Top 10 Reasons Why Death Metal is Awful

The Top Ten
1 It's nothing but growling and screaming

Give melodeath or progressive death metal a shot. There's a lot more to those than screaming. But even normal death metal is much more than that.

Well some have a few lines of melodic singing but a lot of times it sounds like a bear vomiting.

This list is nothing but blind evaluations and hypocritical opinions.

There's some singing when you get into melodic and symphonic.

2 The lyrics are gross

Brutal death metal, yes. Technical and symphonic? Philosophical.

Not all songs are like this

Not all are but yeah.

3 It's the reason people think heavy metal is Satanic

Um Black Metal is the reason why people think Metal is satanic which is false

Actually Black Metal is the reason why people think metal is satanic.

That would be black metal, but a few death metal bands are Satanic too.

Actually Deicide sing about satanic stuff

4 The album covers are gross

Its called Death Metal what did you expect flowers and Trees?

5 Unintelligible vocals

I know right.It's like Mumble Rap except it's way too loud while mumble rap is too quiet.

6 It's annoying

Would you call Voice of the Soul by Death annoying it's a instrumental and is defiantly not annoying in fact it's a beautiful song that Death Metal haters should listen to

7 The songs mostly sound the same

I know why some people think it may sound the same. Its because of the riffs. Many death metal riffs just change the frets when playing. While playing a string with different frets won't make same sound. But a we usually notice the difference when different pitched music is playing. Different strings playing at the same time will make more unique sound.

Not a big fan of death metal. And I won't say its awful or it all sound same. But there's a reason why I like progressive metal more than death metal. I don't think I have to say anything about it.

As a death metal fan, I can confirm this. However, there are lots of other bands out there with a very diverse sound. Perhaps Opeth, Wintersun or Insomnium will change your mind.

Eh..that's debatable. I mean, do you really think that a song by Death sounds the same as a song by Cannibal Corpse?

8 It gives heavy metal a bad name

A big reason, because when a none metal person looks up metal bands it's usually clogged with garbage like Cannibal Corpse and such.

Not with every death metal band.

9 The band names are ridiculous

Um it's the music that matters not the name of the band

There's a band called Party Cannon. Not joking.

10 The song titles are ridiculous
The Contenders
11 You can’t sing along to the melody or the lyrics
12 It's overrated

Death metal may be overrated. But I personally think thrash metal is more overrated.
