I'd say it started being commercialised and popularised in 1989, when record companies picked up all the death metal bands and released their records. Carcass, Pestilence, Bolt Thrower, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Autopsy, Atheist, 1989 was definitely the breakthrough year for the genre.
Death metal is the final word where you gonna go" Idk maybe start a band with edgy teenagers and record songs in a basement and name it after a certain venom album
Holy shitass...I remember watching this when it was aired!!! I thought back then Nicke Andersson was drunk or high; but now I know it was just his Swedish accent,
When I was a kid I thought death netal bands were serious and actually promoted murder and rape and evil stuff. Like they wanted people to do that stuff sinilar to how I thought gangster rappers were in real gangs and did real crimes and shot people.
