Summer Slayin - Death Metal Tourney

People kept requesting this during my last couple of BM tourneys so let's do this. Summer is the best season for DM anyway (just look at Florida in the 90s amiright). Anyway, like the BM tourney, 16 recs are going into this, let's try and keep it obscure (under 30 votes I guess) so we all come out of here with something new.
1Morbider
When Darkness Returns

SCREAM! - A Czech band that has mastered the Swedish art of chunky riffs. The nice thing about these guys is that, rather than sounding like straight Entombed ripoffs (looking at you Entrails), they inject their songs with some tasteful use of melody without going all lame melodeath.

Check it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAXw54pKHNg
2Temple Of Baal
Mysterium

ZippaThaRippa - An absolutely rippin' blackened death metal band. A maelstrom of gnashing riffs steeped in an unhealthy dose of Satan. A handful of brilliant melodies and A LOT of lyrics about chopping off heads. In a word: charming.

3Necrovation
Breed Deadness Blood

hal1ax - Modern swedeath band playing relentless, crusty OSDM similar to Nihilist, with a little bit of carnage thrown in.

4Asphodelus
Dying Beauty & the Silent Sky

NLD - A death-doom album from 2016 as beautiful and majestic as it is mournful. At only 22 minutes it is a brief listen, but it manages to engross the listener with its well-developed atmosphere and strong songwriting throughout.

5Reptilian
Perennial Void Traverse

Gameofmetal - Really fucked up kinda doomy, kinda blackish old school dm that calls to mind obliteration and early darkthrone.

6Artery Eruption
Gouging Out Eyes of Mutilated Infants

iloveyouall - potentially the most demented and utterly retarded slam you'll hear. out-of-time blasts, sludgy grooves and gurgles galore, artery eruption make waking the cadaver look like necrophagist.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=La0QLyAJwMg
7Nuclear Death
All Creatures Great and Eaten

Nazzadan - Fast and raw death metal with some thrashy grind thrown in the mix. One of the first extreme bands to feature a female vocalist, Lori Bravo is anything but a gimmick as she delivers some of the best harsh vocals I've ever heard.



Youtube playlist of the album. It came bundled with their EP For Our Dead, so skip the first 3 tracks I guess. Or listen to them, they rip hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG_MImwLSbQ&index=1&list=PLOL2P3LeetOv4eiX3WmXE_n7DYfXkaLJx
8Atrocity
Hallucinations

Hyperion1001 - Atrocity play technical death metal, but they play it heavy as fuck. The closest approximation I can give is that it's like Atheist, but way more death metal than everything else. Their debut, Hallucinations, is about as good as tech death gets honestly. Plus it's produced by Scott Burns, which means it sounds awesome as hell. Do you like Demilich? Well this sounds nothing like that, but you'll probably dig this for similar reasons. Highly rec'd.

9Moribund
Oracular Eyes

Jacquibim - Criminally overlooked Swiss album that brings pure riffs forged in Satan's blast furnace out of hardened corundum. These riffs are so hard they bring to mind the omnipotence paradox; can god create a riff so hard he himself cannot play it? No one knows m/

10Assorted Heap
Mindwaves

TheSpirit - Mindwaves by Assorted Heap is quite the thrash album; beefing up their sound to incorporate more elements from the then newly found death metal scene, Assorted Heap played a form of highly technical death/thrash that really emphasized the latter. Great riffs, great drumming, songs like "Mindwaves" display the band at their heaviest while tracks like "Holy Ground" reveal the band's keen sense of melody, an often hidden element that does wonders when revealed. Overall, Mindwaves is an incredibly solid piece of extreme metal, a must have for all fans.

11Bloodspill
Demo

adr - Early dm band formed in 86 from US that nobody has heard about, but they've pretty much recorded the best demo ever. Raw and filthy with some 1st wave bm thrown in the mix with surprisingly long songs that keep it varied and interesting from start to finish. My english is shit and i'm going to bed, so fuck the ~creative~ description

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u89EHeV9wyg
12Xysma
Yeah

Keyblade - very fun, groovy and melodic death n roll record by this eclectic finnish band which was a huge departure from their carcass worhsiping demo being heavily infused with rock n roll instead of grind

13Henker
Slave Of My Art

MarsKid - Fast, hard-hitting techincal death metal from France. Tracks speed along with amazing drum play and shredding guitars. Pretty fun album, hard to ask for more.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyS1BSPK5Mc
14Desecravity
Orphic Signs

Sinternet - 'brutal tech death from Japan that's all over the place in a good way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj85rn3rtso
15Sacriphyx
The Western Front

Hawks - Death metal with a heavy NWOBHM influences and hints of black, thrash, and doom as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfNw-5kYgIs
16Cemetery (Deu)
Enter the Gate

ShadowsRemain - really meaty, obscure german dm with some similarities to eructation (whose demo all of you should also get your asses on if you don't have it too) with a more progressive, spontaneous side as well (reminds me of dark millennium at times)

(Pretty sure the whole album is there if you scroll all the way down) https://soundcloud.com/cemeterydeathmetal
