Immediate Source of Acquisition
The Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound acquired the Scandinavian Death Metal Collection
from Sonoma State University in 2013. Charlie Eidem compiled the collection.
This collection is arranged into three series: Posters, Promotional material, and Recorded
sound.
Death metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music. Beginning in the mid-1980s in the United
States with Florida-based bands Death, Obituary, and Morbid Angel, death metal gained
popularity in underground music scenes throughout the world, with a strong presence in
Scandinavian countries including Sweden and Norway.
