get "Considered Dead" it is my favorite as well.. Though I usually recommend TEofS to start with.

Man, I'm just now listening to The Karelian Isthmus. It's very refreshing. Just another band to add to my extensive dm library, even if they don't play dm anymore. |
i really ought to listen to more of this sub-genre besides melodeath

Listen to regular death metal, it's the best. And death/doom is f'ing awesome.

the early stuff I didn't really like much, besides the dissonant guitar, but i love the melodic later stuff |

Brave Murder Day- Katatonia The Angel and the Dark River- My Dying Bride Shades of God- Paradise Lost And for a more modern flavor: The Morning Never Came- Swallow the Sun All of these albums are pretty representative of the genre, however many of these bands exchanged their death/doom roots for a more accessible symphonic/alt/gothic rock hybrid that I find at times to be just as good if not better than the early stuff. |

Any of you guys listen to Lykathea Aflame at all? They only released one album before changing their lineup and their name, but man that one album, Elvenefris, is really good. Their style mixes some middle eastern influences (far more seamlessly than Nile imo) and a sizable dollop of Killing Joke-esque post-punk with death metal. The result is not only astonishingly technical but it evokes emotions not common in death metal: I find a lot of their songs surprisingly bittersweet sounding for example. Oh and both the drummer and guitarist are not only very technically proficient but they are two of the most unique death metal musicians I've heard. Anyway, well worth a listen if you haven't heard them before.
