Death is a legendary American death metal band formed in 1983. They are considered one of the pioneers of the genre and have had a significant impact on the development of extreme metal music. Led by frontman Chuck Schuldiner, Death released several critically acclaimed albums throughout their career, including "Scream Bloody Gore" and "Symbolic." Known for their technicality and intense sound, Death's music continues to inspire and influence countless bands in the metal community.

With their aggressive yet intricate guitar riffs, complex song structures, and thought-provoking lyrics, Death pushed boundaries within the death metal genre. Their unique blend of melody and brutality set them apart from other bands at the time. Despite lineup changes over the years, Chuck Schuldiner remained at the helm as the main songwriter and driving force behind Death's musical direction.

Throughout their existence, Death challenged societal norms with their lyrical themes exploring topics such as mortality, spirituality, politics, and personal introspection. Their fearless approach to tackling controversial subjects made them stand out among their peers. With each album release, they continued to evolve musically while maintaining their signature sound.

death were a detroit band of three african-american brothers, the hackneys, who switched from r&amp;b in the early '70s when they were turned on to the local insurrectionist rock 'n' roll promulgated by the stooges, the mc5 and so on. they were reputedly almost signed to columbia by clive davis, who wanted them to change their name. they released a single in 1975 and pretty much disappeared after that. the single now sells for 1000 dollars and upwards. '...for the whole world to see' features the two songs from the single, 'keep on knocking' and 'politicians in my eyes,' and five other tracks. death focus on the sort of cranked-up, diamond-sharp rock 'n' roll as heard on the mc5's 'high time'. but there's plenty more going on here, not least that weird, probably accidental hybrid of garage rock, psych, prog and proto-punk that flourished in isolation and obscurity across north america at the time. think simply saucer, or rocket from the tombs. on drag city.
