Stuff like Cannibal Corpse i can stand for about 14 seconds, then it becomes too much lol.

That wasn't in my country, but happened mostly in Norway. The ones that go around burning down churches are usually connected with black metal, which is (in my opinion) much worse than anything death metal can throw at you. I do listen to death metal every once in a while, but although it is not a favourite it doesn't make me feel sick either. Black metal, on the other hand, has built up a pretty bad name for itself over the years. There have been murders, church burnings, suicides (one of which was depicted on the cover of a black metal album), national socialism, cases of insanity and so on and so forth connected with this particular stream within metal music.

Some take themselves far too seriously. Others take it as a big joke. Whatever it is, though.. it's not something I want to spend my energy on/with. Death metal might have the icky death-name, but black metal has the deeds to show for it.
