Any of you geeks into death metal?

If so, can you please explain what the growling is about?

I saw a death metal band perform tonight, and whilst I love music in all it's forms... I just don't get death metal.

I'd love it if someone from the scene could explain

I suspect there are many fans on this site

If you play the tracks backwards, the growling says "all Aussies are tossers"

You just don't "get" a whole lot of things, do you?

I think if you have to ask you're probably to old to understand.

More into grindcore, not specifically for the growling though. *shrug*

It's quite practical though. The kids have grown too fond of "normal" metal, so it's gotta be death metal or grindcore to keep them from bugging me.

Its tulip isn't it. We take our son to a festival each year because he loves rock music. Usually its download, but we took him to Sonisphere once. It was the year with the big 4 playing - Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeath and Metallica. Out of the whole weekend the only band I actaully wanted to see was Metallica. For the rest of the weekend we had to put up with grown blokes growling at us helped down a microphone connected to a fecking great wall of speakers.

Looks like download will be similar this year!

I'm happy with the basest of heavy metal guitars, but the moment they move from singing to screaming I just lose interest which is a shame because other than that I love the sound of bands like Gallows, SoaD, SlipKnot, etc.

Yep, but were there lots of young ladies rolling around in the mud?

I agree. I really like that doom and gloom sound that thrash bands create in terms of their instruments. Its just when the guy opens his mouth. I'd really like to see an audition for one of these bands. What do you have to do to get turned away? I find the same with Iron maiden as there is something in BD's voice that I cant stand. But I really like the sound the rest of the band makes.

Steel Panther are the best for that. Last year at Download they kept playing footage from the Steel Panther set - Lots of young ladies with their paps out!
