Death was probably the first death metal band, but I think the first death metal release goes to Possessed.
HMM cant disagree ae, love their albums too

Yeah, Possessed probably released the first death metal album. They even have have a song called Death Metal.

Onslaught was probably the first band to release a song called "Death Metal" on an official release.
