A "Wall of Death" technically isn't a dance or "mosh" per se, but rather a way for the band(usually requested by the singer/vocalist) to get the crowd to start moshing. The performer tells the crowd to separate into two sides, usually by exclaiming "Wall of Death," and the crowd will split like the Red Sea for Moses. After the crowd has separated into the two halves, he then will start a countdown or the band will begin a riff to build up suspense. The vocalist might use this time to rile the crowd up by telling the crowd to "kill" each other or some such exaggeration. After this, the vocalist will give the "green light" or the song will begin, and the two sides will rush toward each other and collide, moshing to their heart's content. This style of crowd interaction is usually found in venues where Punk, Metal, or any subgenre within these are being played.
