Whats death metal?

Question

Just curious.

Answer 1

Death metal is all about the guitar. You hear some drums every now and then, but when you do, its so totally awesome. It makes you want to do crazy stuff. It can also be bad because of what they call "the 24th frame". Every 24 frames a really bad thought comes out but you dont hear it. It makes you turn EVIL.

Answer 2

Why do Asians always sing songs from the Backstreet Boys?? Now that is funny stuff. I guess cause they don't like nSyc and Lance Bass


Death metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal that evolved out of thrash metal during the early 1980s.

Commonly recognized characteristics include usually violent or dark lyrics which focus on death as a nihilistic metaphor (although lately more philosophy-based lyrics, such as those of later Death have become popular as well), chromatic progressions and a narrative or "story telling" song structure such that there is not a verse-chorus cycle as much as an ongoing development of themes and motifs. It is usually identified by downtuned rhythm guitar, fast percussion and dynamic intensity. "Blast beats" are frequently used to add to the ferocity of the modern music. The vocals are commonly low gurgles named death grunt, growl, or death growl. This kind of vocalising is distorted by use of the throat and guts, unlike traditional singing techniques which discourages this technique. Some people consider it similar to the overtone style of singing. Music journalist Chad Bowar notes that, because of the similarity of the vocals to "unintelligible yelling", the style is sometimes described as "Cookie monster vocals"[1].

Key death metal bands include: Atheist, Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Cannibal Corpse, Death, Deicide, Dismember, Entombed, Immolation, Morbid Angel, Napalm Death, Obituary, Possessed, and Suffocation.

Answer 3

DEATH METAL
Where speed metal and hardcore warned us of the apocalypse, death metal assumed it as society wailed on toward demise with a whimper and not any drastic warning-type motion. Civilization has become decadent and valueless, and escaping the cycle of rebellion death metal projects a world before the moralization of values, in which personal values can triumph. Death metal denies inherent value in tone and ideal, and deconstructs the overbearing sense of world and social bounds around us with primal music bearing complexity in texture and theme. The music and lifestyles of the death metal genre employ intuition and logic to replace deconstructed illusion with structuralist sensibility and a sensitivity toward existential value. Unlike most music which focuses on humanist or romantic themes, death metal articulates the lawless extremity of nature.
