I`m surprised this group doesn`t get more attention on these boards, because without doubt Death were one of the essential bands in the whole extreme metal movement and defined what death metal was all about. Chuck Schuldiner could run rings around a huge amount of metal guitarists and their move into more technical and progressive metal was equally amazing and they were on a par with Atheist on the progressive side on things.

There is also a lot of debate over their best albums and that`s largely a sign that all their albums were good but I slightly prefer the later material.

Symbolic> Individual Thought Patterns> Leprosy> Sound of Perseverance> Human> Scream Bloody Gore> Spiritual Healing.
