For some reason after I buy a best-of Motorhead CD from Amazon they keep recommending me albums from Deathmetal groups. Slayer is probably the most well-known but also bands like Gorgoroth, Immortal, and Cannibal Corpse.
I've listened to a few tracks but I just don't get it. The drummer doesn't seem to play in time with anyone else, the lead guitar I think is playing a differant song, and the front man must scream the lyrics in an annoying high-pitched whine like a little girl, or grunt like the Cookie Monster ( 'C' is for cookie, its good enough for me! *drumsdrumsdrumsdrums*).
Am I missing the point or what? Is there some secret to appreciating or listening to deathmetal in the appropriate context? How exactly can you even tell the songs apart? Or am I just way too old for this kinf of music ? (I'm 25)
