Metal is something Europe should apologize for if it started there.
There are many great metal bands from Europe...Carcass, Entombed, Napalm Death, to name a few, but no place on Earth (including the rest of America combined with the world) can compete with Tampa, Florida - The Death Metal capital of the world. Morbid Angel, Obituary, Death, Cannibal Corpse, Trivium, Deicide, and even the world's greatest record store, Ace's Records.

Okay, let's compare. Nobody formed after 1990 counts, since, like I said in another post, the world didn't begin in 1990. Fair enough?
I already gave Europe Carcass, Entombed, and Napalm Death.
I'm just asking, as far as pioneering death metal, if anybody can beat Tampa, Florida. I'll throw Trivium out since they were formed after 1990. And YES, it does matter that they were after 1990 because death metal formed in the early '80's and I'll be damned if I'm going to award the title to any area that wasn't a major part during its conception.
That leaves Tampa, Florida with:
Cannibal Corpse
Morbid Angel
Obituary
Death (the genre's true pioneers)
Deicide
Enough said. That collective list is impossible to beat.
BTW, Slayer (not death metal) is from L.A.
