Japanese Death Metal is a subgenre of extreme metal music that originated in Japan in the late 1980s. It is characterized by its fast tempos, aggressive guitar riffs, and harsh vocals. The lyrics often focus on themes of death, violence, and the occult. The genre has been heavily influenced by Western death metal bands such as Death, Morbid Angel, and Cannibal Corpse. It has also been influenced by traditional Japanese music, such as folk and traditional instruments. Japanese Death Metal bands often incorporate traditional Japanese instruments into their music, such as the shamisen, koto, and taiko drums.
