+Harry Callahan I think that death metal is when your going into a barbarian rage and when your in the heat of the moment, mean wile black metal is when your chopping your way through hoards of enemies with your axe or for those static battle moments where you are running up to the enemy or breaking down a barricade (you know, the not so bloody stuff).
I like black metal but death metal just has a more beefy and louder sound. The problem with black metal is that the drums don't really sound loud and you can't even hear the bass a lot of the times ): but both are good

I havent heard much satanism in death metal, in fact the only ones Ive heard is from deicide and I dont really listen to that band, I have heard it however in a lot of bm, it's hard to find non satanic bands, Idk Im not satanic so I dont care, just saying I really havent heard much satanism from the death metal side, maybe Ive been listening to too much slam and deathcore
Back in the day this video helped me a lot to know and introduce me to the bands exposed in the video. I clarify that I knew some but not others, such as cryptopsy or immortal, what good times were adolescence. Thank you, 15 years have passed and the video is still here.
There are two separate definitions of black metal. Venom fits under the old definition. It is called first wave. The Scandinavian style that people are me re familiar with evolved in the early 90s with bands like Mayhem
both rock and rule. bow to both. almost all family of metal = awesome specially extreme metal, black metal, death metal, gothic metal... is even hard to tell the difference cause many bands play more than one kind and all are so epic that your ear wont tell the difference between epic and epic....
White boy With a knife cannibal corpse has some brutal album covers, and those extreme screams that sound like a brutal horror movie, gorgoroth is fast
Im sure that alot of people know this but the song "Hand of Blood" By BFMV stole the main guitar pattern from "War" by Burzum (Which is played in this vid). Just for those who dont know :P
Yeah I know exactly what you mean I usually listen to tech death metal, but I listen to all the other sub genres like brutal, melodic, and Scandinavian death metal. I know some technical black metal bands too, but I prefer death metal because grew up listening to bands like these.
I started with Thrash, evolved into Death, and finally discovered Black. Love'em all, but in this fight I say: Best Death - Cannibal Corpse Best Black - Burzum Winner: Burzum
black metal and death metal are awesome genres!!! the only thing that I do not like the black metal is that it is satanic, I hear groups of non-satanic black metal, but I also like Gorgoroth, Burzum and Behemoth. What I like about both genders are the tools, the voice I dislike a bit.
bit of both, black metal tends to have more higher frequencies in the vocals and guitars. the vocals are more like screams, where as death metal has more lows, the vocals are growls and the guitars are lower. it also tends to have a faster, choppy feel to it.
I don't think so because insomnium, (old) in flames, dark tranquillity, arch enemy,... are without any doubt MDM bands, I think it's pretty ridiculous to say that they aren't. Well anywayz,I checked out paths of possession and i liked it, thanks for that ^^
Exactly! You can like one genre more or much more, but you can't say that these bands suck. Personaly Im a death metal fan, but I would never say that Bathory or Gorgoroth are weak.
yea i know what your talking about. i try to give black & death metal a chance but i haven't really found many bands that appeal to me (besides Dimmu Borgir).
I honestly love both, though my knowledge cd collection is severely lacking in black metal, which I intend to remedy soon. In my opinion black metal is epic and hypnotic and just awesome while death metal just makes your head wanna explode, in a good way.
Vocals play a part in both styles of metal!!! As far as Black Metal goes im a HUGE Behemoth fan!!! Im not a big fan Dimmu Borgir but their pretty good. Bathory, Gorgoroth and Immortal are amazing and as far as Death Metal im a HUGE Cannibal Corpse fan and HUGE Arch Enemy fan. Their Rise of the Tyrant album was phenomenal!!! Too many good bands from both genres but I listen to Death Metal more. I honestly like Grindcore and some math metal mainly Meshuggah. Gotta love Black and Death Metal!!!
You seem to mess the point behind Burzum; It's not about sounding evil, the vocals and the atmosfear are only tools used to anhance the composition. You ought to listen to Hvys lyset Tar Oss to know what I'm talking about.
I didn't say it's easy, but I said that they don't do something great with their talent! (Is there keyboard in one of these song? I can try to cover one song)
It's hard to really compare them in this manner. They both have different characteristics. I personally like both and I listen to both equally as much. It depends on the artist and the musical and lyrical variety.
Ah man finally someone that sees it right. How can it be first wave if the bands sounded nothing alike!? Venom, Celtic Frost and Bathory sound nothing alike!! All they did was have the similar image really. Also no one called them Black metal bands till the mid 90's.
It really depends on what kind of mood I'm in. If I want speed, brutality and technical stuff I'll listen to some death metal but if I want some high pitched screaming, awesome blastbeats and pure evil stuff, I'll go with black metal.
if you see there are some differences between death & black ..(Black is my fav.)in black metal the guitars & bass are more active and change the rytmh .... but at black first 2 mins is the same rhytm ... and a difference .. Death Metal = Bad words about Christyanity ... Black Metal = more rare bad words about religion and they sing about pain & lose of a person ...
i agree, but i prefer hair metal the most, where it is alright to smile and show that you ARE a human being lol but i prefer power metal over black or death ANY second of ANY day :D
Yeah, both are pretty good, the only shit is modern death metal (Cannibal Corpse, Internal Suffering, etc.), that's just pathetic. Older death metal was alot better (Death, Slayer), cuz it wasn't just growling and blast beats.
Great Video man! But how come you didn't put any Death on here? You put a lot of pioneers of bm, but not showing Chuck any love? Where you just going for the "extremes" of the two genres? and just trying to show the MOST growly versus the most screechy? Still a rad video \m/ \m/
I try to get into black metal, but some of the sounds just dont resonate with me. I dont mind the vocals at all (I personally like black metal vocals more), and I love atmospheric bands. I just wish the sound had some more beef and bite to it.
I like both genres of music. I really don't care what people label it as, I just like the music. But the thing about Death Metal is that it's rejecting everything everyone else stands for. Black Metal is somewhat the opposite in that respect, as it talks about embracing your Pagan roots, and shunning Christianity and utterly destroying religion (which in my opinion is a good thing). It's not just the music, its the message behing the music. The music is just a way of putting it out there.
Well you should go check some covers of that song(black metal by venom!!!) by a death or black metal band and maybe it will be easier for you to embrace its essence!
I vote for black metal, sry but death metal is uninteresting to me. Btw it should be possible to add a poll to videos, would make it easier to see which has most votes. Pps: Hypocrisy is considered death metal? I didn't know that...
Well, bands like Burzum or Darkthrone initially appeared because their creators found Death Metal uninspired and mostly concerned with guitar riffs and concerts rather than atmosphere or ideology. Compare "Soulside Journey" and "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" by Darkthrone to see how explicit this denunciation was.
Immortal, best there is ( a matter of taste I know)- heh, but there must be a reson why Hypocrisy went "blacklike" all offa sudden & made a project black band named The abyss - Black is scandinavias answer to american def meddel - anyway Metal on From Denmark
burzum, venom, bathory, mayhem and more, the first best European black metal bands.. death metal (usa) origen of black metal and punk.. Black Metal dark ambient is + best yeaaa..
If only there were a genre with the dark satanic mystified content of black metal but with sound of early death metal ... now that's what I'm looking for but can't find it spot on
it actually depends on the band like I love early Bathory which has some satanic lyrics and is raw early black metal but on the countrary theres dimmu borgir which has a lot of satanic lyrics which rip off of Bathory alot but they are also really corny and are taking after COF where they are going even more mainstream.
yep- Peter Tægtgren owns the Abyss studio - BUT - he made a black band named The Abyss first & recorded it in there. - try searchin for Hypocrisy & the abyss - ure bound to find it- rather good their first was actually:)
Only some melodic black metal bands, death metal has the whole swedish thing going with the melody and keyboards these days too. I love both personally.
First wave black metal. There was no defined sound for black metal back then. Bathory, Venom and Celtic Frost were considered the first black metal bands.
this isn't a matter of genre "representation", it's a matter of song comparisons. (directed towards slayeranthrax666, seeing as how the comment system on youtube is shitty and takes a few days to go into proper effect)
Both are great, Death metal is for the battle itself, Black metal is for sitting back and enjoying the carnage you have created.
+Harry Callahan I think that death metal is when your going into a barbarian rage and when your in the heat of the moment, mean wile black metal is when your chopping your way through hoards of enemies with your axe or for those static battle moments where you are running up to the enemy or breaking down a barricade (you know, the not so bloody stuff).

How the fuck it's Mayhem not here ?
That's exactly what I was thinking!!
Both genres are good i prefer black metal but death metal is also good brutal and fast..Hails!!!
TWO WORDS: Chuck Schuldiner
Venom is Thrash not Black.
One of the most accurate answers! Though i will add that death and black are children of thrash....
***** exactly.
There are two separate definitions of black metal. Venom fits under the old definition. It is called first wave. The Scandinavian style that people are me re familiar with evolved in the early 90s with bands like Mayhem
Babyface6200 their trash but they mix it with black metal
They are Speed Metal and Thrash/Black/Death and any other genre of the Extreme Metal scene are children of Speed Metal HELL
There are many of Death Metal legendary bands that aren't included in this list, such as Morbid Angel and Death.
Death metal is bettee because it is more brutal and trending than black metal
I would say that black metal is the best because it has the most extreme sound.
both rock and rule. bow to both. almost all family of metal = awesome specially extreme metal, black metal, death metal, gothic metal...
is even hard to tell the difference cause many bands play more than one kind and all are so epic that your ear wont tell the difference between epic and epic....
wait, I just found 2 differences: The voices and the looks
What a legendary 12 years old comment.
Agreed
