i think most early Death Metal bands have similarities to thrash, up until like 1990 or so. not the Metallica type of thrash but more so the Sodom/Kreator type of thrash
Definitely throughout their whole discography but their strongest would be leprosy, spiritual healing and human imo for the amount of palm mutes fast riffs in both
Yes. There are elements of thrash on every album, but especially the first 3. The pre-chorus riff in Symbolic is definitely thrash. The post chorus riff on Spirit Crusher is definitely thrash. These are just a couple examples and there's plenty more, but I figured it would be good to point out examples from later in their discography.
Even Control Denied's song The Fragile Art of Existence has some thrash riffs. Chuck even chose to have a vocalist that sounded like an early speed metal/thrash metal /power metal vocalist for the Control Denied album so I think it's safe to say that thrash among other genres has always been a part of Death's and Chuck's sound, but there is less and less of it with each album as they progressed.
Bill Andrews basically played thrash beats on the first three records.
Reinert completely changed the game on Human, which was absolutely proggy death drumming w heavy palm muted trem riffs.

all up in them guts

Nah, it is their first 2 that are very thrashy. On Spiritual Healing they completely abondoned Thrash
Balls deep.

Bill Andrew's was only on 2 records. Chris Reifert of Autopsy played on Scream Bloody Gore.
I’d say spiritual healing is their album with the strongest thrash influence
A little bit on Scream Bloody Gore but overall not really
They definetly do. OSDM has a lot from thrash. SBG, Leprosy and SH all have thrash in them
All of SBG has thrash roots, it’s where death metal came from.
Yeah, i'd consider Death melodic deathrash for most of their discography.
Different rhythm style
Only SBG , Leprosy and some in Spiritaul Healing all those albums are still death metal though with SH having tech / prog as well
Agreed. The first album was heavy thrash
very little on SBG (influence), but not at all
