Huh? Death is older than Sepultura and the same age as Possessed. I fail to see how they're "second wave".

Yeah, never thought Death Metal had a 2nd Wave, it was pretty much one tidal wave, that got more progressive and technical with time. Maybe there's some confusion with the second wave of black metal, since Sepultura was considered a first wave BM band.

I've never heard Sepultura described as black metal. I don't really see how the label would fit them.

Give "Bestial Devastation" and "Morbid Vision" a listen. It was before Kisser joined up with them. They were doing the DYI, low-fi, dark Satanic, horns up thing, comfortably placing them in league with Venom, Celtic Frost and Bathory.

Death predated Sepultura and Possessed.

Hellhammer and Death were around from the start (Death under the name Mantas).

That could make them proto-death metal

plus "Beastial Devestation" is kinda bad. Not Sepultura's crowning achievement. Sure it was an inspiration to Death Metal, but subtract the inspiration and left with a pretty awful release.

Keep in mind it was recorded in two days, and the band members couldn't speak English yet. They had a friend who could speak the language (sort of) translate for them so some of their lyrics on that EP aren't even grammatically correct. It's so strange to listen to early Sepultura and then pop in Chaos or Roots. It's like two completely different bands.

yeah. in that regard it is interesting. But they were better as a Thrash band "Schizophrenia", "Beneath the Remains" and "Arise" was the holy trilogy for them.
