Question - I don't listen to death metal, but I would like to start exploring the genre. What are some must have classics that I should start with?

My all-time favorites are:

Mortification: Scrolls of the Megilloth
Extol: Undeceived
Death: Symbolic and The Sound of Perseverance (many wouldn't consider these two death metal, though. More brutal, progressive thrash).

Ya know I really need to get back into exploring some death metal I missed out on over the years. I don't know that it'll ever be my favorite sub-genre but there are a few bands I still listen to regularly that I never tire of.

Such as these guys who I see mentioned by several people here and if you think you'd like a bit o' doom in your death metal I certainly recommend 'em :

Almost a perfect list... there's just a few I'd add in.

Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Death - Symbolic (I know you included Spiritual Healing, but I feel Symbolic is more "essential")
Gorguts - Erosion of Sanity
Cynic - Focus (not really pure death metal, but I still consider it essential to the scene)
Brutality - Screams of Anguish
Carcass - Necroticism

And I'd throw this one in just for shits and giggles (and cos I really like it)
Necrophagist - Epitaph, even though it's wanky tech death.

And now all my recommendations seem really generic, hahaa.

Dumping some stuff I find to be good "intro" material to their respective genres.
Slaughter of The Soul is a really accessible release among At The Gates' discography, and melodic death metal as a whole; catchy and melodic without losing any sense of the heaviness behind it.
Hypocrisy can be described the same way to a certain degree; but with their own flair.



Whatever its called, slam, brutal death metal, whatever. Disfiguring the Goddess brings a good bit of technicality and songwriting skill to the table that initially let me look past the completely unintelligible vocals to get into the genre as a whole. Plus, being a little melodic at times doesn't hurt.


May post more as examples come to mind.

Disfiguring the Goddess is great if you like a little core influence. He put out two awesome albums last year.

Not a genre that i ever really got into in any meaningful way so forgive me if you think this song doesn't belong but I think it's melodic death metal. I also think it kicks ass.



I got this E.P as a free download but I've played and dug it enough to now get a physical copy.

Thanks for the exposure to Daath and unbowed.  Really enjoyed those two.  On my list to get.  

Some of my favorites that I don't think have been mentioned yet:





Marco posted this a few months ago about this song, love this song.  Brings back memories....

Quote :
Actually the song was writen about my Italian mother that would answer the phone with a heavy accent would say, " he nota a home me Marco." I was 17years old, living with my parents and never home. Shortly after this album was recorded I was booted out of my parents house because I put myself between my dads fist and my mother, instead I punched him in the face. Never to return...........Thanks for all the positive posts. Im home now.





Cromlech were a local band I saw in MN and WI few times back in the day:

When it comes to Death, I consider Human my favorite, but would suggest Symbolic first to someone who I am introducing their music to. Symbolic is a much more accessible album, even though I wouldn't really call it a death metal album, although it certainly has death metal elements.

Leprosy is my favorite after those two, and that is their most "death metal" album.

^^Agreed RF; Symbolic is the album I frequent most because it's so damn catchy. Although Sound of Perseverance is his magnum opus in my eyes, Human is one of the most eclectic extreme metal masterpieces I've ever heard.

Wow, that album is amazing. Deeds of Flesh are a fantastic band. I'm sure they are a massive inspiration on the last Suffocation albub. If not exactly in content, in getting their playing much tighter.

90s Death Metal is my bag at the moment - trying to catch up on all the stuff I couldn't get at the time.
