"While death metal was made in the ’80s, it hit hardest in the early to mid-’90s — when metal itself seemed in danger of extermination by way of hair-spray fumes billowing out from the Sunset Strip like nuclear fallout, and the rise of that dread specter: grunge. Florida’s contribution came by way of Death (originally Mantas), the aforementioned trifecta, Obituary, and more, who unleashed classic albums, toured like beasts of burden, and burned their mark into a scene that many had left for dead."
