Brutal/Slam Death Metal

[Pull The Plug]

^This is a phase.

Thank you Pull the Plug for putting what I was trying to say into a more eloquent post.

 

[MURAI]

Greys, you truly are a fucking idiot. This is by far the most ridiculous post i've read in a while.

Do you realise there are more fucking instruments in a band than a guitar? Most brutal/slam death drummers are more than competent and easily out play the majority of your old school death metal bands. Also the bassists who generally play very groove/bend/slide orientated bass lines, rather than the old school "play exactly what the guitar is playing except power chords".

Not to mention far greater vocal diversity, no longer is is one type of growling used for an entire album.

How does playing the way Devourment play devoid them being musicians? I listen to it as music, as do thousands of others. The band is satisfied with what they play and they are very established. Sure they play a very distinct type of death metal with obvious flaws, but they do it fucking well.

Saying any music is 'dumb' is the real epitome of idiocy, I don't even need to explain why.

(BTW I actually love old school death metal, just pointing out obvious flaws and components brutal/slam death has improved upon)

But, it sounds like you think the band showcasing more technical skill the better they are. To portray something, I dont think it matters how intricate it is. Sometimes its best to arrive at it using the simple, direct route.

 

[Pull The Plug]

...You have misread it completely.

 

[Narg n Lamb]

fucking genres...

 

[ohiogrinder]

there is no such thing as "slam death metal"

there is brutal death metal, technical brutal death metal, death metal/grindcore (really brutal shit),

not a huge fan of those bands... I like DM with intelligent vocals, good production, lots of melody, heavy as fuck vocals that are still coherent, and lots of technical ability

I never liked melodic death.

Can we all shut the fuck up about genres and talk about the style at hand?

Thank you. No more off-topic discussion will be tolerated in this thread.

I never liked melodic death.

How many times are you going tell everyone ?.

 

[CF87]

I never liked yellow.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

melodic death?? like gothenburg you mean?? I don't really listen to that either

I just like DM bands with a lot of melody (death, morbid angel, behemoth)

I think that the styles are too far apart musically for this to be a common mixture and I haven't heard anything I would call brutal death with black influences, but Destroying Divinity is a band with a dark atmosphere similar to that of many a black metal band.

so would this qualify as "slam" death metal?

Fuck no.

Edit: Their band name sucks, as does their band.

Not really, it's too all over the place. It's close though. Orchidectomy is a Canadian slam band that is a better example of the genre.

 

[LivingCadaver]

so it sounds like Dying Fetus and Guttural Secrete? alright. I guess pretty much all bands on unmatched brutality qualify for this genre.

 

[cookiecutter]

Yes

 

[BR00TAL]

Fuck yeah, Guttural Secrete. One of my current favourites.
