I listen to every type of metal under the sun. I'm not very discerning.
I'm looking for anything interesting in the guitar playing, songwriting, artwork, and production. If you look at the stack of CDs on my desk and in my car, you'll find a very wide range of music under the umbrella of metal.
As far as specific bands from the 90s death metal era, I love Death, Carcass, Possessed, Morbid Angel, Gorguts, Autopsy, Atheist, etc.
There are so many things that kept forcing metal back down to the underground. It survives everywhere on the planet.
You can go to any small town in America, there's going to be a metal fan there. You can't say that about post-rock.
I don't know if it was related to the type of music that we were doing at that time or what, but Todd Cook actually just turned to me and was like, "You know what would be a great name for a metal band? Dead Child." We talked half-jokingly that we were going to do a band. I guess as time went on, I started writing songs that were more metal sounding, and it just evolved from there. It actually started with the name first, and then the songs came second.
Now since I've gotten back into it, I've been listening to a lot more of the 1990s death metal type stuff.
