318 bands on Metal TV
Death metal took thrash's speed and aggression and pushed everything further: down-tuned riffs, blast beats, growled vocals and dense, technical songwriting. It came together in the late 1980s, around Florida bands like Death, Morbid Angel and Obituary and a Swedish scene led by Entombed and Dismember, and has since spawned everything from old-school brutality to technical, progressive and cavernous offshoots.
