I'm looking for some (not melodic) death metal bands. (see description)?

for the longest time, 90% of the extreme metal I've listened to has been Melodeth and I'm wanting to try something heavier. I've tried posting similar questions, but haven't been getting the results I've wanted... probably due to the way I word my questions.

I want bands with high production quality, no scuzz or "rawness", so preferably new bands. In old school/traditional death metal, I prefer Deep growls... but not so "brutal that I can't understand a word they're saying. And I prefer slower, heavy riffs. For example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMcJHhyrvuY (I LOVE the first about 40 seconds of the song, and the choruses. The rest I like too, it's just the parts I mentioned that takes the cake for me)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBfoMgllphs (this is probably my favourite "oldschool" style DM song)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLuZpuW9GfM (not exactly pure "oldschool" DM, but it shows the kind of thing I'm getting at)

For Technical/Progressive DM, I like bands with some bit of a melodic element to them. I'm not really sure how else to put it, but basically nothing too brutal. The kind of Tech/Prog Death I'm looking for is like this stuff:

This is NOT what I want:

thanks so much if you take the time to read, listen, and answer.

Update:

@Tron: actually, I do like CC, especially the album Eviceration Plague

Update 2:

@Rawheat: do you happen to know any more bands like Runemagick? I looked them up, and they sound amazing.

    well, i may be off base with these suggestions, as i like the old school sound, but I also enjoy the scuzzy guitar tones as well...but like you, i do also enjoy slow heavy riffs, so maybe something that you like

    Incantation

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcis0rd9oHs&feature...

    Grave (may have already sent this too you, but to me they fit your criteria??)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImTQ8hw1zz0

    Asphyx

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OnEws7vyZM&feature...

    ok, so, i know you are aware of these bands, and i dont think you are a fan, but these are two slow songs i like

    Nile

    Cannibal corpse (only downside is it takes a minute to get going)

    Hey man,

    Sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable in the Death Metal you seek.

    However if I would recommend DM from my own collection, I would say these.

    Trample The Weak, Hurdle The Dead by Skinless

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y5Tqgf8_jM

    Pretty brutal, but I think the riffs are amazing.

    Like Angels Weeping by Kataklysm

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVXCPhMQFHs

    Murderer by Krisiun

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd7eDxB1gQ0

    Culinary Hyperversity by Necrophagist

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_3jJG_oGSs

    Hopefully one of the songs was in your interest range. If not, good luck. Haha

    Old School Death Metal without rawness is like Thrash Metal without speed. Anyway, try some work of early Amorphis and later albums by Bolt Thrower and Asphyx.

    Edit: since you mentioned liking slower and heavier sound, you should also try giving Death/Doom metal bands a listen. Try Runemagick, Ataraxie, Evoken, Esoteric, etc.

    i cant look at your links because im on a welfare office computer

    Deicide - album called 'scars of the crucifix', serpents of the light, but most people i know used to go on about 'once upon a cross'

    Cannibal Corpse - 'Butchered at Birth' album, and 'Tomb of the mutilated' wasnt bad, but anything after their 'vile' album sucked

    Prostitute disfigurement - there last couple of albums suck, because they changed the vocals, look up the song 'on her guts i ***'

    Six feet under had some good songs, the album 'maximum violence' was good..its the old Cannibal corpse singer

    Dying fetus and cephalectomy also good bands

    Source(s): for slow heavy riffs...Mortician, songs are short but very heavy e.g 'skin peeler'
