Black Death is an American band that has been noted as the "first all-African-American heavy metal band". The group were mentioned in Ian Christe's book Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal, and in Rock 'n' Roll and the Cleveland Connection by Deanna R. Adams as "one of the only, if not the only, all-black metal bands in the country" in 1987.
