Isn’t Death Metal kinda...newer than LD? There’s probably a Slayer LD, does that count?
What I mean is, if your band formed in 1990 and the first release was a 7” they made 250 copies of then you were not a band that would have been in a position to release even a VHS let alone an LD. Virtually every music LD was issued on a major label and during LD’s life death metal had little to no recognition from mainstream society and therefor wouldn’t be able to come up with the $250,000+ it would take to properly film a concert and get it pressed. Death metal bands are poor, and many from countries where LD didn’t exist.
The main reason I don’t have many music LDs is that I was never really into Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Winger, Kenny G, Motley Crüe etc and that’s the majority of what exists; mainstream crapola. When there are LDs of timeless acts like Chet Baker or The Damned they are borderline embarrassing late period stuff or in the case of New Order and The KLF...rotters.
If you were to reduce it to just “metal” you’ll find a lot of JP issues of terrible very very bad MTV bands like Bullet Boys or Poison but to my knowledge no Helloween, Gamma Ray...there must be good Maiden LDs, right?

Heavy got all the mainstream groups (Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Judas Priest, Motorhead, X Japan, WASP, AC/DC, etc.). Less popular style/bands were probably more at home on audio and VHS tapes for the low cost of replication. Julien

I think Metallica has only like three unique titles overall?
