    People don't appreciate themes, they appreciate art.   
   
If I were to write a poem that went like this:   
DEATH IS BAD   
IT MAKES ME SAD   
BUT STILL   
I LIKE TO KILL   
ALL THE PEOPLE   
   
No one would like it because it's a pile a turds.   
Same thing goes for music, if it's not approached in an artistic way, then no one aside from the subgroup that's trained themselves to like that music will appreciate it.   
   
I looked up "best death metal bands" and sure enough "Death" was on the top of on the top of most of their lists.   
   
Here's some of their lyrics:   
   
go in for the kill   
always in sight-prey   
the time always right-feast   
feed on the pain-taste   
   
In my opinion, that's not exactly up to the standard of poetry.

    Suicide machine - A song about euthanasia   
"Robbed of natural abilities    
In death they now seek tranquility    
In a confused state of mind    
Extending agony, they must be blind    
Manipulating destiny    
When it comes to living, no one seems to care    
But when it comes to wanting out    
Those with power, will be there    
Prolong the pain    
How long will it last?    
Suicide machine    
A request to die with dignity    
Is that too much to ask? "   
   
Altering the future - about abortion   
"Life for a life should remain the rule   
The innocent victim that is what's cruel   
Look to the past is what we should do   
When justice was done and justice was true   
Using our laws to help their escape   
An easy way out is what they create   
Claiming insane is the way to freedom   
People are stupid enough to believe them"   
   
See through dreams - About being born blind   
"Born into darkness    
Where sounds portray the images that are out    
Out of reach from my sight    
Which has been denied    
Hands change into my eyes    
Body senses intensified    
Sight so close yet far away    
   
In dreams my thoughts take their form    
To give memories identity    
Through dreams I obtain    
The ability to connect sight with sound "   
   
Flesh and the Power it Hold - [I think it's about obsession]   
"Passion is a poison laced with pleasure bitter sweet   
One of many faces that hide deep beneath   
It will take you in   
It will spit you out   
   
Behold the flesh   
And the power it holds!   
Touch   
Taste   
   
Breathe   
Consumed   
Deja-vu   
Already knew"   
   
Together as one - about conjoined twins   
"Displayed as a nightmare   
Criticised through words and eyes   
As they stare   
To the normal it seems grotesque   
Connected by a bond of flesh   
   
Sharing both please and pain   
Two minds, two hearts, one soul   
Separating mentally   
An illusion of privacy"

    Exactly. It's not the subject matter that's being reviled; it's the QUALITY of the work that's in question.

    You'll not find a band with more lyrical quality on these subjects than Death.

    Sorry, but no. I've given this genre, and some of the bands you mentioned a fair chance. When it comes to music (and most forms of art), I form an opinion after personal experience. While there are bits & pieces here & there that have potential, there's too much mediocre, and in some cases, outright terrible prose. Add in the caustic quality of the music that accompanies the lyrics, and you have a few specks of gold mixed in with ****.

    I'm not willing to dig through a pile of **** to find a tiny speck of gold.

    Additionally, if this music appeals to you, and it's available to you, why do you care so much about the opinions of other people? Just enjoy your music, and stop whining about how it's not 'appreciated by the masses'.
