[Gm] [A] How would you describe the difference [E] between death metal and black metal?
[G]
[A] Fundamentally it's this, the objective [E] is different.
[G]
Death metal [A] wants to basically [F#] like crush shit.
So we want to [N] help [F#] kill black metal.
[C] Black metal is this more like cathartic, [F#] emotional thing.
[C]
[D] Whereas death metal is pure, like often very mechanical, very like guerrilla.
[A#]
It's that part [Dm] of me that just wants to like break stuff when I'm [Am] mad at things.
[D] That comes out in death metal.
But the [N] part of my soul that feels forlorn and sad comes out [A#] in black metal.
[F#]
And it's mainly European [D] anyway.
Coming from the ice mountains of Norway or what have you,
it's very different [G] culture and very different [N] background experiences.
As opposed to like sunny Florida.
And for those who just think all of this stuff sounds ridiculous and crazy,
you know there actually is a very key characteristic vocal [C] difference.
Something wrong, what's [F#] wrong?
Get out!
[N] Death metal tends to have more low [F#m] register, like grunt, [C] growl.
Whereas black metal [Dm] has this higher register, like a shriek, rasp to it.
[C]
[Em] They're both instantly identifiable.
But there is of course [D] fusion [F] and middle [C] ground between the two genres.
Because heavy metal in all its [N] forms now has been around going on 50 years.
[G] [F]
[E] [F] So the two genres of black and death metal are sometimes [Fm] together called extreme metal.
And they kind of go with more the heavier side of thrash.
Thrash is like the big nexus point for heavy [Dm] metal in the 80s.
Because it comes out of [D#] punk and [N] old rock and old heavy metal.
But then it goes into everything that has aggressive distorted guitars on it pretty much.
[G] Early black metal works like [D] Venom and Bathory have a lot of [A] thrash elements to the musicianship.
[F]
As [G#] do early death [Bm] metal works such as Death for [B] instance.
Or you know most of the floor that's being possessed.
[D] [B]
[E] [G] [N]
[E] The [A#] [C#m] directions the [C#] two genres [A#] evolved both went a few different ways.
Death metal went a [C#m] lot towards like instrumental [A#] extremity.
Where it's like trying to basically [C#] play the craziest [A#] music humanly possible.
[A] [F#m] [E] Whereas black metal a lot of it went in this much more like [D] atmospheric, hypnotic and ambient [F#m] direction.
Where now we're not talking about riff based [D] songs like Slayer would have made or [F#] something.
But we're talking about more, you know [D] it has more in common with post rock or [F#m] shoegaze or something.
[F#]
[E] [B]
[F#] And even [D] before [E] black metal consciously [Em] started doing that.
[F] Earlier works of [G] pure black metal [Em] already had some of those elements such [F] as like Burson's records I [Em] think.
[C] [E]
People [G] often will put in [Em] and when they make a new band they'll [G#] want to [C] say they're a new genre.
[Em] So you'll get like symphonic [G] pirate metal or something.
I don't consider [E] that a real genre you know.
[G#] I'd say like of legitimate [F#] genres [Em] in metal there's [A] probably like seven.
[G#m] Yeah it's a fair amount like [E] major groupings each of those has their various [A] stuff.
You know there's actual genres with a [G#] real history.
So [E] there's maybe this is educational.
