Death Metal was popular around 1990-1995. With bands like Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse and Deicide.
Cannibal Corpse and Deicide drew much controversial backlash from religious conservative groups with releasing explicit album covers to obscene lyrics and content.
Death Metal's popularity has risen throughout the 2000's especially since more legitamite versions of death metal have started to become popular,
Death Metal's popularity is at Its best right now,
especially with the dominant Melodic Death Metal hybrid subgenre.
Death metal formed out of the heavy metal genre in the middle of 1980. Many early death metal bands like Savatage, Xecutioner, Death, Possessed, Morbid Angel and Master were crafting the death metal sound up until 1983 when Savatage released the first Death Metal album: Sirens.
Basically, out of the thrash metal scene of the mid- to late eighties. Bands like Kreator, Sodom, and most of all, Death, turned thrash metal into a faster, more technical style that became known as death metal (due to the band Death, deemed to be the pioneers of death metal).
As in a popular "mainstream" status, I would say it is quite popular or semi-mainstream but far removed as to what one would call "mainstream" today, however, some bands had exposure in media and in a few movies and others that get awards and sell well. Pioneers such as Death, Possessed and Morbid Angel and other greats such as Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation and Deicide among others have a good following still to this day.
The mid-80's is when it was discovered. Bands like cannibal corpse, and other really intense bands. This was the true DEATH METAL. Many sub-genres formed soon after, as they usually do.
The height of its popularity would be the early to mid-1980s.
