Death Metal

Death Metal is an intense and aggressive subgenre of heavy metal that emerged in the mid-1980s, characterized by its heavily distorted guitars, rapid drumming, and deep, guttural vocals. It often explores themes of mortality, violence, and existential dread, delivered with technical precision and complex song structures. Notable bands like Death, Cannibal Corpse, and Morbid Angel have shaped its dark, ferocious sound, pushing the boundaries of musical extremity and lyrical content.
