i found out about this other early black punk band called pure hell that's really good, their lp was recorded in '78 but released recently. i actually think they're much more punk than death, and apparently were playing even earlier. death got more press because i think they're still performing in their original style while pure hell went metal. check this out:
also, i just heard keith morris' new band called off! which is modeled after early black flag and it's pretty great. i wish greg ginn was involved, but it's the best new punk i've heard by a mile.
