What's the best Death Metal album ever?

[Genocide]

Dismember- Like an everflowing stream

No arguments, this is the best.

 

[SculptedCold]

pity the rest of their albums blow huh? =)

 

[Angrafan]

best death metal album ever?

if there's such a thing

Exactly.


Well, I choose Soilwork's Natural Born Chaos, if you consider it to be death metal in any way.

 

[Goremageddon]

Deicide -Legion
Maybe sounds of this album aren´t so good as possible, but music strikes really hard!! It´s technical, brutal and it contains best guitar riffs of Deicide ever! Totally masterpiece in death metal genre.

 

[Nihilistic]

Cryptopsy - None So Vile, Whisper Supremacy
Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris
Death - Leprosy, Human
Pestilence - Testimony Of The Ancients
Suffocation - Pierced From Within
Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines

That exact list, with Morbid Angel - Covenant too.

 

[R.I.P.2]

Exactly.

It's not death metal, and it sucks.

 

[no country for old wainds]

I'm sure Profanity would argue.

 

[R.I.P.2]

And he'd win the argument with "Soulfly is Nihilistic death metal".

 

[Ben_t]

hahaha...I like having profanity around...I think I would laugh a lot less if he wasn't around...

Morbid Angel - Blessed Are The Sick

Simply because it's the most powerful, best put together, amazing Death Metal album ever.

 

[DecTV]

At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul. The production is brilliant, the songs are grabbing and tight. The overall package is just perfect.

It would help if Slaughter of the Soul was a death metal album, not that its a bad album.

 

[diabolical vengeance]

For me its Gorguts' Obscura. No other DM album is as technical, as sick, as twisted, as fucked up yet still cohesive as this album. Proof is that even though its 5 years old many people still have trouble grasping its ingenuinity. Obscura is avantgarde Death Metal, all other DM is obsolete next to this masterpiece.

 

[Profanity]

1) Carcass - Heartwork
2) Carcass - Necroticism-Descanting The Insabulous
3) Vader - Litany
4) Therion - Beyond Sanctorum
5) Carcass - Swansong

Oh my goodness...not this again.

Melodic death bands ARE death metal, whether you like it or not.

Oh my goodness...not this again.

Melodic death bands ARE death metal, whether you like it or not.

Those bands will not become death metal just because some people will call them that (whether you like it or not).

 

[Life Sucks]

People label melodic death metal bands death metal because the vocals aren't clean. However, the riffage of melodic death metal bands such as Dark Tranquillity or In Flames is not death metal at all. For lack or any other categorization, I would call those bands melodic death, but they key word is melodic. They are not death metal, but melodeath.

 

[Raumien]

No fucking contest, hands down Death's Sound Of Perseverance.

Technical, badass death metal with quality, understandable vocals. Interesting strong structures, orgasmic percussion and some of the most unique death metal solos I've witnessed.
