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.

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.

What is a good death metal band?

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
