i LOVE being able to be more educated on the topic of metal because my boyfriend loves all kinds of metal and i know nothing about it but im tryna be supportive!
@@luisr0987 the last rites' second riff is very death metal-like, sounds somewhat like something cryptopsy would come up with, except higher tuning ofcourse
also, Venom had a song called Black Metal, but maybe even less-known, Pantera has a song called Power Metal (though they like to pretend this era doesn't exist, hehe)
Death metal actually started aug 3 1979 when the grim reaper was on a ski trip and got a ski pole lodged in his skull. While screaming and thrashing around in the snow. Alan Gold was on the lift watching and started a band right away.
Why the hell is everyone forgetting about Sepultura. They have released probably one of the first death metal EPs / albums ever (choose between Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions). And even if SOMEHOW you don't consider them being death metal they'd still have a huge influence on creating the genre and later popularizing it. What the fuck man 😠
Yup. They were just as much deathmetal as anyone at that time. Their song anti-Christ even had the first blast beats in a metal song. I’m not sure why they always get overlooked. I guess because they kinda went the more polished thrash route after those first two albums🤷♂️
@@RamManNo1 Never really listened to Sepultura and this was the coolest nodule of history I've come across in forever. A progenitor blast beat riff section, SO cool to discover. Kudos, thank you!
This was super interesting, I have listened to Death Metal for years and never even thought of where the name came from. Would love to learn more about this stuff.
Goniloc has a lot of videos on the subject of metal sub-genres and their histories. Informative and funny, the best combo. Worth checking out, for sure.
I'm 52. This was my youth. It started with my uncle being into the punk scene and introducing me to it in the mid/late 70s. When the 80s rolled around the Speed/Thrash stuff started coming out and I absolutely loved it. That and all of the Punk/Thrash/Crossover bands (D.R.I, Suicidal Tendencies). I loved it but I wanted something more brutal. My first Thrash/Death metal band was Sepultura. Not too long after that evolved into Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Deicide and Morbid Angel (Covenant is one of my favorite albums!).
I love modern death metal more than the past death metal just because of my age, you know like the early 2000s death metal is Is My jam, stuff like "as blood runs black' which is kore melodic death metal
I mean possesed created the term but death (band) was the first actual death metal band, although chuck schuldinger (vocalist, lead guitarist and band creator) denied that it was part of the death metal genre (although it checks everything.)
@@jamesrickel3814 a lot of super early punk rock wasn't all that different from hard rock bands of the time. But, yeah, it definitely doesn't sound like anything we'd classify as punk now. They were one of the earliest punk rock bands, more specifically they are classified as "proto-punk."
Small correction: Black metal did not come before Death metal, and instead was a counter-approach to satanic imagery that many found to be too sterile in sound and shock value with Death metal. However, the satanic imagery that we associate with Black metal now came way before even Death metal, with prominent bands at the time like Iron Maiden and Kiss flaunting depictions of the devil on their albums.
Yeah yeah, and Coven and the Stones were speaking about Satan back in the 60's. Totally sterile topic. Some people were summoning Demons back in Summer 5000 years ago. Nothing to do with trying to define a musical genre. Of course in life everything is related to something prior, you can come back a long time ago.
That's only if you believe the Norwegian perspective of the genre. Many claim Venom was the first black metal band, while others say it was Bathory, who were releasing music as early as 1983. The first wave of black metal was an international movement borne out of underground tape trading, and the early demos and albums from bands like Sepultura, Vulcano, Sarcofago, Sodom, Holocausto as well as bands such as Master's Hammer and Tormentor were creating early forms of black metal in the mid to late 80s, alongside the rise of death metal. The only difference is that black metal's popularity increased in the 90s, but for most of the 80s, many bands with raw production, harsh vocals and primitive riffs that had a satanic theme were labelled as black metal.
You need a history lesson in metal. Black metal came before death metal. Any metal band with satanic lyrics was considered black metal in the early mid 80s. In fact, magazines called Slayer, Venom and Merciful Fate the unholy trinity of black metal around that time.
@@petesantos5124 Yeah, the same people who call Venom thrash are the same people who say Metallica started thrash. Yet Venom released their first album 3 years before Metallica. They can't have it both ways. I'm with the school of thought that for Black Metal to be be Black Metal it needs to be Satanic, of the Occult, or at least singing about Dark forces. If not then it's not "Black" in definition. But modrn BMfans think that if you put on corpse paint, tremolo pick, and use blast beats then you're BM by default regardless what you sing about.
Another band that I think should be mentioned with early death metal bands is Mr. Bungle. Their first demo is full of death metal even though they would become a very different band.
Funny fact: Death's drummer later on joined the Howard Stern Show & does prank phone calls for them. The Richard&Sal prank call segments are hilarious😂
Suffocation - Pierced from Within Dying Fetus - Destroy The Opposition Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding Atheist - Unquestionable Presence Gorguts - Obscura !T.O.O.H! - Order and Punishment Deicide - Legion A few of my favorites
When you talk about black metal being born before Death Metal, you meant the first wave with Venom, Sepultura and Sodom ? Because black metal as we know it is probably on of the earliest massive metal genre By the way, thrash's evil twin sounds like a great way to describe death metal band especially the pioneer in the genre hahaha
It’s crazy to me how diverse metal is just within the death metal subgenre. I adore melodic death metal and the “thrash but heavier” bands but I cannot stand the brutal death metal/grindcore sound
Death used to be named mantas and in 1984 they released the demo death by metal and seven churches by possessed was released in 1985 and death/mantas perfected the sound even more than possessed in 1984 and possessed sounds a little more thrash than death metal so therefore death invented death metal
I would still say possessed was still more thrash on the guitars but death I still believe they set the standard for death metal and perfected it but while possessed it more thrash in my opinion they have a hint of obituary but I still say death was the first death metal band but possessed made the term death metal but venom made the name black metal but they aren’t really black metal
Im gonna be honest I cant tell the diffrence between metal and rock Especially modern rock I saw someone say once that said no new rock bands will live up to the greats in the eyes of society in the same way jazz is treated and i think thats why i cant tell the diffrence Cos metal is alive and well
I didn't know that about death metal. I actually don't know much about the (sub)genre, I don't like it though (I tried listening to some songs but I just can't...), I prefer modern metalcore/post hardcore (I love the mix of cleans and harsh vocals, or just clean singing with heavy riffs and drums) and even some deathcore. But thanks for educating us! It's interesting! 💙 🌌
Same, same. I do however like Capra. Maybe it's because I'm not a full time dedicated metalhead. I do love a lot of all types of genres of music ranging from pop to Spanish and classic rock to country. So it's hard to go from Britney Spears to growling. I've been checking out a lot more lately though. My favorites are Rage Against the Machine, Avenged Sevenfold, and The Rolling Stones. AX7 is the only one who comes slightly close.
@@michellesnightmare Oooh! My music taste is chaotic too - I love Taylor Swift, 5SOS, Harry Styles, Sebastián Yatra, Aitana; but also STARSET, Bad Omens, Ice Nine Kills, Hollywood Undead, Sleep Token, I See Stars; and I think I've heard one Avenged Sevenfold song. I've heard them being mentioned a lot. Maybe I can check them out for real.
@@michellesnightmare Oh yes! I love his ballads and pop rock stuff. But of course he has reggaetón songs too because they're popular. He's Colombian. I used to love Enrique Iglesias too but not anymore because his music reminds me of someone in my past, since he was our favorite artist ahaha. From Sebastián Yatra you can check out Devuélveme El Corazón, Cómo Mirarte, Para Olvidar, his 2 or something songs with Aitana, and others. His "Fantasía" album is awesome. I love Cristina, title track, etc. I haven't really listened to him in a while because right now I'm obsessed with 5SOS and before that, I was obsessed with Bad Omens hehe. And for some reason I got a notification for your previous comment just today so that's why I replied 3 weeks late hahah. Do you have any recommendations for me?
And Morbid Angel are coool dudes Whose albums ‘ ‘ Blessed are the Sick 1991’ ‘ Covenant 1993 ‘ ‘ Where the Slime Lives’ Probably gave stamp for the new genre ‘ Religios Metal’
The reason why Morbid Angel are much heavier than the other Florida bands of the time is because they're essentially a black metal band that plays deathgrind. You can apply the mindset to making any kind of music.

Fun Fact, Lots of death Metal tracks have words related to death
Black Sabbath War Pigs. The OG death metal song.

Using a potato masher as a mic is also pretty metal IMO.

Yes my favorite Death Metal Bands include, “Vehicular Manslaughter,” “Aggravated Assault and Battery,” and, “Flesh Eating Funguses.”
Yeah those probably exist
Can't forget about "copyright infringement" 🤘
You forgot The Evil Toe Stubbers, Brainrot and Pick Me Girls
Can't forget "Infant Annhilator
My favorite death metal band is suicide silence
Possessed lit the torch and Death carried it through a marathon
Seven churches
Exactly 👍
That mic is metal.....for real, so if Dave mustaine started death metal band would it be mega death metal???
Megadethmetal*
Mega Death!
NGL, I've heard in some songs how Dave almost goes death metal with his grunts.

Now we need a periodic table of heavy metal.
And I want to see a band called Actinide Series. 🤘😁
As a science nerd, that's hilarious 😂😂 and needs to happen.
What's heavier than heavy? The music in the background.
If you can't read a name of a band because of some fucked up font it's a death metal band
This fact is also true for alot of death step EDM artists...
I still want a noxtromo tshirt
And if you can’t even tell if it’s even supposed to be a band’s name, its a black metal band
So Falling in Reverse and Ice Nine Kills are death metal bands now, noted.
@@zacharyengle4256 The fonts are clearer than a cloudless sky

He and his twin brother have a band Opal In Sky (comes from their Polish last name Opalinsky), you should listen to their songs :)
also, Venom had a song called Black Metal, but maybe even less-known, Pantera has a song called Power Metal (though they like to pretend this era doesn't exist, hehe)
This is the single best, quick explanation of the genre I've seen.
Death metal sounds like a ptibull barking with a machine gun in the background (I love it)
That *"DEATH"* actually jumpscared me
"just wasn't heavy enough for some people"
And I took that personally. Well... in a joking manner.
Death metal actually started aug 3 1979 when the grim reaper was on a ski trip and got a ski pole lodged in his skull. While screaming and thrashing around in the snow. Alan Gold was on the lift watching and started a band right away.

There is a video "a band called death" that is about a different all black band called Death. Maybe fun to check out.
