jprp;3591607; said:if you want to get into it -going back to the early eighties "death Metal" was defined by the lyrical content and we had sub generas of "thrash" that included :
hate metal
war metal
metal core
speed metal
speed core
death core
cross over
black metal
the florida death scene was several years later.
and all those black metal bands you like started to emerge mid eighties onwards.
i didnt know there was still a death what with the death of chuck ?
i was realy refering to the early albums (same with obituary).
if you are interested in where all your black metal bands got inspiration check out the first 4 bathory albums and if you want to go even further the first 4 venom albums as they were pretty much the first full -on black/thrash/death band.
I am well aware of the roots of my black/death metal, and I am also not just limited to black metal.
Yes, Bathory and Venom are amazing, and they did contribute a lot to the scene, as well as Hellhammer, Mayhem, Burzum, Dark Throne, Rotting Christ, etc. Quorthon has always been one of my favorite musicians.
