Metal Ken said:The first Death Metal band is Possessed. they formed in 1983, and released their first full length album in 1985. They coined the term "death metal" to my knowledge, with a song by the same name. Their first demo, in 1984 was titled "Death Metal" as well.
Also worth noting, thier guitar player was Larry LaLonde of Primus fame.
Woth noting also: Joe Satriani produced their EP, "Eyes Of Horror"
Hahaha, that's awesome. I'd LOVE to hear his thoughts on that experience...
