wall of death

An event that happens at heavy metal gigs. Basicall before a particully heavy song (or even during a song before a heavy part) the croud will be split up:1)either into a big circle with nobody in the centre2) or into two colums with an approximately 10 metre gap in the middle then when the heavy part starts(usually promted by a count down) the cround run at each other.The most popular wall of death songs are "black label" and Laid to rest" by lamb of god



wall of death
Form of moshing most well known through Lamb of God's "Black Label". At a concert the lead vocalist of a metal band instructs the crowd that they are doing the wall of death. The crowd then divides in half...each half made up of aggresive fans ready to tear eachother apart. When the considerably heavier or heaviest part of the song kicks in, the two halves of the crowd rush one another. As you might imagine, two walls of aggressive people colliding results in serious injury and sometimes death. For this reason, many bands have been sued for calling the wall of death, so modern walls of death are formed not due to instruction, but through serious fans who know what to do when the song in question is played. This is a mosh meant to be done a metal shows...not a hardcore dance. A wall of death at an emo/hXc show is not a true wall of death.
Example:
Black Label begins.
Crowd divides.
Musical tension hightens.
40 seconds in, Randy screams.
The wall of death begins.
Everybody screams.
Bodies surge together.
Bodies fall together.


wall of death
an insanely awesome forom of moshing that leaves you with more than just bruises. cuts, scrapes, gaping holes, bloody noses. usually performed during a heavy/metal song, the entire crowd splits into two huge groups, on either side of the floor, then, typically started with a countdown, the two groups run at each other as fast as they can and start beating the shit out of each other at all costs (moshing). more recently than slayer and lamb of god, performed during shows by hardcore/emo bands such as blessthefall and escape the fate.
Example:
"dude the wall of death at the btf concert left me with a bloody nose!"
"yeah, but it was totally worth it!"


wall of death
When the mosh pit splits in half and runs at each other at a certain point in the music. A good song to use is Duality by Slipknot.

Usually followed by much moshing

Joining a wall of death is very scary, but one tip, is to take a deep breath before running, and look at the wall of people in front of you and decide on who you're going to run at.

It's a huge adrenaline rush.
Example:
Harry: Dude, wanna go join the wall of death?
Sally: Nah, I got a bruised eye moshing with those huge guys earlier. I'm out for the rest of the night.


Wall of Death
Contrary to what the other definitions state, the term 'Wall of death' originated in the hardcore punk community of the early 80s. It was a natural outgrowth of the mosh pit, when people wanted to break into the pit they would form a line and literally rush the pit, becoming part of it.

It became extremely popular, as did slam dancing and other forms of punk dancing, in the mainstream a few years after it started. This is true for most things punk and true metal did.

One of the clearest examples of this was performed by a crust punk band with a cult following for the late 90s and early 2000s called R.A.M.B.O. where they would encourage the crowd to dress up as either protestors or cops and stage a mock riot. The two sides would form up and then 'wall o death!' each other.

So, sorry children, Lamb of God did not originate this.
Example:
The anarcho-crust band R.A.M.B.O. put out a record called Wall of Death the System in the year 2001. The song lyrics include:

See the cops ahead,
link arms!
March in unison,
now charge!

WALL OF DEATH THE SYSTEM!!!

A MOSHTROCITY!


Wall of death
A massive crowd splits in two at opposite sides of a field. This is usually done at a heavy metal concert. When the music kicks in and the lead singer says so, the two groups run into one another and mosh hardcore.
Example:
Lamb of god get the fans to do the wall of death when playing black label (one of there songs). the lead singer counts to 4 and they hit it.

1....2....3....4....GOOOOOOOOO!!


Wall of Death
Some time During the late 90s and early 2000s the famous metal band Lamb of Gods fans would traditionally form 2 walls facing each other, lower thier heads and charge straight into each other, carnage ensuing...they only did this during a certain song...which i cant recall at this moment the name of it at this moment.Long story short 8 people died, and the wall of death was forever banned in the USA
Example:
Oh John wasnt that wall of death so sweet last night?...John? JOHN? OH MY GOD JOHN!!!


Wall of death
Contrary to what some of these other definitions of the "Wall of Death" it was a ritual that began in hardcore mosh-pits circa 1986. To be a little more precise it began at City Gardens in Trenton NJ.

And despite what it evolved into originally it was NOT two sides of the pit rushing at each other. When we first started doing it we'd back up in a semi-circle towards the back of the room then rush the stage and in the ensuing crush and rush of bodies comepletely wipe out any dumb-asses that A: had no clue what was going on. And B: wipe out (usually the same dumb-asses mentioned above) anybody that had no business being at a hardcore show back in those days.
Just from somebody that was there when and where it began.
Example:
Dumb-ass got crushed in the wall of death at an Agnostic Front show.
