Why Do So Many People Bash Death Metal?

[treyazagthoth]

It's the musical equivalent of horror movies. It only sounds weird to you because you're not used to the intensity of heavy metal. Nobody starts out listening to death metal - we all start out listening to heavy metal then thrash then death. i don't get why people are so baffled by death metal but yea they're fine with super gory horror movies

The only people that bash death metal are metal fans of other metal genres.

No-one that doesn't listen to anything heavy bashes metal...they just don't listen to it.

[Boffothe]

We're just confused as to how Cookie Monster has the time to record the vocals for so many different bands

[MSchwol]

different strokes..

[notbigenoughyet]

BECAUSE.. IT MAKES ME.... SO FAKING ......MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD>. *head bang*

[Lpenny]

I know that feel about working your way up to Death Metal, been listening to metal for years, only started getting an interest in Death Metal (The Faceless in the only death metal band I really listen to)

[treyazagthoth]

watch this video *******, there are no vocals so you can't complain that the growling makes your vagina hurt

[Broteins]

Because the vocals give me a headache?

[Wife Beater]

Dark, the singer always sounds stupid as **** with the Cookie monster voice, and it's associated with gothic FA type people

ur being ignorant, there's like 4 or 5 different metal vocal types.

I appreciate some death metal but I never went too far into non melodic music, be thrash or death.

Slayer gets boring for me and the solos are straight up dog****.
Kreator is borderline but good fun.

Cannibal Corpse, no thanks Jeff.
Necro****ist, yes please.

Death: GOAT in a genre pioneer.

I recently sat in as a guitarist for a couple of gigs in my mates band (Dehuman) which is slowly getting a lot of recognition in death metal around europe (their last album did alright) but I find too many diminished riffs to be boring to play and musically it doesn't leave much room for improvisation.

Brb only solo in diminished, harmonic minor or phrygian dominant.

The growling takes getting used to for some I guess, but what makes the genre really annoying to me is the atmosphere. It's pretty much always gloomy, grumpy and angry at the world (no emo or goth). I've spoken to a couple of Death metal lead singers and they were rambling on about how they want to look mean and intimidating on stage.

I much prefer bands like Parkway Drive just because they're a bunch of laid back dudes like you and I and I listen to metal to let out my hyperactivity and feel bouncy/grrr/mosh/let's **** chit up/yay. not "I hate everything and everyone is a conformist sheep".

Also adore Opeth but I guess they're more melodic progressive death metal (or were prior to Watershed, although they started out as black metal).

Finally (and I get a lot of chit for this from a few other musicians) I never really cottoned on to Meshuggah. I appreciate how technical the polyrythms and time signatures are etc but it's really not listenable enough for me.

How was that OP?

Edit: Death metal also seems to be the link between music and grindcore, and I really, REALLY can't stand that chit. Sounds like someone gave a bunch of instruments to inbred hyperactive elephants and recorded what happened.

Too loud and angry man.

Metal is like testosterone in the form of sound (to me). I don't expect women to dig it and I'm always pleasantly surprised when one does.

*wants to take nap*............ *wants to listen to vids*

Here is an easy band to listen to for death metal newbies brah, trust me you'll like it







F*cking awesome lyrics too

We arise from the ashes below
To battle and crush the holy war
We'll spread our seeds to change history
A genocide delivered on your doorstep
They will perish in the everlasting flame
And we demand a new great victory

A new era has begun, the world is falling
And darkness triumphs, the emperor has made his call
And now the time has come for us to dread his warning
The terror will reign, death upon us all

Hell is here, no escape
Hell is here, Mother Nature's raped

Fueled by the hate we plow across the burning nation
With blood dripping from our hands only to keep the essentials from our past
The great army of the black horde is marching on
Through the remains of the slaughtered men

A new era has begun, the world is falling
And darkness triumphs, the emperor has made his call
And now the time has come for us to dread his warning
The terror will reign, death upon us all

Screams we hear in vain, of souls that turn into dust
Lives flushed down the drain, bodies left to rot

Nothing remains, only death

Earth a wound that never will heal
A new beginning will rise through the debris
Blood that was spilled, obliterated mankind
Life's lost
There's nothing left to claim

Terror will reign

A new era has begun, the world is falling
And darkness triumphs, the emperor has made his call
And now the time has come for us to dread his warning
The terror will reign, death upon us all

Not sure if srs? metalcore isn't anything close to thrash

[magog704]

norf carolina represent

[Groce]

because it's just not pleasurable listening

[BossDonn]

when i listen to music, i typically want it to be pleasing to my ears...ya know? sound good and stuff.

plus how corny are grown men that sing about the chit in death metal songs LOL

ppl who listen to death metal fall into this category for me

[treyazagthoth]

Ibut what makes the genre really annoying to me is the atmosphere. It's pretty much always gloomy, grumpy and angry at the world

What the f*ck?


The evil atmosphere of death metal is one of the best aspects of the genre


What in the blue hell? It's like saying "I want to watch horror movies without evil, intense atmosphere". Makes no sense


This song is like the perfect example of why I love death metal atmosphere - gets epic around 0:50 mark

[PaulSmenorx]

Whenever I hear that chit it makes me want to strangle by pet bunny. Absolutely horrible and it's your fault more of it keeps being produced cause loser attention seekers like u support it. Please cut yourself, and remember to go up the arm not across

[LethalLotus]

Tried listening to some bands and I can honestly say I don't like Death Metal. I feel like I want to go on a killing spree while listening to Death Metal.

Inb4 fbi

[blackeneddeath]

Death metal is great but thrash is better. I don't get the hate

[treyazagthoth]

plus how corny are grown men that sing about the chit in death metal songs LOL

Plenty of metal bands have intelligent lyrics


But I didn't realize there was something wrong with lyrics about death/war. Let me guess, you don't like horror or action movies?

[BrahBrahgovich]

Meh I just can't listen to that stuff.

[jdrdroo]

Classic rock 'n' roll + noise
