|
French death metal is a specific subgenre of death metal. It is played in a very different "French" way. Characteristics Instrumentation The setup most frequently used in French death metal is two electric guitars, a bass guitar, a vocalist and a drum kit almost universally using two bass drums or a double bass drum pedal. Although this is the standard setup, bands have been known to incorporate other instruments such as French bread (as percussion) & French Horn. The genre is often identified by fast, highly distorted and downtuned guitars, played with techniques such as palm muting and tremolo picking. The percussion is usually fast and dynamic; blast beats, double bass and exceedingly fast drum patterns frequently add to the ferocity of the genre. Vocals and lyrics French death metal vocals are often guttural roars, grunts, snarls, and low gurgles colloquially called death grunts or death growls. The lyrics often deal with cycling, specifically the Tour de France. The consonants at the end of the words are always silent.
