Why does about 85.6 percent of "The Death Metal Scene" suck?

BAND NAMES

First off, I would like to iterate that all these brutal bands that are coming out with "combo-names" as I like to call it, are really getting fucking boring and monotonous. This is a list of bands that will come out in 2005-2006, using these words, "feces", "whore", "anal", "rectal", "abortion", "fetus", "corpse", and "gorge"...

1. Whore's Fetal Abortion Corpse
2. Corpse Feces of Anal Fetus'
3. Whore Feces Upon Feces Engorgment
4. Abortioning Fetal Feces
5. Whore Corpse of an Abortioned Fetus
6. Disgorged Feces of Brutal Whores
7. Rectal Fetus Abortion
8. Fetus Corpse Abortioning
9. Rectal Feces of the Abortioning Whore's Fetus of the Anus
10. Fecal Anal Whore

Awesome band names :rolleyes: *Hey dont get me wrong, feces are fun, but use 'em correctly :)*

THE MUSIC

Secondly, on top of the shitty band names, you have shitty music to back it up, if that is the correct term? All the music consists of is... Gurgles, "brutal" riffs(if you want to call them riffs), all blast, and camo pants! Yes, gurgles are cool vocals, to have a little bit in each song, and those are the only vocals I can do well. And yes, the brutal technical riffs are impressive, but they sound like shit. I respect the guitarists immensely for being able to remember something so technical, but... It sounds like shit. And, blast is fun to play (Afterall, I am a drummer), and it sounds cool... At the right times. You need a beat to feel, instead of a machine gun going off for five minutes long. And, I do indeed, own a pair of camo shorts :cool:

In a convo with Brutal Bob and Fecal Frank:

Brutal Bob: Hey, I heard of this band called Impaled.
Fecal Frank: Wait, what is their name? They have less than four words in their name... They can't be good..
Fecal Frank: Nah, I heard they were good.
Brutal Bob: No, dude... They actually have melody!
Fecal Frank: Ewwww!
Brutal Bob: And you can actually tell the difference between their songs!
Fecal Frank: Eww, fuck these guys!

And the rest of the 14.4 percent of death metal, is good.

I pretty much enjoy it all.

Guts Spill is right actually.

The death metal scene is once again oversaturated by second - and third tier bands that add zero to the survival and/or preservation of the genre and its roots.

Soon enough there'll be another Great Cleansing like we had half a decade ago and all who don't have the quality will either back out or simply vanish as another genre has a peak of commercial success or becomes a "trend" all of the sudden.

This has happened so many times before, and will happen again.

This fag needs to stop copying and pasting my rants.

[Guts Spill]

Yes Jon, because you are the only one that thinks this, tard.

That's my impression of the US scene, too. It's slowly getting that way over here too but it's not really that bad just yet. I think most of the 'new' bands that are hailed as "FUCKING SICK!!!!" should be more like "FUCKING SUCK!!!!"

[Guts Spill]

I wish I lived in Europe :( ...

[sewage666]

I guess I'm a vet of the scene now... and it's always the same. There's always mostly bands you don't like. The good ones get remembered with passion and people forget there is always suck in every music scene.

[Guts Spill]

That is true... But, it's fun to point out all the flaws ;)

[GoreMetals IN]

Thats because "scenes" suck! Strap on your bullet belts and thrash man.Dont succomb to a scene.

[born_to_lose]

What a load of shit.

[Choronzon]

It would be a good start if death metal bands wrote actual songs again, one of the traits Impaled has never forgotten & (obviously) hold in high regard.

I get physically ill from all these bands that mash together a collection of unrelated riffs, add some drums and throw in some toilet recorded vocals and call it "songs".

Call me old-fashioned, but nothing beats a decent, though-out songstructure over senseless blastbeats.

same deal with black metal, all the godamn leather and corpse paint, a logo with an upsidedown cross, some kinda blasphemetic anti-christian but yet fabricated and hipocritical judeo-christian theme, with pictures of goats heads, and shitty riffs that are nothing more than scales beleve it or not, over and over and over and fuuuuuuuucking over...

...

where the fuck did the Odalism, neo paganism, and nordic lore go..?

i fucking hate all these fags that cant even play the godamn shit.
Darkthrone is the ONLY fucking exception...

as far as the death goes, I am very glad for the release of Annialation of the wicked.

The problem is in the clone bands. The fathers of death metal like Death, Monstrosity and Cannibal Corpse (Barnes era) offered ¨enjoyable¨ brutal music. But now the bands are copying and cloning riffs and they only want to play faster, louder and try to do complex guitar works, but in the end they sound the same as the other bands. I agree that there are only 15% of good death metal bands in the scene today.
My favs? Impaled, Origin, Nile and Cannibal Corpse.
