In the mid-to-late 1980s, death metal was a fringe genre, reserved for underground bands. Then, in the early 1990s, bands like Death, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, and a handful of other American bands, mainly from Florida and the East Coast, began to gain popularity. At the same time, on the opposite continent, in the UK, bands like Carcass, Benediction, and Napalm Death were developing their own death metal styles. Across the North Sea in Scandinavia, bands like Entombed, Therion, and At the Gates all added their own unique twist. By this time, the rest of the world had embraced death metal, and it had become a reality. Since then, trends in heavy metal have waxed and waned, but death metal has stayed the course and held its own. Perhaps no genre has evolved more organically, with a constantly evolving fanbase and a steady increase in the number of bands. Today, despite being fragmented and encompassing a multitude of subgenres, death metal has never been more alive.
