Death was an American metal band founded in 1983. The band's founder, Chuck Schuldiner, is considered "a pioneering force in death metal and grindcore". The band ceased to exist after Schuldiner died of brain cancer in 2001, though remains an enduring heavy metal brand.

Death is considered one of the most influential bands in metal. The band's debut, Scream Bloody Gore, has been described as "death metal's first archetypal document" and "the first true death metal record". One music biographer has referred to Schuldiner as the "Father of Death Metal" while another has claimed that Schuldiner is "readily acknowledged as the true founder of the U.S. death metal scene".

As of 2008, Death had sold over 2 million albums worldwide, with over 500,000 copies sold by December 2009 in the U.S. alone (excluding the numerous sales before the SoundScan era) making them the top-selling death metal band worldwide, and only topped in the U.S. by Cannibal Corpse.

Death (metal band) Video

This is a fantastic song in my opinion so I have decided to upload it to youtube. This song is off of Necrophagist's 2004 album ''Epitaph''. I hope that you all enjoy, this song has extremely good riffs and solo licks, the band overall is magnificent. If this video gets some good views and if people like this video enough, then I might upload more MP3'S or the band. With that being said, I might even do a series of MP3s ranging from all different genres, ( alot of different sounding bands ). Anyways here's some brief information about this great band.. Oh, I almost forgot...I also wanted to add that the band's number one artist that they adore and have been inspired by is Johnny Cash. Necrophagist is a technical death metal band from Germany, founded and fronted by guitarist/vocalist Muhammed Suiçmez. The band is known for their rapid and technical compositions, as well as classical influence. The name originates from the Greek root words "nekros" ("dead body") and "phagous" ("to eat, eater of").
