Death - metal band - ended in 2001.
The band Death litterally invented death metal
Children of Bodom isn't thrash metal. It's melodic death metal. They are influenced by thrash, though.
They are a heavy metal experimental rock band. Basically a band with a really heavy sound, but they mix various genres. From death metal to soul. But, alternative experimental metal suits them best.
This question can be a bit more ambiguous than you realise. Out of all the band which played Death Metal, Sepultura would be it. However, none of the albums they released during their Death Metal period would be particularly high grossing albums. Out of straightforward, true-to-form Death Metal bands, who haven't deviated away from it, Cannibal Corpse would be the band. As for the so-called Melodeath bands, they're irrelevant.
None other than Death itself.
