Ah, thats what I was thinking. I figured if you were gonna seperate deathgrind and melodeath than blackened death metal...

Just politics at that point.

Black Dahlia Murder are about as br00tal you can get. Much more than those Slayer or Morbid Angel pussies.

You see, you shouldn't argue with me on these things. My vast knowledge of death metal stretches from Metallica to the really br00tal stuff like Suicide Silence. However, I'm very open minded, so I play some Blink-182 and Miley Cyrus to balance it out.

Being serial for a moment, I think it's perfectly all right to count the melodic death metal as "death metal in RB". If I remember correctly, At the Gates was the first proper "death metal" song we got in RB, but again, only if you count melodic.

Conquer All is not blackened death metal (there is only a tiny black metal influence left, as seen in the melody of the song), Behemoth stopped playing blackened death metal by the time they released Demigod. This is their blackened death metal work.

I know you're being sarcastic, but deathcore is a lot more "brutal" than most death metal. That still doesn't make it death metal though.

I'd rather not count it, for it is a bit unjust when people expect people wanting death metal to be satisfied with some pseudo death metal. It's like expecting people wanting black metal to be satisfied with Dimmu Borgir, or people wanting prog to be satisfied with Dream Theater.

I've always thought "brutal" in regards to music is extremely bastardized, though. If anything, I would think "brutalness" would lie in the lyrics.

[dabears116]

No "brutalness" lies in the speed (sans doom and sludge), harshness of the vocals, heaviness of the riffs (sans black metal), and dark atmosphere, lyrics have nothing to do with it, it's all in the sound.

I was only referring to the traditional meaning of "brutal", not meaning to suggest that's what it refers to in terms of music.
