10 essential death metal albums I MUST own!

Morbid Angel - Gateways to Annihilation ..... probably my favorite DM album.... many people think its their worst.... dont listen!!! awesome riffs, great atmosphere and production, and the lead playing is absolutely orgasmic.... both extremely chaotic and melodic at the same time.... "God of the Forsaken" probably has my favorite guitar solo of all time....
HELL FUCKEN' YEAH!!!

I'd say God of The Forsaken's solo is only bettered by 'Secured Limitations'.
 
If there were only ten death metal albums I could keep, they would be;

Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefaction
Gorguts - Obscura
Neuraxis - Truth Beyond
Siksakubur - Back to Vengeance
Dying Fetus - Destroy the Opposition
Psycroptic - Scepter of the Ancients
Cryptopsy - None So Vile
Krisiun - Conquerors of Armageddon
Blood Red Throne - Monument of Death
Fleshcrawl - Soulskinner


I think.

I'd go with

Kralizec - Origin ( a black/death hybrid, totally awesome )

Atheist's albums ( any )

Coprofago - Genesis

Korum - Son of the Breed

Theory in Practice's albums

Spawn of Possession - Cabinet

Gorgut's last two albums

Then, nothing else is needed, because your brain should have exploded by now.

definately get Necrophagist, if you can find it.

also get Vehemence - God Was Created. it's probably my favorite DM album. i never get sick of it.


Fuckin A man. My cd should be burnt out because of the sheer amount of times I have played GWC. Just cannot get sick of it.
 
I think it would be great if you could rank your lists on order of the best first.

That way I'll know which are absolute priority buys (although they al seem to be anyway!)

If you can't choose, then don't worry!

Thanks again for the help.

I think you might either mean 'song', 'EP' or 'Tomb of the Mutilated'.

;o) Just helpin' out.


High on Maiden, I think if you want absolute essentials for heavier death metal, then just stick to the popular ones I guess;

Gorguts - Obscura
Cryptopsy - None So Vile
Suffocation - Pierced From Within
Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefaction

I'd personally add Neuraxis - Truth Beyond. Every death metal head should experience it.
