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.

An extreme form of heavy metal which contains blast beats, double bass, growling vocals and distorted guitars. Most songs are about the grotesque and darkside of life. While most of these bands claim to have the worlds most talented musicians, they all seem to sound identical.
Hey didn't this song already pass? No, we're already on track #10, but what did you expect? It's Death Metal.
