Unleashed are probably my favorite death metal band from Sweden; not groundbreaking, but solid riffs and they certainly had an ear for when to turn polyrhythms into monorhythms for effect. Solid band.
Demilich are great, of course; Nespithe is a fun album to wrap your head around. The evil toad vocals are memorable, but I just really enjoy how they took advantage of the three different chanels for three different guitar parts, and a drummer that didn't just ceaselessly kick**** his drum kit.
.....I used to listen to quite a bit of death metal when I was younger, now I listen to more black. What can I say, I found a few albums I thought were the bees knees, and listened to them relentlessly. The newer style, bands like Origin, political Dying Fetus, just don't do it for me unless I'm in a goofy mood, and the throwback bands like Jungle Rot are good and all, but I feel like I've already heard the songs before.
