Not a big fan of either, but I do have my favorites. Black metal wins, even though I like the band Death more than any black metal band. Cannibal Corpse, on the other band, are garbage, and I doubt I will ever change about that.

dude Illud Divinum Insanus is f**king horrendous. but it doesn't matter. I'm more concerned with the fact that you claim to like death metal but aren't familiar with Morbid Angel's early work.
Educate yourself
Their first two albums are top-tier death metal, no arguments.

their first few albums are classic, man! definitely got mediocre after that though... still, i'll take some boring new Cannibal Corpse over the garbage that is the last two Death records any day

Big fan of both styles here, I think I'll go with black metal... it has better melodies I think, while death metal focuses more on rhythm, and I'm more of a melody person. Another great choice would be Blackened Death Metal, Akercocke is one of the best bands in the metal and prog genres, I think.

Death metal for me. Especially lo-fi recorded black metal turn me off completely. There are exceptions but thatīs my general feeling about it. i remember when the second wave black metal artists began to flood the extreme metal scene in the early- to mid-nineties. I hated most of it. Iīve come to like a lot of it in time (for instance I absolutely adore a band like Satyricon these days, and I used to dislike them), but I guess some of the feelings from back then are still stuck in my mind.

Their first few albums are especially what I'm objecting to. Butchered at Birth is probably the most unintentionally funny album I have ever heard. Their newer albums are completely uninteresting, but at least they're not comically bad. And you must be the first person I have seen who doesn't like Symbolic.

Black metal for sure. Though there are death metal bands I love, such as Between the Buried and Me, there is no music that chills the soul like black metal.
I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't
