listening to such intense music becomes cancer to my ears after 1 minute of it

also it all starts to sound the same

I was skipping around through this playlist you linked and 9/10 of the songs i went to all sounded the same instrumentally ...

the music is heavily distorted. You have to listen closely to understand it but that album has fantastic riffs and melodies



here's another band with great melodies

If you like that garbage there is something wrong with you. As much as I enjoy the instrumentals the vocals just destroy it

Edit: In saying that, this is one of the greatest South Park clips ever

Some music is just unaesthetic to some peoples ears. For me heavy metal just isn’t pleasing...I wish it got me hyped up and was an additional genre that I could add to my playlist but it does nothing for me.

Usually the instruments are too grungy/distorted. Combine that with terrible growling and yelling, and you’ve got chit music. I love metal, and it’s most of what I listen to, but death metal stains it tbh.

it's designed to accentuate the intensity of the music, not to really be singing


there are metal singers who are fantastic though







but that's power/progressive metal

Look at the albums that have been posted in this thread. Both from the mid-90s. DM is a genre of music that peaked creatively like two generations ago. Most new stuff just isn't that good. It's like asking why people don't listen to bebop or Miami freestyle-these are old genres and frankly everyone who would be interested is already aware of it. Young people aren't going to invest in dead art forms.

I love all metal in it's own way


I love the brutal bludgeoning sound of death metal like immolation and the beautiful sound of a band like symphony x

sounds pretty good to me. I think most people make the mistake of starting out in death metal, of course it will sound bad. It's similar to hard drugs, you need use some gateway drugs and once their potency wears off, make the transition.

Start off with heavy metal/power/doom metal, eventually you may desire something a bit heavier and faster (thrash/black/death which are all derivatives of heavy metal).

I like Immolation too, don't get me wrong, but you're proving my point. They've been making records since what 1992? The guys in the band are pushing 60. Young people don't want to listen to their grandfather's music, lol. They want to listen to other young people make new, fresh, novel sounds. I just don't see why a teenager today would get into extreme metal over a more contemporary scene.

Some of the music is GREAT however the lyrics and singing do not seem artistic to me but more like fake and like "we have to do it this way". I like rock because it tends to be genuine artistic expression of the writer.

Death metal cannot be an expression of anything. You can't understand the lyrics, it's all waaaahhh brrrd ah waaaah and that is not real.
If you want to ask me a question:

Death metal is a genre that is filled with groups going over 20+ years strong
