Best 100 brutal death metal releases

Brutal death metal is a subgenre of death metal music that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its aggressive, often technical, and highly distorted sound, with deep growling vocals, complex drumming, and fast, intricate guitar riffs.

The lyrics in brutal death metal often deal with themes of violence, gore, and death, and can be quite graphic in nature. The music typically features a low-tuned, heavily distorted guitar sound, with fast tremolo picking and palm-muted riffs. Blast beats and double bass drumming are common in the drumming style, adding to the intense and relentless sound of the music.

Brutal death metal is often associated with extreme metal subcultures and has a devoted fan base, particularly in underground music scenes. Some notable brutal death metal bands include Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Dying Fetus, and Nile.
