Death was an influential American metal band formed in 1983, often credited with pioneering the death metal genre. Founded by guitarist and vocalist Chuck Schuldiner, the band was known for its complex compositions, aggressive sound, and introspective lyrics, which explored themes of mortality and existence. Death released several groundbreaking albums, including "Human" and "Symbolic," which helped shape the metal scene and inspired countless musicians. The band disbanded in 1998, shortly before Schuldiner's death in 2001, but their legacy continues to influence and resonate within the metal community. They are regarded as one of the greatest metal bands of all time.
