It seems so many Death metal and black metal bands- are forgetting the importance of a good hook in a song. Is it totally wrong for a good death metal band - to put a little melodicism- or a little hook into a song?
IMO, it's quit the other way around, if anything, melody is underrated and brutality the way you put it is overrated. Anybody can sound brutal without any talent, the real trick is to add melody and still sound brutal.Dreamlord said:hooks - another way of wimping out
Why do songs need hooks? So the songs are easier to digest? Melody is overrated and for people who can't handle the brutal stuff.
sorry for the elitist-sounding comments, but I'm tired of these fucking pansy melody-laced bands)
Agree with this statement.Esteban said:the real trick is to add melody and still sound brutal.
Hooks have nothing to do with melody or wimping out ... I think Burzum is not melodic at all for example yet most of their tracks are full of hooks.hooks - another way of wimping out
