Death metal

Death is a Death metal act. Their sound grew out of Mercyful Fate, Nevermore, Relapse Records, Repulsion and Paul Masvidal. Those roots explain a lot about how Death arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Control Denied, Morbid Angel, Cryptopsy, Possessed and Nile, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Probot, Jinjer, Diablo, Omnium Gatherum and Cannibal Corpse, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 63 connections around Death, reaching back through Mercyful Fate and forward to Probot.
