Are death metal, grindcore, and thrash metal rhythm-based

Nah, it's just a bunch of people playing as fast as they can while screaming, grunting, or squealing.

they don't have to be.

Some isn't, though a lot of it is.

Wow, so hardcore!

>>69327040
A lot of death metal and grind core is, well early canibal corpse or deicide or napalm death
I suppose thrash is quite a lot too, really making me think

>>69327436
I feel like thrash is definitely rhythm-based, even more than grind or death. It basically revolves around the rhythmic dynamic of the guitar, bass and drums. Best example I can think of is Blackened.

>slow it down 50%
>play it in a reasonable tuning with less distortion

there's your answer. and, i think you'll find, it's a no. but then again, grindcore is basically edgy hardcore punk, so the question itself is moot

All of them are rhythm-based, unless they're free-form fusion

Metal is an extension of rock music so yes it is rhythm-based. The genres you listed are no exception. Do you like metal?

>but then again, grindcore is [insert opinion here], so the question itself is moot [refer back to opinion for proof]
nice logic you loser. how does this make the question moot?
>>69327659
>Do you like metal?
Yes, do you?

>>69327643
Good point

>>69327224
>meaningless buzzwords: the post

>>69327711
I do like metal. If death metal interests you then check out Decapitated, they're easily the best band in the genre.

>>69327711
it's not opinion, it's history. and the history of the genre is literally rejecting rock conventions

>>69327758
Thank you for the recommendation, honestly I love the other two genres I listed a lot but I've been trying to get into death metal for years and I've only been able to find a few bands that I really enjoy. Mainly Autopsy, Cryptopsy, Death, and the DM Carcass albums.

>>69327771
What the fuck are you talking about? The statement "grindcore is basically edgy hardcore punk" literally means nothing at all. You stuck a buzzword in there and expected me to take it seriously.

>>69327812
Good to hear, and not a bad starter selection at all. Glad Morbid Angel aren't in there because they're overrated to shit.

Start with Winds of Creation. Seminal album from some super-youngsters (all 20 or younger) that saved the genre from a fate of irrelevance.

>>69327874
Sounds good, I added it to my library. Probably listen to it tonight while I stay up until 3 AM doing schoolwork.

I guess my issue with death metal is that I could never really get into the rhythm of it. Autopsy is a good example of something I immediately latched onto because I feel like it has some hardcore punk sensibilities in terms of driving rhythm and riffs. Could never really get down with the double-bass for whatever reason, I'm really not sure why. Always had more of an affinity for grind and thrash and I assume that has something to do with the hardcore punk influence, even though I'm really not into hardcore punk at all. Why do you think this is?

>>69327946
If you're down with grind I don't know why you aren't down with death. Grind is basically speed-death, they have literally the same motifs in every department.

>>69328002
The speed is what gives me the adrenaline rush and feeling of being powerful though, and that's what I'm looking for when I listen to death, grind, and thrash. I'm a big black metal fan too and I guess I can appreciate that better because it's so different from the genres I mentioned previously. Maybe I just gotta come at death metal from a different angle, I dunno.

>>69328069
Yeah, a different angle sounds like a good way. I've re-discovered tons of music that I used to hate back in the day when I just offloaded all the shit I hot onto my ipod and then relistened to it years later.

However, I promise you Decapitated will keep your attention. They're exemplary.
