But lets talk about some important albums in history of metal like Iron Maiden's Iron Maiden which is a masterpiece for sure, those melodic guitars with Paul's strong vocals and Steve's unique bass sound. A masterpiece instrumental song like "Transylvania" or one of the best ballads of metal ever like "Remember Tomorrow" and yes born of NWOBHM maybe.
Or take a look at Metallica's Kill 'Em All album and born of thrash metal. A brutal instrumental song by adorable Cliff Burton
. And songs like "The Four Horseman" or "Seek and Destroy" ...Godfathers of metal Black Sabbath started with Black Sabbath in 1970 and made the history of metal with songs like "Black Sabbath" and "N.I.B" and brought us doom and heavy metal.
I can talk a lot and mention a lot of other albums but its better to see what you think all?

Written by Angelic Storm on 31.07.2010 at 15:48 Jeff screams more than he growls. But Possessed did coin the prhase death metal, just like Venom coined the phrase black metal. As for musically starting the trend, well that would be a mix up of Possessed, Death, Slaughter, I would say.

The three Massacre demos and Infestation of Death (which is a bootleg, as far as I know, but whatever) utterly destroy anything Mantas ever did, but that's just me. Anyway, back on topic.

Written by vezzy on 31.07.2010 at 16:25 That is just you.  Yeah back to debut albums. Well, Testament's The Legacy is a true classic which destroys every album in their own catalogue.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 31.07.2010 at 15:50 Yep, I think its because they coined the phrase death metal, and Jeff's voice somewhat resembled death vocals that many credit them with starting the genre. That, and their debut came out 2 years before Death's. But for me, Kam has the archetypal death metal voice. And Death's music, unlike Possessed's really was something totally different. Also, Mantas and Death released demos before Possessed's first album came out, which I think negates that as an arguement. Listening to "Scream Bloody Gore" is like listening to the aural equivelant of a low budget, brutal, b horror movie. Definitely unique for its time. xD I think Possessed most definitely were an influence on early death metal bands, but Id say Death were the first real death metal band. I know thats only my opinion, but what the heck. lol Okay, I'll stop being a geek now!

Written by Angelic Storm on 31.07.2010 at 17:11 Not really geeky. It's common knowledge, IMO. =\ Anyway, I'll add Evildead's Annihilation of Civilization on the list. Savage thrash debut.

Written by vezzy on 31.07.2010 at 17:22 I wouldnt say so... my opinion on the matter certainly isnt universally held anyways. I think Death/Mantas were the first real death metal band, and nobody will convince me otherwise. But there's plenty of people who would disagree with that opinion. lol Other debuts I love are Annihilator's "Alice In Hell", Forbidden's "Forbidden Evil", and Helloween's "Walls Of Jericho". The latter being extremely influential as well as being an awesome album.

Written by Angelic Storm on 31.07.2010 at 17:11 Possessed's demo was out before the most of Mantas' stuff  Imo and also that of loads of others who were there at the time... Possessed's music was such a step forward from thrash in terms of aggresivenes and total deliverance that we at the time considered that first death metal and of course Mantas shortly afterwards as well, same for Slaughter.

Written by Angelic Storm on 31.07.2010 at 17:26 1). I agree that they were the first. Also, you should check out Deathstrike's Fuckin' Death (Master side-project) originally released in 1985. It was a pretty early death metal demo, but it also had quite a few traces of doom. Early death/doom, possibly. 2). I never did like Alice in Hell or Annihilator as a whole. Don't know why.

Written by Angelic Storm on 31.07.2010 at 17:11 a lot of ppl say that it was Necrophagia which started death metal. Even if its true I dont think they were as important as Death for death metal for sure.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 31.07.2010 at 17:27 Wasnt Mantas' first demo released in the same year as Possessed's? Dont quote me on that though! I realise its a neverending debate really, and the debateable nature of the subject just makes that all the more so. xD

Written by Angelic Storm on 31.07.2010 at 17:48 Yes the same year. If I remember correctly the Possesed one was released a month prior to that of Mantas.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 31.07.2010 at 17:51 Possessed demo released in January you mean? because metal-archives says that Mantas's released in February but there is not any date for Possessed's "Death Metal".

Does anyone actually own all the Death/Mantas rehearsal tapes? There are 12 in total.

It has nothing with this topic but when you look at the debuts of these 3 bands by date: 1 - Possessed - Seven Churches - October 16th, 1985 2 - Necrophagia - Season of the Dead - February 1987 3 - Death - Scream Bloody Gore - May 25th, 1987 and I dont know about the others, maybe there are some others btw these dates too. so when it comes to debuts I think its true that Necrophagia did it because as Marcel said Possessed is somehow thrash metal, or whatever.

Written by vezzy on 31.07.2010 at 18:04 What I think is that some people added stuff there that has never been released and can only be found on vinyl bootlegs. So like with Metallica who only have two demos but MA says there are more.

Death Angel's "The Ultra-Violence" is one of the very good debuts IMO, a thrash metal song with almost 10 minutes, it kicks ass man.

Written by vezzy on 31.07.2010 at 18:18 That is a demo that was never sold. It should be called a promo instead. The only demos Metallica have released are the Power Metal one and No Life Till Leather ones

Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden - One of the best Iron Maiden albums in my opinion. Metallica - Kill'em All - Fucking awesomeness Paradise Lost - Lost Paradise - It's darker than inside of anus. Anthrax - Fistful Of Metal - Deathrider rules!

"The Strength The Sound The Songs" by Volbeat is a brilliant debut IMO, even if Jeff doesnt like it

Written by Sangre Sani on 31.07.2010 at 19:10 Deathrider is an awesome song! xD I wouldnt class the album as a classic myself, because I think it has too much filler. But "Deathrider", "Metal Thrashing Mad", "Panic".... all classic songs. Other awesome debuts: Holy Diver - Dio Left Hand Path - Entombed Symmetric In Design - Scar Symmetry The Haunted - The Haunted Feel The Fire - Overkill Wayward Sons Of Mother Earth - Skyclad Primal Fear - Primal Fear

Written by Angelic Storm on 31.07.2010 at 22:15 Yes, this is indeed very good, but again I much prefer the demo material. Entombed released their best stuff under the Nihilist monicker.

But IMO at least, it was Kam and Mantas who first did the death metal thing. Though I would dispute that Possessed even were death metal. *puts flame suit on*
