Beginner’s Guide to Death Metal lyrics

Beginner’s Guide to Death MetalIntroductionDISCLAIMER: This page contains and is based upon my own opinions and experiences with death metal. Everyone's got their own opinions when it comes to music (especially metalheads), but I've tried to remain as accurate and honest as possible while writing this. That being said, there are some bands that I don't listen to (such as Deicide, Morbid Angel, etc.) due to their lyrical content. I'll still discuss them if they're relevant, but I can't write suggestions or recommendations about them simply because I don't listen to them.

If you have any suggestions, questions, critiques, etc., feel free to leave them in a comment on this page.

Also, quick note: when I list “recommended” songs or albums, it doesn’t necessarily mean my favorite or “the best;” it’s just the songs or albums that I feel are most relevant to the topic. If I have favorite songs or albums by a certain artist, I’ll be sure to list them separately.Death Metal: A (Brief) History LessonNot into rock or metal?
