After listening to the At The Gates “Slaughter of the Soul” album a lot over the weekend, I’m thinking of getting into more death metal. The genre isn’t really all that scary to listen as some of that stuff can actually be enjoyable! The thing with death metal is that some of these bands can make awesome metal riffs and pretty impressive rhythm playing with their guitars! I just never cared for the growling and screaming but after listening to At The Gates, it made me get used to the growling and screaming. That’s the whole point of death metal. You just gotta get used to it.
A lot of people can’t see that I listen to metal and heavy music ’cause I don’t have the look and the image. I’m not covered in tattoos, I don’t wear ripped up blue jeans or wear junky t-shirts or wear eye-liner. That’s never been my style, lol. I just loved to listen to the music ’cause I dig the songwriting and guitar playing but I’m thinking of getting into death metal more.
What are some other good death metal bands? I already know about bands like Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Death, Obituary, Napalm Death, The Black Dahlia Murder and I’m sure there are many others. Listening to this kind of music helps make me feel good and gets things out of my system.
Metal is one of my favorite genres and I mostly listen to regular metal like Metallica, Megadeth, Sabbath, Pantera, Maiden, Priest, Type O’ Negative, Slayer, etc. but I should get into the darker stuff like death and black metal too. If I want to be a true metal lover, I got into that stuff and will soon.
I’ve always loved metal and heavy music. It’s the music I grew up on. It’s what helped me get into playing guitar, of course. I’ve experimented with playing some metal guitar myself but I should keep at it. If I were to play guitar in a metal band someday, I would just play guitar and not sing ’cause I don’t think I have the voice for it.
