What do we mean by "groove" in thrash / death metal?

[Reign in Acai]

Jump da fuck up!

 

[Claws of Perdition]

Hammer time!

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

hahaha.... I always say this: if you didn't fill in the paperwork, you're not a fucking immigrant, you're a tourist working illegally. so get the fuck out or do your paper work.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Groove in thrash = Machine Head and thus the suck.

Okay... give this a chance, tell me if I'm way off:

Listen to "The Doomsayer". Tell me that's not the grooviest death metal ever.

2:45 - 4:00 in this song is the very definition of groove in death metal:

Vomitory - Partly Dead

Yeah, some parts in this song are pretty groovy. Some other parts are downright non-groovy, though.

Hey Henrik -- can you post that one again please?

 

[Henrik Main]

Hello

 

[spaffe]

Sure, it's extremly melodious (and therefore perhaps not "groove" per se), but I immediately associate groove with Arghoslent and their Incorrigible Bigotry album. Or would you say that's just catchy riffs and great melodies? If so, what's the difference?

 

[Henrik Main]

Hello

:danceboy:

 

[JayKeeley]

OK I downloaded it already -- will listen shortly. Will have to be discreet cos I'm at work. I suppose I should use the headphones.

[lurch70]

this new ANATA disc is kicking my ass all over the place as well ... less techy than the previous one ... just nice fat crunch

 

[Krilons Resa]

I dont listen to it much, but when I do, Anata kick my ass.

 

[lurch70]

try this new disc ... it's a bit of a punch in the face

Galloping death/thrash!? Woah this rules. Listen to that riff/time change at 1:30 on "Destiny" and then the melody at 2:00. This is like Maiden meets Kreator or something.

 

[JayKeeley]

you know, there's an old in flames thing going on with this AMON DIN band too, especially on the "Umbra" track. Loving this.

 

[lurch70]

yeah it's great shit ... hooked me on first listen ... there is some masturbation type soloing on that Umbra track as well ... all of you should drool over that.

 

[General Zod]

The Amon Din is pretty solid. Going to queue up the Anata later and check them out. Thanks.

As for the original thread subject, if I had any odea what "groove" referred to, in respect to heavier music, than I can assure you I know longer do, after reading this thread.
