Death to me was the true founder of, and the reason why it's called "Death Metal". Unfortunately (IMO), many bands have since butchered Death Metal, and it has become entirely something else.
Death was a very "technical" metal band because of it's excellently executed guitar riffs and methodical sound.
Chuck Schuldiner, the founder (formerly of the band, Mantas), and amazing guitar player passed away in 2002 from a brain tumor. It was a very sad day, but an almost welcome ending to a painful illness.
If you haven't yet heard death, might I recommend that you do so immediately. I've converted many non-metalheads with the blissful sound of Death. My personal favorite album, Symbolic (1995) is a treat, but also feel free to check out Scream Bloody Gore (1987), Leprosy (1988), Spiritual Healing (1990), Human (1991), Fate (1992), Individual Thought Patterns (1993), The Sound Of Perseverance (1998), The Fragile Art Of Existence (1999), Live in L.A. (2001), Live in Eindhoven (2001).
