Problems with this list- 1) Why is Brutal DM placed in the late 80's? Technically some of those bands formed then, but it was not until 1991 that 'Effigy of the Forgotten' and 'butchered at Birth' came out. That's when it began. 2) Why is Devourment placed in Brutal DM? And why no Slam sub genre? Which is where they belong. Devourment did not form in the late 80's LOL. 3) DeathGrind came about in the late 80's (Symphonies of Sickness) so why is it placed late 90's?

[@Dmitriy_D]

Thank you! When i'll make an account there i'll make sure to contact you.

[@lucky87353]

As someone from the Tampa Bay Area, I have this weird sense of pride being from the same place that these amazing bands started out. It's also very cool to know that I went to the same school as Terry Butler, even if I'm only fifteen and he went there decades ago.

[@metalheadblues]

What's the metal scene like in Tampa now?

[@lucky87353]

@@metalheadblues Well friend, I can't really say. I live in Iowa currently since family lives here, and I've moved from Iowa to Florida multiple times. I'm also not from the city of Tampa, I'm from Brandon, and I lived in Seffner last time I lived down there.

[@marc_fp]

That's so cool man! 🤘🏻

[@Jeff-fu6qb]

Cool...I grew up in Tampa, Robinson High School... Savatage kicked ass...

[@JohanHaagg]

Totally understand what you meen, but for me its the Gothenburg sound, as that is where I am from. Feels weird that some people you saw in the clubs/pubs and drinking beer with them is now considered pioneers in the genres.

[@omertark1651]

The riffs here are taken from real songs and has been slightly changed, here's the ones I recognize: 0:06 Early Influences -> Possesed - The Exorcist 0:37 Florida Death Metal -> Death - Leprosy 1:27 Swedish Death Metal -> Entombed - Left Hand Path 2:20 Brutal Death Metal -> Probably something from Effigy of the Forgotten album 2:42 Doom Death Metal -> Probably something from Brave Murder Day album 5:16 Techical Death Metal -> Atheist - Unquestionable Presence 5:56 Progressive Death Metal -> Edge of Sanity - Crimson 8:04 Avant Garde Death Metal -> Gorguts - Obscura 9:14 2nd Wave of Technical Death Metal -> Necrophagist - Stabwound Blood Incantation - Slave Species of Gods Amazing video as always!

This video basically features a lot of my favorite bands and death subgenres like the Doom/Death fusion, Melodeath and Deathgrind. Plus, that Edge of Sanity riff was insane man! 🔥🤘🏻

[@norbertrivera]

cassettes and more cassettes that i buy at late 80's -90's .I remember the magazine dedicate to sold by mail cassettes and cds "Metal Disc". still have this collection

[@railsnaker]

Just started getting into Death Metal and this is a beautifully timed video to help me know the history! Thanks so much and rock on 🤘🤘🤘!

[@JelloFluoride]

Have fun my friend!

[@KnownUser139]

Welcome to the family 🤘🏽🔥

[@RoRo-vr6wx]

Try Dying Fetus

[@undersscore6930]

Vader, Nile, and Suffocation are really good

[@jameskpolk9137]

Gojira. They weren’t in the video cause they don’t fit anywhere but they’re the best of the best

[@TheWelhaven]

What I love about death metal is that it has a lot more variation than lets say thrash. My theory is that a big part of it has to do with the vocals. There’s no death metal without growling, but the music can be brutal, fast, jazzy, technical, doomy +++, but thrash is very much defined by the riffs. There are no thrash metal without thrash-riffs, but in thrash the vocals can be both melodic and/or agressive.

[@todtrash7799]

Gotta love how Deathdoom bands either release one album or live long enough to become alt rock (Except for Autopsy and Cyanide)

[@EEvanCh]

6:16 Only few may recognize this masterpiece... OMG, it was such a surprise

[@slenderman2k266]

Can you be kind and tell us the name of the song?

[@Sam-24-09]

I really like that you make so informative videos. How you tell a story with so much individual information and music videos in General. The timeline above the informations is very good as well. Just a great job andrea. I like your videos ( and your song burden) so much. Keep going 🤘

[@nathanpruitt4007]

Fantastic work as always. Death Metal is such an interesting genre to showcase. Well done

[@novaseer]

5:55 i love how you basically mention Dan Swano twice

[@fabril2673]

1989 to 1995 was the golden period for death metal

[@oyc7946]

tbh the current era of death metal is my favorite. With bands like Sanguisugabogg, 200 Stab Wounds, Chthe'ilist, Ulthar, Ascended Dead, Blood Incantation, Creeping Death, Ripped To Shreds, Tomb Mold, Necrot, Vomit Forth, Morbific, Gutvoid, Black Curse. Not to mention the OG bands still going strong and still releasing albums to this day

[@fadianurmahalani528]

Nothingness Slap

[@kadenzook3826]

Don’t forget about Undeath!

[@xSpooKee]

Half of these ain’t even good lmao where’s Limbsplitter (devins other band from sanguisugabogg) Stabbing. Putrefying Cadaverment. Brutalism. Regurgitated Entrails. Vomit Forth. Nemesism (members from Guttural Secrete) Church of Disgust. Mortal Wound. Fleshrot. Seep. Possessed Entity. Fulci. Korpse. Wretched Inferno. Gutless. Impure. Incinerated. Miasmatic Necrosis (more on the goregrind side but still some death influences) I highly recommend all these bands. Only good ones there are Vomit forth and Black Curse. Also not a popular opinion but I take NYDM any day over Florida DM. Suffocation. Internal Bleeding. Entorturement. Repudilation. Afterbirth. Pyrexia. Dehumanized. Morpheus Descend. Brutal Truth. Mortician. Clitorture. Embrionic Death. Cannibal Corpse. Baphomet. Banished. Skinless. Immolation. Malignancy. Winter. Revenace. Imo New York is absolutely peak when it comes to Death Metal

[@CBenz313]

Did I miss mentions of Bolt Thrower, Vader or The Black Dahlia Murder? Awesome guitar playing! 🤘

[@GRAHFMETAL]

As someone who has been listening to Death Metal since the 80s, this was amazing. Death is one of my all-time favorite bands, with Scream Bloody Gore being my favorite Death Metal album, but others referenced that I love are; Deicide, Cryptopsy (who's band members I know personally), Dark Tranquility, Kalmah, Cynic, opeth, Cattle Decapitation, Fallujah and a couple not mentioned that I LOVE are Slugdge and Fulci

[@winterunterseher8937]

[@AndreaBoccarusso]

Hi man! glad to see you here. I hope everything's going wonderfully ^^

[@ytflix776]

For my high school buddies and I, Death, Cynic Napalm Death and Carcass were absolute staples. Once we discovered Focus, our grades went up through the roof and then onto John Coltrane, Pat Metheny, Mahavishnu Orchestra and all that grindcore of its time. Listen to Meeting of The Spirits by MO, or One Word. Just headbanging and mindblowing energy! That's what Paul Masvidal and Sean Reinert dug, and of course they brought galaxy-brain to Chuck and Death around Human time. Good times. [circa 2005 when we discovered it all]

[@moomoojoos8849]

Bro my dad literally showed me inner mounting flame for the first time last week, and I have been hooked! Not many people know about mahavishnu orchestra, so that's pretty cool! Jazz fusion is my jam

[@lamesicutite]

[@davidstrasak]

That is awesome! Thanks for all the new bands I will start listening to :D

[@jordanaut]

Great video man! My favourites are probably Progressive Death Metal, Death/Doom and Avant-Garde Death Metal, but I love a lot of Technical Death Metal too. Only thing that would’ve maybe made this video EVEN better is some examples of the vocals used in each sub-genre. But other than that great stuff, love your videos

[@broncoxy]

Great video, amazing as always! Especially like the riff at 6:17, catchy af ^^

[@novaseer]

Listen to Crimson by Edge of Sanity. That riff's basically lifted from there. It's a long one, but you'll thank me later. Best metal song ever made IMO.

[@shadowcrimson6232]

Man you need to turn that Melodic Death Metal song into a full version, it's amazing

[@borismatesin]

This right here. That third melodeath riff with the counterpoint bassline is top stuff.

[@joachimtesdal5998]

just love this infovideos. i think I know metal but then you prove me wrong. so much more to learn, discover, listen to, and enjoy. Thank you!!

[@TheHeadown]

Awesome video! Love most death metal, but I´m happy to see an old favorite in "Edge of Sanity" (Dan Swanö) listed as a reference.

[@brucenatelee]

I always defined technical death as death metal with more complexity and progressive death metal as progressive metal with death metal features. Dean Lamb is in Archspire (tech death) and Claire Lamb was in Hallowed Catharsis (prog death).

[@Dante28tim]

Thanks!

[@TheMork]

Amazing work as always Andrea - I particularly liked your prog song!

[@mercilessoverlord1330]

It's so nice to see Beyond Creation mentionned in the second wave of Technical Death! Great band from Quebec City (3 hours from my home )

[@Goose21]

Theres something in the water up in that French part of Canada. Lot of good tech death like Martyr from there

[@encompassthyeclipse7278]

My stink face got progressively more stinky throughout this video. Good playing man. I especially liked the necrophagist influences and similar riffs, love what you did there

[@Alex_Gid]

Wow, the picture is so cool and aesthetic, like it! Sound is great as well, I've never thought there were so many black metal subgenres, thank you!

[@BluntObject89]

Thank you for this video friend.

[@DropB]

There are two variations of death/doom, IMO. The one, more gothic metal, that you covered and. And a much, much more murky style with bands like Winter, Disembowelment, Runemagick, Hooded Menace, etc. I would say that this style is also closely related to "Findeath". I would argue, that some of heaviest bands ever play this style.

[@shawntrevordaniel]

The one I've been waiting for!

[@TheBoondoggler]

Um...Arthur Brown, Alice Cooper, Mercyful Fate, Venom, Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Impaler, Impetigo, Goblin, et al...so many other nascent and influential early acts that led the wave? Even early Maiden had a hand in the dynamic....

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

I like these videos. I watched Slayer riffs thousand times. I am sure I'll watch this video again.

[@MetalxMasters]

This was a rather fun video to watch. Keep killing, man! 😁

[@mrcleglaw256]

✅florida death metal ✅progressive death metal ✅old school death metal ✅second wave of technical death metal these sub genres are gold. enough to fall in love with the genre. death, cynic, opeth, dan swano, edge of sanity(crimson albums), bloodbath, necrophagist! listen to them and you cant go back.

[@thierryaegerter8156]

I‘m quite new to death metal and there sadly isn‘t really a metal community where i live, so videos like these help me out a lot! If there are any metalheads reading this and want to help a young blood, please anwer me these questions: I want to get more into the Genre but a lot of recommondations fall kinda flat… I mainly listen to Deaths Human, ITP and Symbolic (SoP and the earlier stuff also but not that much) Surgical Steel and Heartwork by Carcass, At The Gates, Creeping Death. I also loved God‘s Country by CP, EA by Phobophilic, „mainstream“ Immortal stuff, etc… I‘ve been recommended stuff like Obscura, Rivers of Nihil, Beyond Creation, etc. Some of it was good but it mostly misses the mark. A lot of it seemed „technical“ just for the sake of it and pretenciously „proggy“ or trying too hard to be something they‘re not. I still have to get settled in the Genre so maybe i just don‘t get it? What am i missing? Maybe you guys can tell me about some of the Bands featured in the video or something else that i could try? Sorry for the long rant. I just don‘t really know where to go with my questions…
