I liked it but it wasn't stimulating. It had a relaxing quality and the bass felt good on my ears for some reason.

You might stumble onto something you like and probably pick up some more musical vocabulary.
One thing I notice: You seem to refer to all kinds of extreme metal as death metal. Death metal is actually only one specific type of extreme metal.

Maybe. Or maybe not. I have my doubts, haha. I would become a music artist myself if there wasn't so much to do and so little time. Creating music takes time, dedication, and...patience. I may be expecting music that is too good.

The first one is too heavy. Not much room for melody. The second one has this thing that the music seemingly "waits" for the singer to finish, more lyric-focused. The thrid has long periods of just bass, don't know the purpose of that. The fourth one is indeed complex, but it sounds "off". It's intentional, but it's difficult to grasp. But yeah, maybe complex isn't what I'm looking for.

You shouldn't be connecting with the artist on a personal level, because the feelings expressed are basically divorced from any specific issues from the band members, you should just be connecting with your own deep-rooted feelings of unfocused rage. An overabundance of testosterone also helps.

I understand. I listen to In Flames sometimes. Not sure if you would consider it death metal, but it contains plenty of rage as well.
