That's pretty much the coolest band name I've ever heard.

I got Funeral Mist's first full-length when it came out years ago. It was massively hyped by all the Kvltmasters. Big let down. Haven't heard them since, so they my have changed..

Suffocation (death metal)

but the breathing fire demo is sweet

Carcass - 99% responsible for both goregrind and melodic death metal. Did what they did and split. Would not have had it any other way. The reunion tour was incredible. "Nercoticism", imo, was their finest work.
Death - Chuck was/is death metal - any and all albums were amazing.
Morbid Angel - the A thru F albums were amazing. They have since fallen below the radar.
Gorguts - "Obscura" is one of the first/best technical death metal albums ever.
Candiria - don't hate - they consistantly killed it in many different styles of metal/hardcore
Meshuggah - in a league of their own
Dillinger Escape Plan - whatever "core" you want to call it they are talented musicians.
Testament - "The Gathering" is one of the best metal albums ever
At the Gates - had the scene by the balls in the mid 90's
Suffocation - probably the most relevant/consistant band in death metal
Despised Icon - deathcore isn't as gay as everyone says

As I've said before - excellent album, but I wouldn't call it Death Metal. I don't know what I'd call it. They completely transcended everything on that one.

**nick > jesus** · 11-06-2008, 05:42 PM

Samothrace is some good down tempo, doom stuff. Heaviest show i've even seen

I guess since they were pretty much death metal before that album I didn't want to strip it away completely. It indeed went above and beyond. So amazing.

My friend had me listen to these guys recently. Fuckin nasty (in a good way).

Don't think I'll get into them but they are definately doing some crazy shit.

Maudlin of the Well. More of a prog rock then a metal band, but this song is fairly heavy.

I've been into Gojira lately.

Exodus re-recorded Bonded By Blood, titled Let There Be Blood. Title track:

As you can hear, it's quite solid.

Also, Hell's Breath, off of their original demo. Proof that Kirk Hammett is a fucking thief:

I've been listening to Terror Propaganda by Craft a lot lately. It's an older album (2002, I think) but the vocalist is inhuman. I don't really listen to a whole lot of raw satan corpsepaint style black metal anymore - mostly because the genre is clogged with a million shitty Darkthrone clones - but Craft do it right.

Blood Must Be Shed by Zyklon B (not to be confused with the shitty death metal band Zyklon) was recently reissued - all I had before was a cassette tape. Another great black metal "album".
