Burns' CV has some great albums: Peace Sells… but Who's Buying? ( Megadeth ), Game Over and Handle With Care ( Nuclear Assault ), Suicidal Tendencies ( Suicidal Tendencies ) and Extreme Aggression ( Kreator ).
Heavy Culture channel , the producer gave his opinion on which band was responsible for inaugurating death metal, a dispute usually focused on Possession and Death – and Burns worked on the debut albums of both: Seven Churches (1985) and Scream Bloody Gore (1987), respectively.
“Possessed. I think they were the first, so I think it was definitely with Seven Churches ,” Burns replied promptly. “You can argue that it’s not death metal yet, but you know, of course Death is a little different, but Seven Churches was there first, that’s my opinion on that.”
