Death Metal

I've watched - and I mean personally watched!!! People die from many things!!!! There's nothing attractive about it at all!!!!!! I'[ve heard Rush sing about a Red Barchetta/ Why would I want to hear a Band sing about Death.??? I know it more intimately than most and there's nothing about it that I would want to put to music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've lived in probably the most violent country on earth. I know death intimately!!! There's nothing to sing about there - believe me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi WinterLight - been there, done it, watched it, cauysed it etc etc!!! Nothin beautiful or mysteryfilled about it. Nothin at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Speak to me. Anyone want to dispute my credibility in South Africa??????? Nothin to write no amazing songs about - believe that!!!!!!!! Death is ugly and it always will be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

metal can get so cliched sometimes

ENOUGH.

Seriously, you've said this exact sentence, or one along very similar lines, in so many threads, just for the sake of pissing people off/inciting angry responses.
It's constantly repeating those same kind of extremely irritating comments that give forum boards such as this a bad name.
We know how you feel about metal, okay, but you don't need to shove it down every metal fan's throat in every second thread that somehow relates to metal.
Let it rest man, please, it's seriously getting on my nerves and other people's too, it's not doing good for anyone.

A couple questions... Who listens to death metal for the lyrical content? Who really cares what they mean, we just want to hear the guy growl? How can you even understand the lyrics to begin with?

How can you even understand the lyrics to begin with?   I'll admit, I dont like most Death metal, but I love extreme vocals, and almost every kind of metal that goes with them. Death metal is a style of music, if it were defined it's lyrical content, Almost all of metal would be diefined as death metal. Music is a form of MUSIC!

Nail, meet the hammer!  The classification death metal is in itself flawed because death metal lyrics are no longer rigidly restricted to the theme of death.  It's just the way some black metal doesn't deal with Satan or anti-Christ agendas.  Death metal, like black metal, stands for a particular style of music which is quite easily identifiable though people struggle to differentiate extreme thrash from death metal and prog metal with growls from death metal (both are NOT the same thing!).  Yes, metal genres are not named with the scientific accuracy that some prog fans may look for , because we metalheads tend to go for the riffs frequently to the exclusion of everything else, no harm in that, just a different way of looking at the music.

I wish I had been there when my dad passed away 18 years ago, I wasn't, that single fact still hurts me to this day.   Death Metal is just music, lyrics are just words. Move on Dave. Nothing to see here.

There is a lot to see here that guy with the happy face. i always like seeing him and listening to him even though my personal mother died of ovarian cancer in 1970. the doctors were a bunch of crooks and should have been the inventors of death itself.
