This is a place for news, reviews, videos and discussion of your favorite death metal bands.

Allowed: Death metal song posts, news, interviews, interesting videos, discussion, reviews, and anything else related to death metal. You can self promote, but ONLY if you've participated in our community before. Follow the sitewide rules on spamming and self promotion. Bans will be handed out for those who only use the sub to self promote.

Not allowed: Not death metal (deathcore goes in /r/deathcore, melodeath goes in /r/melodicdeathmetal, grindcore goes in /r/grindkvlt, etc), image posts, shitposting, memes, song teasers, short album teasers. No low effort polls or beginner recommendation threads. Personal song covers/bedroom covers go in other subreddits, as do questions about guitars, amps, drums, etc; this isn't /r/metalmusicians. Homophobic & racist slurs are not permitted. Links to illegal downloads of albums is an instant ban. If you post a stupid homemade cover of a TV show or movie theme, you will be banned. Technical death metal goes in /r/technicaldeathmetal, progressive death metal goes in /r/progdeathmetal or /r/progmetal, and brutal death metal goes in /r/brutaldeathmetal or /r/slammetal. Merch/media sales go in /r/metaltrade.

Please don't post songs with stupid titles; Artist - Song Name is great, thank you.

The Mausoleum

Bands over 150,000 Last FM listeners are not allowed to be posted unless you're posting a new release (limit one week from the song/album dropping). Covers of these bands are also not allowed.

Do not post a song that's been posted within the last six months or a band that's been posted within the last two weeks; new releases are exempt from the two week rule for fourteen days after the release drops, but not from the six month one.
