Along with Death's demo Infernal Death, Reign of Terror "influenced the Death metal scene tremendously", as "their low and guttural nature would become the staple of the genre".[1] Author Ian Christe, in his book Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal, noted that Death's demos "became as heavily shared by tape traders as any well-established act in metal".[2]

gollark: Did you know? Currently, one of our markets is trading every particle in the universe, and all combinations of particles in the universe, and all possible future particles in the universe, and all possible derivatives of them.
gollark: You mean hasn't not submitted?
gollark: As a fun side effect, the intense capitalism generated by our hyperfast marketization engines can be concentrated further to cause communist revolutions in our various energy generation turbines.
