Death Metal is the music genre of total nihilism. Mostly rhythmic music, this genre uses muffled power chords or single-string playing to hammer out a machine code of intricate riff textures. It is distinguished by guttural chanting vocals. In fact, the name "Death Metal" is a reference to the vocals (of a dead man), and the primarily morbid lyrical content. Death metal exists underground by deliberately disrupting consonant aesthetic and programming the human mind at the lowest levels with natural, intuitive rhythms.

Epic metal is descended from the devotees of Bathory’s "Blood, Fire, Death," and this genre works folk song nationalism and epic narrative of multi-generational movements on the level of a people, creating symbolic black metal with lengthy melodies. BORKNAGAR VINTERSORG AMON AMARTH
