Death Metal Music

Death metal generally includes violent or dark lyrics which focus on death as a nihilistic metaphor, chromatic chord progressions and a varied song structure without a standard verse-chorus arrangement; compositions instead emphasize an ongoing development of themes and motifs. The genre is often identified with downtuned rhythm guitars, fast percussion, and dynamic intensity. Blast beats, exceedingly fast drum patterns, are frequently used to add to the ferocity of the genre. The vocals are often grunts, snarls, and low gurgles colloquially called death grunts or death growls. Death grunts require use of the throat and guts, unlike traditional singing techniques which discourage this technique.
