Death's "Live in L.A. (Death & Raw)" should be in The Infinite

First Post May 01, 2023 02:03 AM

There's simply no way known that Death's classic 1990's albums shouldn't qualify for The Infinite & this live album fits much more comfortably under a Progressive Death Metal label than it does a Technical Death Metal one so it's no exception. When you look at them closely you'll find that tracks like "Spirit Crusher", "Crystal Mountain", "Zero Tolerance" & "Empty Words" are closer to Progressive Metal than they are a variation of Death Metal so I'd like to see "Live in L.A. (Death & Raw)" added to The Infinite under the Progressive Metal genre.

This nomination has been posted in the Hall of Judgement.

I decided to give this live Death album some listening and a review to once again test out my interest in the band. The performance is highly focused on the band's 90s progressive/tech-death era, with only two songs from their 80s standard death metal albums. A lot of the progressiveness can be found in songs from the band's last two studio albums which cover over half of this release. So this entry is definitely getting a YES vote from me.

This Hall of Judgement entry seems to be going in only one direction with the current vote tally sitting at YES 5 NO 0 so I've decided to pass it. The release has now been changed to reflect the new position under both The Horde & The Infinite with the Progressive Metal genre having been added.
