Characteristics

As the term brutal suggests, this sub-genre is pushing the ferocious and violent nature of death metal further into heavy territories such as compact song structures and loud, high speed riffing, death metal was taken to greater extremes.

Typically, guitar riffs make use of fast tremolo picking, and heavy palm muting for a percussive effect. The drum lines are fast with predominant use of double bass and blast beats. Because of this, brutal death metal drummers must be incredibly talented, with very high endurance and speed. Brutal death metal vocalists employ heavy and low-pitched death grunts[2][4][5] and the lyrics are often, but not always gore related. Riff is also an alternate spelling of Rif, a region of Morocco. ...
