There are at least three artists by this name. A death metal band, 70s garage rock band, and a rapper.
1) (1984 - 2002)
Death was an influential death metal band founded by guitarist and singer Chuck Schuldiner in Orlando, Florida in 1983. They released several demos as Mantas before changing their name in 1984.
2) Death was a protopunk band formed in Detroit in 1971 by three African-American brothers, the Hackneys. Their only album was 1975’s …For the Whole World To See. These sessions were recorded between 1973 and 1974.
3) A horrorcore rapper from New Orleans, who released an album “Possessed by the Ouija Board” in 1993.
== Death 1 ==
Death is widely considered one of the most influential bands in the genre. The band’s debut, “Scream Bloody Gore”, has been described as “death metal’s first archetypal document,” and Schuldiner himself as the “father of death metal”. However, Schuldiner dismissed such attributions in an interview with Metal-Rules.com, stating, “I don’t think I should take the credit for this death metal stuff. I’m just a guy from a band, and I think Death is a metal band.”
As of 2008, Death has sold over 1.5 million albums worldwide, with 368,184 albums having been sold in the US alone (not counting sales prior to the Soundscan era), making them one of the top-selling death metal bands of all time. After the album “Spiritual Healing”, Death began moving away from their early death metal sound and adopting more of a progressive metal style, with jazz-influenced bass playing and more complex time signatures.

Well that's interesting. EternalDeath94. Don't just say that though. Give us the names of some bands higher in the list for you than Entombed. There could be some really good bands.
