Bullshit. Early Sepultura while mostly death is also equal parts black (both genres were being developed and undifferentiated at that time but we can see in hindsight now). Masters Hammer and Root had black metal before 1990. Samael had demo material before 90. I am sure I can probably find some greek bm from pre 90s too. And regarding Sarcofago while I consider them mostly death metal, INRI has black metal in it. I disagree with Celtic Frost as just thrash. Its a bit unique but the clearest would be experimental doom and a precursor to some death metal. And if your comparison is with the big norwegian bands, while Von and Profanatica 's earliest material is post 1990, it still predates the first black metal releases from the norwegian bands. Same for Mystifier.
