- 1984–1996, 1998–2001
- Death. This choice is just obvious to me, both in terms of discography quality and influence. All the albums are great, and none of them sound the same.
- Immolation. Immolation is probably the most consistent death metal band out there. To hear albums like “Majesty and Decay” and “Atonement” from a band that’s been running since 1988 is amazing, not to mention the twisted music style and increasingly passionate lyrics.
- Dismember. Dismember are the kings of Swedish death metal for me. The whole discography is solid, but the first two albums and the “Pieces” EP is the where the band truly excelled.
- Blood Red Throne. The power of the riff is big in death metal music. And if you’re looking for riffs, there’s nowhere better than Norway’s Blood Red Throne.

- Death. Orlando, Florida metallers Death are considered the pioneers of the death metal genre, with their 1987 debut album, Scream Bloody Gore, regarded as the scene’s spearhead.
- Cannibal Corpse. Cannibal Corpse’s imagery is as iconic as it is horrifying. From their 1990 debut album, Eaten Back To Life, through to Butchered At Birth, Tomb Of The Mutilated and 2017’s Red Before Black, they have racked up two million sales, making them death metal’s biggest-selling band of all time.
- Obituary. Florida was a hotbed for death metal in the 80s, and if Death were frontrunners of the scene, Tampa’s Obituary took it to a wider audience.
- Morbid Angel. Formed in 1983, Morbid Angel’s first four albums – Altars Of Madness (1989), Blessed Are The Sick (1991), Covenant (1993) and Domination (1995) – are consistently held up as death metal classics.
- Gatecreeper. It's no surprise to anyone that Gatecreeper have taken the world by storm. The Arizona death metal powerhouse have it all – incredible riffs, believable ferocity, fifty-story production, a killer name, and a live show that will make any attendee move.
- Spectral Voice. It doesn’t necessarily make Spectral Voice’s music better that they only perform with all the lights turned off. But it does speak to the artistic dedication one can hear in the tunes of this Denver outfit.
- Temple Of Void. Detroit’s Temple Of Void have been hyped up heavily in the underground since the release of 2014’s Of Terror And the Supernatural, and every word of that praise is deserved.
- Venom Prison. Rarely does a death metal band match their message with momentum quite like Venom Prison do. The South Wales five-piece take an approach to their art and lyrics that might make your typical conservative death metaller uncomfortable, but they back it up with so much vehemence and power – dear God, that fucking guitar tone!
