The Story

Formed1983OriginUnited StatesGenredeath metalLabelCombat Records, Nuclear BlastMembersChuck Schuldiner

Death is an American death metal band from the United States, active since 1983 and fronted by guitarist Chuck Schuldiner. Emerging from the burgeoning Florida death metal scene, they are often credited with shaping the genre's aggressive sound. Their music features intricate guitar work, guttural vocals, and complex arrangements—elements that would become hallmarks of death metal. Their 1987 debut album, “Scream Bloody Gore,” is often cited as a foundational record, paving the way for countless bands that followed. With tracks like “Pull the Plug,” Death’s music offers a raw, unfiltered exploration of life and mortality, leaving a lasting impact on metal’s evolution.
