Death Metal is the most brutal form of music in existence. A typical
death metal Band is generally identifiable by their use of heavy
distortion, excessive downtuning, pummeling double bass drum and
trademark growl vocals (or grunts).Lyrics wise we can say that , Death metal lyrics usually deal with the darker side of society that most other musical styles avoid writing about, sometimes inspired by horror movies (Death, Cannibal Corpse, Mortician), more rarely politics (Dying Fetus).
It is influce by Thrash Metal with heavy growling vocals and repeated
and complex riffs with brutal drumming. It was possessed who put the
Growling vocals in a thrash metal invironment and crated a new kind of
music. Along with Possessed , Slayer was another metal band which
influenced this genre heavily ...Slayers early albums 'Show No Mercy' n 'Hell Awaits' was kinda death-thrash. In the year 1985 Possessed release there first deubt album 'Seven Churches'. This album is the one of the most creative and interesting death metal album is still one of the Best old school death metal album till date.
Sepultura was another band in 80's who influenced Death Metal genre

Cavelera was in his best form .. the album like 'Schizophrenia' and 'Morbid visions' was a milestone for death metal.Cant forget Morbid Angel , a band from USA , first doubt album 'Altars Of Madness' was one hell of the great album !! There were lots of other bands too which cant be neglected , Entombed Sweden Death Metal band ... Entombed was at the forefront of the first wave of Swedish death metal in the early nineties, with their first two releases (Left Hand Path and Clandestine) widely regarded as landmarks in the field.
