Destruction - The new one is pretty good, "Metal Discharge"
Stratovarius and Dimension Zero I don't know much about.
Jag Panzer - Mechanized Warfare
Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is their only outstanding release
Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick and Covenant are excellent. Everything else ranges from good to utter crap.

Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick and Covenant are excellent. Everything else ranges from good to utter crap.

What? Hello, anybody at home? Isn't there an album called Altars Of Madness which is definitely one (if not THE) real classics in the Death Metal genre?

For those of you that are into or have heard material by the following bands, what would you recommend by them?

Just my personal faves, but I strongly recommend
Destruction - All Hell Breaks Loose
Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia (I like EDT as well, but I think PEM is much better)
Morbid Angel - Altars Of Madness & Blessed Are The Sick; I'd actually rate AOM higher, but you can't make anything wrong with both of 'em;

Dimmu Borgir, I'd go with stormblast, but keep in mind it is a lot different. A lot tamer sounding in a way, more traditional black metal. If you like their newer sound better, which you might, I'd try out Enthrone Darkness Triumphant.

For Strat, I thought Episode was a good one.

Morbid Angel...I really enjoy their new on actually. Heretic.

I only heard Altars of Madness twice and I thought Blessed was better, my apologies.

HA! Whatever!

 

[TheLocust]

Morbid Angel - Covenant
Dimmu Borgir - Stormblåst & Enthrone Darkness Triumphant

Don't know 'bout the other bands...

Don't let it become a habit!

 

[Tanith]

Dimension Zero - Silent Night Fever, This Is Hell
Morbid Angel- Altars of Madness, Blessed Are the Sick

Those are the only ones I can recommend, the other bands i'm either not well versed in, or despise.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Dimension Zero - Aren't they that band with Jesper Stromblad from In Flames? If so, they have some kickass melo-death songs. It's thrashy like At The Gates, so don't expect IF, Pt. 2.

Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia(like DCA with more clean vocals and samples), Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, Spiritual Black Dimensions, For All Tid(shoddy production and little English but it's awesome)

Stratovarius - Anything before Elements, Pt. 1 is good. I like Twilight Time, because Timo Tolkki sang back then, and he doesn't have a cheesy power metal voice. Visions, Dreamspace, and Episode are alright, too.

I don't like Morbid Angel, so I can't recommend them.

 

[sixxswine]

Some great recommendations(I HOPE) from the Ultimatemetal.com rivetheads.
Thanks for your replies & yes, they have been helpful!

 

[Nocturnal Silence]

Well for Destruction I'd get "Infernal Overkill", and for Morbid Angel the best is probably "Blessed Are the Sick".

Dimmu Borgir's best is either Stormblast or For All Tid, but I'm not really a fan of them.

 

[Mournful Death]

For Morbid Angel and Dimmu Borgir, I'd recommend Covenant and Purtianical Euphoric Misanthropia, respectively. You can't go wrong with Blessed Are The Sick, Gateways To Annihilation, Enthrone Darkness Triumphant or Spiritual Black Dimensions either.

Mournful

 

[ffanatic]

Destruction-don't know

Stratovarius-Destiny and Infinity are okay, the rest is sub par power metal or ridiculously cheesy (or both)

Dimension Zero-don't know

Jag Panzer-Thane To The Throne is pretty good(based off Macbeth), but that's the only one I've heard

Dimmu Borgir-Spiritual Black Dimensions, Godless Savage Garden, Enthrone Darkness Triumphant and Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia are all good. Ihaven't heard Stormblast, and the parts I've heard of For All Tid didn't impress me much

Morbid Angel-Altars of Madness and Blessed Are The Sick (their first two) are their best, with Blessed being my favorite.
