Holy shit this is proto death metal

it was the 80s faggot. learn your shit and then speak again

This album is still fucking great
AUSCHWITZ
THE MEANING OF PAIN

t.ourist

great album but holy shit that album artwork is awful.

Death metal is just extreme thrash

see kreator, sepultura and mantas

Never said it was the ultimate death metal album, or that it's the only album that influenced death metal.
I'm still exploring the sub genres of metal, I don't wanna be a tourist

I have them in my library, was planning on to and still will
And I didn't mean to imply that this album is pure Death Metal either

That's wild, considering the fact that death metal had been around for two years prior.

yes, proto death metal is called thrash metal

proto-thrash metal is called speed metal

No, speed metal is post-trad metal

now this is autism

So death metal is post-post-post-trad metal?

Two years? What album are you talking about?

No way Metallica and Megadeth could be considered having even a glimpse of death metal

There is no later starting point for death metal than 1984.

Possessed - Death Metal (1984)

Death - Death By Metal (1984)

this is one of my favourite album covers and i have no way of justifying why

Alright, fair enough. I was thinking Seven Churches in '85(?). Slayer was around earlier, too, though. I know the Death guys liked them since they used to cover Black Magic so OP is probably still correct.

Use your words user. Dont be that guy.

They were around in 1983 for sure, but there were still heavier bands if you want to go deeper.

There was still Hellhammer - Triumph Of Death (1983)

It's just shitty Infest the Rats Nest

good luck

Yes

but their is also this... en wikipedia org/wiki/Death_Metal_(split_album)

Varg cited Killers as his fav album of all time. Guess every extreme metal band took something by them. Also listen to the track Killers, that riff during the verses is pretty thrashy as hell.

(you)
although Hellhammer is the only one you could call protodeath

THE WAY THAT I WANT YOU TO DIE

Sounds like a shitty king fizz ripoff lol this shit sucks dicks g

SLOW DEATH, IMMENSE DECAY

actually THIS is proto Death metal
back when it was transitioning from Thrash

It was massively influential for death metal but, it's still basically purely thrash (though very aggresive thrash).
These how ever can be called proto-death, or in some cases even full-fledged OSDM

Oh, and you can't forget about Repulsion as well. The Horrified LP was released in 1989, but was original record and released as the Slaughter of the Innocents demo in 1986, which is the exact same recording under a different name
