Depends:

If you're looking at substance, one would arguably consider Black Sabbath. Modern style, on the other hand, would probably usher in the likes of Slayer.

Don kno...
Venom were black metal. Obituary were more thrash.
Maybe Mayhem or Darkthrone

It's pretty tough to say....while Nasum and Burzum started off with Black Metal being their main prowess, the fall-out reached far to create bands like Broken Hope and Suffocation. But then again, I offer the glory to Mayhem as the originator or the people who triggered it off.

Difficult to trace.. but the oldest bands I can think of are Slayer and Morbid Angel.. but Slayer cannot be classified as pure death metal, although they might have been in the transition period which started it.
