i'd have to say Death, only because the its named after them. I think they started out in 85 or so, i don't really know. *they started out in 83, but released their first album that i can find in 87, so yeah i just split the difference.

Death, they were called mantis before that I think. They released a shitload of demos between 83 and 87 when scream bloody gore came out. I wouldn't call black sabbath death metal. But there may have been others at the same time, who knows?

Lol nope, Black Sabbath is not death metal at all.
It's a close call between Sepultura and Death, but Death wins.

I would have to disagree. SLAYER in 1982.
In a close tie for 2nd is Possesed and Mantas
Also how is sepultura death metal. I always thought of them as playing quite tame music with just a harsher message.

just because their vocals dont sound like someone puking blood and bits of glass doesnt mean SLAYER isnt death metal.
I mean, its metal, and its about death, right? what else would you call it? Thrash?

Slayer is thrash metal, that's what they want to be called a close second would be satan metal
Death is the original death metal

OK, you skooled me.
I figured they were considered "thrash", but I always saw them as kind of overlapping into the "death" category. I generally tend to apply these labels in a rather abstract way according to my own feelings, and I never really pay attention to the actual rules that govern them.
But, yah, musical labels are bunk.

indeed... but to have your music associated with the mainstream in any way, shape or form means to have your music categorized into a genre.

Death, they were the first to really start that death metal sound. Chuck Schuldiner (RIP) is the godfather of death metal.
