Found this link earlier in which someone is describing "death country" as this; "Deathcountry is a sub-genre of country music, particularly alternative country. It is best described as being traditional country music with a morbid anarchist punk rock and psychobilly attitude."
Kinda funny to be honest, in the sense of that whatever happened to a song just being a song telling a story. Why does every single thing have to be categorized and labeled under a microscope and as if its a new species. I get the idea for sure, but why can't a song or an artist just be themselves without categorization? Is Homer's Illiad now considered a sci-fi adventure tale or is Trent Reznor outlaw country since Johnny Cash covered Hurt? Does this mean Joe Buck Yourself's song "Devil Is On His Way" is Death Country? Looks like "country" is going the way of metal where it's sub genre after sub genre. Personally, now I am waiting for blackened death country with progressive thrash elements and blast beats on washboards. Anybody up to start the band?
"American Gothic aka Gothic Country Rock (Southern Gothic & Death Country)
Southern Gothic is a subgenre of gothic fiction unique to American literature that takes place exclusively in the American South. It resembles its parent genre in that it relies on supernatural, ironic, or unusual events to guide the plot. It is unlike its parent genre in that it uses these tools not solely for the sake of suspense, but to explore social issues and reveal the cultural character of the American South.
The southern gothic style is one that employs the use of macabre, ironic events to examine the values of the American south.
Deathcountry is a sub-genre of country music, particularly alternative country. It is best described as being traditional country music with a morbid anarchist punk rock and psychobilly attitude."
