First band to do Death Metal Growls?

[Sinister Mephisto]

My girlfriend asked me who the first band to do the low death metal singing and I actually have no idea. Anyone want to help me out? I figure Slayer was the first to really yell but they weren't really growly and low, just yells.

Thanks!

Im not really sure either but Possessed is a good candidate.

I've read that it was Possessed aswell.

Sounds like Possessed Death and Napalm Death should all be credited. Thanks!

Morbid Angel was before death

I would have to say Repulsion, Necrophagia, Carcass, Terrorizer, and Napalm Death...

Lol, I'll repost what I told another member. I'm not a fan of dragonball Z anymore. I first started using this name when I was 13 (I'm gonna be 18) when I signed up for this dragonball z/gaming forum. I just keep it so I don't have to think a new one up everytime I join a board. It keeps thing a lot less confusing that way.

Not to sure about the first band to incorporate the low growls but
Possessed "Seven Churches" is the very first death metal album

You got that backwards. Death has been around since the mid 80's
and Morbid Angel was born in '88 or '89 I believe

Living colour is BLACK metal. I'm talking about Death metal.

Louie Armstrong was using death metal growls back in the 1940's.

There's a harsh-ish scream/growl in the end of Judas Priests' Victim of Changes, which is '76 or something. Don't know if it constitutes harsh vocals though since it's just 6 or so seconds long.

Earliest black-ish vocals I've heard were in Skinny Puppy's 'Mind: The Perpetual Intecourse' album (1986), which coincidentally isn't even metal.
