Death metal has been a very big part of my life..
its the music that i relate 2 n love the most...
but many ppl dun get it..its to scary or just plain weird to them..( judging frm the name itself )
well i must say it may b an acquired taste to some,
but for me i fell in love with it the 1st time i heard death metal...
its definetly a very unique form of music, but 1 things for sure its far better then all the crap thats being played on the radio nowdays...
compare it to all the stupid pop stuff out thr, 3 chords n 1 melody..with no dynamics n real complexity to it!!!
come on, i bet my grandma cld play all the dumb songs that r on the radio now days..
and the lyrics are plan nonsense..( sex,booz, money,girls )
like thr's no more important issues.. not to say death metal n metal in general dun hav stupid lyrics..but thr's much more quality in the lyrics in metal anyday compared to the stuff on the radio..
Death Metal has evolved to an unbelieveable number of genre's...1 of my fav is Melodic Death Metal ( In Flames being my fav band of all time)...and stuff like technical death metal play by bands such as ( dying fetus, meshuggah, etc ) are so complex n sick..cant believe ppl can even say death metal is not real music...then thr are bands like cannibal corpse who are increadble musicians who hav like sum of the most difficult riffs i have ever seen in death metal...n though thr lyrics are mostly gore based, they explain thr lyrics as a form of art which i totally get..
i always believe that music is an expression of the soul and an outlet to express issues n things that we face in life..(not bullshit bout partyin n gettin laid )
its funny how ppl say death metal's all bout gore n death...that may hav been at its humble beginnings but it has evolved to various issues from politics ( Napalm Death, Dying Fetus, phobia, etc)
to relationships and inner struggles...( which is a more prominent feautre this days overall in Heavy Metal music )
And even Christianity n God..(Mortification, Impending Doom, etc )
i know i probably am abit bias as to my view on pop music n my love for death metal..but wth, death metal is a part of my life n i'll b listenin n playin it till my grave..
and the worst part is all the bullshit that Deathcore has dun to tarnish Death metal..with the exception of a few really good band (The Black Dahlia Murder , All shall perish,With Blood Comes Cleansing , etc ) its really sad that deathcore has been on the rise in last few years and although it has gotten alot of media attention, its just seems to be another overrated genre n lately has been pushed down the ranks to all this young school kids (i hav no disrespect for them ) but its a fact..
the worst part is how deathcore is becoming a way of connecting with scene & indie fashion..
( wat a nigtmare for us death metal fans )
are we on the verge of havin scene kids with thr coloured shirts, shoes n weird sunglasses, etc polute our death metal gigs...
im not condemmin scene kids or ppl who listen to deathcore, rather its sad that many of them only know deathcore n the new bands now days ( such as Bring me the horizon )
but they probably would not hav heard of (Mortification, dismember, entombed, hate eternal, divine empire, malevolent creation , bolt thrower, obituary, etc )
common if u wanna remotely even like a genre thats called DEATHcore or a band that plays it,
u better FREAKIN know its roots..(dun b a poser plz )
