 | | One of the more extreme forms of metal, death metal is basically an offshoot of thrash, with less melodic riffs and a low, growly, often almost unintelligible vocal style that at its best (or worst, depending on one's point of view) has been described as "cookie monster vocals". |
 | | The early nineties saw the initial rise of death metal in places such as Florida (Death, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Obituary, and others) and Sweden (At The Gates, Entombed, and others), and remains a dominant form of extreme metal to this day. |
 | | Black Sabbath are, of course, the fathers of metal in general, but their early work concentrated on slow riffing and thus is the primary influence on doom metal bands. |
