Celtic Frost's member Chuck Schuldiner has been referred as the father of death metal. In the late 1980s and early 1990s bands like Morbid Angel and Possessed began to rise up from the underground community.

This genre has been know to have complex music. With snarls, grunts and growl vocals will overlap the fast tempo and complex structure of death metal music. This music has always been known for the style of singing. The deep bass growls and harmonic singing has been in sense the beginning.
