Death metal should never have bounce or groove. Morbo says: "YOU'RE DOING DEATH METAL WRONG! BLEARGH!"

Depends what type of death metal. If it's melodic death then it very likely has some groove elements somewhere.

A melody isn't something you groove to. It's something you enjoy as part of the art. If you can "dance" to it in any way other then punching someone in the face, the word "death" should in no way be in the genre's name. If there is grooveability, then it's Groove Metal... And then, is it really metal? And not just some guy yelling to disco?

Pantera are groove metal.

Whoah now, don't be so hasty, there. The Japanese band Maximum the Hormone have some pretty bouncy songs, and the vocals are still fantastic.

I gotta say lately ive been listening to some epic metal by the band Blind Guardian, which was actually suggested to me by a member of this very forum, its alot like dragonforce with less focus on guitar and more focus on vocals (not to say the guitar isn't good), but above all i love the strong song composition.

What i meant by groove was the kind of rhythm that hugely encourages headbanging. Like this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYIj7eDz8X0
A lot of the riffs in that are very groove based, and you can't say it's not metal.

 

[Chekov]

Rock and Roll is better.

I'd agree, but I can enjoy some metal

I'm not a huge fan, but I have to admit, the instrumental work is pretty great. However, I do feel, generally, that metat is weaker lyrically than other forms of music.

I agree with you both. Don't know what else to say!

 

[KyleTheAngry]

(Does Alice in Chains count? ...they were metal-y)

Dream Theater, Megadeth, Metallica, Pantera, Maiden...basically any band that's been around for a while...

I've got a lot of respect for bands who can be heavy without tuning their guitars down several tones (that said i'm not anti downtuning).

I do however think growling is overused. I'd rather a James LaBrie, Bruce Dickinson or Layne Staley anyday.

There is nothing Disco about Soulless.

How dare he, may he die in a fire, excluding DT!

Damn, apologies for the double post.

 

[Rusty Bucket]

Why do people like dream theater so much? I really don't understand. Some of the guitar's pretty damn good, i admit, but that's it.
