A variation on death metal, also known as "Melodeath." Bands in this genre seem to have borrowed many of the traits of thrash, and combined them with classical death metal. For instance, these bands tend to have longer songs, more guitar melody/solos, and much more diverse lyrics. Blast beats are used, but not quite as often as they are in the more classical style of death metal. Vocals tend to be a mixture of the higher black-metal-style growls and the lower death-metal-style ones. Some of the newer bands have even been making limited use use of clean vocals (i.e., Profane Omen, Absence, Chimaira). As far as the mood...this style tends to be a lot less doomy than black metal (i.e., more lively, and not so depressing).
It can be argued that this style began with the band Carcass and their release of the album called "Heartwork." Carcass was originally more of a Grindcore-type band, but slowly refined their style, and progressed into a more and more melodic form of metal, until "melodic death metal" or "melodeath" was born. Since then, hundreds of bands have come about exhibiting many of the same qualities, such as In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, Fear My Thoughts, Shadow, Light This City, The Autumn Offering, etc.

A subgenre of death metal that started in the late 80's and is composed of bands such as Morbid Angel, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Malevolent Creation, Monstrosity, Resurrection, and so on.
Tampa is the most prevelant home to Florida Death Metal bands. Morbid Angel, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, and Deicide are some of the most notable ones to live and record in Tampa. Morrisound Studios is where a great many classic death metal albums were recorded, like CC's Tomb of the Mutilated, Morbid Angel's Covenant, Obituary's Cause of Death, and even Brazilian thrashers Sepultura came to Tampa in 1991 to record Arise with producer Scott Burns, who also produced numerous death metal albums.
The style of Florida death metal is not easily defined, it varies from cannibal corpses blood and guts themes to deicides anti-christian ranting. But it is usually just straight forward and to the point, no fancy productions or studio wizardy with an emphasis on riffs and song structures. some bands are more techinical than others. Most of them use blast beats and especially double bass, vocals go from thrash yelling to low guttural growls to high shrieks.
Overall, death metal would not be the same without these bands. Florida swamp death metallers unite.
Florida Death Metal is the best music EVER.

1. A sub genre of Death Metal in which emphasis is on complex and fast drumming, palm muted guitar, and extremely guttural vocals.
2. A meme on last.fm. Pop artists are tagged Brutal Death Metal so that it shows up in their top genre tags.
1. Suffocation was one of the first Brutal Death Metal bands.
2. Paris Hilton's #1 genre tag was Brutal Death Metal until the lulz killers at last.fm removed it from her page.

There is no better Music to shake your ass too, except maybe QotSA. Josh Homme on Drums and Jessie 'Boots Electric' Hughes will rock your socks off for sure.
DEATH BY SEXY!
Eagles of Death Metal are so rock.

Death metal (200+bpm, 200 riffs/song) + melody (harmonies, melodies, slower choruses, less tremelo picking, tends to be slower).
Dark Tranquility will forever be the greatest melodic death metal band.

One of the many offshoots of the Death Metal Genre, focusing on extreme speed, complexity, Technicality and Chaos while maintaining a aura of Structure. The band Suffocation can be hailed as the father of Brutal Death Metal.
Spawn of possession is an excellent Brutal Death Metal Band.

1.) When one listens to death metal or similar music that's so intense that one shits oneself upon hearing it.
2.) Putting a speaker near or into one's anus and playing death metal loudly to the point that it loosens the fecal matter inside the individual and it comes out.
"I listened to Septicflesh for the first time the other day and it gave me a death metal enema."
