Do At the Gates count as death metal? If they do then it has to be "Slaughter of the Soul", innit.
I just decided to pop in Dissection's Storm Of The Light's Bane. It is definitely one of my top three alltime favorite albums. I consider them melodic death, so I might have to change my mind and say that it is the best Swedish death metal CD. But then again, so many people consider them black metal that I'm not sure if they would qualify as a death metal band in most people's eyes. They are definitely no straightforward death metal like Entombed; they are either melodic death (my opinion) or a mixture of black metal and death metal.

Swedish death metal (or should I say "death" metal) sound like an insult, at least in certain circles. Fortunately, there are still a couple of bands that save Sweden's death metal reputation. Soils of Fate and Obscene come to mind, Spawn of Possession, Deranged, Carve, Luciferion, Stabwound, Insision etc. are also catching on.

fuck melodic black metal
To say that Sweden has more of a history in death metal than black metal I consider highly erroneous; Bathory. That says it all, really, but we also had Pelle Ohlin, Grotesque etc. not to mention the newer acts (I know it's not yet history, but still).
As for death metal from here I guess I'd have to say something by Treblinka or Morbid.

Yeah, it's too bad that bands like In Flames are giving Swedish death metal a band name. No one should be calling them death metal anyways, especially after the horrid Rerout To Remain. Bands like Dark Tranquility and Arch Enemy (who I like) shouldn't be called death metal either. Sweden used to have many great death metal bands like Dismember, Entombed, Necrophobic, Grave, Unanimated, Therion, Hypocrisy, etc. Yeah, there still are some good Swedish bands that play real dm, like Insision, Spawn Of Possession, Vomitory, Visceral Bleeding, Reguritate, Forsaken, etc.Naggamanteh said:

Well, Opeth may NOT exactly be death metal, but they ARE swedish and they definitely are some sort of metal.
They just have too many influences...some parts more black, some parts more progressive, some death elements, and some classic rock-type stuff. Whatever they are, they're quite amazing!

Well, I call Opeth progressive death metal or something. And Dissection; it's quite hard to decide what to call them. They are the perfect mix of death and black metal.

I forgot about At the Gates - With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness. This deserves a mention as well, for tracks 2-5 which absolutely slaughter me.Guardian of Darkness said:
