| Like I tried listening because this is suppose to be some really extreme stuff and actually Lly I find it really dull and silly. Like I know this kind of music is meant to O be over the he top but you need to make it intimidating by adding a real sense of aggression and malice into the music. It just comes off as ugly but it doesn't feel that violent to me. |
 |
| Sounds like a damn monster movie lol |
| Sometimes I find thrash metal that's more extreme or darker than brutal death metal. |
| My thoughts exactly. It feels like it's actively trying really hard to be over the top and dark to the point where it just becomes bland, uninteresting noise. |
| i do sometimes. i prefer these but my favorite is melodic death metal, which is what i mostly listen to |
| Scream! |
| Sound boring and30characters |

 la critique de l'intention pure |
| The last time I tried to listen to Cannibal Corpse, I decided to do a bit of an experiment. I picked an album (I don't remember which. I think it was Tomb of the Mutilated, but I don't think it really matters.), put on some headphones, shut off everything else, hit play and closed my eyes. I was trying to give it a legitimate shot and see if the reason I never could get into them was because I never listed deeply enough. I literally couldn't tell one song from the next. I turn it off about four, five songs in because not only did the songs all blur together incomprehensibly, I could barely tell when one song ended and the next began. It almost felt like I was listening to one ridiculously long cacophony. Give me some Amon Amarth or Scar Symmetry instead. I find more melodic styles of death metal to be more interesting. |
| the only slam band i listen to. |

Besides the fact that Cannibal Corpse is neither brutal death metal or slam they aren't even a good death metal band period. I can't even really say they're overrated because most metal heads know they aren't a very good band in the first place. Just one that somehow got more mainstream recognition than others. |

This is true. My point was more to express where my upper limit of heaviness sits (again, somewhere around Amon Amarth), while hopefully telling an amusing story of one of the ways I've found that upper limit. |

Oh lol well I would say there's plenty of bands heavier and more brutal than Cannibal Corpse who have a more diverse selection of songs though. Some of it does get too same but Carcass`s Symphonies of Sickness for example is far nastier and have than Cannibal Corpse yet the songs are more memorable and it's catchy with plenty of hooks. Not saying that it would be your thing or even recommending it but just putting it out there for anyone interested in a good extreme metal album that doesn't suffer the same issue and actually has memorable songs. |

| I feel like a lot of these bands sound this way for the sake of "being brutal" rather than for the sake of making music and having a style. Anyway, there are more disturbing bands out there that are legitimately disturbing rather than trying to be forced brutal, especially in the black metal scene. Can't remember the band's name(I don't listen to black metal because I find the vocals weak) but there was one that used their band member's actual death scene photo where he shot himself (with a shotgun in the head iirc) as album cover. THATS fucking brutal, not this forced "style". |

In terms of these types of actions I'd say the harsh noise and industrial scene is far worse than the metal scene like with Missing foundation where they set themselves on fire and incited major riots, or with Hanatarash where Eye ran the stage over with a bulldozer and threw junk around with the back hoe. Apparently Hanatarash had to break up because they were banned from playing anywhere in Japan. |

I remember hearing an incident about a black metal vocalist(can't remember who again) who cut off his hands during a recording and sewn pig's feet onto his amputated limbs, not sure how true that is. These people are fucking insane. Cloud3514 said: This is true.

I'm right with ya there, With Oden On Our Side is one of my favorite albums of all time. |

clandestine said: One of the few things I know about metal is that there are way too many subgenres, but that sounds like the subgenre of a subgenre of a subgenre of metal, it's oddly specific lol Yeah the subgenres have gotten way too ridiculous. |
|
clandestine said: One of my highschool teachers was a metalhead, and even she said that there were wayy too many of them to keep up with. Meanwhile we actually do have bands out there who are put into the same genre when they actually do need different sub genres to separate them. |
|
| if you want to keep to the feel of metal watch Metalocalypse... Death Klok are a few artists all varied as hell a good watch and a epic listen... google it |
| I used to love it when I was younger because it was cool to like it, I guess. Now I kinda find it silly. |
  |
| Slam is great, I highly recommend Vulvodynia 8) it's so over the top that it isn't music that one would take seriously, imo. Just fun to listen to since it's so chaotic. |
"So wave goodbye to the hope we were born with, and say farewell to the chance of surviving this holocaust of love, this age of lost souls, but I'm holding on with both hands and I'm never letting go." |
| I like some death metal like, Death, Mayhem (only really the first album), Autopsy, Entombed. |

Punk usually does a way better job of conveying aggression. |

| Death metal is great. Br00t4l death metal however is junk food and it's bad for you. |
| My sister have listen to Justin Bieber, some K-pop songs and some more gruesome than that... |
| I like brutal death metal. Bands like Suffocation, Dying Fetus and Cryptopsy are really good in my opinion. When it comes to slam death metal I rarely listen to it. In my opinion it's one of the most repetitive and boring subgenre of metal there is. |
 |
| I do listen to it from time to time. Mostly when I'm in a good mood and/or drunk. |
 |
| Yes, I am quite familiar with Origin and Brain Drill. |
 |
| I listen to Cannibal Corpse's first albums (pre Corpsegrinder era) sometimes, but I'm not really into death metal in general (except for Death, they were awesome). |
| Yeah I was a big Slam head before, I've branched too much into music to really focus on it like I did before but yeah here's some of my faves Ah slam, I just really love it for how crushing it is, and the vocals are a treat for me, an acquired taste and ear to enjoy it but seeing as I've gotten into much more avant-garde noisy stuff now this still hits the spot. |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| this shit's cool when you're 16. not so much anymore when you grow up. some of the most boring uninspired crap in the scene, same with gore and pornogrind. Lord Gore is the only band that stuck with me from that period. but i wont call them brutal death metal. musically much better than what they usually get grouped up with. like they had Rectal Smegma open for them when they came to the Netherlands, a local band for me, but a god damn embarrassment. pretty funny is that they're actually really easy to understand. but honestly its better to just stick with bands like Bolt Thrower when it comes to DM. |
