Death Metal With A Twist

[Chimaera]

I'm looking for some death metal bands that have a unique or unusual sound. I don't mind which sub-genre of death metal it is. It can be slam, technical, deathgrind, hybrid genres or whatever, as long as it has something that separates it from traditional forms of death metal. Any ideas?

Yattering (the Genocide album), Augury, will probably think of more later.

 

[Tonka Time]

Amok

Wormed, Demilich, Lykathea Aflame, maybe The Chasm. All fairly well-known, but essential.

 

[DarkBliss]

Cadaver-...In Pains

 

[Krow]

Classic stuff:
Molested ~ Blod-dram
Nocturnus - The Key

Portal is a very weird band. Alot of people here hate on them, but you really need to hear them to form an opinion. You really wont hear anything else like them, imo.

Portal - Outre'
Portal - Seepia
Portal - Swarth

 

[Episteme]

Wicked Innocence - Omnipotence
Carbonized - Disharmonization

 

[VelociBrad]

Phlebotomized - Immense Intense Suspense

 

[Chimaera]

I like what I'm hearing so far.

 

[VelociBrad]

Mi'Gauss - Open Season
Phantasmagory - Odd Sounds
WAYD - Decadence

Neglected Fields - Splenetic
Miasma - Changes
Molested - Blod Draum
