The early thrashy death metal records were bands putting their own spin on what Slayer did. Another reason is because of the "death and destruction" themes Slayer utilized in their lyrics, which was an influence on death metal bands.
But no, you can't exactly call them death metal.

Death metal can exist as a tag, but the 2nd tag is significant as it effects pie chart distribution just as much as the 1st tag, the 3rd tag is for descriptive/guidance purposes only and is otherwise insignificant.

DGD take a lot of ideas from early 2000s Prog/Math Rock induced Post-Hardcore bands so thats prob why.

yeah DGD has the technicality and odd time signatures present in prog, so even though it's mostly math/post-hardcore, I think it's okay to lightly use the term prog in some cases

Yeah dgd takes a lot of influence from shit but also heavily inspired by smegma. You can hear traces of butt in their early stuff but that’s mostly because Santorum.

Slayer aren't DM but thrash and DM exist on a spectrum and death/thrash was pretty common in the late 1980s. Early Sepultura is a clear example, as well as other more obscure bands like Possessed, Nasty Savage, Incubus/Oppobrium, etc.
The same goes for thrash and crossover/hardcore; Slayer are more on the thrash side but something like Suicidal Tendencies is far more hardcore oriented. This is what made the whole "is metalcore metal" debate so complicated, since the answer is "sometimes". Shadows Fall yes, Asking Alexandria no.

"They were a huge influence on the death metal scene"
So true! The first Sadistik Exektution LP sounds a lot like Slayer - and that is one of the first DM albums.

@Egarran Off the top of my head, probably Payback. Some of those riffs could easily pass for DM, though obviously DM was well established by then.
@garas SadEx's debut is 1991, I wouldn't say that's very early for DM. First DM album is either Possessed (1985) or Death (1987) depending on who you ask. By 1991 Death had 4 albums out and the genre was pretty well established. Most of these bands were massively influenced by Slayer though no doubt, especially given how thrashy most early DM is.

Slayer were influenced by Death before Death even made a demo tape

@IronyIsADeadScene It was released in '91, but the truth is: they recorded the debut in February of '88. (Plus, their demo is from '87!) Otherwise I agree on Possessed's & Death's case.

@garas Death had demos in 1984, but this is way off topic.
@FukkenKrist Was that the 1985 tour?

Dude, I never said it was the very first one. I said: "one of the first DM albums" which is not wrong, but whatever...
