There are two artists by this name. A death metal band and a 70s garage rock band.
1) Death was an influential death metal band founded by guitarist and vocalist Chuck Schuldiner in Orlando in 1983. They released several demos as Mantas before changing their name in 1984.
2) Death was a Detroit band formed 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.
== 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. Their best-selling album, “Human”, was released in 1991 and is considered by many to be the band in top-form. Their last album, “The Sound of Perseverance”, was released in 1998.

The African-American band was better than the fag metal band.

whether that's true or not has nothing to do with what I said, I do recall reading somewhere that Chuck wrote songs that decidedly weren't Death then pursued Control Denied (I do believe it's somewhere on empty words). Anything else is irrelevant to the point I was making but perhaps that eluded you.

When Chuck signed to Nuclear Blast in 1997 he had to release a Death album before moving onto Control Denied.

I don't see how you can say that... The Sound of Perseverance was an amazing album that sounded little like the Control Denied... The only similarity I found was Chuck's music genius but a clear separation exists between the two. One thing you must realize about Death is every album was different than the last, the music evolved with each album and I don't see that Control Denied was simply another step in the evolution of Death otherwise Chuck would have worked on songs as Death.... I do believe he actually said he was writing songs then realized they weren't Death and set the Control Denied project in motion. I think you're way off base with that comment tbh.
