It depends on the size of the label and the band during what period. As someone said, most late 80's through 90's bands usually had cassette and disc only. There was no point and profit in printing Death HUMAN on vinyl, because that market isn't listening to death metal for the fidelity, I assure you. You can't hear sh*t in those mixes anyway, lol. Cassettes were extremely dominant into the mid and even late 90's for certain stuff, despite discs. Remember getting hip hop singles on cassette in 1997? I do. I also remember the CD versions feeling off limits due to costs.

That's funny....I always wonder who buys all the death metal stuff on LPs, many record stores I go to have a ton of death metal and the owners tell me they sell the krappt out of it. Your right, sonically it must be just ok but man those are some of the nicest packages around especially the colored/splatter records they make, and the artwork is very cool!
