Death 'n' roll is a term used to describe the sound of death metal bands which incorporate rock elements to their music. The term is a portmanteau of death metal and rock 'n' roll. The achieved effect is that of death metal's trademark combination of gruff vocals and highly distorted detuned guitar riffing with elements reminiscent of 1970s hard rock and heavy metal.[1][2] Notable examples include Entombed and Gorefest.

Retrieved on 2008-02-15. “Erase, was released in 1994 and found the band moving subtly toward more traditional forms of metal, partly through its sure sense of groove. That approach crystallized on 1996's Soul Survivor, which combined death metal with the elegant power and accessibility of '70s British metal.”
