how effective do you all think myspace is? I know there are many other forums and sites out there which promotes un sighned artists. Myspace being the most visited. How much of an impact do you think it makes on spreading band awareness? Has anyone here ever bought an album from a band on myspace? I have bought several directly from the bands, and actually made friends with a few others. I think its great thing, but am not sure how much it helps. Even though My chemical crap made a name for themselves arguably soley due to myspace

I wouldn't say created.
Laid the path, maybe. Like Slayer or whatever.
Death etc could be credited as creators.

Seven Churches by Possessed is the first death metal album, I haven't really heard another candidate. Larry Lalonde being the guitar player and taught by Satriani gives a running joke amongst me and my friends that Satch created death metal.
However, I would agree that Death are probably the greatest pioneers. Death and Morbid Angel. Altars of Madness and Human are fairly quintessential death metal.
