For me, death metal is like...black coffee.

Bitter at first, but eventually you learn to appreciate the unique experience for what it is, and then you start drinking it all the time.

You start trying to tell others about your experience, but only other black coffee drinkers seem to understand, and you sound insane to people who have tried black coffee and hated the bitter taste.

Very apt. I'm a black coffee drinker myself, and I love death metal. Maybe there's a correlation.

I used to enjoy some, but found the genre to be a dead end, with new bands just sounding like old bands. I’d love to hear it if there’s innovation going on!
