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.

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

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.

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.

^ 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.

Oh wow, in my opinion you haven't heard their best work. Not like you're obligated to check it out or anything, but just sayin'.

well, yes it is BUT
There probably isn't a metal guitarist on the planet who would claim that Opeth's guitarists were better than Death's... Opeth's guitarists included. |

And I don't think many people are fatheaded enough to claim that they're better than those that influenced them.

Very interesting poll! I don't know Death enough to choose but both are excellent.

Steve Vai is a better guitarist than Angus & Malcolm combined. I'd still rather listen to AC/DC though. The Beatles were pretty average musicians even by the standards of their day, and look at the love they get. It's not always about how good you are, musicianship-wise.

I voted Death, although both are very close to my heart. |
