Death

Death was an American death metal band formed in Altamonte Springs, Florida, in 1983 by guitarist Chuck Schuldiner, drummer/vocalist Kam Lee, and guitarist Rick Rozz. Formed out of what would become the Florida death metal scene, Death is considered a pioneering death metal band. The band's 1987 debut album, Scream Bloody Gore, is regarded as one of the first death metal records, alongside the first records from Possessed and Necrophagia. Death had a fluctuating lineup, with Schuldiner, aside from a European tour, the sole consistent member. The group's style progressed from the raw sound on its first two albums to a more complex one in its later stage. The band disbanded after Schuldiner died of glioma and pneumonia in December 2001, but remains an enduring influence on death metal.
