The Journey of Death Metal
Death metal come from pieces and elements of thrash metal. The growth of this genre started to inspire people in the mid 1980s. Death metal was started by three bands, Slayer, Celtic Frost and Kreator. There has been one man that has been concidered to be "the father of death metal" and that mans name is Celtic Frost. The late 80s and 90s were a rising point for Morbid Angel and Possessed.
The style of this music usually has a couple of guitarists, a bass guitarists and a double bass drummer. The vocalist will use variations of harmony singing and deep grow screaming. This genre has been know to have complex music. They have a very fast tempo of music, with insane guitar riffs and bass beats. The singer will put growls, snarls and grunts in their music to match the distortion. This different style of music has always been portrayed to noise, which is completely an expression to them.
Death Metal and Luciferianism
Death metal has always been tied with dark meaning or with the devil. This has been true in some black metal bands, because people will take their distortion singing and musical style and tag it to the devil. Their songs and albums have just as much meaning as any other genre of music. Songs about love, hate, happiness or sadness have all been written by various artists.
