never understood the love of death metal. i can understand that at some level the musicians can have a real degree of talent, generally only the drummer though, but as a main line, its just undesypherable screaming and guitars that are incredibly fast but also amazingly sloppy.
and like C-Dic said, its no longer about making good music, its about who can be the most shocking, and i think that even Cannibal Corpse have fallen into the pit of trying way to hard to be shocking.

They're not death metal at all really. Granted they have lots of death metal elements, but they definitely don't follow any of the death metal cliches, apart from the fact that they are Scandinavian and have extraodinarily long hair. They're way too romantic, sensitive and poetic to be death metal.
Cryptopsy and Asphyx, now that's death metal 😎

easily, like this: "the singing and guitar work is sloppy." there's a big difference between having highly technical guitar sounds and good vocals and bashing your guitar and sliding up and down the neck and screaming indecipherable lyrics

For real. The thread starter classifies their music as "ridiculous" when he probably hasnt even heard their music, and if he has, well he's still judging their cover. Thats almost the exact same as the motto "Never Judge A Book By Its Cover", and by the way he talks Id say he's one of those people who only go for the Good looking people and wont even bother talking to the people that arent all that nice looking.
Like I said, An album cover has nothing to do with the talent that's inside.

I mean, bands have to upstage one another somehow to sell records, granted, but there are just some absolutely ****ing STUPID bands out there. Check out these premo album covers.So, instead of making their lyrics half way understandable, losing the Cookie Monster voice effects, or anything else that would lead people on to think they are actual musicians, these "artists" make their mark with these hilarious covers?
How can anyone take these bands seriously...?
To be fair Morbid, there isn't anything there insulting the bands as such, he's commenting on how absolutely stupid the covers are. Lots of 'death metal' is just screaming and ridiculously fast guitar riffs. I prefer a bit of melody, like I think most people would.

Let me ask you something... Have YOU ever seriously listened to death metal? Quite a lot of it is complete crap. And I believe C-dic did say later on that he doesn't like the music, either. Though I wouldn't even class some of it as music.
