Till Death Do Us Part
Death metal is not a sub genre for the faint hearted, those who lend their ears to mainstream pop sounds tend to scoff at metal music in general, they’ve probably never even heard any death metal songs but If they did, I’m sure they’d almost faint at those growling vocals of doom and that’s why I love it!
Death metal makes no apologises for its macabre tones and visual connotations, it is an extreme form of metal music that takes you on a hell raising journey throughout the duration of any given track.
It is widely noted that the subgenre of death metal was spawned from it’s metal music subgenre counterparts, thrash metal and black metal in the 1980’s. A major early influence in to the development of the sounds now associated with death metal can be accredited to the American thrash metal band Slayer. Slayer’s album ‘Reign in Blood' described my Kerrang as the ‘heaviest of all time' infused rapid speeds with lyrics about death and violence and graphic artwork, is cited as being the stimulation for many death metal bands in developing their sound.
Whether you work for a local white diesel suppliers and listen to death metal whilst driving your truck for work, or you’re a confused kid trying to figure out your place in this world, death metal incites emotions inside you that can propel you with intensity of enthusiasm and energy. Those who despise the genre (likelihood they’ve never actually listened to it) will say quite the opposite, it stirs up inner morbid feelings and hatred for the world and this is simply not the case.
Nowadays, like all music genre’s death metal is developing and diversifying with underground artists and the musical tastes of the younger generation. Metalcore has experienced wide popularity in recent years and death metal has as equally seen the emergence of death metal subgenre called deathcore. Bands like Suicide Silence have taken the essence of metalcore music and infused it with death metal traits. The result is a sound that features breakneck drumming (blast beats) the growled vocals as well as those that are screamed, breakdowns and melodic tones.
So for those cynics, take note, death metal isn’t going anywhere, it fact it’s for ever emerging and developing in to new and exhilarating sounds, wake up and listen!
