A new genre was born in heavy metal land. Not only from America, but also from Europe. In the late eighties and early nineties, many bands released classical albums. Soon there followed more bands like, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Necrophagia and Autopsy. This band that changed their name to Death in ’85 is recognized as one of the founders of the Death Metal. Which stretched the sound of Possessed a bit further. Meanwhile, an other band was formed in Orlando Florida called Mantas. With their debut album Seven Chruches, they were a link between Thrash metal and the later Death Metal. In ’83 the band Possessed was founded in LA California. Aside from starting the genre this list is based on, the music they make is simply beautiful. Death is the band that started death metal plain and simple. Chuck Schuldiner is the father of death metal for a reason. An American band that was founded in ’81 and was heavily inspired by Venom, but the boundaries went even further in terms of energy and speed. Even if Death lacked all the other criteria (which they don’t) they still are the most important band in death metal history. They were a source of inspiration for countless bands, such as Slayer. With a blistering sound and harsh vocals.
By far the meanest boy from the NWOBHM class. Called the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM). At the end of the 70s inspired by the energy and the success of the punk music, there was a new batch of bands. Their heavy metal music interspersed with punk rock gave a unique sound. The band Motorhead in the mid-1970s also had an important influence on the later extreme metal. In the early 1970s, their horror and occult inscribed texts and music was a form that was exploring the border. A band with low tuned dark riffs and dark lyrics.
