Naw. I have not been around for some time though. Just been lazy. I am going to try and be around more when I can be. I have not forgotten all the people.

If Sodom's first album is black metal then so is Morbid Visions. Back then distinguishing between thrash metal, black metal, and early death metal was kind of arbitrary. To me early black metal (i.e. not Norwegian black metal) is like thrash's ugly cousin. They were the bands that played uglier, noisier, and sloppier than Metallica and Anthrax and their ilk and had a clear link to Venom. Bathory, Hellhammer, NME, Sarcofago, and early Sepultura all fit that bill as far as I'm concerned.

I always thought early Slayer, like on Hell Awaits even sounded like first generation black metal tbh. You're right though, black metal has always been noted for it's raw production style, and I would definitely say early Sepultura is closer to black metal than anything else. |

And the reason death metal and black metal could be almost indistinguishable in the eighties was because they were coming from the same influences (such as Venom and Hellhammer). Even in the late eighties when death metal was more defined they still had traces of that sound. Look at Obituary and how obviously influenced by Celtic Frost they were.

Even the grindcore stuff towards the end of the 80s like Napalm Death and Repulsion has similar characteristics to black metal/death metal/thrash metal. With that said, I can predict what a band is going to be labeled as upon first listen with a pretty decent success rate, even if the differences are subtle. |
