What do you listen to ?

[breeding death]

of course death is death metal.....pretty much why death metal is called death metal

So "death" is the natural death metal? like the neutral death metal of all sub genres?

I dont think so! every death metal band have a sub genre in their music.

well, here's my top 3 list.
1.GRAVE = Swedish death metal veterans, still rockin' on!
2.KRISIUN = extreme death metal from brazil.
3.VADER = a mix between 70% death, 30% thrash and lots of blast beats!.

 

[AbsentFriend]

people, Opeth is not Death Metal. If they were, then they would've been on the top of my list!

 

[Flal]

My list changes all the time. Bloodbath is always at the top but the rest changes. Right now, my top 5 look like this:

Bloodbath
Nile
Decapitated
Hypocrisy
Suffocation

 

[m_sutin]

[Flal]

[m_sutin]

Agreed. Death metal emerged from thrash, and thrash emerged from punk...and so on. By the way, in my opinion Death wasn't the very first death metal band. Slayer, Kreator and Possessed can be considered proto dm...Nunslaughter and many other obscure bands did it before Death. Just felt like saying it.

 

[Deadlift]

Nunslaughter did it before death!?!?!?!?... no way... I think that was Possesed and Mantas (after knowed as "Death") with his demos "Death Metal" and "Death By Metal"... that was the beginning of the Death Metal in 1984 (and the name was taken of those demos, Death metal...)... some people said that Sepultura release the very first Death metal album but Bestial Devastation was released in 1985 (Well... in fact it was the first Death metal album because Possesed and Mantas release only Demos, but they are the Fathers of Death metal)...

 

[Deadlift]

Following bands started out early with "extreme" metal. The year before each band is the year the band was formed.

1979 Venom
1980 Mercyful Fate
1983 Bathory
1983 Mayhem
1985 Death
1985 Possessed

 

[BastardSonOfGod]

Thas's wrong...

Taken from the Official Possesed Homepage:

Possessed started with Mike Torrao (guitar) and Mike Sus (drums) as a garage band in San Francisco's Bay Area. They formed in 1983, and were basically a garage band, with several lineup changes. Late in 1983, though, their singer Barry Fisk committed suicide, and when they managed to recruit singer/bassist Jeff Becerra they formed the band Possessed.

And is the same with Death... 1983

Yeah....i`m aware of it. Most of the bands have diffrent years depending on where you look.

It was just to show that some of the first extreme metal bands were active very early.

Dimmu borgir are one of the best "Black metal" bands, but i really not see them as a death metal band ! but i'm ok with you they're really good !

 

[InWakingWater]

In no particular order; Bloodbath, Job For A Cowboy, and The Black Dahlia Murder.

(I'm not even sure if those last two are considered death-metal. I consider them to be. And all three of them kick major ass.)

 

[Teiko]

1.Hypocrisy
2.Bloodbath
3.Bodomu-huh: )
But anyway, i'm not that much into death metal...for now.
