death metal

In contrary to monotone hip-hop, cliche R&B, or computer generated bubblegum pop or trance music, death metal is played by people with instruments, who have the ability to generate melody from said instrument. In contrary to the similar style Black Metal, the lyrics are rarely a mere worshipping of Satan, but are usually about life and death, religion, and deeper things that people who agree with most of the above comments usually don't think about. There's a big difference between the better and worse death metal bands, and many crossover genres are used for originality in the music. For example, there's viking death metal (Amon Amarth), melodic death metal (Scar Symmetry), thrash death metal (Konkhra), black death metal (Naglfar), orchestral death metal (Hollenthon), and many others. The diversity of death metal is but one example of the many subgenres of metal, which is of course the most advanced kind of music nowadays available. The reason death metal remains underground is due to the facts that people are brainwashed with music that is so easy to swallow that they are unable to comprehend the complexity of more advanced kinds of music such as metal.

Several examples of death metal are mentioned above.

death metal

Brutal. Is there really anymore to say? In your face blast beats, crushing guitars, and fuck blasting bass lines make it one of the heaviest genres, but also one of the most unappreciated.

Nadroj: Deathmetal is satanic, and bad. The music is simple, and has a structure as weak as the twin towers.
Metalhead: You're a fag. You have no balls.

Old Bridge Metal Militia

They were a group of the most extreme metal heads (a.k.a. "The Old Bridge Metal Militia") who lived in the town Old Bridge, New Jersey. They would let bands who were touring the area, stay at their houses when they were in town for a gig. Bands like Slayer, Metallica, Motorhead to name a few. They would get these bands to play at parties in their basements.

The Old Bridge Metal Militia were even immortalized in song. The Megaforce compilation Born to Metalize has a track called "One Night in Old Bridge," while Blessed Death had a song called "Knights of Old Bridge."

false metal

Originated by Manowar, they originally used it to describe the music of the Glam/Hair bands of the Eighties. In a modern context, it can be used to describe numerous Nu-Metal bands.

"Manowar waged open verbal, and occasionally physical, warfare upon those who could not genuinely play their instruments or who were half hearted in embracing the true spirit of their beloved heavy metal"

-Manowar: Anthology. Inset by Dave Ling.

That poser only likes False Metal.

Quit listening to that False Metal and stick some Manowar on!

Industrial Metal

A surprisingly rare breed of metal that includes some form of electronic or computer generated instrumentals or effects. NIN, Static-X, Fear Factory, Rob Zombie, are a few examples of bands whom are or have created industrial metal.

Industrial metal is my favorite kind of metal.
