I first heard of Death in an article in a newspaper - I want to say it was the New York Times. How this band went forgotten for so long is really hard to understand when you hear them. They're incredible - one of the earliest proto-punk / punk bands. Like the MC5 and The Dictators in power and intensity, and with lyrics I'd find so drawn to from The Clash and Stiff Little Fingers . . . as refined as later punk groups like Rancid . . . they're just amazing.
Listen to anything by them. Listen to everything by them. It's all good.
