DEATH

[PonyB]

An African American three-piece tour de force from Detroit, they recorded seven songs including these two in 1976.
The label lost interest when they wouldn't change their name.
Some have labelled them, 'proto-punk'.
Not sure about that.
What do you think?

I've heard of them (mostly because they had the same name as the band below). I'm hearing some elements that would eventually show up in metal as well. Not bad.

While those guys didn't want to change their name, Chuck Shuldiner regretted naming his band Death as he felt it was limiting when he wanted to branch out of the death metal scene.

I saw a documentary about them a few years ago but dont remember where. But it was really interesting stuff

I'll have to look for that, thanks.

Sounds like a 70’s rock band.
