slikphuk 07.31.16	new death fortress is good https://deathfortress.bandcamp.com/album/deathless-march-of-the-unyielding recs above are also great
Avagantamos 07.31.16	death emperor
zaruyache 07.31.16	You can also look at the RYM chart for top bm/dm. Not to be lazy, but it's a good starting point since it shows what bands people love the most. Here's the bm chart: http://tinyurl.com/jtmagmt
zaruyache 07.31.16	but if you're just trying to get into black/death metal, I'd go with some of the less inaccessible ones: Naglfar, Dissection, WitTR, Deafheaven, alcest, Bosse-de-Nage, Myrkgrav, Moonsorrow. For death metal stuff like In Flames, Amon Amarth, Hypocrisy, Bloodbath, and Edge of Sanity should be pretty accessible, too (those were mostly melodeath, but w.e).
CaimanJesus 07.31.16	Pestilence, bloodbath, enslaved, death, cryptopsy, bolt thrower
CaimanJesus 07.31.16	Burzum too
SpiritCrusher2 07.31.16	Immolation
Danred97 08.01.16	Thanks for the recs guys. I'll check some of these out. Just as a side note, I heard a song off the new Be'lakor album, and I really enjoyed it.
DatsNotDaMetulz 08.01.16	Sinsaenum's "Echoes of the Tortured" is fairly entry level blackened death metal. It's pretty decent and should be good for introducing new listeners to the genres its members come from.
SpiritCrusher2 08.01.16	"Just as a side note, I heard a song off the new Be'lakor album, and I really enjoyed it." then you might want to start with melodic death metal, since it's more accessible and you already like some metalcore which took a lot from it, BUT most of it really isn't like real death metal at all, so yea.. I think your safest bet would be Symbolic by Death. it's not melodeath, but it's really accessible and one of the best death metal albums ever.
Funeralopolis 08.01.16	Opeth, Wintersun, In Flames, Enslaved
DatsNotDaMetulz 08.01.16	Melodeath is great. Modern metalcore was started when bands took the metalcore of the late 90s (pioneered by Shai Hulud and Earth Crisis) and took melodeath elements, turning it into what some like to call AtTheGatescore. So At The Gates might be a good place to go for melodic death metal.
SpiritCrusher2 08.01.16	ATG [2] oh yea, check Slaughter of The Soul hard while you're at it, give Heartwork by Carcass a go too.
DatsNotDaMetulz 08.01.16	Slaughter of the Soul is that Killswitch Engage and all subsequent metalcore bands wanted to be, but because they couldn't play the notes they just did 0-0-0 chugging.
SpiritCrusher2 08.01.16	haha never thought KSE really ripped off ATG as much as Black Dahlia Murder or As I Lay Dying or Darkest Hour or some other band I can't remember now... but yea, they kinda set the standard for fast-paced melodic riffs on that album for the next 20 years lol
SpiritCrusher2 08.01.16	waiting for elitists to rip us apart for recommending that album
DatsNotDaMetulz 08.01.16	Elitists hate everything. They hate their own stuff if it gets too popular.
majordevlin 08.01.16	Origin Dark Tranquillity Cephalic Carnage Cattle decapitation
Egarran 08.01.16	Akercocke - Words left unspoken, deeds left undone.
RedRightHand 08.02.16	The new Defeated Sanity is pretty bad ass, the red right hand does declare.
