I've got a couple of unavoidable predictions in this thread. First off, we all know that someone is going to say the ordinary "this is shit/isn't music". Second. Elitism [I]will[/I] ensue. The constant bickering that this and that isn't death metal. Or what's even better. "Real" death metal. Third. No, band X doesn't sound the same as band Y, Z and the rest. Shut up. So let us all help out and create a good thread shall we? Alright. So I know that most of the people visiting this thread know what Death Metal is about. And for those that don't I'm going to copy/paste a quick summary of its history and meaning. [quote]Death metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal. It typically employs heavily distorted guitars, deep growling vocals, blast beat drumming, minor keys, and complex song structures with multiple tempo changes. Building from the musical structure of thrash metal and early black metal, death metal emerged during the mid 1980s. It was mainly inspired by thrash metal and early black metal acts like Slayer, Kreator, Celtic Frost, and Venom. Along with the band Death and its frontman Chuck Schuldiner, who is often referred to as "the father of death metal", bands like Possessed, Obituary and Morbid Angel are often considered pioneers of the genre. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, death metal gained more media attention as popular record labels like Earache and Roadrunner began to sign death metal bands at a rapid rate. Since then, death metal has diversified, spawning a variety of subgenres.[/quote] You can find more about the band Death in [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=953190]this excellent thread[/url]. For the melodic variant, go to [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=952311]this thread[/url]. In this band talk I am going to leave out the bigger bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Nile and the like. Those bands are almost essential and get enough exposure as it is. I would rather put forward a couple of smaller bands. Maybe you find something you like? [B]Whorecore[/B] (ex They:Swarm) Not much to say about them. They are a fairly young Israeli death metal band. They have a deep relation with the band Aborted. Together they created an EP as the band They:Swarm.

It's a death metal supergroup. Names like Mikael Åkerfeldt, Peter Tägtgren and Dan Swanö are all connected to Bloodbath.

"whorecore" is where I draw the fucking line for metal subgenres
In what context?
[QUOTE=TheHydra;23017828]"whorecore" is where I draw the fucking line for metal subgenres[/QUOTE]That's the name of the band you balls. This album is the shit: [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ltvlPJkcIR0/SjBCSQZuG-I/AAAAAAAAAJc/e9UoyHBhLos/s1600/Suffocation%2B-%2BHuman%2BWaste%2B-%2BFront.jpg[/img]
Oh lol, if you (the hydra) really thought it was a subgenre. You should read the lines underneath next time. Or at least the words following. And I agree Ian D.

One word. Nile
[QUOTE=articpenguin;23022113]One word. Nile[/QUOTE] Gods among men.
That first Whorecore song was so much heavier than I was expecting... Probably the heaviest song I've actually sort of liked.

I love Daath and I'm pretty sure that The Red Shore are either tech death or regular death. Some people tell me it's deathcore though

Braindrill literally do fuck with my brain. That drummer man. Fuck
Death Metal is something that I can actually listen to, but only Melodic. Lamb of God is one hell of a band. However instrumental death metal (minus the fucking growl) is somewhat beautiful.
Brain Drill are fucking ridiculous.

[QUOTE=Kazumi;23017557][B]Heinous Killings[/B] The FP-user absinthe told me about them two years ago or so.[/QUOTE] weeooo been listening to more Six Feet Under recently and they're pretty cool a lot more like older "original" death metal and by "like older" I mean slower
Suffocation is the one super-fast-death (whatever) band that I can listen to. I can't really get into cannibal corpse. that aside, Atheist is and always will be the king of Tech Death
Don't know if this counts but it's kinda hard to put them in a genre. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc98u-eGzlc[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A_tSyJBsRQ[/media]
