What are the differences between Thrash and Death Metal?

[Ender Rises]

Calm the fuck down, asshole.

you're also a worthless tosspot

 

[Ender Rises]

You're a faggot with a rod up your ass and you don't know whether you should enjoy it or get pissed so you do both sitting at your little computer talking shit to other people instead of doing something worth spending time on.

Shut the fuck up Consuming Impulse.

I actually LOL'd reading this whole thread... I love this board.

 

[Death Animal]

Omg I´m in internet.

Death metal has blastbeats and tremolo picking, both of which are nonexistant or used very sparingly in thrash. Also, death metal never has clean vocals as the primary vocal style, whereas thrash often does. However, what I mentioned does not account for some old school death metal that features very little blastbeats and tremolo picking, such as Death and Obituary. I've always thought that most death metal can be described accurately as extreme thrash. If you listen to bands such as Malevolent Creation, Asphyx, Suffocation (Pierced from Within), Pestilence, etc. you'll hear an obvious thrash influence.

Considering death was birthed from thrash there is of course a huge influence.

I've also always associated tremolo picking with black metal more than death metal, but there is definitely some on death.

I suggest you listen to Wicked Innocence - Worship. It is about 50/50 clean to harsh vocal wise.

one is really fast speed metal and the other is speed metal taken to it's peak apex.

I sent him the album awile back so he's heard it.

 

[Mort Divine]

Oh. Well.

 

[cadavria]

trash is trash and death is death. Trash is the god father of death , so without trash there is no death metal.

I'm into more oldschool death metal and a lot of it does not have blastbeats.

 

[cookiecutter]

People always mispell thrash as trash, but no one mispells death.

 

[Carcassian]

You've all missed the truth. It's down to trousers (or, amusingly to Brits, as you Americans would say, "pants").

Thrash = skin tight black jeans, short legged, white high-topped trainers.

Death = Baggy sweat pants, canvas trainers. Shell suits.

All other explanations are folly.

 

[Demilich]

'trousers' and 'pants' are both funny sounding words.



coincidence? i think not!

 

[Life Sucks]

Yeah, I listen to it quite often, actually. And it has far less than 50% clean vocals. It doesn't even have them in every song. Omnipotence has more clean vocals, but still nowhere near 50%.

Actually most of it does. Death and Obituary are actually the only two oldschool death metal bands I can think of that don't have any blastbeats at all. Morbid Angel, Incantation, Demilich, Amorphis (1st album), Demigod, Entombed (first two), Sinister, Cannibal Corpse, Brutality, Carnage, etc., and just about any other old school dm band does incorporate blastbeats, although not all that frequently, and not in every song.

 

[skeptik]

I don't remember hearing any blastbeats in Carnage or Brutality. In fact, most Swedish and Finnish Death Metal is nearly entirely devoid of blastbeats, and that's how I like it.
