Two total newb (fake fan) mistakes in this vid from 11:25 onwards- -first stating ‘Covenant’ was relaesed the same year as ‘The Bleeding’ (93 and 94 respectively) -second stating Cannibal released a new album in 95, ‘Vile’ was not released till ‘96. Sorry, a real fan had to expose this poser.
He shit all over Schuldiner and Death by failing to mention just how much he was the influence and driving fore of the whole genre. Each death metal album released in 90's from the major bands was in direct competitive response to Chuck raising the bar. Human album, Symbolic, Individual Thought Patterns, Sound of Perseverance. ..There are no technical or progressive death metal bands without Chuck and the influence those albums had, and still have to this day. Fuck this poser.
I'm so sad. I had chance to see them their last tour but missed the concert because I had to work (even though I booked it off months in advance and bought tickets) I told myself they would tour again I just need to be patient. Looks like I'll never get that chance again 💔
In 2019 death metal is in the healthiest position it's been since the 90s. Now I've commented I shall go ahead and watch the video, like a true UA-cam viewer. 😁🤘🏼
It has definitely lost its mainstream reach but I agree that there are plenty of new bands keeping that old school DM sound alive and well (Gatecreeper, Tomb Mold, Genocide Pact etc.)
@J.W. So true. The hardcore kids playing death metal is the current in thing. I can't get behind most of them because of their weak monotone growls. I tend to look outside of the current crop of Relapse death metal.
I'm 41 and thrashed since I was 10, I have degenerative disk disease partially from spastically headbanging and convulsing on stage...I wish I got the pillow ad...
When he says "what killed death metal" he's not saying nobody listens to it and that it's dead like disco. He's saying that it lost its "mainstream" appeal. It lost alot of popularity since the 90's that's without a doubt and this video is on why that is. Even the giants of death metal aren't selling the same amount of records not even close. I'm still a massive death metal fan but even I know it's not as popular as it was which is a shame because there's killer new bands and alot of the OG's of death metal have came back like Obituary and more recently Possessed!
Death metal/black metal I don't think they were meant to have mainstream appeal, it didn't had back in the 90's and it doesn't have it today. That being said, extreme metal has more fans now that they had 20 years ago.
@Jeremy Stillwell it did in the sense that people went to the shows. Once a genre loses its appeal and people don't go to shows then it's not mainstream enough to support the scene. Even if there were only 150-200 people typically at a show it's a lot better than 20 people with only half buying merch.
Big ups to Cryptopsy’s None so Vile, which pretty much raised the bar in the mid 90’s. Completely insane and inventive musicianship. RIP Chuck. The Godfather
Dude, did you not see that MASSIVE renaissance from 2004 until around 2008 or so? Behemoth and Nile got big, Deicide got their shit together, Cannibal Corpse released Kill. Even Gorefest got back together! And then today there's all of these new kids finding their feet and growing with talent! Even the older bands like Napalm Death are still working on new albums for 2020! You're just on a nostalgia high, my friend. I appreciate that the bands you loved are not scratching the itch like they used to, but you can't condemn the future because it isn't like the past.
@Walls You completely forgot about Disgorge, Cesspool of Vermin, Abominable Putridity, Cephalotripsy, Prostitute Disfigurement, Devourment, and Brodequin. Those bands are Household names. Dying Fetus are probably going to be more popular than Metallica. Death Metal music is bigger than it's ever been
I am 44 years old, and Earache also got me into death metal. Definitely, one of the things that killed it was too many bands. Black metal dealt it a huge blow too. Great analysis. Personally, I got tired of the "evil" lyrics, and stuck with bands like napalm death, which were brutal, fast, and actually had something to say. I wonder if that happened to other teens, who as they grew up started finding the lyrics dumb. I still listen to a lot of death metal. Melodic death metal and blackened death metal seem to be still popular substyles these days.
I actually told a 22 year old after we talked about got, south park etc. Then i brougth up beavis and butthead because i had just seen the movie. He thanked me for suggesting them but he also said he hadnt thought about them that much. However i think he basically knew who-the-hell i was talking about. Its only after i thought about it like what the hell did i just recommend beavis&butthead to a 22 year old lol
I think I’m gonna delve into bevis and butthead and collect all I can of them and the jackass videos and just jump head first into my alcoholism. I wish I was kidding
I wax poetic about the show! How good the comedy actually was. The timing, the improvisations, etc. And, how many cool bands I was exposed to from the show, that a 12-year-old girl from the middle of nowhere wouldn't normally have had access to...My husband loved Monster Magnet, but he was only aware of them after Space Lord came out. I told him the first time I heard them, it was Negasonic Teenage Warhead, on B&B! 😁 For reference, I'm 37.
I love 90's Death Metal. I remember in High School (1995) a Mexican gangster I went to school with introduced me to Suffocation. I remember being amazed that this dude loved Death Metal because it seemed out of place with his life style. But we became great friends in school due to us have common taste in music. We used to always talk about any new death metal album that came out and trade cassettes of bands we liked. Hell we even went to a few Morbid Angel, Imprecation, Cannibal Corpse and Deicide shows together.
A lot of Hispanics are into metal (and just about every other type of music out there). They aren't nearly as monolithic as Blacks in terms of their tastes. MS-13 were originally HEAVILY into metal music (and weed, lol).
@@jasondankenbring1710- Very True! Here in Texas, San Antonio is probably the biggest metal city due in large part to the Hispanic community. I saw Morbid Angel play there last year and the venue was probably 85% Mexican. They loved it. Steve Tucker at one point said "Where are all of my Satanic Hispanics out there!!".
The death metal underground today is so vibrant. All of these bands are still touring, but the death metal goodness is gurgling underground as good as ever today.

I was around even before the boom... I too sought the heaviest of all, but that's what I think gave Marilyn Manson his chance because it couldn't get any heavier so it got weirder. But early deicide will always have a special place in my heart. Of course we can truly all thank Slayer! I'm surprised you haven't done a Slayer video yet
Death Metal is still alive and kicking. Cannibal Corpse still pack venues and steadily release decent albums. The animated series Metalocalypse wouldn't have been successful if Death Metal were really "killed".
@@hellstrings2379 why because you can't imitate Barney Greenway with such accuracy??? Napalm Death were his original choice for the band to appear in Ace Ventura. He only chose Cannibal Corpse because Napalm Death weren't able to make it. This was why he did this comedy skit on Arsenio Hall. I bet that you haven't even heard of Sadistic Intent
@@PalashaGabarra Well actually. There have been a fuck ton of people starting to do death metal again. Metal goes through phases, and death is coming back with stuff like Tomb Mold, Ripped to Shreds, Cadaver Circulation, etc.
No but it sure took a nap for a while in 1996. I should know I was playing it then and now. Everyone went rap for a while or worse rap metal. Bad days.
2018 was a huge year for death metal. An insane amount of releases from bands that can hold their own with the og's from labels like Maggot Stomp and 20 Buck Spin. Dont sleep on Tomb Mold, Scorched, Blood Incantation, and Outer Heaven they are currently putting out some of the best music the genre has ever seen
Evulse, Acephalix, Blood Incantation, Mortuous, Fetid, Necrot ,etc. The last couple years have seen so many incredible death metal releases it’s ridiculous.
death metal doesn't really work in the "what killed it" train of thought. there have been extremely successful death metal bands but the bulk of the action has always been situated outside the mainstream commercial environment, and the same case can be made for many different genres of metal. its that ability to function without the need for mainstream exposure that ensures metal will survive the test of time. shit its been like 60 years now and the train powers on. the best metal bands happened on commercial success only as a by-product of staying true to the music and the fans, and creating superb albums that reflected that. you can't kill metal. its self-sustaining ;)
yes. + to my perception its doing better now than it was in the 90s. I played death metal in San Diego back then, about 93 -96. hardly anyone was into DM.
I agree that Death metal is still alive there are lots of bands that keep producing albums that are good and that are successful and it's a genre that still has new bands popping up often
Death metal hasn’t died and it’s more mainstream now, more than ever due to social media. Bands are still selling out tours, selling tons of merch and having the ability to interact with fans online socially and give them live streams.
It’s not more mainstream, but it’s bigger. It’s only bigger cuz the internet allows the underground to be bigger. The 90s was the peak of mainstream appeal for death metal. Name me one new band that has mainstream appeal or cultural impact outside of the underground
It has a bigger following because the population is bigger and people can congregate in online communities. It’s not mainstream at all. Most people have never heard of it when I say “death metal” but everyone has heard of “hard rock”
@@Nissardpertugiu1. Browning was from 83 to 86 2. Amon is from 87 (my mistake) 3. How the fuck would he play with them before the band didn't even exist?
U know what's strange to me? When Beavis and Butthead are talking sh!t about the Morbid Angel song...that portion of that song is the first thing i think of when i think of Morbid Angel. It was the first song i heard that was definitely them, and that part of God of Emptiness was my favorite.
metal is one of those genres where nothing dies, it just evolves, transforms, mixes, converges with other similar or different genres but at the same time the original genre is still there and never goes away.
"Black metal was the hot new kid on the block"... i imagine a scene with varg vikernes moving into a suburban col de sac, flashing that sly courtroom smile of his
You clearly didn't watch the video. He's talking about the Commercial success of the 90s where it was prominent to find a Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel video on MTV prime time. It's clearly not anywhere near COMMERCIALLY successful as it was in the 90s
@@basssungwoo I see your point, but i can say that nothing killed the success for those bands in my point of view and for my friends. They are as succesfull as ever :) maybe we aged like the bands did but i don't feel like the bands' success was killed. I'm not sure about their comercial success as i can not recall millions of people flocking to buy their records (at least not in EU) compared to more popular pop bands or whatever other genres. There are plenty of successful bands out there if you don't put the = symbol between success and rich. If one band's success ends because they aren't rich then i can't agree with that statment since the majority of their fans aren't rich either. Their success "was killed" because of censorship worldwide and the decision of commercial tv channels to earn more money by any means. But i really don't miss the times those old MTV days. Everything has shifted slowly into online.
@@basssungwoo, the video is pointless, because you can make the same claim about every genre of music. Every genre has a peak/boom. It's inevitable. No music genre hits their peak, then forever sustains it. What TPRMBA fails to address is the fact that death metal acts like CC and Morbid Angel got big pushes from their record label in the early 90s. They wanted their bands to be the next Metallica and they took a risk. It worked to some extent and gave exposure to underground death metal bands, but it wasn't a great investment and those record companies learned their lesson. That's the boom he's referring to. It wasn't a failure of the fans or the bands that already liked the music and because of that, the genre never even came close to dying. Some young kids probably tried out some Morbid Angels albums, realized they didn't really like it, then didn't buy another one. Simple as that.
The scene you showed from Ace Ventura was cut from the theatrical version and only shown in the TV edit due to time/padding. The theatrical scene was them just playing as he walked through the crowd before he meets the scientist.
Granted, it was half death, half thrash, but the 2012 tour lineup with Fueled By Fire, Morbid Angel, Nile, and Kreator has been one of best shows I've seen so far in my life.

Not a fan of Nile but Cattles only super sick years were literally from 1999-2009 so yes they kept it hard & thriving especially mixing with Grindcore. Bloodbath from Sweden also kept it up in the 2000s
I feel bad for cattle. They get put on bills with bands and fans who aren’t into them. I will say the crowd do their best to accept them because they are told to but I can tell that they belong on different bills.
@@riv6580 those are slam bands but I agree those are very good bands for sure maybe even my 2 favorite bands skinlesses 2nd album has some ridiculous heavy tracks particularly pool of stool and the optimist
Corp death comp changed my life it not only got me into more death metal but it got me into d beat crust like Disrupt and Destroy and also Death doom like Disembowelment... I was in Jr. High.. I was a odd ball.. loved anything raw,noisey and heavy
The genre kept cranking out classics, and honestly the fact that Morbid Angel ever got on Atlantic still blows my mind. They still made epic music like no one was watching at their highest points. These bands never needed popularity like that because they still came out of the era where everything you did depended on a loyal fan base.
NERD EDIT: At 15:14 Vader "Silent Empire" is playing while the cover for Massacre "From Beyond" is on the screen. Also, Beavis and Butthead along with Ace Ventura is exactly how I discovered death metal. And totally accurate on black metal killing death metal during that time.

Cmon people ease up! I just pointed out a small mistake, that's all. The topic of music is HUUUGE so there is room for mistakes (so many facts, dates, people etc). I love this channel and it already introdced me to some new music or a music I skipped and always wanted to check out. Chill and enjoy the content!
Well if at any point you're interested in checking out death metal, here are some recommendations for more recent stuff. it's not all pure DM, some is mixed genre, melodic or technical, for some variety. Deicide - Defying The Sacred Once Human - Eye Of Chaos Decapitated - One Eyed Nation Blood Red Throne - Gore Encore Bloodshot Dawn - Survival Evolved Septic Flesh - 3rd Testament Cypecore - The Alliance Obscura - Diluvium Whispered - Sakura Omen Necrophobic - Pesta Gloria Morti - Executioner No Raza - Evil's Seed Temple of Demigod - Amorphous Draconian - Stellar Tombs Cryptopsy - Sire Of Sin Jungle Rot - A Burning Cinder Exmortus - Let Us Roam Feared - Your Black Is My White and I'll leave it at that before I spend all day making a list.
came here to say the same thing. the content is good if you're willing to watch/learn about any genre just because Finn created the video. love the channel!
I still remember playing drums for a Death Metal band (Disembodied / Griswold) back in the early '90s in the Seattle area...did a show with Coven, good times.
I absolutely love that Death Metal has retreated back to the underground (not trying to be elitist in this statement)...The underground new wave of OSDM is absolutely killing it right now and makes me feel like I am in the late 80's early 90's Florida/NYC scene as it was unfolding.
@@RequiemDead I only recently got into Atheist. And I listen to Pestilence a lot. So I'm liking the old progressive stuff. And Pan.thy.Monium. Weird and prog stuff if that's still going on. Otherwise just some of your favorites of osdm style stuff. Thanks much
@@MetalNick Death - The Sound of Perseverance --- A MASTERPIECE you will love it, and DEATH is for me the BEST DEATH METAL Band --- Sadly, Chuck passed away in 2001 RIP
Not enough people talk about how one of the best ways you discovered bands in the 90s and early 00s was the label samplers/compilations. There's nothing like buying thar nuclear blast cd and hearing early inflames and Soilwork for the first time.
If you'd watched the video you would have realised its about how Death metal is not even like as commercially successful anymore as it was in the early-mid 90s. The title is to get more people to click on it because people like you feel like you need to come and defend a genre
Dude I am 53 years old and still a Death Metal Listener, all threw Jr High School & High School from 1979 thru 1985 and beyond I still wake up too my physical therapy of Heavy Metal in the morning and listening to it in My daily travels driving across the USA as a Truck Driver, Fast Truck and great music keeps you fit for any time of day. I grew up listening too Napalm Death, Cannibal corps, Suicidal Tendency, Anthrax, Merciful Fate, Testament, the list goes on and on!!!!
No one can destroy the metal the metal will strike you down with a vicious blow we are the vanquished foes of the metal we tried to win, for why we do not know
I'm surprised that there's no mention of the rise of melodic death metal. It rose to prominence in the late 90s/early 2000s and is still going strong to this day with bands like Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Black Dahlia Murder, and DevilDriver. There's also the blackened death metal scene, which rose around the same time and persists to this day.
@@winstonsmith6457 That's understandable. It's my favorite genre of metal ever, but there's a lot of hands down just boring bands that aren't really interesting. I guess I'm a fan, but only of the good melodeath. At the gates, dark tranquility, edge of sanity, unleashed i guess counts, death, early in flames, scar symmetry, carcass, children of bodom, kalmah, mors principium est, sein, dissection, etc.. That's the main problem with the rest, not brutal enough, utilizing wayyyy too many clean vocals and being way too boring. Just complete loss of aggression basically, (cough cough* insomnium)..
@@Morphoidism storm of the lights bane is so goddamn good. it literally got me into bm and melodeath. intestine balism is almost like brutal melodeath as wyatt described it. also really good. If you enjoy that more raw melodeath side, listen to at the gate first three albums, and first demo (especially red in the sky is ours). Also check out edge of sanity's "purgatory afterglow". I dont listen to NS bands but argohslent is also very good, so that's somethin else to check out.
Yeah but post this video on a death metal Facebook page and he gets ragged on I've seen it before and it really pisses me off, but I understand it though he just give a general outline he said himself does he even know much about black metal
Oh and it's strange how dissection seems to get left out of both death metal and black metal documentaries, even though they are well known and musically one of the best in both genres.
Dissection get tons of respect where it matters. Storm of the light's bane and The Somberlain are classics. Bands like Watain wouldn't exist without Dissection.
@@BBQcheese Not typical death metal,but not completely devoid of death metal either,they're usually viewed as a blackened death metal band,although I think melodic black metal with a hint of death metal would be more appropriate 😝 within the circles yeah but they always get left out in documentaries
@@lyndonbauer1703 I think he might have had a stable job that paid more than playing metal. Sad but would make sense. If they released the album it'd probably fall short after a brief hype phase, realistically. It'd be their Chinese Democracy. Only actually still good
@UA-cam is fun Hell yeah, I heard it was something to do with engineerng but never was sure, thx. As lony as he's happy with what he does/earns his living, that album can keep waiting, lel
I'm definitely a Roadrunner guy, but my first death metal album was Butchered at Birth in '92. That shit back then was almost too heavy and fast for me, but damn was it intriguing. I also got into Deicide, and my younger sister "told on me", telling my parents that I was listening to Satanic music. Man, that shit was so taboo back then, ha ha.
I'll tell you when Death Metal started... With the release of "Scream Bloody Gore" by who else? Death of course. Although, IMHO Morbid Angel's "Domination" was the pinnacle musically.
I'm surprised no one replied to hatefully argue that it was Possessed Seven Churches and then call you a dumbass. People really get heated about shit like that for some reason.
@@okaythen27 You would love a very little-known band called Ripping Corpse. It's the band that the other guitarist (can't remember his name) that played on both of those LPs
The change for me came when I heard Entombed's "Left hand Path" when I was stationed in Germany in 1990. From there it moved to the Swedish melodic death metal and eventually the blackened thrash of bands like Dissection. The American style of DM just seemed boring compared to what was going on in Scandinavia. Of course I eventually found my way back to my American DM roots. Some very good material coming out these days.
Same here! Left Hand Path pretty much single-handedly got me into death metal a few years ago. It sent me down a huge rabbit hole researching the whole death metal history and I never looked back
Doom metal had a huge influence on breaking deathmetal, too. In 95 My Dying Bride's Angel and the Dark River and Anathema's Silent Enigma tore apart what remained after Emperor's Nightside. Those 3 album shattered nearly every deathmetal band I knew.
@Dope Sirens i cited these 2 albums because they jooned and furthered the move away from death metal adressed in the video. There are no death growls on them, but whatever sub genre of doom you want to call them, its still doom. Paradise lost may have been a pioneer of deathdoom, and may have moved into goth rock, but they were not influencial in popping the 90s death metal bubble. My Dying Bride and Anathema were more influencial on this switch.
@Dope Sirens Angel and the Dark River in particular sent huge waves through the death metal scene. Many musicians I knew changed their whole philosophy on music because of it.
"Image" ..yes , Dude is spot on about the concept of "image" in BM - especially on stage- and how that relates to the superiority and satisfaction of the genre .
Awesome series. I guess rise of melodic death helped to kill death metal popularity a bit too. At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, Carcass's Heartwork, Soilwork, In Flames, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom and Kalmah to name a few were taking over in the late 1990s and I believe they have a bit wider appeal even today. I'd love to see a video about that, cause these guys sort of started running out of steam during early to mid 2000s, some marching on nowadays too and they arguably left a strong legacy as well, but Finn doesn't care for melodic death sadly :D But of course there are tons of newer totally awesome dm bands out there too and generally extreme metal is going strong in the underground.
Brandon Burnett That album was ahead of its time, when you consider later emulators of the style in the 2000’s and beyond; Goat Molestor, Funebarum, etc
Not at all sure why I didn't know until finally watching this video that you have playlists on Spotify.. Your metal playlists are pretty killer. Thank you for putting those together and sharing 👍🏼🤘
A lot of these comments show just how bitchy metalheads can be. FFS, people. This wasn't an attack on your precious, little genre. Lighten up a bit. That said, I was a HUGE fan of this music in the 90s, and played bass in several Milwaukee death metal bands. Between Milwaukee and Chicago, we had a pretty healthy scene too. Of course, the party had to end at some point. Not to say that death metal is dead, but it's certainly different. It is nice to see a lot of the bands mentioned in this video still out there touring and releasing new music. I mean, I live in the Seattle area now, and Obituary, Deicide and Jungle Rot all played here last night (my own band also had a show so I was not able to go). So no, 90s death metal isn't dead. It just has a sore back and it's knees creek when it first stands up. 🤘😁
Death Metal has never been as accepted and thriving then it is today. There's a lot more sub genres than ever before. If anything is slowly decaying its punk. And hardcore...that's just flat out dead.
@Patrick Bertlein I think it was two separate shows. And, those bands were still around for the first couple years I was out here, but I haven't heard anything about them since.
Since a few years back the DM-scene in Denmark has exploded. Tons of quality DM is comming from Denmark, and today they probably have the most interesting DM-scene of them all
Dangerous2099 he’s just using click bait to peddle his advertising. These tabloid type videos that pop up in my recommendations are the only reason I bother to comment. Use AD block, comment and thumb down.

Sorry, a real fan had to expose this poser.
All these videos about what killed the genre are stupid and bias, I wonder what this guy thinks is a genre that's not dead, pop? R&B? Pop punk?
Just like Deadpool. Pun intended
He shit all over Schuldiner and Death by failing to mention just how much he was the influence and driving fore of the whole genre.

In 2019 death metal is in the healthiest position it's been since the 90s. Now I've commented I shall go ahead and watch the video, like a true UA-cam viewer. 😁🤘🏼
Mine is coming out next month.
It has definitely lost its mainstream reach but I agree that there are plenty of new bands keeping that old school DM sound alive and well (Gatecreeper, Tomb Mold, Genocide Pact etc.)
@J.W. So true. The hardcore kids playing death metal is the current in thing. I can't get behind most of them because of their weak monotone growls. I tend to look outside of the current crop of Relapse death metal.
@J.W. Vitirol, Hath, Dyscarnate, Skeletal Remains are some newer death metal bands that are currently floating my boat.
@J.W. Korpsesoturi is one of those new bands coming out from Finland. They're awesome
Excellent presentation and EPIC transition to the skillshare promo haha damn!

Right before his example of a slam riff, I got an ad with the softest music imaginable.
I think that death metal artists don't give a crap about being "marketable". more power to 'em. Money ain't everything.
yup, Death metal has some true artist that don't give a shit about being commercially viable, that's why the genre is so rich.
I grew up an hour south of Tampa Florida in the 90's. At that time it was the death metal Mecca. Atheist was from my hometown of Sarasota Florida.

@@donspees9215 Athiest is the shit!
Hell yeah all they cared about was making music
When he says "what killed death metal" he's not saying nobody listens to it and that it's dead like disco. He's saying that it lost its "mainstream" appeal. It lost alot of popularity since the 90's that's without a doubt and this video is on why that is. Even the giants of death metal aren't selling the same amount of records not even close. I'm still a massive death metal fan but even I know it's not as popular as it was which is a shame because there's killer new bands and alot of the OG's of death metal have came back like Obituary and more recently Possessed!
@Jeremy Stillwell there's a reason the word mainstream is in quotations.
Hellcarver T.V id give it to possessed.
Death metal/black metal I don't think they were meant to have mainstream appeal, it didn't had back in the 90's and it doesn't have it today. That being said, extreme metal has more fans now that they had 20 years ago.
@Jeremy Stillwell it did in the sense that people went to the shows. Once a genre loses its appeal and people don't go to shows then it's not mainstream enough to support the scene. Even if there were only 150-200 people typically at a show it's a lot better than 20 people with only half buying merch.
Death metal scene is probably bigger now than it was in the 90s but without the mainstream appeal
Big ups to Cryptopsy’s None so Vile, which pretty much raised the bar in the mid 90’s. Completely insane and inventive musicianship.
RIP Chuck. The Godfather
Dude, did you not see that MASSIVE renaissance from 2004 until around 2008 or so? Behemoth and Nile got big, Deicide got their shit together, Cannibal Corpse released Kill. Even Gorefest got back together!
And then today there's all of these new kids finding their feet and growing with talent! Even the older bands like Napalm Death are still working on new albums for 2020!
You're just on a nostalgia high, my friend. I appreciate that the bands you loved are not scratching the itch like they used to, but you can't condemn the future because it isn't like the past.
You’re completely misinterpreting this dude. A bunch of 80s/90s bands reuniting and playing to 150 people isnt exactly a return to glory

You cant kill death
I am 44 years old, and Earache also got me into death metal. Definitely, one of the things that killed it was too many bands. Black metal dealt it a huge blow too. Great analysis. Personally, I got tired of the "evil" lyrics, and stuck with bands like napalm death, which were brutal, fast, and actually had something to say. I wonder if that happened to other teens, who as they grew up started finding the lyrics dumb. I still listen to a lot of death metal. Melodic death metal and blackened death metal seem to be still popular substyles these days.
Having to explain beavis and butthead to young people.....shit I'm old
I actually told a 22 year old after we talked about got, south park etc. Then i brougth up beavis and butthead because i had just seen the movie. He thanked me for suggesting them but he also said he hadnt thought about them that much. However i think he basically knew who-the-hell i was talking about. Its only after i thought about it like what the hell did i just recommend beavis&butthead to a 22 year old lol
I think I’m gonna delve into bevis and butthead and collect all I can of them and the jackass videos and just jump head first into my alcoholism.
I wish I was kidding
I wax poetic about the show! How good the comedy actually was. The timing, the improvisations, etc. And, how many cool bands I was exposed to from the show, that a 12-year-old girl from the middle of nowhere wouldn't normally have had access to...My husband loved Monster Magnet, but he was only aware of them after Space Lord came out. I told him the first time I heard them, it was Negasonic Teenage Warhead, on B&B! 😁 For reference, I'm 37.

I love 90's Death Metal. I remember in High School (1995) a Mexican gangster I went to school with introduced me to Suffocation. I remember being amazed that this dude loved Death Metal because it seemed out of place with his life style. But we became great friends in school due to us have common taste in music. We used to always talk about any new death metal album that came out and trade cassettes of bands we liked. Hell we even went to a few Morbid Angel, Imprecation, Cannibal Corpse and Deicide shows together.
A lot of Hispanics are into metal (and just about every other type of music out there). They aren't nearly as monolithic as Blacks in terms of their tastes. MS-13 were originally HEAVILY into metal music (and weed, lol).
@@jasondankenbring1710- Very True! Here in Texas, San Antonio is probably the biggest metal city due in large part to the Hispanic community. I saw Morbid Angel play there last year and the venue was probably 85% Mexican. They loved it. Steve Tucker at one point said "Where are all of my Satanic Hispanics out there!!".
Indecent Exxxposure so MS13 likes death metal, who’s suprised? their mantra is Murder Rape Control
i went to the same show, imprecation were a killer band

death metal doesn't really work in the "what killed it" train of thought. there have been extremely successful death metal bands but the bulk of the action has always been situated outside the mainstream commercial environment, and the same case can be made for many different genres of metal. its that ability to function without the need for mainstream exposure that ensures metal will survive the test of time. shit its been like 60 years now and the train powers on. the best metal bands happened on commercial success only as a by-product of staying true to the music and the fans, and creating superb albums that reflected that. you can't kill metal. its self-sustaining ;)

That confirms what he is saying. Too many gatekeeping fans that cling to the past.
Death metal hasn’t died and it’s more mainstream now, more than ever due to social media. Bands are still selling out tours, selling tons of merch and having the ability to interact with fans online socially and give them live streams.
It’s not more mainstream, but it’s bigger. It’s only bigger cuz the internet allows the underground to be bigger. The 90s was the peak of mainstream appeal for death metal. Name me one new band that has mainstream appeal or cultural impact outside of the underground
It has a bigger following because the population is bigger and people can congregate in online communities.
It’s not mainstream at all. Most people have never heard of it when I say “death metal” but everyone has heard of “hard rock”

Nothing killed Death Metal. What are you talking about dude ?
You clearly didn't watch the video. He's talking about the Commercial success of the 90s where it was prominent to find a Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel video on MTV prime time. It's clearly not anywhere near COMMERCIALLY successful as it was in the 90s
@@basssungwoo I see your point, but i can say that nothing killed the success for those bands in my point of view and for my friends. They are as succesfull as ever :) maybe we aged like the bands did but i don't feel like the bands' success was killed.
I'm not sure about their comercial success as i can not recall millions of people flocking to buy their records (at least not in EU) compared to more popular pop bands or whatever other genres.
There are plenty of successful bands out there if you don't put the = symbol between success and rich. If one band's success ends because they aren't rich then i can't agree with that statment since the majority of their fans aren't rich either.
Their success "was killed" because of censorship worldwide and the decision of commercial tv channels to earn more money by any means. But i really don't miss the times those old MTV days. Everything has shifted slowly into online.
It's in the name of the genre. You cannot kill that which is already dead! Muahahahahaaaaa!!!!!
@@basssungwoo, the video is pointless, because you can make the same claim about every genre of music. Every genre has a peak/boom. It's inevitable. No music genre hits their peak, then forever sustains it. What TPRMBA fails to address is the fact that death metal acts like CC and Morbid Angel got big pushes from their record label in the early 90s. They wanted their bands to be the next Metallica and they took a risk. It worked to some extent and gave exposure to underground death metal bands, but it wasn't a great investment and those record companies learned their lesson. That's the boom he's referring to. It wasn't a failure of the fans or the bands that already liked the music and because of that, the genre never even came close to dying. Some young kids probably tried out some Morbid Angels albums, realized they didn't really like it, then didn't buy another one. Simple as that.

Dissection get tons of respect where it matters. Storm of the light's bane and The Somberlain are classics. Bands like Watain wouldn't exist without Dissection.
@@BBQcheese Not typical death metal,but not completely devoid of death metal either,they're usually viewed as a blackened death metal band,although I think melodic black metal with a hint of death metal would be more appropriate 😝 within the circles yeah but they always get left out in documentaries
And we still waiting for necrophagist new album.
Feri Román it’s not happening
fucks me why Suicmez gave it up, his playing is otherworldly.
Yeah I stopped waiting around 5 years ago😹
@@lyndonbauer1703 I think he might have had a stable job that paid more than playing metal. Sad but would make sense. If they released the album it'd probably fall short after a brief hype phase, realistically. It'd be their Chinese Democracy. Only actually still good
@UA-cam is fun Hell yeah, I heard it was something to do with engineerng but never was sure, thx. As lony as he's happy with what he does/earns his living, that album can keep waiting, lel
I use to love walking up to the record store and buying a death metal album like DEICIDE death OBITUARY it was a beautiful time
I'm definitely a Roadrunner guy, but my first death metal album was Butchered at Birth in '92. That shit back then was almost too heavy and fast for me, but damn was it intriguing. I also got into Deicide, and my younger sister "told on me", telling my parents that I was listening to Satanic music. Man, that shit was so taboo back then, ha ha.
Dude, you always have the most incredible intros
I'll tell you when Death Metal started... With the release of "Scream Bloody Gore" by who else? Death of course. Although, IMHO Morbid Angel's "Domination" was the pinnacle musically.
fact. domination is really a masterpiece
I'm surprised no one replied to hatefully argue that it was Possessed Seven Churches and then call you a dumbass. People really get heated about shit like that for some reason.
Covenant is superior to Domination. So are Morbid Amgel's first two albums, actually.
@@okaythen27 You would love a very little-known band called Ripping Corpse. It's the band that the other guitarist (can't remember his name) that played on both of those LPs
Ian Rotten I'll check them out more.
3 years after this videos release, I'm happy to report that death metal shows are still selling out with great zeal in our hometown.
Cheyenne, Wyoming?
The change for me came when I heard Entombed's "Left hand Path" when I was stationed in Germany in 1990. From there it moved to the Swedish melodic death metal and eventually the blackened thrash of bands like Dissection. The American style of DM just seemed boring compared to what was going on in Scandinavia. Of course I eventually found my way back to my American DM roots. Some very good material coming out these days.
Same here! Left Hand Path pretty much single-handedly got me into death metal a few years ago. It sent me down a huge rabbit hole researching the whole death metal history and I never looked back
Dying fetus, today is the day and dillinger escape plans calculating infinity made me move on from traditional death metal for quite a few years.
I listened to those. Now I need a neckbrace.
One of my all time favorite bands.
Umm Origin
Doom metal had a huge influence on breaking deathmetal, too. In 95 My Dying Bride's Angel and the Dark River and Anathema's Silent Enigma tore apart what remained after Emperor's Nightside. Those 3 album shattered nearly every deathmetal band I knew.
@Dope Sirens i cited these 2 albums because they jooned and furthered the move away from death metal adressed in the video. There are no death growls on them, but whatever sub genre of doom you want to call them, its still doom. Paradise lost may have been a pioneer of deathdoom, and may have moved into goth rock, but they were not influencial in popping the 90s death metal bubble. My Dying Bride and Anathema were more influencial on this switch.
@Dope Sirens Angel and the Dark River in particular sent huge waves through the death metal scene. Many musicians I knew changed their whole philosophy on music because of it.
BRO EARLY/MID-90'S EARACHE AND NUCLEAR BLAST COMPILATIONS WERE THE SHIT!!
"Image" ..yes , Dude is spot on about the concept of "image" in BM - especially on stage- and how that relates to the superiority and satisfaction of the genre .
Awesome series. I guess rise of melodic death helped to kill death metal popularity a bit too. At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, Carcass's Heartwork, Soilwork, In Flames, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom and Kalmah to name a few were taking over in the late 1990s and I believe they have a bit wider appeal even today. I'd love to see a video about that, cause these guys sort of started running out of steam during early to mid 2000s, some marching on nowadays too and they arguably left a strong legacy as well, but Finn doesn't care for melodic death sadly :D
But of course there are tons of newer totally awesome dm bands out there too and generally extreme metal is going strong in the underground.
Tech/prog-death and it's various infusions seem to be leading the pack for me now days.
Mortal Throne of the Nazarene is just as atmospheric as any black metal. A lot of that cavernous DM is some of the best
Brandon Burnett That album was ahead of its time, when you consider later emulators of the style in the 2000’s and beyond; Goat Molestor, Funebarum, etc
Not at all sure why I didn't know until finally watching this video that you have playlists on Spotify.. Your metal playlists are pretty killer. Thank you for putting those together and sharing 👍🏼🤘
A lot of these comments show just how bitchy metalheads can be. FFS, people. This wasn't an attack on your precious, little genre. Lighten up a bit.
That said, I was a HUGE fan of this music in the 90s, and played bass in several Milwaukee death metal bands. Between Milwaukee and Chicago, we had a pretty healthy scene too. Of course, the party had to end at some point. Not to say that death metal is dead, but it's certainly different. It is nice to see a lot of the bands mentioned in this video still out there touring and releasing new music. I mean, I live in the Seattle area now, and Obituary, Deicide and Jungle Rot all played here last night (my own band also had a show so I was not able to go). So no, 90s death metal isn't dead. It just has a sore back and it's knees creek when it first stands up. 🤘😁
Well said!
Fucking thank you
keep fucking thrashing man! metal never dies
Death Metal has never been as accepted and thriving then it is today. There's a lot more sub genres than ever before. If anything is slowly decaying its punk. And hardcore...that's just flat out dead.
@Patrick Bertlein I think it was two separate shows. And, those bands were still around for the first couple years I was out here, but I haven't heard anything about them since.
Sweden = Death Metal scene
Norway = Black Metal scene
Denmark = Mercyful Fate
They have a death metal scene now flourishing with Undergang, Taphos, Hyperdontia, Phrenelith, Dead Void, etc.
Norway had a death metal scene before the advent of black metal. eg. Cadaver
Ghost BC = Mercyful Fate part 2
Denmark = No legit metal scene. Even worse than Finland.
Since a few years back the DM-scene in Denmark has exploded. Tons of quality DM is comming from Denmark, and today they probably have the most interesting DM-scene of them all
Corporate Death and Death is Just the Beginning II....still play them, still feel 12-14 when I listen.
Amazing time.
How much did you think that the Relapse headquarters looked like it did in the Corporate Death inlay? I know I did as a kid. 😁
Death is Just the Beginning II is my pick for greatest extreme metal comp of all time.
"And here's an example of NY scene Death Metal riff..." UA-cam Ad proceeds to play a hip hop song
wow, death metal got popular because of Jim Carrey! Thanks, Jim!
Dangerous2099 he’s just using click bait to peddle his advertising. These tabloid type videos that pop up in my recommendations are the only reason I bother to comment. Use AD block, comment and thumb down.
Apparently, Carrey got Cannibal Corpse the Ace Ventura gig.
@@nickgeer8095 Edgy
I remember when "Once Upon the Cross" came out, and I felt like Death Metal had completely taken over. The buzz around that album was insane
all of us Sarasota/Tampa kids would rush home from High school, to listen to Glen Benton, make a fool of himself on the Bob Larson radio show!! What a hoot!
Buffalo NY was huge...favorite underground band; Grotesque Infection so heavy...
At the same time Violent Fury destroyed Syracuse.
@@feralshe-male6858 NY in general had their own scene that was pretty impressive, own style and quite violent.
100% correct Scott, between Violent Fury and Canine Christ, my weekends were filled with awesome metal!
@@feralshe-male6858 we had a group here called the Rochester Slayteam that used to go to all the shows, shout out to Chad...
