Notable? GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 08:24, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Despite the large amount of books and other sources cited, I question their notability. The article itself has "improve references" and "notability" tags on it. Septic Death were a short-lived, underground thrashcore/hardcore punk band. They were great, but I don't think they qualify for encyclopedic inclusion. Most of the sources cited are not about the band, they are just mostly mentioned in relation about a genre/other bands. For example, I opened one of the cited books and all of the coverage about them was just their name listed among other bands (like this: "Cro-Mags, Septic Death, Samiam, etc...") I don't consider that in-depth coverage. I also tried the other books but they did not even open to me. I just found descriptions of the books themselves. Some of the other sources include Discogs and interviews which do not contribute to notability either. I also did a Google search, first with just the name of the band, then I searched for some of their albums, all I found were the usual trash like streaming service entries, youtube videos, retail sites, databases and lots of blogs. So, to summarize, I think they are not notable for Wikipedia. But prove me wrong! GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 08:18, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect to Pushead. With a few minor exceptions involving modern covers of some of their songs, this band was only ever noticed as a brief side project by the notable artist Pushead. The band achieved little on their own and do not inherit the notability earned by one member in a different line of work. Note that Pushead's article already has a brief "Septic Death" section that lacks sources, and some content could be merged from this article to there, if it is reliable and verifiable.
