New to Death Metal

[Walls_of_Jericho]

Ok, so I've been into power metal for years now (hence my username, the Helloween album) and now I've decided to start into death metal. I've searched through the forums and checked out a few random bands and some more prominent one's and so far my favorites are Death, Krisiun, and All Shall Perish. So now I'm just looking for suggestions as to some other death metal bands you guys like, and I'll check them out and hopefully will like them.

Amorphis- The Karelian Isthumus
Gorguts- Considered Dead
Sinister- Cross the Styx, Diabolical Summoning

any Bloodbath cd
Basically all essential stuff imo.

Soldier, if you like Nile you should definately get their album In Their Darkened Shrines. Possibly their best work. Its the one that got me into them.

Threads like this need to be stickied.

There needs to be:
-OSDM thread stickied
-Thrash recs stickied
etc

 

[waif]

definitely. all the main genres. and somebody sticky one of the melodeath rec threads because every once in a while there's a rash of them, like fuckers don't even bother to check if it's already there.

Cannibal Corpse – All *

There's no fucking way anyone would need every Cannibal Corpse album if new to death metal. Just get Tomb of the Mutilated and stop.

Also, Death - Scream Bloody Gore is the definition of essential.

Cannibal Corpse - Kill is crap, for one.
