Death metal suggestions

[Ch.V.Alkan]

I have heard alot of death metal.Most of it I cant stand but, what i do like count among my favorite recordings (vader + decapitated's winds of creation). I really dig decap's riffs and monster rhythm playing ( not straight and predictable 32nd's) + solos (short but sweet and in key to!). Their drummer isn't human either. It is not all blast beats neither. I hate the vocals but they are down in the mix ( a + ). Any suggestions in this vein????

I mostly only like the technical stuff like:
late-era Death
Cynic
Theory In Practice
Illogicist
Exivious
Martyr

And some of the more melodic ones that use clean vox too, like:

new Soilwork
Into Eternity
Alarum

Hope that helps.

Thanx Jimbo. I have both Of Martyr's releases and they are crushing.I also have the latest T.I.P .... very killer. Exivios, Illogicist,and Alarum I have never heard before but will check out.....

Thanks for the compliments. There's a bunch of guys working hard to make it a great site. Good luck with your search; I'm not too into death metal, so I don't have any more suggestions.

[Ecstatic Youth]

good death metal = later Death, Cryptopsy, Quo Vadis, Morbid Angel, Forsaken(Manifest of Hate is great)(whoa, that rhymed), Carcass(later stuff is quite melodic though), some Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth, Opeth(the death parts are good)

good melodic death metal = arch enemy, in flames, soilwork, children of bodom

 

[Black Winter Day]

CARCASS!!!!!!!!

[AXEMAN]

you must get NECROPHAGIST- Onset Of Putrifaction

a must have for all technical death metal lovers. All done by one guy and contains intense guitar riffing and killer soloing. Vocals in the low growl realm but the music here is just top-notch.

SCEPTIC- Pathetic Being is also a great death metal release with complex rhythms and technical, shredding solos. You can hear the DEATH influence in their music but they are no clones. Great cd from these 19-20 yr olds from Poland.

If you liked Decapitated's Winds of Creation cd Nihility is even better IMO.

SUSPERIA has just released an amazing piece of work. Not quite what I'd call death metal but certainly worth checking out anyway. You'll be suprised. Awesome stuff here.

Some other great bands you might want to check out are
Disinter
Soulless
Lowbrow
Monstrosity
