How could you not know who they are?

 
I'm asking myself how could I not have noticed until now that it was by Peter Tägtgren too. XD

Well, maybe they are not that popular in the US. Only have one album, though the above videos always came with Nuclear Blast video comp sets, so I used to always see his videos. The list I posted is in order of least favorite to most favorite. But they have always signed to big labels both Nuclear Blast or Roadrunner. It's not that the band has ever been that good in my eyes. Though I'm not an expert on Industrial Metal. Maybe they are great in Industrail Metal circles?

Some industrial (or at least influenced by industrial) metal bands I like:

A common misconception about industrial metal is that it's dance beats or something, but that's not what it is at all, at least not most of the time. Some of them are more like extreme metal (thrash, death, black, etc.) with electronic influences. You're very familiar with at least some of those artists, so you know what I'm talking about.
 
And of course, there are the more mainstream ones that are considered too close to rock to be listed on Metal Archives. (Marilyn Manson, Mushroomhead, Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, Rob Zombie, Stabbing Westward, Static-X, and so on.)

I've delved into it a bit, but not as much as I should have by now. Blame Marco Polo and Outlander for being incredible shows, heh. I really like some of Rotting Christ and Slugdge, but stuff like Antaeus just doesn't work for me. I'll delve back into the playlist soon.

My knowledge of classic DM albums is limited. I want to get some essential earlier DM albums. Stuff like Morbid Angel, early Carcass, Immolation, Bolt Thrower, Entombed. Could anyone point me in the direction of a list of classics? I'm not looking to buy 100 albums. Maybe 10-20 "must haves". Looking for the "Number of the Beast/Stained Glass/Paranoid" kind of albums in classic DM....

Not an exhaustive list by any means but here a few of my favorites:
 

1. Entombed- Left Hand Path
2. Bloodbath- Resurrection Through Carnage (okay it came out in 2002 but it is still my favorite death metal album ever and very much in the same vein as the classics. Also Mikeal Akerfeldt has the best death metal voice there is)
3. Suffocation- Pierced from Within

 
Can't say I really have a favorite Bolt Thrower album and I haven't listened to them in a while but any of their earlier material is pretty damn good.

Atheist: Piece of Time, Unquestionable Presence, Elements
Autopsy: Severed Survival, Mental Funeral
Bolt Thrower: Realm of Chaos, War Master, The IVth Crusade, ...For Victory
Carcass: Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious, Heartwork
Cryptopsy: None So Vile
Cynic: Focus
Death: Leprosy, Human, Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic, The Sound of Perseverance
Demilich: Nespithe
Dismember: Like an Ever Flowing Stream, Indecent & Obscene
Edge of Sanity: Prugatory Afterglow, Crimson
Entombed: Left Hand Path, Clandestine, Wolverine Blues
Gorguts: The Erosion of Sanity, Obscura
Immolation: Dawn of Possession, Here in After
Morbid Angel: Altars of Madness, Blessed Are the Sick, Covenant
 
Some of those are pushing into the late 90s, but most are late 80s-mid 90s. That's as solid a death metal foundation as I could come up with on the fly while looking at my collection, though there's undoubtedly a few in my collection I accidentally glazed over, and of course quite a few that I don't own that I probably ought to. I would argue that if you're looking for 5 or so must-haves, you could just go with Death's discography and call it good. If you want to spread out and dip your toes into a few different flavors of death metal, maybe pick up Death: Symbolic, Cryptopsy: None So Vile, Entombed: Wolverine Blues, Carcass: Heartwork, Atheist: Unquestionable Presence and/or Gorguts: Obscura, Cynic: Focus, and Demilich: Nespithe.
 
My two cents, for what it's worth.

That is awesome guys. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to C and P into a word doc and this will be my next musical project. I'm an olds from the 80's when I first started listening in earnest to metal, but I didn't cross over into extreme metal until...oh, about 2005 I'd say. And, I bought a bunch of extreme metal from that time forward. So, yeah, I moved from stoner, doom into some BM and DM. I did go back and get the early BM classics but just bought DM at the time I thought I'd like. So, that was stuff like Nile, Behemoth, mid period Opeth, Kataklysm, Hail of Bullets, Asphyx and add stuff each year to my collection. Often when I say I like a certain sound, it seems its tagged more as OSDM, melodeth or doom death more so than technical. So, time to go back in time a little and listen to more of the bands I hear written about but maybe haven't heard.

Keep us updated--I think a lot of us would love to be able to listen to these records for the first time again, and the closest we can get is when someone else does and tells us what they think!

The two Entombed records mentioned already go here.
