Of course Possessed are Death Metal they even made up the name! I hate when people say they're not death metal. They are death metal just evolved (or devolved-depends on POV) into what it is today.

Old school Death Metal is probably my favourite death metal to listen to.
Impetigo
Pungent Stench
Autopsy
Master
Death
Incantation
Immolation
Possessed
Athiest
Morbid Angel
Dismember
Gorguts
Obituary
Massacre
Slaughter
Cannibal Corpse (Barnes Era)
Deicide

Debateable. You can call them death metal all you like, but their sound is somewhat similar to an early Kreator or Destruction record.

I think we all know who created death metal, the prince of darkness. And no, I am not reffering to ozzy.

So does that mean Venom isn't Black Metal? Cause Venom don't sound like Carpathian Forest or Immortal.

But if you REALLY want to be picky then I would say Death started it.

Agreed. Sure, they may have invented the term death metal, but they sound much more thrashy to me. If they didn`t have that one song called death metal , I somehow dubt they would be labeled anything but a thrash band.

Oh, best old school DM band? Death or Gorgtus for me.

Possessed started it all, not just because of that song, but because bands like Death and such took after everything they did. Super harsh vocals, skank beats, death/macabre/Satan/horror-themed lyrics. Definately death metal.

Only the 1st possessed was DM, Eyes of Horror was just Slayer-esque thrash.

Nihilist/Entombed haven't been mentioned yet I think.

Dismember aren't that oldschool, neither are Suffo.


Repulsion need to be mentioned even if they're a grind band(they're older than ND), they were one of the first recognized bands that used blastbeats prominently, which led to so many bands like CC, Terrorizer, Morbid Angel, and such using them a lot too.

Most of my fav. bands have been mentioned already, great going lads.

Their latest album does indeed. Their first was a goregrind classic. They are not even remotely death metal.
