^ No, in fact when they started (released their debut) I wasn't a big death metal fan anymore but my friend still was so indtroduced this band to me. In early 2000's I wasn't into metal at all. And Death....well, in 1990 they appeared to be fresh. I'm sentimental.

I've heard their first 4 albums. Nothing interesting to me. It's not like you record a long song and it's always good.

Well, there you go.
 Still--you can't judge a band by its first album (at least, not ones with over a decade of music). I wouldn't be a Death fan if I did that.

Bathory released Twilight Of The Gods in 1991 4 years before Opeth debut album. |

I think folk was fairly new to death metal at the time. It had probably been done in black metal by then, though, so yeah. Nothing new when they started.

Not wrong, Andy played on Individual Thought Patterns and brought his unique style that pushed Death forward. Opeth were later and they actually didn't show anything new at the time they started.

And Death started as a thrash-y and punk-y band with unique-at-the-time vocals. Both kept improving and drawing influences from other genres and are far more refined than when they started.
Also, wrong guitarist! Meant Rick Rozz.  Edited by HemispheresOfXanadu - January 17 2014 at 12:20 |

Andy LaRocque was widely known as King Diamond guitarist, his style definitely developed to the point of extreme. Opeth were just kids playing metal.

Wasn't talking about that so much as posting stuff like that isn't going to make anyone change or regret their vote. =P
And Chuck, Masdival, LaRouque etc. played a very different style of death metal in Death than Akerfeldt and Lindgren in Opeth. I don't think Chuck could have written an Opeth song, and Akerfeldt couldn't have written a Death song. If that makes sense.

The thing someone is better/worse guitarist isn't an opinion.

Death had better guitarists than Opeth. Opeth is not even close.

Opeth is the more developed metal sound, and more melodic. Still Life is the only Death Metal album that I'd give 4/5 stars to, and the only one I've really considered buying

Opeth because the perform more melodic prog tunes as well as the metal.

It's assumed that if one doesn't like either of the bands, one would simply refrain from participating...or commenting.

How come these polls rarely have 'none of the above'?

Not a huge fan of either but if I were forced at gunpoint I would choose Death (ha! get it?)
