Death metal - the origins

Was this it? The dance on 45 secs is one the devil would worship.

If this wasn't it, when was it?

Never mind the dancing, the opening seconds of the song reminded me with some vigor that the volume on my laptop was set to 11.

Emergence and early history
English heavy metal band Venom, from Newcastle, crystallized the elements of what later became known as thrash metal, death metal and black metal, with their 1981 album Welcome to Hell.[14] Their dark, blistering sound, harsh vocals, and macabre, proudly Satanic imagery proved a major inspiration for extreme metal bands.[15] Another highly influential band, Slayer, formed in 1981. Although the band was a thrash metal act, Slayer's music was more violent than their thrash contemporaries Metallica, Megadeth and Exodus.[16] Their breakneck speed and instrumental prowess combined with lyrics about death, violence, war and Satanism won Slayer a rabid cult following.[17] According to Allmusic, Slayer's third album Reign in Blood "inspired the entire death metal genre".[18] It had a big impact on the genre leaders.[16]

The accepted is Slayer at commercial, but its a bit of Black Sabbath, Motorhead (who invented speed metal with Overkill and the double base Drums) and any of the 70's rock and metal bands as they all played a part.
