Death metal vs Black metal?

Okay, i already posted another similar music thread, but can someone explain the differences in sound between death metal and black metal? I know black metal is from a different part of the world and it's often Satanic. But in terms of sound i think black metal sounds pretty much like fast death metal with higher screams as against death growls...

This is the part where I come in and express my dislike for metal, which makes you ask me why I even clicked on the topic in the first place if I don't like metal, and then I respond with an "lol" or some other witty masterpiece.TheHimura

You have achieved:

You checked wiki? And you did point out differanced in OP y'kno ;D

Both pretty terrible in my opinion but I guess I'll have to go with Death Metal only because I like Deathcore and its closer to death metal then black metal.xTheExploited

i could be wrong on this, but i think black metal is usually faster, sounds sloppier (to me, anyways), and ..... raw..er? idk, i don't have a wide knowledge of what makes the genres different from each other.

Death.. because of symphonic death... aside from that I don't really like either.

There's a difference? :oauron_16

Traditional pretty much has nothing to set the bands apart from each other, and their vocals just suck.. Slam as great vocals, interesting riffs, and slams.

Somewhat, but mostly bands like Devourment.

black metal because it uses more synth, and is closer to Gothic metal.

Death Metal is low, gutteral growls and technical and complex riffs. Black Metal is simpler riffs (but still fast) and higher shrieking vocals.

IMO Death Metal>Black Metal, but both are awwwwwwwesome. \m/

Black Metal because the only band that I like out of the 2 of those genres is Mercyful Fate and they're closer to Black Metal.

Death Metal is generally heavier sounding than black metal and in lower tunings. Contrary to what people may tell you, Black Metal isn't necessarily faster. Listen to Nile, Necrophagist, Cannibal Corpse, Origin, Dying Fetus and Beneath the Massacre and you'll see what I mean. The prominent vocal style in death metal is the death grunt. And Death Metal tends to be more technical with its complex song structures and tempo changes.

Black Metal uses a lot of distortion in favor of creating a raw atmosphere to it and is usually in a higher tuning. Tremolo picking is in use more often than in Death Metal. The music can be very fast. So blast beats and double bass are used. Screams/shrieks are the common vocal style. It can be very dissonant and repetitive at times. Then again this all depends on what type of black metal you are listening to.

Both genres have evolved so much since their beginnings that it's hard to pinpoint the exact differences without listing all the characteristics of their sub-genres as well.

Peh. They both have horrible vocals, if I'm not mistaking them for some other sub-genre.PannicAtack

I think you're mistaken:P.

I'd say there is a huge difference.

Honestly, I don't like either.

more like how would you like to die burned alive or body slowly ripped apart. both are horribly painful/ metal sucks beyond belief.

Some People here already described its style and sound perfectly...

I'm a fan of both. Its good for my ears. Lovely...
