Don't do it, you'll never want to listen to other death metal again. Every time I think about putting on Dawn of Possession or Onward to Golgotha, that shitty Graves of the Archangels album always sneaks onto my iPod.
Like seriously, in the last 3 months or something the only other death metal I've really cared to put on hasn't been on because it's death metal (ie Morbid Angel for thrash reasons, Ulcerate cuz I'm a DSO fanboy). Cuz when I want death metal, I just listen to Dead Congregation. Help?

I saw them mentioned a few times, so I figured it's worth a shot. It won't get a lot of play because I can only handle so much death metal before I'm bored, but it was definitely good.
However, there are other bands I've seen mentioned in the same regard that I've checked out and lol'd pretty hard at.

I think I first checked out the full length after reading your review, if that makes it any better (probably makes it worse since everything else I like is fag metal or something)
Shadow Keep - Corruption Within
I like this. This will be getting some more spins. It's dark and a bit raw, which is good. The vocals are a bit rough, but I'm getting used to them. Progressive power metal in the mold of early Queensryche, Fates Warning, etc, but not too derivative.

Fates Warning - Night on Brocken
This is great. Like a more straightforward Awaken the Guardian, with less of the mystical feel and fewer proggy touches. Also, less of those amazing vocal melodies. What that leaves is just old school heavy metal. Still awesome, just not absolutely jizzworthy.

Runes of Dianceht - Eternal Call of Darkness
This is some gay, gay, gay shit here. Like, really gay. Bedroom fucking black metal. Hard to believe CMD carried this...fucking rip-off. Some gay keyboard shit you can't really hear over guitars you can't really hear, some crappy drumming, awful vocals...just awful, overall.
Sagaris - Raising the Oldest
Straight up black metal. On the metal side of black metal, but nothing out of the ordinary. Generally well written and good, but not amazing. A worthy purchase, overall, but probably not worth hunting down.

Hirax - New Age of Terror
After one listen I am liking this. There are some cool thrash tunes on here. It's definitely not perfect. One thing I really noticed is that some songs seemed to be cut short before reaching their full potential. Yes, too much repetition is bad, but I think there is an amount of repetition that serves a given song best, and I think they missed it on some of these song. There is an instrumental which could have owned! It's cool, but to me it could have greatly benefited from the addition of some sort of extended mid-section, and then a rejoining with the original idea, with some variation, to end it up.

Karen O and the Kids - Where The Wild Things Are
Absolutely the best soundtrack I've heard and one of the best albums of the year so far. Communicates the story of WtWTA very well, but stands alone as an album very well.

You definitely should. Most people seem to focus Grave of the Archangels, which is an awesome album, and forget about their 2005' EP (Purifying Consecrated Ground). Both rule.
I got their stuff after reading Dodens' review months ago (more like a year??).
The EP rules, Vomitchrist, Lucid Curse, and Auguring an Eternal War are some of their top tracks along with the best off Graves of the Archangels - I only barely like the full length better from song to song, but then you have to consider that there's twice as much godly material there
