Other types of death metal
- Melodic death metal, sometimes called melodeath – is slower and features screams instead of growls. It also has much more melody and clean vocals can even sometimes be heard.
- Technical death metal, or progressive death metal – is a much more complex type of death metal. These songs usually are longer and have unique song structures. These bands pretty much combine progressive rock and jazz with death metal.
- Death-doom – combines the dark atmosphere and slow tempos with growling vocals and double-kick drumming.
- Goregrind, deathgrind and pornogrind[1] – mixes the intensity of Grindcore with the complexity of death metal. Guitar solos are usually rare, and vocalists usually scream instead of growl. Also, the songs are usually shorter.
- Blackened death metal – is a style that combines death metal with black metal.[2][3]
