DEATH

DEATH

The East Detroit- based proto-punk outfit Death formed in 1973 around the talents of siblings David, Bobby and Dannis Hackney. The brothers, who had spent previous summers banging out soul and funk jams, began to gravitate toward deafening assault of bands like Black Sabbath, MC%, Alice Cooper, and the Stooges, resulting in a volatile live set and demo that found favor with Detroit's burgeoning underground rock scene. Producer Don Davis (Funkadelic) was called in to helm the bands debut studio sessions, which unearthed a raw, nervy collection of classic rock-tinged, political charged punk singles.
