Do people really listen to death metal?

Discussion in 'Music genres, Bands and Artists' started by camram, Nov 13, 2011.

  1. Don't listen to all this black metal, industrial metal type shit. Listen to "core" and progressive metal. They have melodies, singing, screaming, breakdowns, heavy riffs, melodic solos, shredding solos, sweeping, good drums, good bass, etc. etc. The passion in this type of music is intense. I'm an atheist, but I listen to a lot of "christiancore", because christian metal musicians tend to have the most passion, and in turn, make great music.


    Examples of good metal:
    Vildhjarta - Traces
    Between the Buried and Me - COLORS Live DVD. <--Will change your mind. My dad now listens to them.
    Born of Osiris (new stuff)
    TesseracT - Openings, or Deception.
    Within the Ruins - Invade


    All sorts of good metal. I could introduce you to just about every different genre of good metal, minus industrial/black metal, etc. That shit sucks. It's all tremolo picking, blast beats, and generally, lyrics about how much they hate the world. I listen to all types of music, from dubstep, to reggae, to underground rap, to metal, to classical. (Yes, I was an accomplished violinist.)

    So my judgements aren't un-researched. (This is my anti-flame disclaimer)
     
  2. This isn't death metal its more of a hybrid of it and hiphop:

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaE8cMt_8iU&feature=related]Death Grips - Klink - YouTube[/ame]

    Only "similar" thing I listen to remotely close to it I guess. I usually don't fucks with death metal though
     
  3. i like deicide, for their anti religious songs and dethklok are mostly the only death metal bands ive listened to. cauldron born, is like death metal im not sure the exact genre but there awesome. 2nd song is a masterpiece.:):wave::smoke:

  4. I dunno. I can't listen to just screaming...I like mellow music.

    Please don't lump any zach hill project in with anything death metal. It's not even close. Such a horrible description of DG..


    On topic, Electric Wizard has been a favorite of mine recently.

  6. Death metal is probably my least favorite of the genre, but I will listen to it. It doesn't all sound the same, you just have to look around and listen. I prefer stoner metal :D
     
  7. To bad I will
     

  8. Terrible.
     
  9. No black metal in this thread, are you stupid?

    One can find death metal with those traits, as well. I'll submit proof of the two you wouldn't expect to see, breakdowns and clean singing.

    Breakdowns:

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxMkIm5JxkM]Wintersun - Wintersun/05 - Death And The Healing - YouTube[/ame]

    Not really a Wintersun fan, but the point has been made.

    How the hell would you know? You clearly don't listen to black metal if you think any of the above is "black metal type shit." By the way, talking about all the other genres you listen to doesn't mean you know dick about death metal. Feel free to dislike it, but don't pretend to be well-versed in it.
     
  10. I didn't like it much at first but it's grown on me...mostly because lots of my friends are in metal bands and it's really good live and loud...I can get down to some suicide silence or tony danza tap dance extravaganza
     
  11. since when was mad season heavy? lol awesome supergroup band tho.
     
  12. Op, quit being iggnorant
    music is unbelievably diverse
    because people love all different kinds of it
    not eveybody loves it all
    thats why there so much different inventive styles/genre, imo
     
  13. Yes, I like death metal such as this.

    I also happen to like stuff like this

    This

    and other such musical forms which seem to be less than popular in this day and age.
     
  14. Ughhh too many sub genres for metal, I like some, others not so much. Not a fan of the cookie monster growl though.

    dude. you just listed some pretty underwhelming "good" metal. Born of Osiris??? Bro-core garbage. I can't believe there's people who prefer chugga chugga breakdown compared to actual riffs and well thought out song structures.

    ^smokes a LOT of weed

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuFmNZ09_Y8&feature=related]Veil of Maya - Mowgli - YouTube[/ame]

    ^same band, still smokes a LOT of weed

    but why do you have to make a whole thread dedicated to hating a genre?
    that's just immature. people have different musical tastes... i probably wouldn't like what you listen to, but i don't go and make threads talking about how much i dislike a certain genre.

    i listen to stuff from up there^

    to stuff like;

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de1bt5dc2t0]Baboon - This Town Needs Guns - YouTube[/ame]
    &
    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o910S5mf75U]Closure in Moscow - Sweetheart - YouTube[/ame]

    be musically open-minded, man..
     
  17. dudes. quit posting deathcore bands. it has nothing to do with death metal.
     
  18. [quote name='"DrewLee865"']dudes. quit posting deathcore bands. it has nothing to do with death metal.[/quote]

    People group in anything from Metallica to hardcore as "death metal"
