Because people like to think that since a band is so great to them that they must be influential.
Immolation is the first NYC death metal band, and also in along with some of the most earlier death metal acts dating back around around 85,86.

Ok kids, settle down, uncle Carcassian is here with THE TRUTH.
Most influential death metal bands, in order.
1) Morbid Angel (as witnessed by the quantillion bad MA clones)
2) Entombed (as witnessed by the early to mid nineties sunlight studios factory)
3) Deicide (as witnessed by the "Scott Burns filter" button at Morrisounds studios in the nineties that made 91.3% of all known DM cds recorded at the time to sound like they were made straight after Deicide stopped recording in the same studio)
4) Carcass - (The bands influenced are far too numerous to list here). Goregrind? got it. Melodic death metal? Got it. "Pure riff-tastic" death metal? got it.
5) Toughie, this one. I did consider Death, given that they were one of the first, and Napalm Death, but then they haven't consistantly been death metal. Who to pick then? Who, dear reader? NILE. Atmosphere and mythological/historical bent in DM. It's the new Sunlight Studios. Every cunt and his dog has a slant now "oh, we're Bulgarian Iron Age DM", "We're Summatran tree god DM" etc etc.
Then again, I could be wrong.
It's unlikely though.

i agree about carcass for sure. if only niles music better fit into their pretty interesting album concepts. though different in direction i find that behemoth does it better even if nile does get more of the cred.Carcassian said:

I get it. Now 1 question - doesnt the fact that they put antichrist stuff in their songs often change em to black metal?Carcassian said:Slayer are generally considered to be a thrash band.

That's an interesting point. I think that it may indeed qualify in terms of the subject matter. It is a contemporary of many of the first wave of Black metal bands, and like them, qualifies by virtue of the subject matter.
Yeah, I'd vote for that song being proto-BM.

Usually metal sub-genres are classified by more than just lyrics. You will find satanic lyrics in death and thrash as well.
