Death Metal: It's A Serious Business, Kids...

[cliche guevara]

A distinction needs to be made. Death Metal is basically extreme thrash. Bands like Napalm Death, Slayer, At The Gates. Black metal is all the Norwegian shit with the face paint, Burzum, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor etc. If you can't tell the difference from listening, then look at their jeans. If they're blue, the band are Death Metal.

I can understand being annoyed when your guitarist fluffs a few notes, but stabbing them is a bit much, isn't it?

Here's hoping they all fluff their notes and they all stab each otehr to death....

Napalm Death and Slayer as death metal? I don't think so.

I'd put Napalm Death as grindcore and Slayer as thrash.

Morbid Angel , Death and Obituary would fit under the death metal banner.

btw its death metal i find hard to listen to, that really is closer to just indistinguishable walls of noise

I can't really distinguish between death and black metal, not tried too hard, but I did a tour of Finland with a load of bands of this genre and heard and experienced enough to write the post above.

I shared a tour bus with them all FFS! If that doesn't give you enough idea what does!?

Differing tastes n all that... really. I used to listen to some black n death metal, and I can't really stand it now, although I can still kinda appreciate the musicianship vaguely, and the amazing poses with weapons of groups like Immortal!

PKs sum-up was pretty awesome. It just seems like such a lame and deluded scene really, seemed in a negative vibe and definitely not music to relax to. All the anti Christian shite pisses me off too, as does endless crapping on about Satan and paganism blah blah blah. Even worse is the nationalistic and "racially aware" side to such things.... which is just total cack. I can't be arsed with any of that. Screw burning down 900 year old churches and stuff too, just to prove a point. That makes me sad-panda

Anyway, the point is... King Tubby is better than every single Black Metal band that has ever existed!

EDIT: LOL anyone else seen that film Spun and remember the trailer tweaker with the fat mum who loves Satyricon?

yeah. it was the kid who loves satyricon, not his mum. and Spun was a nasty, pointless 90-minute jeans advert of a film, for what it's worth...

I just listened to One By One actually, and it was pretty ace. Oh gnoez I may have to go decapitate some porkers...

It's a wicked film anyway, you lot would hate it though....
