Is "Darkified" even a word? LOL! As I look at the similar artists, "Goddefied" doesn't seem like a word like "Darkified." Yeah, Darkified kicks ass.

Looks like Wolfsbane Records will release Cthulhu Riseth on vinyl. I hope Swanös remastering won't suck...

Haha that's so much fun! At least thanks to me this shoutbox's got some style, it's better than your usual "Darkified FTW[56798]" or "So brilliant and underrated". Glad I came back here. I just can't help being awesome. Check out the next thread on Rippikoulu or Sempiternel Deathreign. ;)

Yeah, and a lot of them aren't. I agree with most of what has been said about Darkified - they were truly an amazing band and created some of my favourite death metal of all time, but there's seriously only a handful of other demo bands (at least that I'm aware of, and I'm aware of a lot) that the same can be said for. And if these demo bands did actually release full-length albums, they probably wouldn't be as good as their demos (see Nihilist/Entombed, Crypt of Kerberos, Afflicted Convulsion/Afflicted, etc). I see so many lists floating around telling people to check out all these obscure demos by bands no-one ever gave a shit about and they're usually average as fuck.

A lot of these demo-level Swedish bands are better than their full-length-releasing counterparts. I'd rather listen to Darkified and Septic Grave than Entombed or Ceremonial Oath, for example.

Pseudo conclusions: - Honourable deathmetallers must have old age. - Blogspot is a trend Google service to help those who have access to music judge as posers those who haven't. - We need to act like @eklektiktastes to be a proud, vivid, experienced and dictator deathmetaller. - My visions about the world are the rule who dictate the reality. I respect when you said Darkified isn't a band on which you admire, but you are trying to undeserve the merit of another bangers enjoy their music. Show your reasons about dislike Darkfied's music, but in a not so offensive, intrusive and dishonorable way, despising the musical taste of the others. His experiences aren't (necessarily) the right ones to others. Horns up!

there are many great bands that never received much attention..and to say the only reason is that they are undeserving is fucking ridiculous. i may not like darkified as much as most of the other people here but i'd rather listen to them before cannibal corpse, obituary etc any day. early death metal demos display more originality and variety than most of the 'standard' death metal bands that everybody knows. a lot of these bands were thousands of miles away from where death metal was really getting big in the early 90's so obviously they did not have the same opportunities for exposure as some of the others. really though, it's all a matter of personal taste and nobody will win this argument...although eklektiktastes has done a fine job of proving that he is a jackass.

...and a hell of a lot of people thought that at the time, I got a lot of trades back then with the 'Dark' demo on them, and people shouting their praises. I agree the net has made some bands ridiculously over hyped...Sororicide! ($500+ on egay), especially lately with the all the old bands reforming, the books on Swedish Death Metal, etc. BTW, what do you mean Nihilist didn't release anything else..they just became Entombed!! Same with most old DM, the members shuffled around, renamed, etc....same with Darkified members! I'd take most of the old demo bands compared to the weak, stagnant shit that pretends to be DM today, and I'm glad in a way that a younger generation has go access to the 'real' oh sorry 'true' death metal. Downloading mp3s is preferable to paying ridiculous amounts to a cock like you...but I don't have to, oh and that Purtenance 7"..that is overrated, but due to be re-released soon anyways ;)

@eklektiktastes: Only just noticed the discussion going on here and seems like you're assuming everyone is either a lot younger than you and only has this stuff on mp3 (not that that should make a scrap of difference). I'm an old fart, got the originals (unfortunately only a dub/trade of the demo, though kindly Mr. Swano sent me a scan of the inlay/lyrics, etc). Would you like some pics of my collection too? or one showing my dicks bigger than yours? (sorry can't help you with that one!). I'm sorry to tell you this but their 'Kvlt' not because of the reasons you stated...though that maybe the case with individuals like yourself who get off on showing off about what you own! Most of the fellow old farts I know (that means the 30+ brigade), also hold Darkified in high esteem because of what was their originality at the time....

First off, i agree with you that a lot of hyped up stuff is mediocre (Phlegothon, Pestigore, Utumno, Mordicus etc. are all very subpar). But Darkified is not one of them. Just listen to their track Sleep Forever, it's brilliant by any death metal standard, it's truly one of those obscure gems. The band did not reach their full potential, but not because they didn't deserve it or something like that.

I'm through with this. I may have over-reacted but I still believe that stuff that was so-so 20 years ago is still so-so today. No matter how hard it is to find the freaking tape or record. Darkified is a good band. That's just it. Nothing more. Nothing less.

"(I'm not going to drop every name I know if that's okay with you) didn't make it back then it was not because they were underrated it was only because they didn't deserve it." <----- By this logic everything is popular because "it deserves to be." You really don't think its possible that there were (are still maybe?) any good bands out there that are struggling to "make it"? Only thing I"ll agree with, is that calling shit "kvlt" is pretty retarded. However, you really come off as quite the douche bag.

http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr57/eklektiktastes/28052009.jpg I probably already sold that Purtenance shit or gave it, or lost it, or wtf, but I put in a few other goodies just in case. And no that's not the extent of my shit. And yes, that's my finger, fucking mp3 wannabee.

So you're saying I can't listen to both Radiohead and Death Metal? Are you going to give me the 'metal rules and the rest is shite' motto. How old are you to come up with that? How uber trve do you want to sound? You've got great charts (which I believe is a good reason to show off on last.fm, how many mp3's you got?) and since I see you're a Purtenance fan, I'll also add Purtenance's Crown Waits The Immortal to the package. Think I'm a fake? Try me.

Okay I'll add the Fresco Lungs for free at that price. You do not get my point anyway. I'm not sure how old you are but let me tell you that back in 1989-1991, lots of bands achieved 'cult' status by releasing their first full-lenghts. LOTS. No need to mention any of them, if you're into DM, you should know. So if Grotesque, Phlegethon, Darkified and what not (I'm not going to drop every name I know if that's okay with you) didn't make it back then it was not because they were underrated it was only because they didn't deserve it. But I feel you, hey man why would I complain I have tons of EPs and LPs that nobody cared about some 15-20 years ago that all of the sudden thanks to trends/blogspot have gone KVLT. But damn, I shouldn't say that too loud or else I'll never make 666 bucks...

Cult because 1 - Band is no more 2 - Released a single EP on a deceased label (not talking about that mercantile effort that followed some time after... Okay guys, time to wake up. I own Sleep Forever (not mp3s...) and it's never been that good anyway (though I guess I could sell it for 666 $ ;) ). That kind of amuses the shit of me how mediocre bands back in 89/91 turned out to be cult today (did I say Grotesque or Phlegethon?). It's like saying today, how man I am so into Nihilist. Fuck yeah, you definitely should, after all they released nothing, probably makes them cult. Sorry KVLT... I can't spell. PS: offer still valid to sell that Sleep Forever at 666 $... PM me. ;)
