Death Metal history
All death metal is based on nihilism, a movement started by Nietzsche{Russia) which thinks that nothing has real belief and an individual should have values worthy of filling a life. The movement also believed an individual is better than the world. Nihilism also claims normal social behavior is wrong which would promote rebellion and instability which would eventually spread to a new social behavior.
Death metal is basically a progression from Black Sabbath(UK), Judas Priest(UK), The Sex Pistols(UK), hardcore punk(UK, US) and Venom(UK). Black Sabbath started heavy metal in 1970 by expressing their massive dread on modern life and using evil lyrics(this had no relevance to nihilism). Judas Priest were the first band to write lyrics close to nihilism. In 1980 a band called Venom came on the scene which were very heavily influenced by punk, hardcore punk and metal, they took all those sounds, shook them up and it made “Welcome To Hell”, the lyrics were still not nihilism but this black metal album was still one of the most influential albums for death metal. Lots of other bands were trying the same thing as venom but not quite producing nihilistic music. It wasn’t until 1983 that the first nihilistic music was made by Slayer(US). Slayer took the aggression from hardcore punk but made it more evil. Throughout the early-mid 80’s a few death metal bands came on the scene, mainly from Britain and America and they played a satanic sort of nihilism.
In 1986 Slayer got banned from touring in America so they toured in Europe and developed a big following in Sweden, thanks to public funding, a cold depressing climate and a country able to tolerate such nihilistic music. Sweden soon created its own death metal bands and soon boasted the largest death metal following in the world. While earlier death metal was a satanic sort of nihilism, Swedish death metal had a bigger variety of nihilism(satanic and depressive).
It was the collapse of communism in Germany and Russia which caused confusion and an explosion in nihilism. It was these two countries which started grotesque death metal and guttural chanting vocals. Germany and Russia produce{d} the most evil death metal. No country has ever made death metal anywhere near as evil that these have The former states of USSR also produced really grotesque and evil death metal.
In 1991 an American death metal banned called Suffocation copied German guttural chanting vocals and a lot of other British and American bands soon followed. In 1994 Cannibal Corpse(US) tried to make the most evil/grotesque album of all time “Butchered At Birth” and later in the 90’s Napalm Death(UK)tried to make their name a well known name among teenagers. Various British and American death metal bands have tried making really evil music but none have ever come close to matching how evil/ grotesque German death metal is. To this very day Germany are still making the most nihilistic music and are showing no signs of stopping.
