Where SLAM Came From | DYING FETUS

death metal riffing and heavy slam was that like a conscious like this is what like I want to do yeah yeah I mean I started picking up on bands I started realizing the slower stuff kind of had more impact you know and um yeah I'm trying to think of exactly where you know it I want to say maybe seura man like you know some of that on a rise and um I was a heavy fan of them you know so you know they started kind of doing that stuff really if you think about it arise and and especially they that you know just couple parts where just everything stopped the guitar started doing its thing and then the kick drums started you know building and this and that and so I guess it was kind of them man you know like of course I'm trying to think of Hardcore like when I started listening to that and when you know some of that '90s hardcore kind of um inspired me and and and the death metal bands I played and and um New York like internal bleeding and [ __ ] pyrexia and if you think about uh s so they were they were a big influence I always forget to mention them s so had a large impact on me mar you know that just just that yeah [ __ ] March of s so and they oh [ __ ] they were doing M Rhythm that was back in ' 85 so you had that you know and I was like who I love that so d you know and some it was them right you know you got it you got to give it to those guys you know they really think we both play that in sound the way but um March yeah we both do it in sound check so it's kind of that and then you know seeing stuff like inve malmstein and all this all people like shred so let's take that Groove and that shred and kind of combine and there were bands like s Corner they're kind of doing this and um you know all kinds of thrash bands um that would have kind of like breakdown like this Band Called Death Row from from Germany this song called scattered by the wind had a you know or even like you know mega death um I love that riff whatever song that is is that wake up dead so you know I just like oh that works these slower kind of riffs and crunch kind of style and then put it in a death metal and that's just kind of how it came to be I guess you know so really combine different elements of like heavy not not you're not going this is death metal this is it like I'll take you know sod Mega Death seator Groove even King Diamond on I think it's sleepless nights on conspiracy album he actually has some breakdown Parts in there I I kind of yeah if you listen to sleepless nights you know breaks it down um there's a couple of those songs and so I think you know I think maybe even some of the death Mel bands got inspired from that you know so but yeah what what were like some early 90s uh late ' 80s hardcore cuz it really sounds I lik Agnostic Front Of course that was like the first band from Hardcore and then like mad ball and 25 the life I have to say they had some of the best riffs you know back then yeah you know and um who else [ __ ] I don't know yeah but that whole uh New York hardcore scene was kind of doing that groove thing as well you know there's a band called Next Step up there from Baltimore doing it just kind of crunch riffs and you know so just picked up you know I was always watching going seeing bands and yeah it's like that works you see the crowd moving that's what it was you know you see oh they're they're going slow and that's when the crowd would start really punishing each other and that's oh Eureka there it is that's what you do let's you know so so so you'll drive slow it down make it heavy you know wow so so you'll like drive for 49 minutes an hour up to Baltimore see some you know local hardcore bands maybe and see like oh wait people are moving towards this kind of pro you know yeah yeah it's it so that was just it you know when bands were doing it like I said internal bleeding you know I can't say we invented anything we just kind of emulated things and MH did it our own way that's that's all you know
