Death, formed in Detroit in 1971 by brothers Bobby, David, and Dannis Hackney, are pioneers of proto-punk—years ahead of the movement’s explosion. Blending raw rock energy with funk and soul influences, their sound challenged genres and expectations in the early ’70s. Long overlooked, Death gained renewed recognition decades later with the release of *...For the Whole World to See*, now celebrated as a groundbreaking record that helped shape punk’s origins and inspired a new generation of independent musicians.
