Which Death Metal band?[edit]

Pleasure to kill along with Reign in blood defined the Death metal genre,but i know that which bands were influenced by Slayer(examples:Death,Obituary,Morbid Angel,Deicide,Sepultura) but i dont know and most of people dont know which bands were influenced by Kreator,all i know is that Cannibal Corpse cited them as an influence in their sound,also i think that Kreator main page needs an "Legacy article" at the bottom of their page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GREYBOYY (talk • contribs) 12:48, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proto-death metal[edit]

i added proto-death metal to the genres,i had already added death metal to genres after reading Allmusic review ^[1] but proto-death metal is better because he had said proto-death album.

Month of release: April?[edit]

I have seen April, May, August and November listed in this article as the month of release in 1986. These months show up for a while and then someone changes to another one. I think we need to look at the sources and see what is the most authoritative.

The book Metal: The Definitive Guide says on page 344 that the album was released in April 1986, followed in short order by Flag of Hate EP in August. The book was written by Garry Sharpe-Young and published in 2007. One thing I look for in references is whether they might have lifted their information from Wikipedia: a problem called circular reporting. Garry Sharpe-Young could not have picked up the month of April from this Wikipedia article because during 2007 this article gave no month for a little while, then it said November for most of the year. So the book Metal: The Definitive Guide does not have a circular reporting problem.

The website of the label Nuclear Blast says "Released on: 1986-04-01" but it's a bare listing, not fleshed out in prose.[1] They date Flag of Hate as August 1, 1986.[2] So they agree with Garry Sharpe-Young on both months. I would not trust that both albums were released exactly on the first day of the month, but it's possible. It might be a digital artifact from entering the month without a day, and the software fills in the day. Binksternet (talk) 04:03, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
