I kind of miss that early era of when death metal was still in proto phase coming out of thrash and death metal was about "death". Wisconsin had a slew of great bands come out in this period that had those thrashy riffs in their death metal style and violent and horror lyrics to satisfy the genre aesthetically. Dr. Shrinker comes to mind, early Morta Skuld, Morbid Saint, ect. Really like that stuff! It's kind of like a bunch of thrash guys that went, let's try this death metal shit now.
