the best swedish death metal band...

[katatonic]

at the gates

for me......
OTHER:

hypocrisy
dissection
gate of ishtar
the crown
ebony tears
in flames

 

[benny]

The Crown stands out to me.

 

[Onan]

uhh, it's kind of obvious..... OPETH!!!

but from that list i'd choose Dissection, although they're not much of a Death Metal act.

 

[tenebrose]

Well, folks, think about this twice...
considering the impressive numbers in Opeth fanatics on the board....

.....who do you think?

I don't classify Opeth as death metal but if thats what everyone else says they are then of course that would be my pick.

I'd personally like to toss them in a category like "Progressive Doom"... but they tend to go under the classification "melodic death".
Then again, I almost always label things differently from the odd masses.

Well, if Opeth isn't death metal then I'd hand it to Edge of Sanity.

 

[benny]

if band plays death metal... and sings about flowers... where do we put that?

I feel a new genre coming on Deadly Flower Metal!

Aside from Opeth I'd say Luciferion. Check out their cover of Slayer's "Chemical Warfare". Savage stuff...

Since Dissection play black metal and Opeth, well... I don´t know, I don´t list them. Nor In Flames or Dark Tranquillity since they, imo, play pop.

The Crown
At The Gates
Entombed
Dismember
Hypocrisy
Grave
Vomitory
Arch Enemy

i would say Edge of sanity or Opeth(the crown is good too...there new album should be killer with the guy from at the gates on vocals now)

 

[Anthony]

Mine are old ENTOMBED and DARK TRANQUILLITY
