Where speed metal and hardcore warned us of the apocalypse, death metal assumed it as society wailed on toward demise with a whimper and not any drastic warning-type motion. Civilization has become decadent and valueless, and escaping the cycle of rebellion death metal projects a world before the moralization of values, in which personal values can triumph. Death metal denies inherent value in tone and ideal, and deconstructs the overbearing sense of world and social bounds around us with primal music bearing complexity in texture and theme. The music and lifestyles of the death metal genre employ intuition and logic to replace deconstructed illusion with structuralist sensibility and a sensitivity toward existential value. Unlike most music which focuses on humanist or romantic themes, death metal articulates the lawless extremity of nature.

Within the metal genre, "technical" death metal or "math metal" as a whole would be the most complex. Followed by progressive metal.
death metal is not the same as screamo death metal came first so if anything screamo could be considered a type of death metal but not the other way around
This question can be a bit more ambiguous than you realise. Out of all the band which played Death Metal, Sepultura would be it. However, none of the albums they released during their Death Metal period would be particularly high grossing albums. Out of straightforward, true-to-form Death Metal bands, who haven't deviated away from it, Cannibal Corpse would be the band. As for the so-called Melodeath bands, they're irrelevant.
Death - metal band - ended in 2001.

It would have to be melodic death metal as it is a bit more commercially accessible than the other genres with deathcore close behind and just recently maybe even defeating melodic death metal by a margin.
There are many great death metal bands out there, it depends on the type you like. Not all death metal is the same. Some people like Morbid Angel, but I prefer Cannibal Corpse. I would recommend Cannibal Corpse, listen to "Evisceration Plague" or "Priests of Sodom" (songs). A good place to find what death metal bands you like would be to listen to Death FM, an online radio station. The listeners chose what is played. "Death" is an excellent band Deicide is good too
Chemical Yes. The metal is being converted to an oxide of that metal. Most would (correctly) describe this as a chemical change, but physics has a lot to do with how that happens.
Yes, the album "Unseen" is death metal.

Slipknot Slipknot are not 'death metal' they are nu metal. You want a 'death metal' band look into ABACABB, Nile or Job for a Cowboy. Also try The Black Dahlia Murder they are Melodic death metal.
