| 10 Essential Death Metal
10 essential albums from/relating to the death metal genre. | | 1 |  | Possessed
Seven Churches
Not truly death metal, but Possessed was one of the pioneers of death metal. A must own for people wanting to listen to death metal's roots. | | 2 |  | Death
Scream Bloody Gore
The defining death metal album, Death's Scream Bloody Gore delivers all you could want from a death metal album: gory lyrics, evil-sounding riffs, death vocals and very fast-paced songs the entire way through. | | 3 |  | Morbid Angel
Altars of Madness
Morbid Angel took death metal and refined it much more to separate itself from extreme thrash bands such as Slayer and Celtic Frost. | | 4 |  | Obituary
Cause Of Death
One of the few bands besides Death to use cleaner death vocals so they can be easily understood. | | 5 |  | Deicide
Deicide
Another early death metal band, Deicide uses anti-christian lyrics similar to black metal bands rather than the gory lyrics found in most death metal bands. | | 6 |  | Atheist
Unquestionable Presence
Atheist was way far ahead of its time when they released their first album in 1989. They played extremely technical death metal beyond anything heard up to this point. | | 7 |  | Suffocation
Effigy of the Forgotten
Suffocation led death metal into a more technical and brutal direction while still retaining the classic death metal sound. | | 8 |  | Cannibal Corpse
Tomb of the Mutilated
Like Mayhem, Cannibal Corpse is probably the source of all the cute death metal stereotypes you hear all the time. | | 9 |  | Carcass
Heartwork
While a grind band at first, Carcass drifted into the world of death metal and became a pioneer of melodic death metal. | | 10 |  | Cryptopsy
None So Vile
It's None So fucking Vile, why else? | |
Lunarfall
11.15.08 | Autopsy's Severed Survival, Death's Human, and Sepultura's Beneath the Remains just missed the list, but they are also classic death metal albums. | DethThrasher
11.15.08 | Awesome list, needs Decapitateds Winds of Creation though
9 and 8 are FUCKING awesome and i need to get 10 badly | McP3000
11.15.08 | 2 is the incorrect Death album

11.15.08 | I cant stand Deicide. 2 should be Human. props to everything else though. | PigDestroyer89
11.15.08 | 3,6,9 and 10= very nice | masscows
11.16.08 | 9 sucks, 8 is only ok | ManWomanBoogie
11.16.08 | 7 needs to be higher. | Lunarfall
11.16.08 | I did the list in order when they came out. | ManWomanBoogie
11.16.08 | oh okay. | ASberg
11.16.08 | Masscows has obviously got a lobotomy. 9 is amazing. | heylelshalem
