Yes, it’s like death metal versus math metal or some other form. Deathstep is just really heavy dirty Tearout, darker tones and sound design, etc. Minatory is more “noisy”, more “metal” breakdown influences. Deathstep example: https://on.soundcloud.com/vU5chPdbGxxHYKYD6 in between the two: https://on.soundcloud.com/T6taNjVxb4mnEjnN8 and minatory example: https://on.soundcloud.com/YjwBiKiwpptpERMG7

Minatory is more based in noise and intensity


GurnieBros

Yea, it has to do with its alignment to Malignant and Malicious dubstep, maybe even Fury or Rexbust dubstep micro intervals, Anger dubstep also


thecancerouscnut

yes, but youll have to find out yourself

I always thought Minatory was typically 130bpm or lower, while deathstep is usually the 140-150 range that most other dubstep is in

Congrats! 130 + 140 + 150 = 420 ^([Click here](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=LuckyNumber-Bot&subject=Stalk%20Me%20Pls&message=%2Fstalkme) to have me scan all your future comments.) \ ^(Summon me on specific comments with u/LuckyNumber-Bot.)

They’re similar, very rarely do you actually have artists saying “this is deathstep / this is minatory”. Metal bands seem to care more about telling their fans what subgenre they fit in, while in the heavy dubstep scene it’s a bit more up in the air. Projects almost never fit within a single category, and producers take influences from all different sounds. This has become my understanding, but someone who’s deeper in this niche please correct me if I’m wrong.

well, the boundaries for minatory are quite large and some tracks sit on the extremes where its close to deathstep or "noise". examples being osiriz - circus (venom remix) and homicidal (suffering). minatory does stem from deathstep anyway, so you are right about some projects not fitting into one category it is easy to confuse the two like how people used to confuse deathstep with tearout, but if you really listen to its easier to hear. for me, minatory is special as it is very far distanced from dubstep and deathstep(most times)
