An event that happens at heavy metal gigs. Basicall before a particully heavy song (or even during a song before a heavy part) the croud will be split up:
1)either into a big circle with nobody in the centre
2) or into two colums with an approximately 10 metre gap in the middle

then when the heavy part starts(usually promted by a count down) the cround run at each other.
The most popular wall of death songs are "black label" and Laid to rest" by lamb of god

a form of moshin in which the crowd splits in half and runs at each other normally done to the song black label by lamb of god

Form of moshing most well known through Lamb of God's "Black Label". At a concert the lead vocalist of a metal band instructs the crowd that they are doing the wall of death. The crowd then divides in half...each half made up of aggresive fans ready to tear eachother apart. When the considerably heavier or heaviest part of the song kicks in, the two halves of the crowd rush one another. As you might imagine, two walls of aggressive people colliding results in serious injury and sometimes death. For this reason, many bands have been sued for calling the wall of death, so modern walls of death are formed not due to instruction, but through serious fans who know what to do when the song in question is played. This is a mosh meant to be done a metal shows...not a hardcore dance. A wall of death at an emo/hXc show is not a true wall of death.

Some time During the late 90s and early 2000s the famous metal band Lamb of Gods fans would traditionally form 2 walls facing each other, lower thier heads and charge straight into each other, carnage ensuing...they only did this during a certain song...which i cant recall at this moment the name of it at this moment.Long story short 8 people died, and the wall of death was forever banned in the USA

A massive crowd splits in two at opposite sides of a field. This is usually done at a heavy metal concert. When the music kicks in and the lead singer says so, the two groups run into one another and mosh hardcore.

an insanely awesome forom of moshing that leaves you with more than just bruises. cuts, scrapes, gaping holes, bloody noses. usually performed during a heavy/metal song, the entire crowd splits into two huge groups, on either side of the floor, then, typically started with a countdown, the two groups run at each other as fast as they can and start beating the shit out of each other at all costs (moshing). more recently than slayer and lamb of god, performed during shows by hardcore/emo bands such as blessthefall and escape the fate.

When the mosh pit splits in half and runs at each other at a certain point in the music. A good song to use is Duality by Slipknot.

Usually followed by much moshing

Joining a wall of death is very scary, but one tip, is to take a deep breath before running, and look at the wall of people in front of you and decide on who you're going to run at.

It's a huge adrenaline rush.
