Death metal is hilarious. It's usually a bunch of doughy nerds dressed up as Oakland Raiders fans singing about the darkness of hellspawn's minions and consumed souls of the damned. But apparently in China they do it a bit differently. Instead of overweight guys, they use slender female lead singers who sound like a cross between Oscar the Grouch and an electric can opener. I'm not sure how she got her voice to do that, but I'd like to see if her speaking voice sounds like she's taking your order at a fast food drive-thru.
I tried to find the lyrics to this song, but apparently China doesn't let their death metal bands access the Internet. But after a few listens, I think I have them figured out. It seems that Chinese death metal lyrics are slightly different than American death metal lyrics. See if you can pick up on the subtle cultural differences.
Rotting flesh of putrid decay
Rise from the grave to walk the earth again
The artificially overvalued Yuan keeps Chinese exports inexpensive
Deceased children screaming and bloodied
Their skin is ripped, open and oozing
American producers could only sell $22 billion in exports
While Chinese producers sent $125 billion of imports to America
A 5-1 advantage for Beijing
I now bleed pus
I really wish a new hand-sign thing would to replace the thing where only your pointer and pinky finger are raised. It's so overdone. But ya, black metal is kind of funny. I've heard song titles like "Black Mephisto Maelstrom" and stuff... kind of creepy.
But there is this one Danish black metal band called Dimmu Borgir and they have these three songs that I listen to: "Fear & Wonder", "Perfection or Vanity", and "Sorgens Kammer". They're relativaly calm orchestrated pieces that isn't all super-duper-screamo and overly dark. Go Amazon/Limewire/torrent those three songs and you'll see what I mean.
Jesus. OK, I changed it from black metal to death metal. Is everyone happy now? Can we please go back to singing about rotting flesh and cumming blood?
Yo pratik, let me enlighten you. Dimmu Borgir is a NORWEGIAN balck metal band, they're pretty dark, too bad you cant read norwegian because some of their songs encourages satanics to go out slaughter christians.... not too bad right,,,

I was thinking more of the Cookie Monster with something shoved in his ass. Horrible either way.

This is death metal, and the vocal style is typical.

Absolutely not Black Metal. You really just don't know what you are talking about.

Uhhhh, you needed to find a band in China that had a female Death Metal singer? Look up Arch Enemy. There is many more out there.

Russell Carrier, less doughyness and less nerdiness. Please.

Not anything but powermetal with bright growls on the top.
For actual DEATH METAL please follow these links;
Morbid Angel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz80M3aVyjY
Suffocation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzRRMWz73qQ&feature=related listen to what he says. That is what MUSIC is about.
Deicide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k-S_oiFIoc
Demilich http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q5kRx1Q6m4 This one is a little bit odd, not many know of this band.
Now I've said what I wanted.

Dimmu Borgir is pretty tame as far as black metal goes. Listen to something by Darkthrone and you'll see what I mean.
