
Nope
Death has that same thing I feel. Chuck was an exceptional music composer.
Agreed
America WON again.
@@MetalHeart8787 imo Sweden is better
Thanks for sharing! Amazing job.
Wow! Cool video!😃 Love it!
Death metal is just too damn good
Indecent And Obsene is the perfect death metal record
My all time favorite.
Awesome battle as always! Thanks a lot!
Thanks mate ! Welcome !
@@TheSuffocater 🤟😉
Great sound quality. Nice guitar collection!
Dutch vs Finnish death metal next?
Pestilence, (old)Gorefest, Asphyx and God Dethroned VS Demilich, Adramelech, Demigod and (old) Amorphis? Hard to choose, lots of legendary others as well..
@@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264 Great list!
@@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264 Funebre and Rippikoulu... Cant forget those amazing finnish bands.
@@past543 (Old) Sentenced, Convulse, Mordicus, Abhorrence, Excrement, Wings, Vomiturition, Scum, Depravity... kyllähän näitä riittää ja demo bändeistä nostasin viel sellasen nimen ku Garcharot
As a proud red blooded american I have to say that Swedish death metal as a whole wins out for me. The scene has a special place in my heart, that said, Obituary, Death, Immolation, Morbid Angel and some others are always in my playlists.
YES YES YES YES!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.... OFFICALLY RINGING THAT BELL ICON!
Great bands ,great riffs,great video!I would love to see a the big 4 of U.K. in some of your next videos-Bolt Thrower, Carcass,Napalm Death,Benediction.Cheers from Bulgaria!
Entombed, Dismember, Cannibal and Death are the best for me in this video, I prefer Morbid Angel over Death but the Death riffs you chose are great, especially Zombie Ritual.
Damn, death riffs are too much for the others
Brutal, right?
melodic xd....and technical
So true
Overrated. Stop fanboying posers.
^look out we gotta a "real metalhead" over here..wait
Great work
great job dude!
Best of the best! To Asgard we fly -> The spirit will never die! Jai, danke Suffocater wir höchste Zeit für einen Stufenhaarschnitt - lol
Great job as always., who ever is thumbing these videos down? Seriously get a life ya loser. Absolutely no reason to thumb these vids down. Very well done. An lot of time an effort gone into making them riffs spot on. 🔥🔥
Thanks a lot James !!
I love your videos! Best there is! Keep rockin
Another great video \m/
If Burton C Bell and James May have a baby together.
Amazing riffage!
As much as I love Death, ima have to go with the Swedish DM side. You just can’t beat Left Hand Path and Like An Everflowing Stream. Either way great video! I would like to make a suggestion to do German Tech Death bands vs American Tech Death Bands!
if he plays stabwound.. we all know whos gonna win that battle anyway...
Absolutely brilliant! Apart from Grave and Dismember - I can proudly say that I've seen all the other bands live. Great times 🤘🏽
Awesome fight! (as always)
Damn, had never heard of Entombed before. Every riff from them was bad ass, I gotta check them out!
Kek they are basics of swedish 90s death metal. Early albums were bomb and kickass
And Hedlund who created Unleashed later was on bass in Entombed demos. I reccomend you 1990 Left Hand Path, 1991 Clandestine and 1993 Wolverine Blues, that albums where their producer Skogsberg created that "bzzzzzzz" death metal sound typical for nordic death school
GRAVE!!! \m/ Def my fav Swedish DM Band
I like these videos. Just shows that good music is good music everywhere. keep it up my man.
Really...one of the best YT channel I have subscribed,Carnal leftover at the end is huge!!!
The American side sounds like they all derived from Slayer
because they do
The swedes all sound like they derived from venom, hell hammer, and bathory.
North Americans * U.S are not America for complete.
American death metal is pretty much just Slayer and Possessed with growling.
European death metal is Kreator and Bolt Thrower with growling.
@@jackclayton5620dog... Slayer is derived from Venom.... all extreme metal is derived from Venom
Now do: Dokken, Mötley Crue, Skid Row and Guns N' Roses
Vs:
Europe, Hammerfall, Yngie Malmsteen and Candlemass 😁😁
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@winterfrost99 Hahahaaaaa!!
I knew someone would react like that! Anything with melody is disgusting for you 😂😂.
That's the beauty of being human: everyone has different tastes!
And btw: I do like heavier stuff aswell like: Slayer, Pantera, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest etc.
But it depends on what mood I'm in. Sometimes it's nice to relax your ears to melodic rock.
Anyway keep on rockin'!
Cheers!
Yeah but Candlemass are doom gods...I’ll have me some Demon’s Gate
@@mrmaxaxl Maybe his reaction was only related to Dokken.
Would make sense. That's what rancid kitchy camp cunts cause. 😂
Love it!
Excellent riffs :D and great playing!
Is it Pat O'brien's signature B.C Rich?
It´s a Kerry King signature, just gave it a new colour !!
@@TheSuffocater is there a floyd rose on it?
The late Chuck Schuldiner made our DEATH METAL happen once again all of your performance on all accounts is brutal and true
Nice sounds !!! good job ! great play
Thanks for all the music inspiration and nostalgia🌞 All those guys truly Legendary and Super Dope🙏
Death metal forever!👍
Morbid Angel 🤘
Coming from Norway, I love these videos. I hadn't listened to Death or Entombed in 30-something years (idk, fuck my math) you're REALLY on point. Morbid Angel, holy shit. That's a while ago.
You always have some really tasty picks, sir.
Deicide is my absolute favourite. Lunatic of Gods creation is one of the most evil riffs ever
Legendary fuckin song!
For me i always prefered Deicide over Morbid Angel because of the overall production of the albums, Death is also my favorite. I know im gonna get heat but Morbid Angel was always the lesser of the big 4 for me, and this coming from someone who went to a Morbid Angel concert.
Death is a completely different league when it comes to composition, catchiness, melody and everything else.
Fanboy.
@@vonbl3 antifan lol
It's not about being in a different league, it was Chuck's style. The majority of top early death metal bands had their own distinct style.
That's the beauty of metal. When we are having these so called battles. It's all in good fun really. We're all one big family pretty much.
These are so cool and inspirational.
That Jackson Flying V is a thing of pure beauty
Old swedish death metal arghhhhh
Simply...you are the best!!🤘
Great pick!
