I would suggest Carcass for great leads, like the Album Necroticism, or Heartwork. But you were talking about Death Metal leads, which aren't very creative or skillfull. Just practice picking really fast with a metrodome.

Other Great bands with excellent guitar solos(Soilwork, In Flames, and Arch Enemy)

[The Wanderer]

Emperor. Especially Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, IX Equilibrium and the newest. Tons of great leads.

Opeth, is pretty damn far from shred in my opinion. Well there are the obvios guys like Yngwie Malmsteen, Satriani, and Vai.

STEVE VAI!!!!!!!!.,.,.,.,yeah.,.,.,he's crazy.,.,.yeah i like wut carcass did on heart work.,.,.just im not in the mood right now for melodic type of solo's.,.,.,.i rather do anger driven balls out ones.,.,.b/cuz there are too many bands around where i live that are doing in flames type of harmonizing and shit,.,.,im not bashing in flames.,.,.there's just other ways of approaching solo's.,.,.,

"Cowboys from Hell"/"Vulgar Display of Power" by Pantera
"Unstoppable Force"/"Skeptics Appocalypse" by Agent Steel
All the Death albums
"Architecture of imagination" by Paralysis
"Fervent Dream" by Wolverine (they are more progressive, but do have shredding guitars)
"Doomsday for the Deceiver" by Flotsam & Jetsam
"Burnt Offerings" by Iced Earth (all of their first 3 albums will do for you).

If you want to shred then listen to the master of guitar shreding,Zakk Wylde.
Check out his band BLACK LABEL SOCIETY.Zakk Wylde knows how to shred the shit out of a guitar.Zakk rules.

Well here's what I learned about shredding and soloing in general, and it's helped me out a lot...

The key to playing fast is relaxing...you need a light touch on the fretboard. Practice your technique by playing scales to a metronome. Start slow, and gradually speed it up. Focus on playing properly, not just fast.

And for bands to listen to...all the above are good choices!
