Get the Fringe Metal mug.An aural stimulation that has somewhat been related to bleeding of the ears, an excess production of testosterone, and the utter pissing off of rap fans around the world. In fact, this form of music is just white noise set to very fast beats, but due to a certain property only evident in angry, white, suburbanite males, this white noise translates into very fast, very technical, and very well written music (see: necrophagist OMG) Death metal musicians tend to have an extreme amount of skill, using secret techniques taught to them by subliminal messaging through the Slayer Compact Disc, Reign In Blood, of only which a few copies exists today, that produces this extreme effect. It is said that there are secret rituals in Greg's Basement that are used to summon the almighty Slayer, involving the parting of a chicken, dipping your head in entrails for apples, and going trick or treating in the middle of august. Avoid death metal fans at all cost. They are infected with nerd syndrome, a very infectious disease which you may catch after only one listen to a death metal CD. If you ever encounter one of these nerds, the obvious symptoms are as follows: Obesity, extreme paleness of the skin, acne, a lack of social awareness, stuttering, the tendency to talk to oneself, a delusion that they are OMG TEH HOTNESS. Run.
Death metal fan: Blah blah blah blah Vader blah blah Monstrosity, blah blah blah blah tremelo picking blah blah blah Cryptopsy, blah blah blah blah blah blastbeats.
Death metal band: Blah blah blah blood, blah blah blah blah blah blah guts blah blah blah anal blah blah poop, blah blah blah blah knife blah blah blah satan blah god.

Get the Death metal mug.A fake metal genre that wants to fool people into thinking Brutal Death Metal is called "Slam Metal". Ignorant fools use the term "Slam Metal" to describe a wide variety of well established genres, for example: Goregrind, Brutal Death Metal and Deathgrind

Get the math metal mug.A sub-genre of Heavy Metal and Grunge that was first seen in 1993 with Korns demo "Neidermeyer's Mind". The first band to be offically labeled as Nu Metal was Coal Chamber by a columist in a metal magizine. Traditional metalheads frown upon the genre because the vocals are understandable and the solos arent anoyingly long and boring and the drummers have actuall skill and talent. the genres popularity lasted from 1997 to 2002.
Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot(early work), Crazy Town, Papa Roach, 3rd Strike, Darwins Waiting Room, Lifer, and Twisted Method are all Nu Metal bands.
