The Biggest Asshole I Know always goes on about what a genius Chuck Schuldinger (metal Death) was. So without listening, Detroit Death.

Detroit Death. Not a big metal guy.

to be fair, Chuck was pretty full of himself and has a dumb cult of fans, and Death is nowhere near the best death metal band ever

But Death from Detroit is fashionably co-opted, over rated bullshit. nobody really listens to these guys they just love to make sure you know that they know.

Death from Orlando by a mile.

Co-opted my dick, this is the first time I've heard them in my life. If some white people listening to a band 35 years after they kicked it ruins some notional mystique then EVERYTHING is co-opted. Metal Death bore, Detroit Death are okay. Wouldn't ruin my trousers to catch either.

I legitimately dig the Detroit band's record, but Florid's Death is not without merit.

I would also not ruin my trousers to see either band live, because key members of both bands are dead.

Both are important foundational bands in their genres. I'm more of a metal guy, but I'm not going to pick one over the other here.

I would ruin my trousers if I saw them both playing at the same time.

Death (of Detroit) are great. Kind of a nice fit near the MC5 in the collection. I was quite happy to get this record a little while back. It didn't change my life or anything.
