Because it all sounds the same to me. What is the criteria for good death metal? All they are doing is screaming into a mic.
Yes. People listen to death metal It has heavy riffs, virtuoso guitar and gutteral vocals Some people dig that!
Sometimes, I prefer thrash though [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itTfOhR65Ak&feature=related[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU43Vb6zpLE&feature=related]Suffocation- Jesus Wept - YouTube[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd7AgxMXtdo[/ame]
Yes. It's a type of music that appealed to me at a young age. Stuck with me since. And of it's just mindless screaming to you then i would just stop trying to understand it, cause I don't think you ever will.
yep. I listen to all kinds of music, including some very heavy, (kyuss, sabbath, OM, tool, mad season) but I have never seen ANY musical value in death metal. just as pointless as pop-punk in my mind.
Wow, some people in this thread are completely ignorant. Death metal was the first genre I started listening to, and it's a lot more than random screaming.
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpfz5Vnr-_A]Death - Flesh And The Power It Holds - YouTube[/ame] That's only one. But seriously, listen to Death before you make a statement like that. The ones who started it all (arguably). Chuck was a genius RIP
The only death metal I've found so far that I like was Death. But yes, people like what they like even if it ain't others cup of green tea.
see now this is good shit. but most of the death metal people post doesn't sound as cool and sludgy as this does. maybe it's just because I really despise the "thrash" sound that metallica & megadeth helped popularize.
I can dig death metal without all the screaming. I love the instruments, but being yelled at blows my high. Be better off listening to my other half.
It actually takes a lot of talent to play all that crazy shit. It also takes a lot to learn how to scream to. I listen to some occasionally. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7BTUzcJehw]James Gillespie - Fleshwrought - Conceptual Flesh - YouTube[/ame]
I used to listen only to death metal when I was younger but I actually still often in these very rare ocassion like it, like now [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwi9fxHBphU]Satellites and Astronauts - In Flames - YouTube[/ame]
To say there is no musical value in an entire genre of music is asinine.
