Top 10 Favorite OSDM Releases

[Dazed and Brutal]

I'm going to take a slightly different tack and go with my favorite albums of or in the style of the first couple of generations of death metal (I would not consider The Red in the Sky is Ours or Nespithe or, well, any of the albums listed by the first couple of posters to be 'old school' simply because those albums are far too advanced when viewed in relation to the genre's early history).

Anything up to 1995 is old school in that Death metal was continually being tweaked and shaped, but it creative eventually peaked as surge of new bands stopped and the older bands continued to push new material. However, I do enjoy your approach and believe it shall be very helpfull to many people on here. I'd add Dream Death to that list

 

[Zephyrus]

Can't order them, but these are the 10 best I've heard so far (alphabetically)...

Asphyx - The Rack
Death - Scream Bloody Gore
Dismember - Like An Everflowing Stream
Incantation - Onward to Golgotha
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
Morbid Angel - Covenant
Possessed - Seven Churches
Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten
Suffocation - Pierced from Within
Tiamat - Sumerian Cry
Tiamat - The Astral Sleep

I'm going to take a slightly different tack and go with my favorite albums of or in the style of the first couple of generations of death metal (I would not consider The Red in the Sky is Ours or Nespithe or, well, any of the albums listed by the first couple of posters to be 'old school' simply because those albums are far too advanced when viewed in relation to the genre's early history).

Yeah, I think there are a few ways to look at it. Suffocation didn't have the style/sound of "old-school" and are definitely closer to technical brutal death/grind than OSDM. But I took OSDM as being music from the 1988-1995 time period, basically.

 

[Nixuz]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Grave.

Entombed - Left Hand Path
Dismember - Like an Everflowing Stream

[Skepticism]

Impossible for me to to get it down to 10. I'll just throw Eucharist A Velvet Creation out there as my favourite though.

 

[Ben_t]

So is mine, one of my good friends and band mate has it. SO SUCK ON THAT! It's not too hard to find if you get to any metal club in Brooklyn. A lot of people I know gave money to Morpheus Descends to record Chronicles Of The Shadowed Ones and were never paid back You'll hear some funny stuff if you ask anyone in the NYDM/PDM legion/club (w/e they call it now) about that band. A lot people hold grudges...

Is this cd rare? I have it...and will probably sell it soon.

Anyway here's my top ten:

1 - Massacra - Final Holocaust
2 - Therion - Beyond Sanctorum
3 - Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes
4 - Demilich - Nespithe
5 - Cadaver - ...In Pains
6 - Necrophobic - The Nocturnal Silence
7 - Amorphis - The Karelian Ishtmus
8 - Phlebotomized - Immense Intense Suspense
9 - Gorguts - The Erosion of Sanity
10 - Torchure - The Essence

A lot of other records could have made my top ten though... Adramelech - Psychostasia, Dismember - Like an Everflowing Stream, Eucharist - A Velvet Creation, God Macabre - The Winterlong, Immolation - Dawn of Possession, Miasma - Changes, The Chasm - Deathcult...
