Bottomfeeders who price gouge on CDs and screw artists out of what is rightfully theirs by forcing them sign draconian contracts. Fail to recognize that CDs are a dying medium, and that P2P networks are the wave of the future. Shuts down P2P networks by claiming they are costing the artists money, when the RIAA itself is in fact the biggest leech/thief of them all. Consists largely of older, conservative/reactionary suits who know nothing about music. Universally hated for its stupidity and hypocrisy, the RIAA constantly moves its servers in a futile effort to prevent them from being hacked.

Death Metal is a form of music evolved from thrash metal in the 1980s. The band Death popularized the name with the song "Death by Metal", as long as their name. The song by Possessed also gave the entire genre a debated name credibility which is still disputed to this day. Death Metal is catergorized by its gutteral growling vocals, thickened guitar tones with sometimes heavy distortion properties, and blast beats which can range from a normal to very fast speed. The vocals and drumming and the pure tell-all of a death metal band, the gutteral bellows are began in the stomach yet shaped with the throat to release a significant sound to raise and lower the pitch of the music in general, while the drumming is blast beat and dependant (mainly) upon the bass drums. Metal evolved through the days, adding elements to grow into Gore Metal, encorporate Grindcore into their elements (Death/Grind). The country and time changes the style, as can be seen through Dismember, Morbid Angel, Cryptopsy, Nile, Origin, and the likes.
