What are some good death metal bands?

Start at the beginning of death metal:

Possessed

Death

Random death metal:

Atheist

Goreaphobia

Deceased

Dissection

Hypocrisy

At The Gates

Unleashed

In Flames (old)

Benediction

Dismember

Carcass

Blood Freak

Lord Gore

Bestial Mockery

Suicidal Winds

Morbid Angel

Obituary

Suffocation

Deicide

Cannibal Corpse

Autopsy

Death Yell

Atheist, Cynic, Gorguts, Lykathea Aflame, Morbid Angel, Nile, Obituary, and Pestilence are tech death, some leaning more towards regular death and others being more progressive.

Good melodic death bands are Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, At The Gates, Children of Bodom, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, and Norther.

I Love Metal

As I Lay Dying is really good, check out the album An Ocean Between Us. With Blood Comes Cleansing is also very good death metal. Slipknot is death metal i think but it verges on demonic.

Arch Enemy

Carcass

At the Gates

Children of Bodom

Dark Tranquility

In Flames

Wintersun

Opeth

Mastodon isn't really death metal, but they're pretty heavy. You may like them.

Bring Me the Horizon? Please, dumbass scene *******...

Check out Nile, Cryptopsy, Immolation, Incantation, Suffocation, Morbid Angel, Behemoth, Hate Eternal, Death, Malevolent Creation, Napalm Death, Carcass, and Bolt Thrower for some good stuff.

If you like melodic death, you might wanna check out Amon Amarth, In Flames, Dark Tranquility, Wintersun, Kalmah, and Mors Principium Est.

There are lots more good bands out there, happy listening!
