VENOM WAS THE KEY.. POSSESSED WAS THE DOOR.. DEATH WAS THE WAY..
-
You guys, seriously, the term "Death Metal" goes back to 1686. Issac Newton wrote in paper about alchemy: "...ingestion of arsenic will cause death. Metal and metalloids like arsenic all have similar traits..." Ya'll see that, right? "...[cause] death. Metal [and]..." He said DEATH and then he immediately said METAL. Issac Newton invented Death Metal. Period. End of story.
-
Anyone else watching this thinking, "Is this whole video just a sample of my record collection?"
-
Chuck Schuldiner found his Death band in 1983, when he was 16 years old, and he bring the Death Metal to the best to the top!
-
People tend to forget that Morbid Angel started out in 1983 just like Possessed and Death, so you could say that those 3 were the first known death metal bands.
-
Metalheads never forget Martin Eric Ain or Chuck Shuldiner
-
To me, Seven Churches by Possessed was one of those records that went very close to actual Death Metal, but Death were the ones who did play Death Metal as a totally new subgenere that is impssible to be confused with just extreme thrash
-
I would put Sodom's 1982 demo as an honorable mention. That demo was groundbreaking.
-
Tom Warrior (Hellhammer/Celtic Frost): "The song titles, the riffs, down to our stage names - everything was copied from Venom. We thought Venom was the heaviest band, and wanted to be heavier. Everybody thought we were a new heavy band, but in reality we were just a miserable photocopy. To this day, I regularly listen to "Welcome to Hell", and it has never lost its utterly unique aura, extremity, and aggression for me. It transports me instantly to the feelings and images of when me and [former Hellhammer bassist/vocalist] Steve Warrior used to worship this album on a daily basis.”
-
Killjoy (Necrophagia): "I started getting into punk when I was twelve and stayed there until hearing Venom when they started. Venom had elements of punk but with a whole new twist. I was fucking hooked big time. And soon after, Necrophagia was created. So, to answer in short, when I first heard Venom I knew what I wanted to do.”
-
Necrophagia is always overlooked and underrated. A few of their songs are the scariest, most evil and heaviest I have ever heard in my 30 years of listening to metal... and I have gone DEEP into the rabbit hole
-
Schuldiner said : if Possessed wouldn't exist, Death couldn't exist. Possessed are like proto-death and Death perfect it🤘
-
Slayer was writing death metal riffs in hell awaits and reign in blood. If Tom growled it would be death metal
-
Possessed created Death Metal and Death perfect it.
-
I was into all these bands when the albums were released. Never divided them into such finite categories. All metal. All heavy and fast. All killer to my 17yo wasted brain. All classics by today's standards. But I'll never forget the 1st time hearing Melissa or Welcome To Hell... or Bonded By Blood! So glad I grew up listening to and watching these bands!
-
I always thought of Obituary as "death metal". Slowly We Rot is metal gold.
-
Aside from what's being mentioned here, I do find it genuinely amusing that there was a compilation released in 1984 called "Death Metal" which featured Running Wild, Helloween and Hellhammer on it
-
In my opinion there wasn't a first band, a few bands with a certain sort of sound cropped up around the same time and their collective sounds and styles created the genre. So I say that death metal was started by Possessed, Death, Kreator, Sodom, Venom and others together. As their collective styles is what formed the foundations of the death metal we know today. But thats just my take.
-
It is crazy how music evolved in so short amount of time
-
I think Kreator's influence in Death Metal is more substantial than most realize. I hear it in a lot of the early Florida DM bands such as Death, Malevolent Creation, and especially Deicide.
