May 15, 2020 · The 50 best death metal albums ever: 10-1 Death metal crawled out of the swamps of Florida in the second half of the 80s and instantly exploded like a festering corpse. This was heavy metal taken to its extreme: a barrage of buzzsaw guitars, blastbeats and gargled, guttural vocals that spat out macabre and frequently incomprehensible lyrics ...
- Entombed – Clandestine (1991) If their debut album put Swedish death metal firmly on the map, Entombed’s second was all about showing who was boss. Clandestine sounded immaculate: furious and visceral but majestic and precise, with more hooks than an angler’s tackle-bag and some of the most lethal riffs ever written in the name of the Dark One.
- Dismember – Like An Ever Flowing Stream (1991) A cast-iron classic from the seminal Stockholm scene of the early 90s, Like An Ever Flowing Stream sits alongside Entombed’s Left Hand Path as an absolute pinnacle of Swedish death metal.
- Celtic Frost – Morbid Tales (1984) The first fruits of Tom G. Warrior’s post-Hellhammer endeavour, Celtic Frost’s Morbid Tales pre-dates more standard notions death metal by a couple of years, but the musical and spiritual connections between songs like Dethroned Emperor and just about every death metal band ever is impossible to deny.
- Napalm Death – Utopia Banished (1992) As explosive as ever but sounding considerably bigger and dirtier than they had on 1990’s Scott Burns-produced Harmony Corruption, Napalm Death sounded reborn on Utopia Banished, which is widely regarded as a benchmark release for both the band and extreme music in general.
- Death - Symbolic. Expectedly so, many Death albums were nominated for this list. Basically, we could put entire discography by the famous Chuck Schuldiner-led band.
- Opeth - Blackwater Park. Hey, Mikael, we know that you probably won't ever release another Opeth album with growls. But just know that many death metal fans really miss this in your music.
- Carcass - Heartwork. The same city that gave us The Beatles also brought death metal champions Carcass. And it seems that only the good stuff originates from Britain, as they're considered to be the pioneers of the grindcore movement.
- Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness. Was there ever a more suiting name and more suiting artwork than those for Morbid Angel's debut album? "Altars of Madness" is just what you'd expect from a bunch of late-1980s angry Florida dudes.
