Brutal Death Metal

Brutal Death Metal
Brutal death metal developed by combining certain aspects of the song structures of grindcore/goregrind with death metal. This genre tends to be a little less technical (see above). Brutal death metal is associated with bands like Cannibal Corpse, Brutus, Severe Torture, Krisiun, Disgorge, Devourment, Origin, Disavowed, Drawn and Quartered and Suffocation. One main characteristic of brutal death is the vocal style, called death grunt, which are almost always very low-pitched. The lyrics are mostly gore related, sung in a slow and choppy manner. In addition, the guitar riffs are usually chunky grooves or hyper fast and down-tuned, often with pinch harmonics. The drumming is usually highly varied in style, ranging from slow and churning to blast beat, as is often the case in grindcore. The album sound production on most brutal death metal bands albums usually have a dense sound. New York bands such as Suffocation and Pyrexia can be considered the origins of this style.
