A subgenre of death metal where "slam" riffs and brutality are heavily emphasized. Usually just called slam for
short. Slam riffs are characterized by their
slow to
mid-tempo, low notes, and groove. NOT to be confused with a deathcore/metalcore breakdown.
Chambered Nautilus: "I fucking
love brutal slamming death metal."
Giant Isopod: "Same here
dude. Have you heard that one sick slam in Devourment's Heaving Acid?"
Emo Jellyfish: "
OMG! My favorite slam band is Avenged Sevenfold!"
Chambered Nautilus: *shoots chain lightning at him*
