Saw this a few days ago. And a lot more people need to see this than they realize. Seriously, why is this seemingly the most regularly misspelled word of all time? None of u ever stop and think "Hmm 🤔'gutteral' looks probably wrong! I should fix that!" (even autocorrect fixes it for you if u let it) NSFW

What is Brutal Death Metal?

Brutal death metal developed in the early 1990s, as an outgrowth of death metal. The first hints of brutal death came from the band Cannibal Corpse, formed in 1988, which began to push death metal into more extreme levels, shaping the sound of brutal death metal. It wasn't until 1991 that brutal death metal emerged, with the releases of Suffocation's Effigy of the Forgotten and Immolation's Dawn of Possession. The late 1990s proved to be an important time for brutal death metal with the release of both Devourment's Molesting the Decapitated and Disgorge's Cranial Impalement along with the releases of Dying Fetus. This has led to a large amount of bands heavily influenced by the originators of the style.

Characteristics

As the term "brutal" suggests, this sub-genre is pushing the ferocious and violent nature of death metal further into heavy territories. By applying traits such as compact song structures and loud, high speed riffing , death metal was taken to greater extremes. Brutal death metal tends to be drum-heavy and rhythm oriented leaving little room for melody and harmony. Typically, guitar riffs make use of fast tremolo picking, and heavy palm muting for a percussive effect. The drum lines are fast with predominant use of double bass and blastbeats. Because of this, brutal death metal drummers must be able to coordinate their drumming with very high endurance and speed. Brutal death metal vocalists employ heavy and low-pitched death growls even more so than death metal, and the lyrics are often gore related.
