Death metal is a relitively younge gendre of music, but it has been plaqued by controversy throughout it's entire life. Death metal is characterised by it's gutteral vocal assault, jinsane double bass drumming and heavily distorted and detuned guitars. Death metal can be painfully stupid and clichΓ© (Cannibal Corpse, Deicide) to stunningly complex and rousing (Meshuggah, Opeth, Satrycon. Ultimatly it's all music and deserves it's repect. People often associate death metal with poor musicainship and juvinile lyric themes, although some bands adhere to this formula it's not always the case as with any gendre of music. Death metal takes loads of talent to perform, and most of it shoots right over the casual listener's head. The lyrical themes in death metal can seem one-dimenional but reads some lyrics and you'll be astonished (try Napalm Death) How the gendre got it's name can be daebated but I think it got it's name from the Venom album (Black Metal)
Good death metal/grindcore bands include Vintersorg, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Carcass, Opeth, Meshuggah, Athiest, Death, Bathory, Marduk, Burzum.
Dude, Deicide played in a gig with Blink182 and Deicide totally kicked thier asses.
Death metal sucks, I'm gonna go listen to "Barbie Girl"
I listen to Napalm Death and Charles Mingus, because I love well-written and composed music.

Death Metal is not for the weak. Death Metal is for the chosen ones who see the vision of darkness and believe that eternity exists through sacrafice of the meek. DEATH METAL IS NECROVORE.
Kill Yourself if you do not believe. If you are too weak, call me, I'll kill you myself.
Lick your wounds and bleed again!!!!!

Death metal instrumentals = amazing
Death metal lyrics = poetic in their own right and sometimes very current with world news.
Death metal vocals a.k.a death grunt = retarded.
I think that most of the bands have some amazing musicians. but the way they sing in an inaudible voice is just stupid.
Bands with my favorite instrumentals from the death metal genre. God Dethroned, Nile, Cannibal Corpse.

Possibly the weirdest sounding stuff ever. If anyone besides me wanted to ever know what it is like to listen to Death Metal, watch porn, it is a bunch of people screaming and sweating(I never did and never will do this). I do like the enthusiasm of the people though, but this is what it sounds like. It is very creative though, but not much talent is involved besides the solos. All in all it is a bunch of high pitched screaming with a 3 chord riff and breakdowns. I myself sometimes listen to it, for some of it isn't bad.
Iwrestledabearonce is death metal

really scary shit...i guess its kind of misunderstood, DM consists mostly of low noises, rasps, and screamed words, and the themes usually give people the impression the artists are so distressed they need to scream in that way; but hey..whatever floats your boat.
"He's so into death metal, i almost pissed myself listening to it!"

Music that is insanely complicated and takes considerable technical skill to play, that is typically ruined by growling and lyrics that sing about "death" and "satan" and similiar words to try and make the music deeper than it already, but actuals detracts from its overall quality.
Fear Factory is death metal without the pathetic lyrics that attempt to make it scary.
