i can never tell the difference between the metals. what makes ^ that one death metal and not just heavy metal. and is nu metal only different because its new? speed metal i can kind of understand.

then this is called punk...shit, this is as metal as any of the metal songs i have seen on this site.

i dont get it.

 

Sometimes I think too much is made about the difference. The vocals come off as punk, music starts out like death metal then switches to metal. I think it sounds good, but I'm thinking a different singer. Just my opinion.

 

Refused probably falls under Post hardcore

 

and Slayer Heavy Metal/Thrash

 

Just seen these cats recently, they flal under death metal for sure, probably a tech death metal but death metal none the less https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO5mMLJR3fU

 

Slayer are a death/thrash metal hybrid

 

haha theres a method to the madness of so many genres... Like Bon Jovi/Motely Crue/Poison and Slayer/Megadeth/Anthrax have all been linked to heavy metal that being said we can certainly tell there is a difference between the two so more genres get created to separate what just doesnt fit into something smaller that makes sense. For me I recently got into Jazz...now am I a fan of all Jazz? Good god no, even Jazz has several sub genres and even someone like John Coltrane falls in several of them. His earlier work was plain and simple Jazz but later work nothing liek his earlier stuff so even a single artist needed multiple genres so folks knew what they were getting into haha

 

For death metal it certainly started with a sound but also album imagery and lyrical content were important to at the time of its inception. Basically the sound came from combining the slow heaviness of Black Sabbath but speeding it up to match the speed by Venom, Celtic Frost and Slayer even but replacing the high end screaming with low end growls and a new genres was born, thats my guess haha

 

The defining sound of death metal comes down to whether or not the lead singer sounds like he is dying

 

No, that's black metal.

 

All metal is technically black

 

Nope.

You aren't cvlt enough for this!! \\M//

 

Death metal not my thing, but to each their own.

 

Thanks for letting the death metal community know

My pleasure Dickhead.

 

Not really, unless it is from stomach aches Death metal vocals are most often those cookie monster vocals: low grunting sound that comes from the gut. Black metal vocals are more about shrieking, gargling, more comin from the throat.

Many metal bands, especially some time after another subgenre is kind of established, are just doing their own thing which causes many of them to have a crossover sound. So you can get a nu metal band with clearly death metal influences which for the metal fans makes it clear it's not just this or that. If one is not a metal fan it is very understandable you don't hear or get the distinctive subgenres and all the bickering about it. The best way to hear the difference between black, death and nu metal is listen to the differences between a band like Taake (black), Cannibal Corpse (death) and Slipknot (nu metal).

 

For example, if you are being strangled to death.
