Death Metal

Black Sabbath Vol. 4 is one of the greatest hard rock albums in the history of hard rock.

I have to agree, but I'm favoring Master of Reality and Sabotage these days.
Here's some multiple-chord death metal for you:

If you like Black Sabbath, I suggest checking out Saint Vitus and Cathedral:

death, I listened to the first band and after about 1.5 minutes I had to turn it off. That is exactly the type of music my sons band played and he listened to. When we would go for a drive, he always had a cd to play for me and I really tried to be supportive about the music he liked, but it all sounded the same to me. I would play stuff like Led Zeppelin to show him the difference and while he did appreciate it, he liked his better.
It just goes to show how everyone's tastes are so different, and that my taste is superior to his. lol

If his band put out any material, would you shoot it my way?

 

[cigrmaster]

death, his band played a few local places in Tampa, but they never recorded anything. I went to one of his shows showing my support of him and his friends, but my ears hurt for a couple of days later. My son played the bass guitar and he had the long hair as did all of the band members except the lead singer. They would whip their hair around to the music and of course the chicks dug them. Their lead singer's father was a nephew of George Harrison( member of the Beetles). The kid couldn't sing like Harrison, all he did was scream at the top of his lungs like all the other death metal bands.

 

[deathmetal]

Ah, my favorite Beatle (not really a fan however). His book I, Me, Mine is worth reading!

 

[hawke]

Simple ploys for attention... it works!

 

[deathmetal]

Yeah, but do you like death metal?

Orley -

I have a couple of albums by Nine Inch Nails that I like and play from time to time, and I also have an interesting album I got in the late 80s that works the senses called Nosferatu by Art Zoyd.

You have albums? And you can still play them?

What's the difference between death metal, speed metal, and thrash metal. And does Suicidal Tendencies fit I liked their 1st two albums

 

[mayfair70]

Suicidal Tendencies -I'd consider it punk with metal overtones.

What's the difference between death metal, speed metal, and thrash metal.

Same Songs Different Days??? I think they are pretty much the same. I heard speed, thrash, then death metal in that order over the years. YMMV. Someone else can no doubt delineate further.

 

[theosprey247]

Ok thanks

As we used it:

...where death metal would be more the stuff you heard above.

 

[theosprey247]

Man I most of those albums (on cassette of course). But. we just called it heavy metal. My friends and I refused to call hair bands like Poison, Ratt, and post Shout at The Devil Motley Crue metall :x

 

[mayfair70]

HA!! We called Ratt, Poison, Twisted Sister and the like "Hair Bands" to differentiate them from "true" metal like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Sabbath. Yeah, I couldn't listen to metal after Motley Crue did Home Sweet Home and it infected the airwaves like an STD. It ruined the tonality for me. I came to resent slinky strings and too much reverb and distortion, and moved toward Chicago and Delta Blues, Classical, "Alternative", Big Band, 50's, 60's, & 70's rock and indigenous music.
It may be a generational thing, I was born in 1970, and some genre labels do come after the fact. What I called rockabilly one day my mother said was just rock-n-roll when it came out. DRI's DWI was punk, Cryptic Slaughter was Speedmetal, Corrosion Of Conformity was just awesome! Suicidal Tendencies' (for the first album) vocalist is almost indistinguishable stylistically from, say, Zero Boys and fit under American hardcore Punk. Its only looking back that I call it punk/metal. I had listened to the Ramones since I was like ten. The rest, as you say, we called speed metal and if they grunted and you couldn't understand the lyrics at all it was Deathmetal. I had few and far between encounters with Metal after 1986 or so.
I have not heard COC in decades and it was a real treat to hear it again. Today, I can see how the different styles co-existed on a continuum and branched out from common influences and evolved over time. Thanks for indulging a music Nazi.

I'm surprised no one has posted the best Death Metal album ever created. Chuck Schuldiner was the father of Death Metal and in my opinion Death was and still is the best Death Metal band.

cigrmaster -

Excuse me but lumping in any of those death metal bands with Black Sabbath is blasphemy. Ozzie actually sings, he doesn't just scream into a microphone with lyrics that no one can understand.

It's not Ozzie, it's Ozzy. LOL

 

[phil67]

Here's the roots of the genre:

Just too bad the roots took hold and it propagated.
Sorry, but just not my thing as it all simply sounds the same with someone screaming unintelligible lyrics. But, if it's your thing then by all means enjoy. :wink:

I'm a child of the 60's and love many genres of music. I challenge you to not rock out to some ABBA and Bee Gee's
Operatic death metal does seem to resonate with me lately though (Xandria/Epica/Evenescnence/Lacuna Coil, et al.) but I still appreciate old school punk.
My 21yr old son thinks I am weird because I still like Willie Nelson. *shrug*
