[Brozeth]

It's impossible to chose a top 5 really. That goes for any genre.

 

[DarkBliss]

At least listen to the Sentenced or Eucharist. They're more accessible than anything else on his list.
North from Here might be the best DM album from Finland, period.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Most of my fave DM came out of the early 90's Florida scene.

Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Pestilence - Testimony of the Ancients
Death - Spiritual Healing
Deicide - Deicide
Morbid Angel - Blessed are the sick

Honourable mentions:

Obituary - Cause of Death
Death - Human
Carcass - Necroticism.. Descantiing the Insalubrious
Entombed - Clandestine
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Deicide - Legion

Eucharist perhaps, Sentenced North From Here is completely awkward and jarring, I'd say that it's one of the more difficult albums to get into.

 

[General Zaroff]

Somthing like this- (no order)

Behemoth - Demigod
Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh
Cannibal Corpse - Tomb Of The Mutilated
Cryptopsy - None So Vile
Edge Of Sanity - Purgatory Afterglow

Runner ups-

Morbid Angel - Altars Of Madness
Morbid Angel - Domination
Lykathea Aflame - Elvenfris
Possessed - Seven Churches
Behemoth - Satanica

 

[DarkBliss]

@byrne: You think? I didn't find it jarring, it's just that the guitar tone is pretty weird and shrill at times. Although you're right in that it does sound like quite a mess at first. but it grew on me to such an extent that I just can't fathom how can someone not like it

 

[Zephyrus]

My affinity for Classical Mythology has rekindled my interest for Kronos' Colossal Titan Strife. I really love this album. Are there other works as good as this?

 

[supseudonymous]

I was listening to The Hellenic Terror yesterday. While I wasn't overly impressed it was still quite good. I believe CTS is supposed to be their crowning achievement thus far.

 

[Rumpole]

My top five.

Asphyx - The Rack
Nocturnus - The Key
Pestilence - Malleus Maleficarum
Atheist - Piece of Time
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness

 

[The Ozzman]

Well, my top 5 will suck compared to everyone else's because I haven't had the pleasure of listening to as much DM as all of you, but:

Death - Symbolic
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Suffocation - Pierced From Within
Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal
ATG - Red in the Sky

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]
