Conrad "Cronos" Lant invented Death Metal and Black Metal, and he will try to fight anyone who says any different... he STILL wants to fight Quorthon over it, and he's been dead for 16 years. However, if Cronos invented Death Metal, then THE TRUE FATHER OF DEATH METAL AND ALL EXTREME METAL IS LEMME KILMISTER! Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer, and all the other First-Generation Black Metal and Death Metal bands all openly proclaim that their early albums are heavily influenced by Motorhead.

You guys, seriously, the term "Death Metal" goes back to 1686. Issac Newton wrote in paper about alchemy: "...ingestion of arsenic will cause death. Metal and metalloids like arsenic all have similar traits..." Ya'll see that, right? "...[cause] *death. Metal* [and]..." He said DEATH and then he immediately said METAL. Issac Newton invented Death Metal. Period. End of story.

Everybody thought we were a new heavy band, but in reality we were just a miserable photocopy. To this day, I regularly listen to "Welcome to Hell", and it has never lost its utterly unique aura, extremity, and aggression for me.

I'd say that Possessed "Seven Churches" was an extremely important record for death metal genre. Also we have to mention Sepultura "Morbid Visions" which is even more brutal and aggressive than Possessed's debut. Next steps were made in 1987: Necrophagia "Season of the Dead", Death "Scream Bloody Gore" and maybe some other aggressive stuff like Sarcofago. But if someone asks me about the first death metal album which has finally formed features of the genre - I'd say it was Death "Leprosy". 1980's - is a period when extreme metal genres like thrash, death and black walked side by side.

I've always thought that the difference between thrash and death metal was not in the speed but in the atmosphere. In this sense "Hell Awaits" can be considered a proto-death metal album along with Hellhammer and first Sepultura. Possessed were way too "thrashy" in their riffing and their fascination was all about speed and satanic topics on their lyrics. The real step to the development of the genre is without doubt "Scream Bloody Gore" by Death with its hellish riffing and otherworld vocals, more than "INRI" by Sarcofago that also was a huge source of inspiration for many bands in the years after.

Great video - well researched (as usual!) and featuring nearly all albums that I own. There were one or two there that I don't have/never heard of, so they're on the list. And props for including Onslaught - a band that don't get a lot of recognition and are often overlooked because they weren't part of the bay area or the Florida scenes (as they come from England) and definitely worth mentioning in the roots of death. For me though, the 'first' death metal album is "Scream Bloody Gore" by Death. Possessed I think had too many black/satanic influences in their sound and lyrics to be considered 100% death metal. Of course Death followed up with the absolute classic "Leprosy", which is absolutely essential, and really nailed down the Florida sound. What a great video - keep up the amazing work, and looking forward to what you do next!

Mike Torrao (Possessed): “We kind of got a big influence from Venom. We had no influence from Slayer at all. Everybody thinks we did but we didn't. Kiss was like my influence to play guitar and stuff. I liked Ace Frehley, the guitar player, and then I grew up on Iron Maiden. After that, Judas Priest through high school, and then I got into Venom and that's when the Possessed thing started happening.”

Death Metal's origins mirror the origins of Heavy Metal in general. Black Sabbath may have been the first Heavy Metal band, but before them there were other bands that released heavy metal songs. You had Purple Haze by Hendrix, Innagaddadavida by Iron Butterfly, Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf, Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, etc. Death may have been the first Death Metal band, but the first Death Metal song was At Dawn They Sleep by Slayer.

The reason Possessed and Death are seen as the start of death metal is Scott Burns and Morrisound. He figured out how to record and mix the drums to get it to sit better and clearer in the mix, specifically the double kick drums. The reason people say Death was the first is because even though Possessed 7 Churches came out before Scream Bloody Gore, Possessed was still a bit trashy. Death was something new. Try and find an Xcecutioner demo, who would go on to become Obituary. That was 85-86 while still in high school. Brutal. There was something happening in Florida that was not happening in San Fran which was very trash dominated.

Dude! It's always a pleasure watching these, as you mention some DEEP cuts. Citing Onslaught's material is proof enough, and it is refreshing as all hell! As for who or what kickstarted Death Metal, all that great early Extreme Metal stuff played a significant part in forming and sculpting the genre, but to get down and dirty about it, I'll say the following: Possessed were the first, what with the guitar tone, their choice of scales and that arpeggio thing alongside the thrashier riffs, and, of course, Jeff Becerra's growling. Add to that the fact that Chuck Schuldiner himself was a major fan and not only cited Possessed as the game-changer for him in terms of his own writing but having hung around them in the early days to soak it all in. Possessed started it, and Chuck went on to hone it further into what we can easily recognize as Death Metal today. Also, that Tampa Bay scene exploded after Scream Bloody Gore had dropped, so all those Venom-loving sons of bitches got their shit together after Chuck and co. were pummeling ears in that corner of the world. As an aside... If their influences weren't wearing bullet belts, they didn't start shit! ;-p

Even the "Death Metal" song by Possessed is too thrashy to be called pure Death Metal, it's like the sound of that album is in the thin line between thrash/death and death, the transition (even the band continue that line, more thrash than death on their last records). But Scream Bloody Gore is pure death metal since the first track to the last, so in my opinion Death put the sound to the genre. Not even to mention that there were not death metal albums before Leprosy, another defining piece ahead of its time (1988). Nice video

In my opinion, Possessed, Death, Slayer and Sarcófago were the most important. But you cant say that anyone created the death metal, death metal was a movement that happened in some parts of the world. In Brazil it was first inspired by Kiss when they came to Belo Horizonte in 1983. A lot of kids got impressed by this show and then, inspiried by heavy metal bands, emerged in Belo Horizonte some bands like Overdose, Sepultura, Sarcofago, Holocausto, Sextrash, Witchhammer...

Great round-up! A couple of names which used to get brought up regularly in these discussions, but which are missing from your presentation... for a while in the '90s and early '00s it was pretty common for underground metalheads to claim that Necrovore invented DM (- although of course that was conveniently overlooking the fact that Possessed easily beat them to the punch); and around 1990-91, plenty of fanzines and so on reckoned that Paul Speckmann had invented it (something he himself never denied, for obvious reasons). Master and Death Strike were both up and running by 1985, but... personally I'm with you, my vote goes to Possessed every time. I can still remember the adrenaline rush of listening to Seven Churches when it first came out... I already knew what they sounded like - "Pentagram" had appeared on Speed Kills vol 1 - but still, "The Exorcist" blew my head off. The sheer ferocity of their sound just seemed to wipe the floor with EVERYTHING else at that time. So I would not argue with you :-D

I think you should have given a mention to Abominations of Desolation, the first Morbid Angel full length recorded back in -86. The band calls it an EP nowadays but that doesn't change its historic value. In my opinion this album has much less speed metal influences than the first Possessed and Death albums, and more of that atonal, Slayer-influenced riffing. That being said I think the argument can as easily be made that Celtic Frost invented the genre. If we look at To Mega Therion, it hits all the standards of the genre: downtuned guitars, odd time signatures, atonal riffs, guttural vocals and dark subject matters. They weren't as influential on American death metal bands though which has affected their historic status.

Is only needed when it comes to selling shit with its chessy marketing slogans. Slowly we rot is credited as the first official 'death metal' release and the first on a new record label to set up in the USA, roadrunner records which is synonymous to the whole scene more than anyone else and need to market stupid labels to kids. If ya look at the original release it is actually under 'road racer' and is the only one like that, I've still got it somewhere!? Possessed and repulsion wou o d be probably the first to make it unique and not just another thrash band but yeah, trey is definitely responsible for death metal more than he is given credit and I'm sure wouldn't accept either, the dude barely let's a photo or interview happen and shit. I think they were on there 5th drummer, and probably as many singers and bass players by the time abominations came out and all the big songs from all their first 4 and biggest albums are on the demo's in some form and is like 84 I think ? But blessed are the sick, rapture, abominations and another sign is a Florida or really Mexican band being signed to earache and not roadrunner, and abominations on metalblade and so horrible on another sign of them being too ahead of thei time f o r even the record industry set up around it. I honestly believe its morbid angel or just trey in particula, the morbid demo is the oldest and it still almost has the logo and whole vibe to them that set it a part from the thrash bands. Is not just a swap between skank and blast beats but those evil beats played so slow and half speed on the ride and the double kicks 9n another time zone underneath if. Wow, no one vam deny that morbid angel are 9ne of the greatest ever and trey is still relentlessly touring non-stop and doing shit how he wwnts to. The stupid guitar solos he does are the best thing he still does and on those same iconic guitars are probably more famous than he is!? Lol

i’m not a death metal expert so maybe take my opinion with a grain of salt but death sounds like the first pure death metal band, whereas possessed sounds more like extreme thrash metal with a bit of venom influence also, great music recommendations in the last part of the video. never heard of many of those and i’m excited to check them out!
