Death Vs Black

[warsofwinter]

now you just putting labels on things it's all just art

 

[Till Fjalls]

Anglagard and Anekdoten all the way!!!

But neither are as cool as Sinkadus

 

[nyleve]

Sinkadus are Anglagard wannabes!!!

 

[Leper Affinity]

Carpathian Forest kicks the shit out of Sinkadus.

You know, this is most certainly not right, but for some obscure reason I have always divided them like this:

Good music: Death Metal

Poor music: Black Metal

It probably comes down to my earliest confrontations with both styles, but even though I can see my own prejudice here, I can't overcome it. But, well, that's not so important, is it?

My friend also tends to divide all music in two "camps": Rhythmic or Melodic music. Usually BM goes to Rhythmic and DM (especially the "Swedish" DM) goes to Melodic.

Mmm, I find that I only like black or death on a band to band basis. My true prefered music is Doom Metal.

Exactly. I just don't see how u can choose a favourite out of two so similar and closely linked genres. But never mind, I still can't decide

Well, what do you call it then, Swedish metallish folk-music?

And yes, black metal can be quite melodic - but ask a "true northern darkness winterfrost black-metallist", if any of the melodic black metal bands are truly black metal?

-Villain (np: Unanimated - "Mireille" (death metal))

 

[Mikael is God]

well lets see... since the music is melodic, i prefer to call it MELODIC METAL..... theres no need for a "death" in there because its not related to death metal in any way.......

 

[Russell]

I don't see the attraction of music if its not melodic. I mean if there's no melody, whats the point in listening?

WHat you guys think is better? Black Metal or Death Metal? I would have to say i like them both the same since i like some black and some death. what you guys think.

I think death is better as more technical and interesting music. I like black too and have nothing against it as a music, but death seems to me more powerfull. What about melody, I think music must give emotions, no matter how. Popshit has no emotions and no soul, I hate it, but every musician, that gives his music a part of his soul is really creator. Check SUFFOCATION "Pierced from within", you won't regret!

 

[transfixed]

pierced from within is my fav DM album

rhythm can also predominate and make pretty cool music. Just listen to older Death, Possessed, Pestilence, Atheist, Bolt Thrower, later Carcass, Venom, Bathory, Carpathian Forest, early Burzum, etc.

If so, check DEATH SYMBOLIC too!

Everything is on a band-to-band basis.

I really like Morbid Angel, but I can't stand most other bands like them. I need something with a very individual style, and in MA, the intense guitar work and blindingly fast drumming are what pulled me in (Well, Desolate Ways did, I love when a band can turn around and do something like that).

And while I likeD CoF, and do like older Old Man's Child a lot, I've never been able to get into Dimmu Borgir, and I don't know why. Music has to speak to me, and I tend to be VERY selective about it these days. I'll listen to anything, but I won't listen to it twice if it doesn't sink in at all the first time.

So death/black/doom/gore etc, they're all capable of being good, it's just up to whomever is behind the wheel.

I will do if I get the chance The thing is I find often bandswith no melody also play so ridiculously fast there's not much rhythm either!

Death symbolic?

Everyone knows deep inside that Black is the great genre.
