Well I got Autopsy - Mental Funeral
Must admit this is great stuff, much better than I would ever thought. I like the fact that music uses many tempos slow/mid/fast (plus some evil sludge) and the vocals are pretty sick with many distortion variations and delivery speeds.........amazing all the stuff you can go back and find! Bonus points for TM.....

I like this much better than the later ultra fast brutal DM that most people think is great.

Yes EZ also makes good call also with Autopsy.......not sure if Sodom is considered DM, probably thrash/speed metal but I picked up Agent Orange and Tapping the Vein to go with 1st two albums which I already have, this thread costing me money but getting more wicked tunes cheap

Now that I have Autopsy your top 5 DM looking very solid.......except I am not a fan of Cannibal Corpse

I highly recommend you tracking down Disharmonic Orchestra's Not to Be Undimensional Conscious. I guarantee it will be up your alley.

You be right..........order has been placed for used CD, sounds very progressive like Cynic

My favorite Death Metal artists(and only I listen to) are Disarmonia Mundi, In Flames, Scar Symmetry, and Soilwork.

All great artists, except IF for pumping out not as good albums(RtR - ASOP).

Last 4 albums are just essential death metal for me: -individual thought patterns -human -symbolic -sound of persaverance

Indeed. The best part about Death isnt their "brutality" in sonics, crushing and intense production to fake brutality, but simply awesome and violent riffs, and not a mismash of "progressive" riffs but riffs that go together with a support of drums and bass guitar producing simply excellent songs. Song Together As One from Human album is my fav, no nonsense t(h)rashing deathmetal to the core that works like fist hitting an eye.

So, did you get any of these albums yet?

YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Got two Autopsy:
-Mental Funeral
-Severed Survival
Both are very good but Mental Funeral is easily my fav.......as I mentioned previously very good varied dirtorted vocal tecnique (far superior to Death for instance) and music spans the gamut from slow evil sludge to hyper shredfest, fabulous! (they don't make cool stuff like this anymore)

Also got two Disharmonic Orchestra Cds...........but they are still on the CDs to play pile, more info soon

OK gave DO "Undimensional Conscious" a spin and it is interesting but not really my favorite style. Unusual beat patterns with funky up front bass sound, perhaps too progressive for its own good, tries hard to be different sounding.............vocals aren't bad but I like Autposy much more overall.

Then...you may actually like DO's first album Expositionprophylaxe - it's more straightforward death metal - but very agressive and tight. Anyway, glad you like Autopsy. I think they're still one of the more underated dm bands.

Expositionprophylaxe - hell yeah!

no Repulsion fans?

I do like that better but seems pretty one dimensional compared to Autopsy who have more varied musical tempos and vocal delivery

Just got Between the Buried and Me - Colors. Ants of the Sky is an awesome track.

 

[Ghoul]

Picked up Septic Flesh's - Communion album. Some awesome stuff. Clear yet thick production. One of my favorite releases of this year so far.
