User:Mezmerizer/Brutal Death Metal

Brutal death metal is a more aggressive subgenre of death metal that incorporates traits from grindcore. The guitar riffs are usually very fast and low-pitched with pinched harmonics, but sometimes, slower, chunkier riffs are used instead. When guitar solos are used, they are used with large amounts of tremolo picking and pinched harmonics, as well as diverse arpeggios. The death grunts are often pitchshifted to create a "gurgly" sound, and the lyrics mostly deal with or are related to gore. Brutal death metal is seen by many as the "heaviest" musical genre.

Vs. Technical Death Metal
There is crossover between brutal death metal and technical death metal, as both are very heavy and both are subgenres of death metal. But technical death metal is focused more on technicality than brutal death metal is.

Vs. Slam Death Metal
There is also crossover between brutal death metal and slam death metal. But slam death metal is focused more on groove and metalcore-styled breakdowns than brutal death metal. Also, while slam death metal isnt as fast or as complex as brutal death metal is, it has a lower register.
