A category for bands who can't sing or play their instruments very well, so they have to play them really loud and fast and scream into the mic, hoping no one will notice.
Death metal sucks large quantities of ass.
Fast, heavy metal. But what the fuck is with everyone just mentioning Cannibal Corpse? Come on... what about Darkthrone, Burzum, Behemoth, Gorgoroth. What about the band that made death metal famous Mayhem? Old Man's Child and Children of Bodom? emporer and immortal and celtic frost and BATHORY. at the gates, arch enemy
fuck cannibal corpse, go COB
Death metal is characterized mostly by absolutely unintelligible vocals - often not even real words - and drummers who only know how to use thier bass pedal.
Cannibal Corpse is a fine example... of the worst music I've heard in my life.
An extreme form of heavy metal which contains blast beats, double bass, growling vocals and distorted guitars. Most songs are about the grotesque and darkside of life. While most of these bands claim to have the worlds most talented musicians, they all seem to sound identical.
Hey didn't this song already pass? No, we're already on track #10, but what did you expect? It's Death Metal.
Complicated, intense, fast-paced instrumentals. Often accompanied, but not always, with references to death and satan, probably to give the band an excuse to use some really good sounding guitar riff they heard somewhere. Some people can't tell one death metal song from another, but they probably rarely ever listen to it.

Lets all go back to the old days of ROCK... you have various forms like alternate, pop, light, gothic, satanic, and the best hard rock...bands like deep purple, led zeppelin and black sabbath are hard rock bands.... then in the 80's they changed to metal then came heavy metal, heavy metal bands are like judas priest, iron maiden, pantera and anthrax and so forth, still I class this as hard rock..but they call it heavy metal. You got lots of forms of metal these days and death metal stands alone, its not gothic or fantasy I call it where you run around naked and bite people like a vampire, thats gothic. so to be classed as death metal you do not sing about satan...thats more like satanic rock and its not death metal by far. To be a death metal band you must sing about death, your first clue is they call it DEATH metal.... bands like cannibal corpse has songs like "hammer smashed face" so if you get yer face smashed in by a hammer hmmm death can be the result, or like the song "fucked with a knife" hmmm chances are you will die if you decide to fuck yerself with a knife, so bands like cannibal corpse I would assume sings about the ways of DEATH so I think you can say they are DEATH metal 4sure. If you sing about anything else then how could it be Death Metal... Death and the ways of dying are brutal, cold and sadistic in this music, you don't sing about gramma dying from old age but if she got beat to death by a baseball bat then yeah whew thats death metal 4sure. So now you know the word DEATH has to be why they make songs, not satan or being a vampire or being political has to do with being thrilled by death. You must love the word DEATH and the music will make you want to hear more. It's vulgar and disturbing and sometimes insane and to me its great music. I think Death metal is way above all forms of metal and will kill to be the best form of metal, get it hehehe kill... okay remember the word DEATH before you play your gothic satanic political rock music and call it death metal.
Satan did not turn you into a vampire so you can smash your neighbors face in with a crowbar.... hey nobody mentioned the band "CROWBAR" they are a real death metal band.
When untalented musicians get together and make ridiculous music using drop C power chords and double bass drum rolls in attempt to show their hate for God, or the government or whatever they don't believe in.
