Accessible Death Metal for Neophytes

This list is for those who are curious about or are attempting to get into the 'heavier' genres of metal. This list contains bands and albums that are generally more accessible and are an easier listen than some of the more extreme examples that the genre has to offer. As a general rule, start with the more melodic Swedish bands and then work from there. This list is not meant to be an 'essential' list and the albums are not necessarily meant to be the bands' best or great in general either. Purely based on the ease of listening and in no particular order. Feel free to add any suggestions in the comments.
1In Flames
Come Clarity


Most of their discography is very accessible, although the albums released after this one are basically shit.
2Soilwork
Figure Number Five


Most of their discography is very accessible, although very inconsistent as well.
3Dark Tranquillity
Fiction


Very accessible.
4Suffocation
Pierced from Within
5Darkest Hour
Deliver Us


Most of their discography is very accessible.
6Dismember
Like an Ever Flowing Stream
7Carcass
Heartwork


Also Surgical Steel.
8The Red Chord
Fused Together in Revolving Doors


A personal fav.
9The Black Dahlia Murder
Nocturnal


Most of their discography is very accessible.
10At the Gates
Slaughter of the Soul


Classic.
11Death
Symbolic


Most of their discography is very accessible, specifically everything released after Human.
12Scar Symmetry
Holographic Universe


Borderline pop, but still great.
13Entombed
Left Hand Path
14Amon Amarth
Deceiver of the Gods


Most of their discography is very accessible.
15Gojira
L'Enfant Sauvage


Most of their discography is very accessible.
16Opeth
Blackwater Park


Some would argue they are barely death metal, but Opeth's early stuff has some very accessible progressive death metal.
17Decapitated
Anticult


Later albums for their accessibility, earlier albums for better quality. Nihility is my personal fav.
18Bolt Thrower
War Master


A solid starting point.
