Worst Death Metal Bands
Cannibal Corpse is a American death metal band from Buffalo, New York, formed in 1988. The band is known for their graphic album covers, explicitly violent lyrics and song titles like "I C** Blood" The group got into mainstream after performing the song "Hammer Smashed Face" in the 1994 film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. In 1995, vocalist Chris Barnes left the band to focus on his new death metal project... read more Hugely overrated band. There are so many more death metal bands that I've heard that are a lot better than Cannibal Corpse. Morbid Angel, Obituary, Bloodbath, Dismember and Entombed just to name a few. At least with these bands when I read the lyrics I can get what they're saying. This stops people getting into death metal by making people think that all death metal is just inaudible burping.
They bring shame to death metal.
Death and other bands that try to be like death are true death metal.
But for some reason metal elitists defened this crap they're lyrics are inaudible I can't unerstand what their saying most of the time and their live concerts are much more just random growling.
I'm pretty even their singer just makes random noises live and not sing the lyrics
I dislike the lyrical content, but you have to admit - these guys know their stuff. Alex Webster is amazing on bass. He's one of the only reasons I sometimes check out their music. Corpsegrinder isn't a bad vocalist; he's better than most. The rest of the band is fine as well and they can make some good instrumentals, but the lyrics just make it over the top.
This is a point where death metal stops being the awesome genre it is, and just becomes an empty shell of its former self. Abominable Putridity are like a bad joke without a punchline, But you could say that about any Slam Death Metal band. Also, why is Cannibal Corpse at #1?
Abominable Putridity**
These guys are awesome. I understand some people can't get past the vocals, but listen to the the grooves and slams. These guys are the best at their genre. I love em!

Six Feet Under is an American death metal band from Tampa, Florida, formed in 1993. The band consist of four members: founding vocalist Chris Barnes, longtime guitarist Steve Swanson, current bassist Jeff Hughell and recent drummer Marco Pitruzzella. This is the actual worst Death Metal band. Cannibal Corpse, Dethklok, and Dark Tranquility are awesome bands.
Chris Barnes is one of the worst vocalists in his genre
Such a shame that this is what Chris Barnes has become.
After listening to this, it's a good thing CC replaced Barnes when they did
What kind of joke is this?
Dark Tranquillity*
I Set My Friends on Fire is a post-hardcore group from Miami, Florida. The band was formed in 2007 by Matt Mehana and former member Nabil Moo. They aren't even death metal. But they do suck
Cattle Decapitation is an American Deathgrind band from San Diego, California formed in 1996. Cattle Decapitation's songs protest the mistreatment and consumption of animals, the abuse of the environment and touch subjects such as misanthropy and genocide of the human race. Much of their music is based on putting humans in the situations that animals are subjected to, for example animal testing, slaughter, etc. While the band started with an entirely vegetarian lineup, only two current members are vegetarian namely Travis Ryan and Josh Elmore. Travis Ryan is so versatile with his vocals. They have the best lyrics of any dm band I've heard. They have chaotic blast beat drums yet great technicality. They're awesome! n
Who the hell put them here.
Job for a Cowboy is an American death metal band from Glendale, Arizona. Formed in 2003, the band's debut album Genesis was released in 2007, peaking at No. Deathcore, but they're still ass.
Suicide Silence is an American deathcore band from Riverside, California. Formed in 2002, the band has released four full-length studio albums, one EP and eleven music videos.
Death was an American death metal band formed in 1983 by Chuck Schuldiner. Death is considered to be one of the most influential bands in heavy metal and a pioneering force in death metal. Its debut album, Scream Bloody Gore, has been widely regarded as the first death metal record, while the band's driving force, Chuck Schuldiner, is acknowledged as the "Godfather of Death Metal." Death released... read more This band is insanely mediocre and overly worshipped only because of the dead. The vocalist sounds like a strangled frog especially on their sleep inducing prog metal albums like Symbolic, Human blah blah. This is pop metal fans favorite (so called) death metal band. These fans claim to like death metal but have only listened to a couple of songs from two actual death metal bands (Cannibal Corpse and Deicide) and then relentlessly whine about how death metal is so heavy, aggressive and fast or why the vocals are not clean. Ignorant people death metal has always been a rebellious and extreme sub genre and the main objective is to produce inaccesible songs. Keep listening to progressive pop metal albums like Symbolic, ITP, Human or other overrated prog garbage of theirs.
All death metal bands suck. Even Death is way worse than ALL death metal bands. Pop music and trap music for the win! Even if death metal had screaming and way too inappriopiate songs, people are idiots for liking death metal.
Necrophagist is a German technical death metal band, founded and fronted by guitarist and vocalist Muhammed Suiçmez. Sorry. But these guys are just tech for the sake of being tech. They've never written a song.
Annoying band. Death rules
Behemoth is a Polish blackened death metal band from Gdańsk, formed in 1991. They are considered to have played an important role in establishing the Polish extreme metal underground. Guys what Behemoth influenced a new sound to death metal and that not my opinion, it's a fact.
What? Behemoth is one of the most powerful and catchy Death Metal bands.
The hell? Why are they on here? Behemoth is a good black/ death metal band. I guess some people don’t like how blasphemous they are.
Anal C*** was an American grindcore band founded by vocalist Seth Putnam in 1988 in Newton, Massachusetts. The band is known for their highly offensive lyrics which included themes of misogyny, homophobia, racism, Nazism, antisemitism, and schadenfreude (ridicule of the unfortunate). Their music has been received negatively by critics, which the band stated that their music was intentionally bad, just to get negative reviews. Anal C*** ended when Seth Putnam died from a heart attack in 2011. Technically not Death Metal. But yeah, their music is unbearable and their song titles are funny
Deicide is an American death metal band formed in 1987 by bassist and vocalist Glen Benton and drummer Steve Asheim. They are known for their blasphemous and satanic lyrics which have resulted in bans, lawsuits and criticisms from religious groups and the public. Frontman Glen Benton is also known for being a theistic satanist, even going as far as to repeatedly branding an inverted cross into his forehead on at least 12 different occasions. Their early stuff was top notch but in my opinion they aren't that great anymore. Kind of the same story as Metallica.
Deicide is the band that got me into death metal. They do not belong here
Devourment is an American brutal/slam death metal band from Dallas, Texas. Formed in 1995, the band has split up and reformed three times and Brad Fincher is the only original member.
Thy Art Is Murder is an Australian deathcore band from Sydney that formed in 2006. The band consists of vocalist Chris "CJ" McMahon, guitarists Sean Delander and Andy Marsh, drummer Lee Stanton and bassist Kevin Butler. Deathcore but either way, still a great band, get them off the list
Dying Fetus is an American death metal band originally from Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Formed in 1991, the group is known for their consistently hook-laden song structures, characterized by blast beats, complex riffing, slam riffs and heavy breakdowns. I don't hate death metal that much anymore (I still don't really like it though), but holy crap, this is an abomination. HOW CAN ANYONE LIKE THIS? Good god, this is one awful band.
I blasted them in class once.
I never really know what people hate about Dying Fetus other than the band name
There songs are nasty
Carcass are a British extreme metal band from Liverpool, who formed in 1985 and disbanded in 1995. A reformation was enacted in 2007 without one of its original members, drummer Ken Owen, due to health reasons. Who put carcass here
Gorod is a technical death metal band from Bordeaux, France. They formed in 1997 under the name Gorgasm releasing their debut album Neurotripsicks on Deadsun Records in 2004. They changed their name to Gorod in 2005 to avoid confusion with an American band also called Gorgasm, re-releasing their debut ...read more.
