None of them are really ever musically amazing, but FUCK being amazing, this is about primitive, catchy death metal with a focus on simplicity and.well, GROOVE.

Slam death is fucking GENERIC as fuck, I can admit that (and I am probably the biggest proprietor of it here), but, on the other hand, it's intensely fun and all of the bands playing it are very passionate and serious about making groovy, breakdown-y death metal, so you can't knock 'em. Where I live is not a city rather a town, but say albany and troy are city's so these people have a street/city life that reflects in any forms of heavy music. You have some wiggers that like hardcore and the 'streets' but like the speed of say death metal and breakdowns(slam dance) of hardcore music. When you get around 2 hours from here closer to other places in upstate new york all local bands are punk/hardcore or hardcorish death metal. I live in lake placid new york(originally from connecticut) and this place is very different from say new york city and we have no metal scene. By these early new york bands I do not mean Immolation who do not share similiar traits to the rest of the scene. The Texas death metal scene seems to really be infleunced by the new york scene also. Oldschool euro death metal and florida death metal seemed to die in the early 90's and this 'slam dance' seems to be a newer take off the early hardcore influenced death metal of new york city(also long island) in the now. It's death metal but does not really share real traits or oldschool influences.

Slam Death Metal seems to be more a new york city or american trait.

Slam Death Metal is influenced by internal bleeding,baphomet, and suffocation and hardcore.
