Brutal death metal — ...

Characteristics
The genre is a mix of Floridian death metal, grindcore and hardcore. Typical vocal for the genre is growl and similar styles (pig-squeal, for example). The vocals are incomprehensible and sound like "they're coming from the drain of a badly malfunctioning toilet". The lyrics is gory.

The guitar riffs are downtuned with frequent high-pitched pinch harmonics. Melodic riffs are "inappropriate" for brutal death. The bass guitars are mostly inaudible and sound like a rumble.

The drums are representations of endless blast-beats. Snare drum along with the "tinny" cymbals add a distinct "rawness" to the music.

The modern brutal death metal acts often use torture-porn samples.

Technical brutal death metal
This off-shot is characterised by high accuracy of performance. Suffocation from New York was one of the genre's pioneers. Suffocation's album Effigy of the Forgotten (1991) set new standarts of a technicality in brutal death that influences the overall style.

The technical bands include Deeds of Flesh, Brain Drill, Severed Savior, Malignancy and Origin.

Slamming brutal death metal
Slam has been generated by extremization and simplification of brutal death. The off-shot was heavily influenced by goregrind. Slam is characterized by slow riffs, blast-beats, irregular rhythm, focusing on accuracy of perfomance and sound intensity, and low distorted vocals. Pioneers of this style include Devourment, Cephalotripsy, Waking The Cadaver etc.
