5. From what band's song is Bathory rumored to have taken their name?

Answer: Venom

Bathory, the Swedish death metal band, took their name from the Venom song "Countess Bathory".
6. What band did ex-Death drummer Christ Reifert form in San Francisco in 1987? The band's debut album was titled "Severed Survival".

Answer: Autopsy

Autopsy won more acclaim due to their gross exploits than their music. The band had an album cover that was so offensive, Australian authorities not only banned the album from the country, but literally confiscated every copy that arrived into the country. The album was titled "Acts of the Unspeakable".
7. What famous bar can claim some responsibility for the band Prong?

Answer: CBGB's in New York

Tommy Victor (guitars/vocals) was the sound man and Mike Kirkland (bass) was a bouncer at CBGB's in New York when the band was founded.
8. Justin Broadrick was a founding member of Napalm Death, but he left after the debut album. What band did he form that was a early influence of industrial metal?

Answer: Godflesh

Godflesh is from the same city as Black Sabbath: Birmingham, England. The Godflesh debut album "Street Cleaner" borrows extensively from the Napalm Death style, but adds elements of a sound that would become known as industrial metal.
9. One of the most respected founders of death metal is Chuck Schuldiner. What band is he most recognized?

Answer: Death

Chuck Schuldiner founded a band called Mantas in 1983 in the Tampa area of Florida. Later the band renamed themselves Death. Chuck realized that the metal scene was happening on the west coast, so he split with his band and took off for San Francisco.

He hooked up with a band and reformed Death. The album "Scream Bloody Gore" was released. Chuck eventually made his way back to Florida and continued to releae great music. Unfortunately, Chuck Schuldiner passed away on December 13, 2001 due to brain cancer. Chuck was known as everything from genius to dictator, but the fact remains that the death in death metal comes from one band.

The band Death was truly pivotal in the creation of that sound.
10. Metallica is not the only band to suffer the loss of a bass player due to a vehicle crash. What band, most noted for the founding of "jazz-metal" lost their bassist in a Louisiana crash in 1991?

Answer: Atheist

Like Cliff Burton, Roger Patterson died while pinned beneath a vehicle. Also like Burton, Patterson was a founding father of his style of bass guitar. The band Atheist were true innovators of their genre. Patterson played on the critically acclaimed Atheist debut "Piece of Time".
