Nice to see a list with Carcass Necrotism on it!!! Been into it since it released and still listen to it frequently! It’s my #1 easily!!

I love Bolt Thrower and I am glad to see you picked my fav BT album: THose Once Loyal.

Death-Symbolic Obituary- Cause of Death Cryptopsy- None So Vile Atheist- Unquestionable Presence Morbid Angel- Altars of Madness Gorguts- Obscura Demilich- Nespithe Undeath- It's Time....To Rise From The Grave

Great list. Love all albums mentioned, my favourite death metal album is For Victory by Bolt Thrower. Cool to see these lists updated

I saw Carcass two weeks ago in London. They were brilliant!

Superb list. No Obituary and Entombed is a surprise though.

Your top 10 Death Metal Bands video would be great, Questy🤘

My favorite Death Metal albums, in no particular order: A tie between DEICIDE s/t and Legion. Both equally savage to me. Suffocation: Effigy of The Forgotten Death: Spiritual Healing. It's just one of them i pull for listens the most. Plus James Murphy was on it Morbid Angel: Blessed are the Sick. I love the punch of the drum hits on it. Obituary: Slowly We Rot. I like the more gritty ,raw sound it has. Plus the track INTOXICATED is one fucking BANGER track in particular. Cannibal Corpse: Tomb of the Mutilated Hypocrisy: Osculum Obscenum. Great old school, raw Death Metal. Masse Broberg's vocals on those first 2 records were pure savage rawness and im here for it Malevolent Creation: Retribution Sepultura: Beneath the Remains. Up until ARISE, they still fit in very nicely with the Death Metal scene. Broken Hope: The Bowels of Repugnance. Bloodsoaked: Sadistic Deeds..Grotesque Memories. I hope i got that title right. Lol. Awesome 1 man Death Metal band from Raleigh North Carolina USA. The next album, The Death of Hope rules too. MORTICIAN: Chainsaw Dismemberment. Or as Justin Horval calls them, The Tish. This album has one of my favorite guitar sound of theirs. NILE: Black Seeds of Vengeance. This was my first NILE album i heard a song from, alng with the song Sarcophagus ,from In Their Darkened Shrines. The track i heard from Seeds was Chapter for Transfoming Into a Snake. Both were on a 2000 Release Records compilation. POSSESSED: Seven Churches Carcass: Necroticism Bolt Thrower : Honor, Valor, Pride Vital Remains: Dechristianize

Legion can't be better than Deicide in EVERY single way. It doesn't have Sacrificial Suicide, or Dead by Dawn or Oblivious to Evil...

Cryptopsy None So Vile is my favourite Death metal album.

Mine: 1. Atheist - Piece Of Time 2. Death - Human 3. Bolt Thrower - Mercenary 4. Cynic - Focus 5. Beyond Creation - Aura 6. Dismember - Massive Killing Capacity 7. Demilich - Nespithe 8. Edge Of Sanity - Crimson II 9. Sadus - Elements Of Anger 10. Cannibal Corpse - Bleeding 11. Cryptopsy - Blasphemy Made Flesh 12. Dying Fetus - Reign Supreme 13. Necrophagist - Epitaph 14. Deicide - Legion 15. Gorguts - Obscura 16. Rivers Of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name 17. Pestilence - Testimony 18. Cattle Decapitation - Terrasite 19. Opeth - Ghost Reveries 20. Portal - Ion

Im not gonna shoot for 20, but imma give you a list lol. May Christ be with you man (also not in any order, and is up to change) 1.Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos 2.Cemetary - An Evil Shade of Grey 3.Entombed - Left Hand Path 4.Dismember - Like an Everflowing Stream 5.Obituary - Cause of Death 6.Autopsy - Severed Survival 7.Death - All 7 8.Pestilence - Consuming Impulse 9.Bloodbath - Resurrection Through Carnage 10.Grave - Into the Grave 11.Cancer - To the Gory End 12.Desultory - Bitterness (not sure if it fits) I remember enjoying these albums, just need to give them more plays Epitaph - Seeming Salvation Convulse - World Without Gosh Morta Skuld - Dying Remains (i think) Asphyx - The Rack

Mental funeral is so fucking good

First...great list Questy.

Hard rank, there are so many great ones and pioneers. Obituary's "Cause of Death", Suffocation's debut or Autopsy's "Mental Funeral" are among my favorites.

Decrepit Birth is my latest death metal discovery I've been getting into. Particularly the "Polarity" album. And I'd need to have a Dying Fetus album in my top 20, probably "Reign Supreme".

Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness Death - Leprosy Autopsy - Mental Funeral Deicide - Deicide Pestilence - Consuming Impulse Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos Entombed - Left Hand Path Carnage - Dark Recollections Asphyx - The Rack Vader - De Profundis

Excellent list, man! Here's mine, mostly heavy on the classic stuff and has quite a lot of overlap with yours 1. Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal 2. Death - Scream Bloody Gore 3. Sepultura - Beneath the Remains 4. Obituary - Cause of Death 5. Cannibal Corpse - Butchered at Birth 6. Entombed - Clandestine 7. Deicide - Legion 8. Dismember - Massive Killing Capacity 9. Asphyx - Deathhammer 10. Morbid Angel - Domination 11. Suffocation - Pierced from Within 12. Dying Fetus - Reign Supreme 13. Benediction - Transcend the Rubicon 14. Vader - Litany 15. Kreator - Pleasure to Kill 16. Behemoth - Demigod 17. At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul 18. Hypocrisy - Virus 19. Unleashed - Across the Open Sea 20. Immolation - Majesty and Decay

immolation acts of god is quickly becoming one of my new favorites

Any army blasting Bolt Thrower from their tanks would race through enemy territory like they had the runnings.

Don't know if I could name a top 20. Symbolic by Death and Cause of Death by Obituary would be a couple of my favorite death metal albums.

Damn, we have very similar lists. I’ll have to think through mine but it’s like 75% the same as yours.

Fantastic list

I just watched Justins lol ,and spoiler alert your list is better imop . My 20 are (like you both did no repeats of artists ) Possessed -7 churches , Morbid Angel -Covenant , Bolt Thrower-War Master ,Unleashed -Where no Life Dwells ,Death-Individual Thought Patterns, Nocturnus-The Key ,Deicide-Legion,Edge of Sanity -Spectral Sorrows, Benediction -Transcend the Rubicon,Obituary-The ENd complete ,Paradise Lost -Lost Paradise ,Dark Tranquility -The Gallery,Nile-Anhilation of the Wicked ,Amorphis -Tales from a 1000 Lakes ,if Dissection counts then add Storm of the Lights Bane ,Malevolant Creation -10 commandments ,Athiest -Unquestionable Presence ,Cynic -Focus ,Extol -Burial ,Pestilence -Testimony of the Ancients

Everything by my favourite band Dying Fetus! They are true masters of their craft! Most of Kataklysym kick ass too! Also Ingested, Benighted, Sepsism, Dyscarnate, Carcass (Heartwork) and Fear Factory (Soul of a New Machine) are masterpieces

Yep, I also think Anthropocene is Cattle's best album. More inspired, varied and memorable compared to their later albums imo

any death prog albums recommendations? Like abstract illusion, ne obliviscaris...

My favorite Death Metal album's in particular order Death - Human Death - Symbolic Carcass - Heartwork Autopsy - Severed Survival Nile - Annihilation Of The Wicked Cannibal Corpse - Tomb Of The Mutilated Entombed - Left Hand Path Dismember - Like An Everflowing Stream Bolt Thrower - The 4th Crusade Blood Incantation - Hidden History Of The Human Race Deicide - Legion Cryptopsy - None So Vile Morbid Angel - Altars Of Madness Suffocation - Effigy Of The Forgotten Cattle Decapitation - Monolith Of Inhumanity Immolation Dawn Of Possession Incantation - Onward To Golgotha

Perhaps... Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness Cynic - Focus Death - The Sound of Perseverance Demilich - Nespithe Gorguts - Colored Sands Blood Incantation - Hidden History... Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal Carcass - Symphonies of Sickness Death - Symbolic Portal - Seepia

Here is a quick five that most no one would ever include, but "Resurrection-Embalmed Existence" is my number one....these others in no particular order; "Paralysis-Patrons to the Dark" and "Viogression-Expound and Exhort" and "Goatlord-S/T" and "Impetigo-Horror of the Zombies"

Do prog please 🙏

Q-Dawg

RESURRECTION - ENBALMED EXISTENCE, definitely my Numero Uno

My Top 12 Death Metal Albums : MORBID ANGEL - Altars Of Madness (1989) CRYPTOPSY - None So Vile (1996) SINISTER - Cross The Styx (1992) PESTILENCE - Consvming Impvlse (1989) CARCASS - Necroticism (1991) SUFFOCATION - Effigy Of The Forgotten (1991) INCANTATION - Onward To Golgotha (1992) IMMOLATION - Dawn Of Possession (1991) DEMILICH - Nespithe (1993) GORGUTS - The Erosion Of Sanity (1993) BENEDICTION - Transcend The Rubicon (1993) BOLT THROWER - For Victory (1994)

Superb selection, only Death for me would be one of the more tech albums and Spheres is easily my favourite Pestilence. For CC I would pick either Kill or Red Before Black, there's a fag paper between them

Lol. I only get to twenty, if I include my Melodeath and Tech Death faves. I don't get into too many Death Metal bands. I love some, like Bolth Thrower, but I can't stand Cannibal Corpse or Obituary. So: Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh Bolt Thrower - Mercenary Death - Scream Bloody Gore Entombed - Left Hand Path Edge of Sanity - Crimson Grave Miasma - Abyss of the Wrathful Deities Hath - All That was Promised Dismember - Like an everflowing stream Amorphis - Tales from the Thousand Lakes Rivers of Nihil - The Work Persefone - Aathma Obscura - A Valediction Nile - Ithillipathic Kalmah - Kalmah Insomnium - Winter's Gate Cryptopsy - None so Vile Amorphis - Talse from the 1000 Lakes Dark Tranquility - Moment Revocation - Existence is futile Opeth - Morningrise

Stare Into Death And Be Still?

you should out Mortification, their a great Death Metal band.

My top 20 Death Metal Albums would be 1 Cannibal Corpse - Tomb Of The Mutilated 2 Incantation - Onward To Golgotha 3 Deicide - Decide 4 Morbid Angel - Alters Of Madness 5 Mortician - Hacked Up For Barbque/ Zombie 6 Nunslaughter - Goat 7 Immolation - Majesty And Decay 8 Death - Scream Bloody Gore 9 Dying Fetus - Wrong One To Fuck With 10 Devourment - Butcher The Weak 11 Fulci - Tropical Sun 12 Defeated Sanity - The Sanquinary Impetus 13 Evil Incarnate - Blood Of The Saints 14 Autophagy - Bacteriophagy 15 Morta Skuld - Dying Remains 16 Phobophillic - Enveloping Absurdity 17 Sinister - Diabolical Summoning 18 Vital Remains - Icons Of Evil 19 Worm - Gloomlord 20 Burial - Divinity Through Eradication

what about obituary?

top 10 in no particular order (1 band - 1 album) Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines Deicide - Deicide Death - Spiritual Healing Suffocation - Human Waste Immolation - Majesty and Decay Obituary - Cause of Death Cannibal Corpse - Kill Vader - The Beast Cryptopsy - None So Vile

Great list! Particularly agree with the choice of Blessed are the Sick, it also gets me a bit more than Altars. Altars is great but Blessed has that extra edge that I love. A few albums which I'd also put on such a list: -Hypocrisy - Osculum Obscenum (or Penetralia tbh) -Amorphis - Karelian Isthmus (unique slighly folky/atmospheric DM) -Purtenance - Member of Immortal Damnation (amazing Finnish old-school DM) -Obituary - Cause of Death (a classic) -Dead Head - Dream Deceiver -Utumno - Across the Horizon (just an EP but amazing) -Krabathor - Cool Mortification (Czech old-school DM that's solid af) -Excruciate - Passage of Life (Another Swedish one-album-wonder of old-school DM goodness).

How on earth is 'Close to a world below' not here? There is literally nothing like it.

Hard to rank but these are probably the ones i listen to the most 1 Morbid Angel: Altars Of Madness 2 Death: Spiritual Healing 3 Death: Human 4 Autopsy: Severed Survival 5 Obituary: Cause Of Death 6 Pestilence: Consuming Impulse 7 Sinister: Diabolical Summoning 8 Sinister: Cross The Styx 9 Asphyx: Last One On Earth 10 Asphyx: The Rack 11 Dismember: Like An Everflowing Stream 12 Entombed: Left Hand Path 13 Deicide: Legion 14 Hypocrisy: The Final Chapter 15 Malevolent Creation: Retribution 16 Malevolent Creation: The Ten Commandments 17 Vital Remains: Let Us Pray 18 Hate: Anaclasis... 19 Incubus: Beyond The Unknown 20 Cryptopsy: Blasphemy Made Flesh

I think Krisiun - Conqueror's Armageddon has a place amongst the best.

Scream Bloody Gore can’t possibly be anyones fav death metal album, ffs. Every single Immolation record is better

Random question...just started listening to Blackbraid. They play atmospheric black metal. Are you a fan?

surprised no opeth

(no order except for the number one spot) 1: The last four Cattle Decapitaiton albums 2: Death: Symbolic 3: Cryptopsy: None So Vile 4: Cannibal Corpse: Kill 5: Blood Incantation: Hidden History of The Human Race 6: Nile: Annihilation of The Wicked 7: At The Gates: Slaughter of The Soul 8: Suffocation: Effigfy of The Forgotten 9: Gorement: The Ending Quest 10: Deicide (Self titled)

My favorite Death Metal Album is, Resurrection Through Carnage from Bloodbath. Ulcerate is Death Metal nice to know, thanks.

Desultory - Bitterness, At The Gates - The Red In The Sky Is Ours, Amorphis - The Kerelian Isthmus, Death - Human, Obituary - Cause of Death, In Flames - Jester Race, Malevolent Creation - Ten Commandments, Phlebotomized - Immense Intense Suspense, Entombed - Left Hand Path,

Canoe!!!!!! Lololol

Ahab !!!!!!!!!!!

Btw, honourable mention for these: Chthe'ilist - Le Dernier Crepuscule Catacomb - In The Maze of Kadah Convulse - World Without God Phlebotomized - Immense Intense Suspense Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes

So this list isn’t in order?

My first EP: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ISBFbRzhTcI.html

some of my favorites (not counting opeth because they are more prog) any gorguts album (obscura best dm album full stop) imperative imperceptible impulse by ad nauseam Annihilation of the wicked by nile abyssal gods by imperial triumphant hatred for mankind by dragged into sunlight heartwork by carcass death atlas by cattle decapitation

In my opinion, the 90s were death metal's peak. After that, it went slowly down. I really hate nowadays productions, It just sounds awful to me. Bands like Archspire may be technical great, and I respect that, but that just doesn't do it for me. None of these newer bands will ever come close to an old Morbid Angel or Death record.

I don’t listen to death metal as much as black metal these days, but I have a few that I consider favourites: - An Anatomy of the Beast by Intestine Baalism - Banquet in the Darkness by Intestine Baalism - Ultimate Instinct by Intestine Baalism - Heartwork by Carcass - Trumpets Blare in Blazing Glory by Grenadier - Above The Weeping World by Insomnium - Hidden History of the Human Race by Blood Incantation - Realm of chaos by Bolt Thrower

Listening since 1990. My favorite death metal albums of all time: 1. Cannibal Corpse: The Bleeding; 2. Morbid Angel: Altars of Madness; 3. Cannibal Corpse: Tombs of the Mutilated; 4. Death: Human; 5. Obituary: Cause of Death; 6. Sepultura: Beneath the Remains; 7. Deicide: Once upon the Cross; 8. Entombed: Left Hand Path; 9. Bolt Thrower: For Victory; 10. Morbid Angel: Covenant; 11. Six Feet Under: Haunted; 12. Morbid Angel: Blessed are the Sick; 13. Cannibal Corpse: Butchered at Birth; 14. Dismember: Like an Ever Flowing Stream; 15. Suffocation: Effigy of the Forgotten; 16. At the Gates Slaughter of the Soul; 17. Cryptopsy: None So Vile; 18. Sinister Hate; 19. Diabolic: Vengeance Ascending; 20. Dying Fetus: Destroy the Opposition

Carcass - Heartwork Nile - any of first three Pyrexia - System of the Animal Sinister - Aggressive Measures Dismember - Death Metal Arkhon Infaustus - Hell Injection Dying Fetus - Killing On Adrenaline Immolation - Unholy Cult

You swear a lot but killer ranking. 😂

where the hell are the physical discs? 😡👎

I mostly listen to BM but easily my favourite DM album is Azarath - Blasphemers' Maledictions (probably because of its black metal influences). You listened to it once on a stream. The vocals are just insane.

and you drink italian beer as an english guy, come on!

A few good ones but most aren't my jam

This video screams "watch me Justin please watch me". 😂

Blessed are the sick is the best Morbid Angel album
