Where and when did the genre DEATH METAL originate?
97504
<Death metal is a type of heavy metal music with thrash metal influences which emerged in the United States (especially Florida and California), Europe (especially the United Kingdom and Sweden) and Canada in the late 1980s and early 1990s. \n\nDeath metal has, like most subgenres of heavy metal, proven notoriously difficult to define. Some fans and musicians have a firm concept of the genre, its categories and subcategories. Others consider such categorisation limiting or useless. There is often crossover from one metal genre to another, and the influence of non-metal genres is not uncommon. \n\nDeath metal is usually identified by extreme brutality, intensity and speed. "Blast beats" are frequently used to add to the intensity of the music. The vocals - death grunts, (guttural roars) or "growls", as they are often called, are rough and often incomprehensible (sometimes derisively called "Cookie Monster vocals" by those who dislike this vocal style). Similarly, those not familiar with the genre sometimes confuse it with "death rock", which is an entirely different musical classification altogether. \n\n\n Death metal's subject matter usually deals with the darker side of society that most other musical styles avoid writing about although some bands such as Dying Fetus write mostly political lyrics. The focus on mortality along with the extreme nature of the music likely inspired the naming of this genre as "death" metal. Other bands still take their lyrical inspiration from horror movies, e.g., early Death, Cannibal Corpse, Mortician.Death metal is known for very abrupt tempo and count/time signature changes, and extremely fast and complex guitar and double bass drumwork. Most bands of this genre use downtuned and distorted guitars (usually utilising two), which play both rhythm and lead guitar parts, a downtuned, sometimes distorted bass guitar, a double bass drum set, and a vocalist who uses the death grunt vocal style. Some bands add incidental synthesizers or other instruments for effects. Of all the Metal genres Death metal is the most physically demanding of its musicians.

C'mon, man... Slipknot, Disturbed, Korn and Drowning Pool are not metal. My favorite subgenre of metal is traditional/heavy and my favorite band from that is Judas Priest. The other genres:\n\nPower: Kamelot\nTharsh: Kreator\nDeath: Nile\nBlack: Emperor\nProgressive: Pagan's Mind\nFolk: Skyforger\nViking: Bathory

If you really want to know, go to Wikipedia. Also, goth came from punk. They do, thus, have many shared musical and aesthetic tendencies.

not enough gospel polkas, with a death-metal feel.

1)Phil Anselmo joins the band in 1988. Helps the band transition from glam to thrash\n\n2) they were the first heavy metal band to have an album (far beyond driven,1994) debut at number one on the billboard charts\n\n3) Dimebag Darrell was murdered in 2004. even though the band had broken up at this point, there was still a chance of the band getting together. When Dimebag was murder, that pretty much ended the band forever.

I go to Death Guild in SF once in a while.  They have some great DJs that play a mix of old & new favorites and cool stuff I've never heard of.  The crowd there is rather hit or miss, some of them look really out of place and uncompfortable, but others are regulars.  It can be a lot of fun.

i willtry to take a stab at this but don't hate me if i get it wrong. but the earliest know music to be composed was in the mediteranian. Around 27b.c. in greece i believe. they were able to compose musi in modes(like keys) There was the doric mode, phyrgian mode and another one i cannot remember right now. But this is western music. i bet there were earlier civilization that had different methods of making music.

There aren't many left in the heavy metal and death metal camps.  The music seems to have changed once again.  There was heavy metal; then came death metal and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal; then the hair bands came and went (pretty much).  I've listened to it all from Sabbath, Zeppelin and Priest; to Leppard; Saxon; and punk - Black Flag; which gave us the Misfits and Danzig which gave us Metallica and Megadeth.\n\nToday, it seems to be a mixture of heavy and death metal; but sort of with a twist of the love song; take Aetryu for example.  You got your singer and your screamer and then you got Cradle Of Filth and where to put them; the closest to heavy metal these days are possibly Godsmack and Disturbed.  Also there is Avenged Sevenfold whose guitars sound a lot like Iron Maiden; but then again they were sort of punk at first.\n\nWhere does one draw the line between hard rock and metal - where would Rise Against and Bad Acid Trip fit in?  Especially compared to Cradle and Aetyru.  And what about System Of A Down?
