What is death metal

"Death metal" is a kind of music that is too extreme to be taken seriously. It not only scrapes your calloused eardrums with noise, avant-garde classical music, jazz and noise, but also amplifies them with amplifiers and roars them out with the power of a meat grinder. Extreme times lead to extreme power, which roars out concepts of aggression and insanity in a sinister tune that is the soundtrack of the "hopeless policies" of the Reagan Bush era and the hallucinations of the Christian millennium. It’s a shadowy pursuit of hostility and disillusionment through musical pathways.

Death metal is not music that worships death, but it overcomes and accepts death and fear by overturning the wall of denial that holds humanity as collateral around the world.

Death metal is the sound from hell, like the call of the devil, like the call of Satan, but after the end of a dream, it makes people cherish everything they have.

Death metal is an explosion of the most primitive animalistic nature of mankind. Violence, desire for conquest, and fear fill the entire music, stimulating the desires in your heart and making you crazy and trembling without knowing it.

For those who have not experienced the charm of death metal, most death metal seems to be a kind of strange random and violent metal music, focusing on the process of death, death, and the manipulation of human destiny. of callousness and cunning dishonesty. Characteristics of Death Metal 1. The performance of these bands is extremely simple, unlike ordinary heavy metal bands that add many effects to the instruments, or use fancy fingering techniques such as string tapping and large and small overtones. However, their music has a "metallic" flavor to it, noisy and heavy, with noise components from the instruments to the vocals. The combination is clever and has an unexpected effect, and expresses the concept of "metal music" vividly. 2. The most outstanding thing about these bands is that the rhythm of the drums is extremely amazing. They use double-sided double-sided drums and double casters. The speed is indescribably fast. The second is the use of cymbol, which is much faster and more frequent than ordinary bands, and the sound is harsh. The third is that the use of drums seems to replace the guitar solo in ordinary metal, accounting for a large proportion. 3. The noise of the lead singer is basically two types: "roar" (low) and "howl" (high), and most lead singers use real voices rather than relying on microphones or recording technology. 4. The anti-religious consciousness is very obvious. From the band name to the song title, a lot of religious terms are involved, which are difficult to understand. The content mostly involves death, abuse, insanity, split personality, moral crisis, etc. Generally speaking, it reflects the dark side of human society, so this kind of music itself also appears dark and ugly, just like the stench of dead bodies. 5. The cover design is full of bloody human body fragments, or anatomical diagrams of human muscles and nerves, or dead people crucified, or images of demons from horror movies, which makes people uncomfortable at first sight. 6. Every album is like running water, without any chance to pause for breath. The drummer hits quickly from beginning to end, the bass and guitar make huge and harsh explosions, and the vocalist’s high and low beastly roars are all unbearable. This is an insult to human beings. It’s a huge test (destruction) of the auditory system, and when you take off the headphones, you will feel a sense of relief. 7. No sex or drug content. "Death Metal" was a generational angst-ridden roar that suggested something was wrong with teenagers. No matter how much your parents hated it, it was the last train into the violent world of metal.

[Edit this paragraph] Death Metal ROOTS

(83~85, HELLHAMMER, CELTIC FROST, BATHORY, MANTAS/DEATH, POSSESSED, DEATH, MASTER)

The earliest extreme metal bands should be Sweden's BATHORY (who claims to be the founder of death metal since 1983) and Switzerland's HELLHAMMER (who only released one EP in 1983, which was "Apocalyptic Raids") , the band changed its name to CELTIC FROST in 1984). But both bands are recognized as pioneers of black metal. I personally think that CELTIC FROST's continuous single-stepping "fake double-stepping", growling-like fake distortion vocals and heavy chords were the greatest inspiration and influence on the death bands of the late 1980s.

Of course, around 1983, there were bands like METALLICA and EXODUS from the West Coast or MERCYFULL FATE from Denmark. They were also very extreme bands at the time. Although they are not directly related to the subsequent death, most of the death musicians of the early 1990s, such as Chuck Schuldiner, grew up listening to these bands. There is also a person named Paul Speckmann who participated in MASTER, ABOMINATION, DEATH STRIKE and is also quite qualified. He claims to have raised the flag of death in the city of Chicago in the northern United States as early as the early 1980s.

[Edit this paragraph] Death Metal Old School Death

-Old School Death

(85~88, DEATH, POSSESSED, MORBID ANGEL, SEPULTURA, INCUBUS, AUTOPSY, early MASTER, AGRESSOR, ASPHYX, BENEDICTION)

At this time, the underground death metal music has reached a mature trajectory. The first person to sign and sell was DEATH. Around 1987, INCUBUS and MORBID ANGEL also came into place one after another. This stage is also the era when death is most repositioned both in terms of concept and music. In particular, DEATH's first few albums and demos made great contributions to this. Each of Chuck's albums has always been ahead of the curve and at the same time played a somewhat leadership role. Most people in China believe that "Spirital Healings" is the most important early work of DEATH. But in my opinion, "Scream Bloody Gore", which was recorded as early as 1984, is the album that most promoted the development of death [its tracks were completed in 1983!]. No matter how everyone comments on it, they took the most difficult first step, and their works at that time were also the most important monuments to death! The album's production and music skills are irrelevant. The key is the musical style and ideological foundation laid by this album for death metal. The popularity of the name Death Metal is largely related to the name of the band DEATH. At that time, many people's understanding of death was music like DEATH (the band). It's a pity that this band has disappeared with the departure of Chuck. Although MORBID ANGEL became the new favorite of death in the late 1980s, and its technology and techniques are on par with DEATH, I still have a soft spot for DEATH. Continental Europe is also unwilling to remain silent. The underground movement in the late 1980s was very active, but there were too few bands that could make a name for themselves. On the contrary, it made bands like KREATOR, SODOM, and DESTRUCTION popular in this era of fan-driven music. At this stage, most of the vinyl discs and demos have been reprinted through post-production. Friends who wonder where death comes from can get the answer. Of course, music fans who pay attention to production quality and playing skills don't need to spend money on this.

[Edit this paragraph]Death of Death

-Death in Death/The Turn of Death

This is a very difficult day, traditional death It has come to an end, and other extreme music is making great strides in development. However, the blind view of death fans still remains at "deviating from the original death standards is disloyal to death and a rebellious act of separatists." Of course, this is understandable, because extreme death can be widely accepted as a mainstream form of metal music, relying on the spirit of its supporters to stand firm. But between 1990 and 1992, the vitality of death metal was completely exploited by greedy record companies. Innovation is imperative, and music fans are a little overwhelmed. The alternatives that the record distribution industry has rushed to launch are obviously not trustworthy, and neither music fans nor the bands themselves can find a better way out. Many bands have abandoned the traditional route and started to spontaneously try new directions. The more successful ones are CARCASS and ENTOMBED, which have moved closer to the core of rock, but these are only a few; most of the bands that have made improvements have been somewhat blindly ridiculed by music fans. KREATOR's "Renewal" was the most typical precedent for the development of death metal at that time.

In the heyday of death, only percussion masters like KREATOR, SODOM, and SEPULTURA still had a place. But "Renewal" is a bit too innovative, and music fans don't buy into the superb musical level. They want something more exciting and enjoyable; the deaths of innovative groups such as the German death cannon MORGOTH, the Dutch giant GOREFEST, and the French MASSACRA Bands were treated equally [see Death Rock]. The only development that has received moderate praise is the development of bands such as PARADISE LOST, SENTENCE, AMORPHIS, and TIAMAT, which were originally melodic death, in the direction of gothic doom [see gothic death]. Some bands that have been wandering underground for many years have begun to get tired of the ordinary death style. They try to express death in a more avant-garde way. However, in this regard, ATHEIST or FOCUS have long occupied the commanding heights, and the effect is also more harmful than good. I don’t know how many good bands have died in this ridiculous era. In fact, at this time, European and American death was still the mainstream style in the underground metal world, but the band's survival depended on selling. At this time, record companies were no longer interested in death metal, which had gradually reduced profits. They were thinking about the next trend. How to hype it up. Some people say that industry will be a substitute for death; some are optimistic about the new type of percussion [later called Nu-Metal] that has just emerged with PANTERA and SEPULTURA; some are looking for new business opportunities in the goth/doom field, and of course there are some new companies in the field. Digging for treasures in the black metal arena. All in all, this is the most confusing age of death. The saddest thing is that I have witnessed with my own eyes that many die-hard death fans went to listen to Dee music because of their disappointment in death...

[Edit this paragraph] Death Metal Old Fashion/Retro Group

-Old pop/retro revival group

When some big-name bands began to try to develop in new directions, electronic, jazz, industrial, and goth emerged in large numbers. There are some bands that have always adhered to their style of the 1980s, and some die-hard metal supporters who play black metal or death have chosen to return to the death of the 1980s, or even the extreme metal state before death metal, on the road to new development. More and more bands showed this trend, so it gradually became a trend and it became popular. This kind of band not only returns in terms of music, but also the cover design, logo design, clothing, and even living habits have returned to the feeling of the 1980s. It is divided into two factions, one is "generzheng". During this period, American veteran DECESEAD, Japanese RITUAL CARNAGE, American veteran NUNSLAUGHTER, Swedish famous group BLOODBATH, and Norwegian star group AURA NOIR have launched highly acclaimed works; There is also a category of "Miaoerhong", where some new bands have emerged to play old things, such as WITHCHBUNNER, HYPNOSIA, COUNTESS, NECRODEATH... Their appearance has made the already fashionable metal world become strong and persistent again.

[Edit this paragraph] Death Metal Merchandise

-Death Metal Packaging

(Threatening, bloody cover design, T-shirts, anti-Christ slogans, Head-shaking tool: long straight hair, wine and meat through the intestines, and friends' hearts)

Death metal has been loved by many metal fans for many years, which is also due to the cultural phenomenon surrounding death metal. Since death formed an independent metal style, most newcomers to death may have been attracted by the unique culture common in the death community. Such as the glaring gory covers of death metal records or generally anti-Christ material. They began to seek excitement in T-shirts with threatening slogans and noise-like music, in order to scare their younger siblings or neighborhood children (and of course, to show off how cool they were among their peers) , rebellious parents, angry religious teachers are suspected). The more you come into contact with it, you will find that there is a deeper meaning beneath the rough and dirty surface. Through music, you will make friends with people like you, have parties and drinks together, go to shows to have your hair slicked, vent your dissatisfaction with the world, and discuss topics about life and death. The appearance of death metal is not only exciting, it also has the function of filtering and camouflaging extreme music fans. Only music fans who really like death by nature will stay in the circle.

The long hair is not for beauty but to shake the head [Mosh]. The various Death T-shirts always show that one is a Death fan [You will see a group of people wearing the same clothes at a Death performance : Long hair hanging down the back, black clothes and pants, black sneakers or combat boots, black T-shirt with the words CANNIBAL CORPSE, OBITUARY or DEICIDE printed on it], punk pseudo-metal guys, stay away from us! Rushing and yelling at the scene is not a fight, but a way to vent the confusion and helplessness accumulated in daily life. This is a sport. The experience of everyone hugging each other and tossing their hair simultaneously was both spectacular and an expression of deep friendship. Nowadays, the image of dead people has changed somewhat, just as the development of music has also become diversified. But the nature of death remains unchanged. In my mind, death metal is a sincere friendship banner where cheerful and cheerful people gather together. Hail All Death Metal Maniac!

[Edit this paragraph] Death Metal Anti-Mosh

-Backlash

(Oppose everything about mainstream death metal, anti-Christ Ornaments, spike wristbands, Corpse Printing, mysticism, gatherings and sacrificial rituals in the Black Forest, advocating using war to solve all problems)

Radiohead, Matchbox 20, Smashing Pumpkins and other big stars once " Thinking of "love", I asked everyone not to collide and cause harm at the concert, and I also proposed the slogan Anti-mosh, but I am not talking about these celebrities. It originated in the early 1990s, when Earache and the death band it led were popular. Metal bands all over the world were flocking to it. In order to compete with Earache's Mosh number, the Deathlike Silence record company was founded by Euronymous. He first used this word as a record number, and even made the slogan "No fun, No core, No mosh, No trends" on the inner pages of the record as well as a symbol against the recording engineer Scort Burns. Everything seems extreme, but it has become It opposes everything that mainstream death metal calls for. This extreme thinking is a bit like China's "Destroying the Four Olds". Many black metal bands, led by this idea, participated in the prosperous black metal trend in the early 1990s. However, the person who invented this slogan did not expect that the people who shouted this slogan were more curious about mysticism or joining black metal. In order to show off their individuality, these types of people with completely different purposes mix together, organize some evil-named church organizations in the name of anti-Christ, make impulsive remarks in magazines and TV stations, and organize in forests or caves. Sacrificial activities and even the burning of Christian churches. They often dress themselves in "skeleton costumes", wear spiked wrist guards and bullet belts, and advocate using violence and war to solve problems. After this trend passed, the black metal camp began to split into various branches for different purposes. Nowadays, there are very few bands that are as practical as they were back then, but this slogan is no longer a simple slogan opposed to traditional death metal, but has become a symbol for more black metal bands to promote their firm determination. , synonymous with True Black Metal. The Anti-Mosh Revival!

[Edit this paragraph] Death Metal SOLD-OUT/Trend Phenomenon

-The phenomenon of those who came before us to support trees and those who come after us to enjoy the shade

This phenomenon exists in the death metal and black metal circles. Many established bands that have completed the "accumulation of capital (fame, creativity, excellent works)" in the early 1990s are now entering the mainstream music industry. There are some individual bands that may choose death n' roll or avant-garde/electronic music fusion, but their metal base is getting further and further away. But this contrast is more obvious in the black metal world, because the changes of their junior bands have simply become intolerable. Perhaps the attitude of black metal at the beginning was too serious. In fact, bands like DIMMU BORGIR and CRADLE OF FILTH performed well when they first came out. They were indeed accepted by dark metal. This had nothing to do with technology or status. But later on, some of their dirty practices gradually revealed their own mentality.

In an era when children are most seeking novelty and individuality, they are more likely to be in the limelight than popular metal bands because they have menacing costumes and strange, almost dramatic expressions, and like Marily Manson, they can impress those ignorant children in the square. Perform, give interviews to mainstream magazines, hang out with porn cover girls, or simply wear Adidas on stage to sing "I Have an Evil Soul." Without a pure mentality, the music written will naturally not be pure. The "energy" of black metal was "expanded" by them, or "used" by them, which made those traditional-minded but thoughtful bands dismiss them and divide them. Now the black metal market is being divided up by DB, COF and a bunch of follower bands. They no longer belong to real black metal, but they are still making money with the appearance of black metal.

[Edit this paragraph] Death Metal Satan and Church of Satan

-A brief discussion of the anti-Christ genre

In the world of extreme metal music, the anti-Christ spirit is It is the most common theme, so it is necessary to mention some different schools of thought here (here is just a brief discussion from a cultural perspective and does not involve any religious views - rice). Lucifer and Satan are two different characters in the Bible. Lucifer, the original archangel (also translated as: the one with light, the one with light), later led a third of the angels in heaven to rebel. After his defeat, he was thrown into the Abyss (abyss, bottomless pit) of eternal calamity. It is said that only Lucifer still retains the glorious six-winged image of an angel, while all the other angels who followed him transformed into ugly images. In most international versions of the Bible, there is no record that Satan is Lucifer. In Revelation Chapter 12 (The Book of Revelation Chapter 12), Lucifer's war with heaven is described, but the name Satan is not mentioned. In various Bible translations, it is only mentioned once in the English King James Version. In Dante's "Divine Comedy" and some other influential theological works, the same character is used as Lucifer, Satan, Beelzebob, Dis, etc. title. So later it emerged that Satan and Lucifer were the same person. Satan, the name of the devil, an extremely sinful spirit, is always the enemy of Christ, but in the Bible he is still created by God, controlled by God, and will eventually be defeated by God. Satanism has been around almost as long as the Bible has existed. The Church of Satan was founded on April 30, 1966 by Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey. It is currently the most influential Satanic sect and is completely different from previous Satanic sects. It has a completely new view of individualism and social evolution. explain. In the teachings, Satan is only a symbol of human beings' own individual pursuit and extraordinary energy. It is not a specific materialized image for people to worship. According to the teachings of C.O.S., the Satan spirit exists in the heart of every person who pursues individual thinking.

[Edit this paragraph]The style of death metal

Death metal has been underground from the beginning, so many people don’t know much about this style. Some people have bought several death-style albums but don't know how to distinguish them.

Nowadays, major extreme websites and forums have many professional articles that introduce the death metal style in detail, but these articles will not be of much help to those friends who have never heard or rarely heard of death. On the contrary, people who have heard about death for a long time have gained a lot. I thought about it for a long time and decided to introduce the style in the form of a band, so that friends who are new to death metal can know which category it belongs to even if they buy an album they don't understand. Also, the first sentence I wrote after each band's name is their style for easy reference. However, there are many bands that have different changes in different periods, so I only write their most representative style. Let’s talk about their transformation later! And I see some bands always add a lot of nouns in front of them when describing their style. I don’t think it’s necessary because every band has its own characteristics. If so, every band has its own style. .

Note: The translated name of the band is in brackets! ! !

DEATH (Death) - [Traditional Death Metal] DEATH's first album is said to be the beginning of death metal. His early albums can represent the most extreme transition from tapping to death at that time. Traditional death metal. In the later period, DEATH changed a lot and made infinite leaps in technology.

Their albums have repeatedly appeared on major music charts, but their music is by no means commercial. , there is not much change between the band's early days and now, except that it is not as strong as the percussion flavor in the early days. It’s also worth mentioning that the band’s music is very dark and obscure, and it also has some influence on early black metal! The contribution to grindcore music cannot be underestimated.

The later "SWANSONG" even created the style of death rock.

SUFFOCATION (Suffocation) - [Cruel Death Metal] The originator of cruel death, SUFFOCATION is known as the god of cruel death. Its cruel nature has been revealed from its early demos.

The absolutely cruel god of death!

CANNIBAL CORPSE (Cannibal Corpse)-[Cruel Death Metal] Speaking of brutal death, we have to mention CANNIBAL CORPSE. CANNIBAL CORPSE’s greatest contribution to brutal death metal is its most bloody and cruel Straightforward description, from cover to lyrics.

The band is from Germany and pays more attention to melody than American bands. It is very different from bands like DYING FETUS!

ENTOMBED - [Old-Fashioned Melodic Death Metal] The reason why I put "Old-Fashioned" in front is because it is very different from the melody death we hear today, and is close to traditional death. Pay more attention to the melody. Now the band has changed their style and has nothing to do with death or even metal.

In Flames-[Melody Death Metal] The representative of the new style of melody death. Personally, I think this style has deviated from the essence of death metal! Now the band's stuff is almost like nu-metal!

ARCH ENEMY - [Melody Death Metal] The band created by the two guitarists of CARCASS can be said to have continued many things from "HEARTWORK". The band is becoming more popular year by year, but the style is still the same. as always!

NONEXISX-[Melody Death Metal] The former vocalist of ARCH ENEMY has his own band. The music is very good, the melody is good, and it does not ignore technology like the current bands, but I always think that this kind of thing and Death metal has little to do with it. Haha personal opinion!

VITAL REMAINS - [Traditional Death], an old band formed in 1989, the style has not changed much, the music melody is handled relatively well, and the speed is not very fast.
