Death Metal and Terrorism[views:1243][posts:6]_______________________________________ [Jan 16,2007 1:06am - miscegenator ""] Death metal is a severe offshoot of heavy metal, a reaction to the superficiality of eighties popular culture. In the early nineties, bands that played death metal considered themselves part of an élite vanguard. They tuned their guitars in unconventional ways, and some, influenced by classical musicians, composed songs that required high degrees of discipline and technical virtuosity to play. Onstage, artists often wore sweatpants to demonstrate their athleticism and lack of pretense; the genre’s signature vocal style is a heavy growling chant. (“We like it when it’s simply rotten,” one musician told me.) It is a subculture in love with its offensiveness, and obsessive about guarding its artistic purity. http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/070122fa_fact_khatchadourian Look for quotation from S.R. Prozak (death/black metal writer from anus.com/metal) halfway through article. |

People wear sweatpants because they're comfortable, not to make some artistic statement. If anything, death metal band members probably wore them to show that they're not using a flashy image to sell records, the music will speak for itself. |
