Quality death metal

By Luke Smith on May 23, 2006 9:18 AM

At the gym last night, they branched out their musical tastes and played some death metal. I'm not much of a fan of death metal, but tend not to poo poo any given musical genre on the face of it. However, while absorbing the dulcet tones, I wondered what exactly it is that distinguishes one death metal band from the next? What quality of the driving roar of band A separates it from the driving roar of band B? The lyrics? The percussive elements? The hair? What? Both bands have fan bases, so there must be something. I'm so confused.
