  • What killed slam? Although slam is arguably more popular than ever, to me it died when it became something very different from its origins.
    - The birth of slam, from "Liege Of Inveracity" by Suffocation
    - Proto-slam bands like Internal Bleeding, Pyrexia and other NYDM bands as well as Disgorge and Dying Fetus
    - The birth of "true slam" with Repudilation, Deprecated and Devourment, who's 1.3.8 album became the template for modern slam
    - The golden years with bands like Disconformity, Defeated Sanity, Cephalotripsy, Katalepsy and Cerebral Incubation
    - The demise of slam, as it became more like slamcore / deathcore / beatdown / death metal etc with bands like Ingested, Extermination Dismemberment and Vulvodynia leading the way

    “The vocals just sound like burping and I can’t understand it!”
    The vocals in Slam aren’t necessarily a vessel for lyricism. They may have lyrics sometimes but for the most part the vocals are meant to be viewed as an instrument rather than means to convey lyrics or a message. So you don’t need to know the lyrics. Essentially Slam can be viewed as an instrumental genre. There are bands that focus more on lyric based Slam (Guttural Slug, Alter Idem, Kraanium) but honestly you don’t need to know what they’re saying. It’s almost pure aesthetic.
    Slam still slams. If you don’t like it that’s fine. But remember one thing, aggression doesn’t equal meaningless. Just because it’s loud and aggressive doesn’t mean it’s meaningless. Anger and aggression are also part of human expression.

      It’s not that I can’t understand it, it’s that it all sounds the same. I like diversity, and slam doesn’t provide that. The genre itself has a lot of potential, and it would get a lot more recognition if it had more variety, and people wouldn’t just say that it’s something else just cause it has more than just “slam riffs”.

    Nice video. I think you nailed it with your characterizations and descriptions.
    I don't mind good production if the sound is still sufficiently brutal and nasty.
    I came into this genre way too late considering that I started listening to death metal in the 90s. Is there a good list of slam death bands according to the definition from this video? I would love to get such a list so I can avoid all the deathcore.
    As an example of a contemporary slam band that isn't too clean or basically deathcore, I'm currently very fond of The Dark Prison Massacre. It's really nice.

    You nailed it with Suffocation. I was the death metal guy while my other friends were still Slayer/Suicidal dudes. I converted them all, specifically with the Liege of Inveracity riff. Cool to hear from someone else in a different region.

    I think the misogynistic parts of slam kind of add to slam. Most of them probably don't believe what they're saying but they're just trying to be as offensive as possible to add to the brootal factor.

    • @metallitron9000
      @metallitron9000 5 років тому +5

      Yea, it's really just an extension of the hyper-masculine facade of the genre. Im pretty sure that 99% of it is just tongue-in-cheek innocent fun, just like torture themes, baby killing, and pornogrind. It is nothing like NSBM and bands like Peste Noire who actually support and promote nationalist agendas. Even then I don't really care, since it's all about the music for me.

      Yeah I was kinda scratching my head at the criticism. Like, metal is allowed to talk about brutal murders and gore but rape is unacceptable simply because it has a gender bias?

      Yeah. I know this isnt slam but take the infanite death ep from thy art is murder. 40% of the lyrics from the ep is just saying discusting things about women. Its not meant to be taken literly. It just makes it more fucked up. Which is good for the goal of the ep.
