I know Metallica isn't Death Metal, but I remember when ....And Justice For All came out and I brought it home. My parents went nuts over the cover. My mother was more upset with boobs than anything else. I told them to listen to it and I'd listen to it with them. After they listen to it, they just handed it back to me and said "Enjoy!" Then Megadeth's album Rust In Peace came out, I had to do it all over again. My dad said "I can't understand the words!" My mother said "Wow, someone willing to speak the truth about our government!" So the guy talking about the parents taking the time to actually listen to the music, instead of passing judgement on the cover art is the key.

Im glad that Slayer got the recogntion for influencing the death metal genre, but i think bands like Kreator, Sodom and Destruction also should be recognized. Pleasure To Kill is the most brutal album in 86. In my opinion, its more brutal and faster than Reign In Blood. Its borderline death metal with Mille's screams and fast riffs and drums.

[@tracehazarrrrd]

It's hard in today's world of mono-culture to understand the impact culture had in the early nineties, what it was like to feel threatened and scared by this extreme music and extreme culture. I remember, though only being five yrs old when DM was in its zenith, the threat that was Beavis and Butthead and Nickelodeon, or stuff like Dr. Katz, Ren and Stimpy with its gross out humour, or MTV, or this 'darker' metal. Maybe that's why I love it so much now, because I have matured and can appreciate the art in the music, rather than the anti-conventionality. I freakin' love 90s culture. At the time it felt like a sea-change against all good and holy, but the internet has destroyed any possible fear. I am of course referring to the pop-psychology. Everyone who wasn't a hip insider at the time was afraid of this weirder side of culture. These views were rather mainstream at the time, "nihilistic despair", this existential despair-culture was widely attacked all throughout the 90s. It kind of sucks being an adult now and having no semblance of a bounteous, multi-cultural culture. We took the 90s for granted. It really was such an innocent time, without the internet pulling us every which way and directing our thought on the second, it's like seeing a more primal human race. I think the very idea of information or new information was scary before the internet. Culture was ostracized as a threat. How time changes.

Haohmaru Windy two totally different bands. I love the first 4 CC albums also the 2 Athiest albums everyone knows of but two totally different bands. Athiest is so inovative, even Death wasn't doing what they were at the time.

[@mrdeathamore]

It's fucking ridiculous, Chuck Schuldiner is the one who truly was ahead of his time. Atheist? Are they played death metal at that period? Have to ask Kelly what he thinks about it. Remove the extreme vocals and instead of early Atheist you'll get a more jazz-influenced Coroner. Oh, maybe you judge by the demos? So tell me, which of the demo tapes Atheist played techno-death and if it was up to the end of 80's-early 90's? As for the rest of the bands, for example Morbid Angel (and I'm not talking about demos for now), so they also never was a techno death (if we take their first two releases). Pestilence, for example, was a straight up death metal too. What about Nocturnus. When Death's "Leprosy" thundered around the world, Nocturnus just released their first demo, which, if say it softly, was not at the level of Chuck's creativity, and in '91, when "The Key" went out, Death has already released "Human" - a masterpiece of "tech-fusion". Comparing a dry and boring Nocturnuses sound with a Schuldiner's technical, juicy and smashing riffs is truly a blasphemy. But that's not all - compare Ethereal Tomb with any Death album since '91, and you'll be unpleasantly surprised - the comparison is not in Nocturnus favor! Besides, Death has never stealed someone else's riffs as Nocturnus did, for example, on their '93 "Farewell" single. I hope guys that you got the point.

[@manynukes11]

R.A.V.A.G.E.'s first demo wasn't some jazzy Coroner, it had hints of Piece of Time which was definitely tech-death mixed with thrash, even Atheist's demos were tech death and thrash. I do acknowledge Nocturnus and Death.

An older friend introduced me to bands like Sepultura and Entombed when I was 12-13, and that changed everything. I'd heard Slayer and Metallica, but once I discovered Death, Cynic, Pestilence, Deicide and Morbid Angel, that was it. What distinguishes early 90s death metal is the _atmosphere_ and the fact that the bands didn't fully know what they were doing - i.e. it was a _new_ genre with a fertile scene of supporters.

Bands like Possessed, Death, Massacre, Morbid Angel, Nocturnus, the first real Death Metal Bands - they all heard Kill em All from Metallica and Show No Mercy from Slayer, what inspired them to make the music that is called Death Metal. Without Metallica and Slayer there would be no Death Metal. They were the ones who paved the way and who inspired all these bands to go even further and make music called Death Metal. Thats why Slayer has to be in every documentary about Death Metal.

Most early black metal wasn't seriously satanic either.

[@Leo2112Lion]

Depends how you look at it. Yeah Slayer was thrash but their thrash has always out there compared to the rest. It was more powerful. Slayer's sound wasn't just thrash, it was extreme. They are considered first wave black metal as well as thrash because their main influence was Venom, who are also credited with being first wave black metal. And since black+thrash=death, it sort of goes, because their sound had both elements and they influenced the genre notably. Reign in Blood is a good example.

[@jeppyjep]

8 years late, but yeah you're right. I think the only other bands that influenced death metal is Kreator. Imo, Pleasure To Kill is the most brutal record in 86. Mille's voice is almost like death metal. The drums, the riffs, the speed and the aggression are borderline death metal.

[@6672rock]

Since when was Slayer considered death metal?

[@Vinnay94]

+6672rock Back then, the term thrash metal would have been invented recently so bands didn't have a clearly defined genre. Sepultura would have just been considered Death Metal. Today, they were considered Death/Thrash for the 2-4 albums. This video doesn't state that Slayer are Death Metal though but people would have called them Death Metal due to there image and lyrics. Even Metallica was called' Death Metal' during there early days.

I mean all these concerned older people, then the old legendary bands themselves being young whipper snappers and rapscallions... I think if you would make a documentary today, not much would be different... sure, society is more accepting these days and whst shocked people back then is prolly mainstream now, but these stereotypes with metalheads being loners, weirdos, but also the self-understatment of the scene as exactly that, a safe place for extreme tastes is largely the same today I feel

I caught myself attempting to increase the quality in video resolution and I now feel depressed...

I didn’t choose metal, metal chose me \m/

Nocturnus..? :(

[@michaelhz37]

Waaayyy underrated

[@Ridley_1992]

.....Rings of Saturn,Dying Fetus,Acranius,Atheist,Exodus,Slayer,Testament, Sepultura,Kyleas,Meshuggah and hundreds more. Almost all genres of metal except Black metal and any bands that literally worship satan. I personally know of at least 10 people who were/are in death metal bands, and they are without a doubt the nicest, friendliest people I know.

Death Metal starting off with Toronto makes me very happy

Don't let Schuldiner's legacy die!

[@eumenideia1812]

Chuck Schuldiner: “Well, it’s definitely flattering [to be credited with having started the death metal scene], but I really can’t consider myself to have started it. In my opinion Venom were the first - to have the brutal vocal style, tuning low their instruments, that initial brutal aggression. But I think that maybe I’ve kept it going to what death metal is today, as a lot of those older bands are no longer going, like Venom; and I guess I picked up where they left off, and I’m still in there luckily.”

wow look at luc lemay lmao. He looks 12

[@tjcaruthers5593]

The worse thing to happen with the rise of death metal was how pigeon holed Scott Burns was placed. He couldn't spread his wings. It got to the point that Scott took himself out of the art of recording. Scott is sorely missed. I still feel no one can touch what Scott Burns has done.

Chuck had a vision and may have wanted everyone in the current line up to play what he wanted but the albums probably wouldn’t be as legendary if he let the other musicians do what ever they wanted.

Thanks bro. Hope for more..

[@chuckdeless9891]

Chicago's Master, Devastation, Sindrome, Terminal Death, Macabre had the scene too.

I wish those types of interviews will come up eventually. Stoned reported and just have fun to watch. That was TV invented for, right?
