I`m getting through them slowly, rather than listening to just the albums you`ve recommended I`m listening to some of their discographies as well. I`m not only going through the list you first mentioned but also the second list (introduction list) again its surprising how many I don`t know on that list. Most metal genres I can cram listen, but with death metal if I listen to too many albums at the same time, it all merges into one, therefore I`m listening to them slowly.

From the stuff I already knew quite well and adding some of the stuff you`ve recommended, my current top 10 death metal albums looks something like this and in no special order but the 3 highlighted I still think are the best 3 so far:

Immolation- Dawn of Possession
Possessed- Seven Churches
Death- Leprosy
Death- Individual Thought Patterns
Death- Symbolic
Morbid Angel- Covenant
Obituary- Cause of Death
Obituary- The End Complete
Deicide- Legion
Atheist- Atheist

Today I`ve got the Gorguts and I see they are from Quebec which makes them sound interesting and I`m looking forward to hearing their brand of technical death metal. To be honest, I like death metal in it rawest form and in its technical form pretty much the same.

Symbolic is an amazing album.

I'm into bands like

Kaamos
Opeth, though that's debatable as to whether or not they're death metal
Exmortus
Old Sepultura (morbid visions was pretty death metalish)
Damn, I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton... I haven't really been listening to much metal lately so I'm beginning to forget bands, oh well you get the idea.

all female Death Metal..

I would say Opeth could be seen as Death Metal, more so in earlier years. "Orchid" and "Morningrise" owed to Death Metal and Black Metal, "My Arms, Your Hearse" was more Progressive Death Metal.

and of course "Deliverance" as well.

Last 2 has not been as Death Metal oriented, retain a small amount. But their earlier stuff was very in debt to Death Metal.

Honestly, I don't know what I find stranger: spotting a woman in a death metal band, or a black dude. I know the 'spanics and east asians like it, and even some jews, but I guess death metal has evaded the black community pretty well.

The only black guys in death metal i can think of are the two who were in Suffocation & that drummer who was in Diabolic and a bunch of other bands.

Yeah Orchid was definitely more on the black metal side, but you're right MAYH is pretty death metal-ly. That's actually my favorite album of theirs. Deliverance was a bit of a dissapointment to me, just not particularly impressive but definitely on the death metal side.

I'd say seeing a chick in death metal is definitely stranger. I know several black dudes who are into metal, especially thrash and stuff like that which is just a hair under death metal.

Bump...


Man, not usually huge on most melodic death metal, but I enjoy this band




Think this proves to me how his best work is outside of Cannibal Corpse yet again. His vocals on the first 2 Monstrosity albums are amazing, as are the vocals in PoP.. Only thing I really loved with him in Cannibal Corpse was "Vile".

from the recommendations of this thread, i only found Gorguts mesmerising

the rest are touch and go

i mean besides the stuff i already do like like Death and Obituary

[BastardofYoung]

Well that is a start, Gorguts are amazing. Should be in the ranks of Death or Obituary.
