Best Death Metal Bands?

I'm trying to get into some more Death Metal bands, so please give me some of your favorites as well as any songs/albums you'd recommend starting with. I'm generally into Melodic Death and Progressive Death Metal, but I'd like to get more into other sub-genres.

Here are a few I already like, you can name some that are similar or some that are different so it really doesn't matter.

Opeth

Death

Amon Amarth

Dark Tranquillity

At the Gates

Edge of Sanity

Obituary

Suffocation

Arch Enemy

Vader

Eternal Tears of Sorrow

Kalmah

Bloodbath

I could go on and on but that gives you an idea.

Update:

10 points for the person who recommends me the most bands that I haven't checked out before and turn out liking. Links would be much appreciated but not necessary.

Update 2:

@ Child of the Grave and UK Goddess. Nice lists, I already know of a lot of those bands but I'll check out the ones I don't know.

Thought I should extend the number of bands that I already like since they are already coming up.

Katatonia

Agalloch

Carcass

Dissection

Morbid Angel

Slayer

Enslaved

Meshuggah
