MementoMori's Favourite Death Metal - Top 10
Since I have been listening to a lot of death metal these past few days, from an expansive listening list part of which I outlined in a list I made for this site two days ago, I thought I would assemble this provisional top ten (plus five honourable mentions) of my, theretofore, favourite death metal bands (one album per band, in rough order of preference). I have made this list, also, so it can function a point of comparison for after I have gone through my current playlist in full.
Note: I have a massive bias towards the more strange, progressive, technical, and 'dissonant', sides of the genre (so you are unlikely to find a lot of more straightforward old school death metal on this list). | | 15 |  | Demilich
Nespithe
Honourable mention.
(Probably do not appreciate this band as much as some, but I still appreciate them a great deal). | | 14 |  | Suffocation
Pierced From Within
Honourable mention.
(Here primarily for their earlier material). | | 13 |  | Growth (AUS)
The Smothering Arms of Mercy
Honourable mention.
(Very excited to listen to their latest even though I cannot it imagine it will live up to the debut).
(P.S. listened to the sophomore: indeed did not hit like the first, but still absolutely outstanding). | | 12 |  | Stargazer (AUS)
The Scream That Tore the Sky
Honourable mention. | | 11 |  | Blood Incantation
Hidden History Of The Human Race
Honourable mention.
(Only enjoyable when they play actual dm, not when they venture into the realms of psychedelic ambiance; luckily they primarily do the former and with proficiency). | | 10 |  | Necrophagist
Epitaph | | 9 |  | Immolation
Close to a World Below
(Here primarily for their earlier material). | | 8 |  | Atheist
Unquestionable Presence | | 7 |  | Artificial Brain
Labyrinth Constellation | | 6 |  | Defeated Sanity
The Sanguinary Impetus
(Could be higher honestly; still need to listen to their latest: quite excited, but saving the best for last). | | 5 |  | Pyrrhon
The Mother of Virtues
(Still need to listen to their latest also: again quite excited, but again saving the best for last). | | 4 |  | Death
The Sound of Perseverance
(Here primarily for Human onwards). | | 3 |  | Ad Nauseam
Imperative Imperceptible Impulse | | 2 |  | Gorguts
Obscura | | 1 |  | Ulcerate
Everything Is Fire | |

04.20.26 | @AffableMartyr: always a challenging listen, but very rewarding. Still in many ways incomparable.
@budgie: indeed it does. | rage11111ro
