Death. Arise is a great album, but its also the only album of theirs that I listen to regularly. Meanwhile, I listen to Symbolic and Patterns religiously.

Too hard to decide because their genres are completely different and both are bands of my liking. In this case I can't compare them and choose just one. I listen to them for completely different reasons.

an out of topic question
is svenska easy to learn ? (since you're from chile)

Hahahaha funny poll! death wins by far, not because they are one of the pioneers of death metal, not even because they have not bad albums and not because they are more technical, better musicians and have many "complete" albums or you can call the masterpieces. they are better just because they have created much more wonderful music...

Im noticing a trend of threads pinning up sepultura against other bands i wonder why?

Its the ONLY cover death did, coz they're an original band who dont play covers, but i watched in an interview that chuck wanted to do a cover version of his favorite songs in his last album (before he dies), so that explains why they made a cover song. and it's not among the worst, its as good as the judas priest version.

Actually Death also covered KISS's Thunder God. It's included in the Japanese edition of Human.

As far as this topic in general, MetalFist, just tell me why we are comparing these two bands?

I just wanted to see who people preferred, as alot ( i have noticed ) say that Sepultura's older stuff is better than any death album, and i just wanted to see peoples opinions on the two. If you think this is a waste of the forums, feel free to delete it, like i have said before.

Death are amazing. Also are MetalFist and fists of metal similar names? Especially since bother are around the same age and both from australia. Probably just coincidence i guess

Were actually friends from school who are both on the forums. He didnt want to think of a name so he basically copied mine.

I figured that would be the case. I got no one i know on this site. Stupid non-metal bastards

I choose Death, they had better musicianship, consistency, more depth, and more imagination. Where as Sepultura was basically civil war and tribal dances. Sepultura has 2 classic albums at most (BTR and Arise) where as EVERY Death album is a masterpiece (and yes that includes Spiritual Healing).

Well this is not pointless pool, because Sepulture has been true style changes, but death played all albums same style, ok lil changed but still, I like Sepultura in 80's era, but death all albums so . Death

Its hard to decide coz they're both great bands, and also coz they play different genres of metal.. however, if post-max sepultura is included then i'd definitely go for death... i only liked sepultura when max in it.

Written by Dangerboner on 29.10.2010 at 18:27

I gotta go with Death. While I prefer a few Sepultura albums to anything Death has done, Death is much more consistent and I enjoy every album they have made.

Actually none of the comments says that sepultura's albums are better than death's (except maybe the last one, dangerboner) .. all of us praised sepultura's old albums while still praising death and saying that all death albums are masterpieces. i'm yet to see someone who prefers sepultura to death... and the result of the poll makes it pretty obvious how popular death is.

11 people prefer Sepultura to death, if you look at the results.

Death For Sure R.I.P Chuck Schuldiner

Those doesn't count because there are from this topic. I wanted to see comments OUTSIDE this one that gave you that idea. Therefore: I fail to see the reason of this poll to be more than jsut completely trivial and pointless.


Meh, Everyone to each own though.

DEATH !

Always give detailed opinions, with explanations and as much as information as needed. If you're gonna answer the topic "Mayhem vs Marduk" with "MAYHEM!!!!!", you can count the days till you get banned. That's just spamming.

i love you XD

No reason to compare, they are too different.
This has no sense IMO.

Different types of metal- but I would go with Death

Why Death VS Sepultura Didn't get what this topic about, what's next Marduk VS Anthrax?

Hey I have a new poll topic: Nightwish VS Cannibal Corpse

WTF.. :0 Worse topic ever!

You cannot compare these two because Death is death metal and Sepultura is thrash metal and the two bands are really in entirely different veins...

Ok, if everyone hates this poll for some reason, feel free to delete it. Idc.

Man don't take things to seriously...It's just that comparing apples with oranges goes nowhere cause we already know that they are very different fruits and therefore you can't compare 'em usefully. Comparing a good apple with a bad apple or a good orange with a bad one, that can do. If you had compared a proggy death/thrash band like Death with a similar band like Atheist, then it would have made sense. You could have compared Sepultura with, let's say, Sodom, Kreator, Destruction as I always felt their early sound was closer to German Thrash than American thrash, except for Slayer, maybe.

I just mean, i think that this forum topic is redundant and pointless (comparing two bands in diff genres) and is pointless, i would just rather it gone.

Tough one to decide.

On one hand, my favorite Sepultura songs and albums are way more enjoyable to me than any of the Death I like.

On the other hand, Death was consistently awesome, whereas Sepultura went into suck mode after Max left.

I chose Sepultura. If I were stranded on some crappy deserted island and had to choose albums to take.. Sepultura would probably be in there.

I don't really think that Death and Sepultura are too different, once you consider their styles when they started out... Death started out as strictly death metal, with Scream Bloody Gore, and Sepultura's first releases were the EPs of Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions, which are often put together and just packaged as a full album... which was also death metal.
I'm not really partial to the early work, such as the aforementioned, but if you listen to them and compare, they're pretty similar. For that reason, I don't consider it to be such a far-fetched poll to put these two bands against each other. Sure, they took obviously different directions. The one that I prefer would be Death. Sepultura's music is great... up to Roots/Blood Rooted, but you've got to think that just putting Chuck against Max, it's Chuck, hands down. Chuck had an amazing amount of talent and always tried to tap into a new unexplored realm of sound with every album. You could hear his sound evolve. Max, on the other hand, seemed to only devolve, as his rhythm playing became more and more groove oriented and less complicated. Also, Max's material seemed to become unfocused and stale, to me. When he went to Soulfly, I think I would've been pretty confused and wondering what all the pissed off lyrics were about, had I not viewed the album art and gathered that his stepson had been killed. It just seems to me that he could slow down and really think about the lyrics, instead of sounding like he's just banging his head on the wall before he writes a song.

Death

Sepultura never really impressed me

SEPULTURA and Death are my best - loved bands, but after departure Max from SEPULTURA I'm is forbore listen.
Therefore I prefer DEATH - now is the best for myself band in the world!

Death for sure, they are both awesome bands though! Sepultura is still good though, but Death just has better song structures and a little more exciting than Sepultura.

Death VS Sepultura?! :O To compare Death and Sepultura it's like compare day and night:D

How Is This a Question? Death hands down!
