Многие слушатели называют лидера этой американской группы Чака Шулдинера отцом дет-метал, что вполне заслуженно. Основанная им в 1983 году команда называлась поначалу "Mantas". Помимо Чака в нее вошли гитарист Рик Розз и ударник Кэм Ли. Через некоторое музыканты сменили вывеску на "Death". Музыка группы представляла собой крайне экстремальную версию трэша, что стало ее отличительной чертой. В саунде "Death" также чувствовалось влияние " Venom" и " Slayer". В конце 1984 года парни записали демку "Reign Of Terror", благодаря которой "Death" приобрели репутацию одной из самых брутальных групп. Весной 1985-го было записано первое нормальное студийное демо с целью предоставления разным лейблом. После этого состав группы начал меняться. Вскоре место басиста занял Скотт Карлсон, приведший в команду гитариста Мэтта Оливо. Однако, спустя некоторое время из "Death" свалил Кэм Ли, и группе долгое время не удавалось найти подходящего ударника. В результате Скотт и Мэтт оставили Чака в гордом одиночестве.
После продолжительных метаний и экспериментов с другими музыкантами Шулдинер в компании с молодым ударником Крисом Рейфертом решил возродить "Death". Записав очередную демку группа наконец-то получила контракт с лейблом "Combat Records". Вышедший в мае 1987 года, дебютный лонгплей "Scream Bloody Gore" произвел настоящую сенсацию. Он, возможно, стал первым релизом в истории в стиле дет-метал. На заглавной песне "Infernal Death" преобладали мотивы протеста молодежи против общества, против лицемерия, царящего в мире.
"Scream Bloody Gore" стал не столько публичной декларацией взглядов и принципов, но скорее наполненным ужасом путешествием, вроде того, которое читатели совершают, беря в руки мистическую беллетристику или взирая на экран кинотеатра, стремясь уйти от рутинности существования. Пластинка пользовалась успехом, но несмотря на это Шулдинер не был удовлетворен сделанным. Он распустил этот состав и вернулся во Флориду. В то время бывшие партнеры Чака - Розз и Ли работали в "Massacre". Когда Ли ушел оттуда, Чак перетащил оставшихся членов этой команды к себе в "Death". В этом составе группа записала свой знаменитый альбома "Leprosy", который вышел в свет в 1988 году. В музыкальном плане этот диск был большим шагом вперед. Заглавный трек был основан на событиях фильма Джона Карпентера "Туман", в котором рассказывается о колонии людей, больных проказой. В 1989 году после европейского тура Розз был выдворен из состава. Сначала его сменил Пол Масвидал, а затем на месте гитариста оказался Джеймс Мерфи. С его помощью в начале 1990 года был выпущен альбом "Spiritual Healing" - самый лучший в дискографии "Death".
Несмотря на стремление к мелодичности, группа осталась верна своему агрессивному стилю. Мерфи, внесщий немалый вклад в создание этого альбома незамедлительно покинул группу, а на его месте опять оказался Масвидал. В том же 1990-м "Death" совершили европейское турне без своего лидера с вокалистом Луисом Каррисалезом. Тур прошел очень успешно и разозлившийся Чак начал разборки со своей командой, в результате чего вывеска "Death" осталась за ним.
В 1991 году он собрал новый состав с участием басиста Стива Диджорджио и ударника Шона Рейнхарта. В роли гитариста опять остался Масвидал. Техника группы значительно возросла, что можно было почувствовать на альбоме "Human". Перед последовавшим туром ушел Диджорджио, и его в срочном порядке заменили на Скотта Карино. От следующего диска повеяло энергией и динамизмом, музыкально он охватил широкий спектр от нео-прогрессив до сложных металл-композиций. Тем временем Шулдинер вырвался вперед жестким произведением "Individual Thought Patterns", это был уже пятый релиз "Death" на инди-лейбле "Relativity". За ударными на сей раз сидел Ген Хоглан (экс-" Dark Angel"), на второй гитаре играл Энди Ларок, а Джорджио снова взялся за басуху. Несмотря на продолжавшиеся смены состава группой записывались альбомы, пользовавшиеся стабильным спросом. Спустя восемь лет после появления на сцене "Death" не сбавили темпа выпустив "Symbolic". В 1998-м "Death" ушлис "Roadrunner" на "Nuclear Blast", выпустивтам "Sound of Perseverance". В записи этого альбома приняли участие гитарист Шеннон Хэмм и ударник Ричард Кристи.
После записи "Symbolic" Чак занялся побочными проектами, имеющими мало общего с дет, но "The Sound..." был записан в том же духе, что не могло не радовать фанов. В 1999 году у Шулдинера обнаружилась опухоль мозга, в связи с чем он приостановил свою деятельность. Однако спустя некоторое время он нашел в себе силы для работы и команда выпустила концертник "Live In L.A. (Death & Raw)". Но 13 декабря 2001 года Смерть давшая название его группе настигла Чака и "Death" как группа прекратила свое существование.
