Death metal

Death metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music. It typically employs heavily distorted and low-tuned guitars, played with techniques such as palm muting and tremolo picking, deep growling vocals and screams, aggressive, powerful drumming featuring double kick or blast beat techniques, minor keys or atonality, abrupt tempo, key, and time signature changes and chromatic chord progressions. The lyrical themes of death metal may invoke slasher film-stylized violence,religion (sometimes Satanism), occultism, Lovecraftian horror, nature, mysticism, mythology, philosophy, science fiction, and politics, and they may describe extreme acts, including mutilation, dissection, torture, rape, cannibalism, and necrophilia.

Building from the musical structure of thrash metal and early black metal, death metal emerged during the mid-1980s. Bands such as Venom, Celtic Frost, Slayer, and Kreator were important influences on the genre's creation.Possessed and Death, along with bands such as Obituary,Autopsy and Morbid Angel, are often considered pioneers of the genre. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, death metal gained more media attention as popular genre niche record labels like Combat, Earache, and Roadrunner, began to sign death metal bands at a rapid rate.

    [Originally by Possessed]
    [Music - MT Lyrics - JB]
    Arise from the dead
    Attack from the grave
    The killing won't stop 'til first light
    We'll bring you to hell
    Because we want to enslave
    Your soul will be frozen with fright
    We'll break through the crust
    Leave from our crypts
    Protected by eternal life
    Lay down the laws
    From our satanic scripts
    Bringing you nothing but strife
    Death Metal
    Death Metal
    Ruling your cities
    Controlling your towns
    Entrapped in your worst nightmare
    Piercing your ears
    With a horrible sound
    Casting my elusive stare
    Lucifer laughs
    His needs are fulfilled
    The flames are now burning hot
    Bodies are burning
    The people are killed
    Torture the reason we fought
    Death Metal
    Death Metal
    Kill them pigs
    [Solo: Mike]
    Now we take over
    And rule by Death Metal
    Enjoy our long-waited reign
    Blood's what we want
    And we won't settle
    Until we drive you insane
    Attacking the young,
    Killing the old
    Bleeding with every heartbeat
    Darkness has fallen
    And your soul is sold
    Claws will dig into your meat
    When the sun doesn't rise
    And the day is like night
    Know that your life is at its end
    Rendered helpless
    So scream out in fright
    Death Metal came in the wind
    Death Metal
    Death Metal
