Death "Scream Bloody Gore" VS Possessed "Seven Churches" (Guitar Riffs Battle)

[@isnorttannerite539]

It’s crazy to think that when seven churches was recorded Jeff becerra and Larry lalonde were both 15 and 16, worse to think that Jeff was paralyzed at 21.

The fact that someone or some bands inspire a band or a person doesnt mean that someone and some bands automatically become first death metal band or first death metal album. If so, Slayer should be the very first Death metal band, as they influenced hundreds and even thousands of later death metal bands, much much more than Possessed. Furthermore, this direct riff comparison allowed us to distinguish which album is more similar to 90s death meral albums. Last but not least, Possessed second album became pure thrash metal, while Death sophomore effort. is much more progressing towards what nowadays called Death metal. In fact, death metal is Death 's metal

I gave Possessed Seven Churches to a friend for her 15th birthday in 1985, at the time she was into mainstream music, Madonna, Dire Straits, Culture Club, she was obsessed with Corey Hart and Menudo's Ricky Martin. Seven Churches turned her into a metal chick, she's had an obsession with Chuck Billy of Testament since The Legacy.

[@boneworksofc.7333]

I agree I think possessed sounds super thrashy like it has death metal parts/aspects but imo it's still very thrashy I feel like death really nailed the "death metal sound" because of all the chromatic single notes and overall more chaotic sounding versus possessed which is heavy but not chaotic I feel like there just playing fast and not putting any groove into it which is is super thrashy but honestly I like both bands and TECHNICALLY possessed came out first so I think it's a matter of preference at the end of the day

[@HELL77]

Both are cornerstones of Death Metal, and indeed I think they are the firsts albums that increased the intensity of Thrash towards Death Metal. Furthermore, To call Death or Possessed thrash would be a misunderstanding of their sound. however, this period of Death Metal lasted about 2 to 3 years, because in 1989, the album that really shaped Death Metal to the way we currently know it was released, Altars of Madness. So ,when I talked about Death Metal and its first albums, I always considered Seven Churches, Scream Bloody gore and Altars of Madness to be at the same level of importance. Of course, there were other Death Metal albums, EPs, demos, released in between the first two and Altars, such as Season of the Dead, None Shall Defy, etc, but , Possessed, Death and Morbid Angel ,were the bands the truly did revolutionized the genre, each with their own contributions. greetings from Lima - Peru.

[@Geewunner4life]

In my opinion Death was the first real Death Metal band while Possessed was Thrash with a slightly heavier tone. I'll always acknowledge Possessed as being the main influence to the formation of Death Metal though. Great video, dude. 2 highly influential extreme music albums that shaped an entire genre. Hornz and Hailz. 🤘🤘

[@abrahkkan]

Totally agree. Possessed from a thrash position began with ideas that lead to a new genre. Mantas and afterwards Death is the culmination of that process. From there: habemus death metal. Something similar happened with Sepultura in South America, they had ideas and intentions towards death metal, but still too thrashy.

[@J0SHUAKANE]

Season of the Dead by Necrophagia came out 2 months earlier.

[@landempirediybands]

Death thrash vs death thrash in

[@solitarianexistence]

I disagree. The overall atmosphere of Seven Churches, some of the weird song structures, vocal style, solo structure and execution, definitely has more to it than can just be considered thrash. It's the very beginning seeds of the death metal genre. Black Sabbath and Priest don't sound very similar, but both are heavy metal right? Possessed is a death metal band, man. "But it has a lot of thrash in it " so does old Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel.

[@editorrbr2107]

Here’s why the answer is Death: groove. They both are evolved hypertechnical speed metal, but the use of groove by death would go on to define the genre.

“Seven Churches” may not be quite what death metal would become, but I think it clearly qualifies for the genre, and given that it came out about 2 years earlier it takes the cake. I also feel that both “Hell Awaits” and “Reign in Blood” by Slayer could be in the running. While the vocals aren’t quite all there it’s hard to deny that these 2 albums are at least death/thrash fusion.

And that's exactly what they were - thrash with semi gruff/growled vocals.

You should know better considering your age. Possessed coined the term 'Death Metal'. Possessed was the first band who called themselves Death Metal. Chuck was a big fan of Possessed. '7 Churches' was literally billed as Death Metal and was released 2 full years before Scream. There is no debate as to which came first it is historical fact '7 Churches' came out first. Death and Morbid Angel along with Obituary and Bolt Thrower ended up shaping the scene but Possessed was first. Its not even debatable.

Sepultura is a thing. The problem is that it is really hard to define Sepultura's into one genre, specially throughout the 80's and 90's. Sepultura always has a trace of something else, it is always dancing between genres, that's what makes their sound unique.

[@ll7868]

Possessed is the first Death Metal band, Seven Churches was in 1985 and Scream Bloody Gore was in 1987. Possessed also formed a year earlier in '83 when thrash was still trying to find it's identity, they did it in the Bay Area alongside Slayer, Exodus, Death Angel and Metallica, while Death was inspired by Possessed and formed in Florida in 1984 after Chuck saw Possessed in concert and heard Jeff Becerra's vocals. This "Who's the first Death Metal?" isn't an issue outside diehard Chuck Schuldiner fans who want it to be his band soooooo bad.

This is a really interesting comparison. They’re both so different yet so similar at the same time.

[@crawlingamongthestars3736]

Seven Churches is death metal-esque, but it still retains a good deal of that higher-pitched, more party party and optimistic flavor that thrash metal has, which derives from NWOBHM, and ultimately, pentatonic rock and roll style riffing, whereas much of SBG is low, murky, chromatic and charnel- sounding, so I have to give it to SBG myself. Leprosy is probably the most purely death metal Death ever was though.

I love them all! I don't think it was a race that any particular band was winning by being first, so much as it was a movement of young people with similar ideas and influences, who all arrived at the scene about the same time and played off each others' ideas and energy to create an extreme metal that would get pigeon-holed into more consistent/homogenized styles by labels and producers later on.

As someone who didn’t live through it, and can only listen retrospectively I hear a lot of similarities bw bands like Venom, Bathory, Sodom, Celtic Frost, Slayer, Kreator, Possessed, Necrophagia, Morbid Saint and early Death. With each band expanding on the drums, vocals, and riffs. What really begins to distinguish aggressive thrash and death metal is the riff style and the vocals. Death Metal drops the full power chord riffing in favor of more single note tremolo chromaticism. When they do use power chords, it sounds like they drop the octave, only keeping the 1 and the 5, and use the power chords as transitional riffs, whereas thrash uses fast power chord riffing throughout. This is exemplified in your video. Death Metal also uses a full death growl versus the death bark or thrash yell. For these reasons death metal is on the verge of bursting with scream bloody gore, but doesn’t come to its true form for me until Death’s Leprosy, Amon’s demos, and Morbid Angel
