Not sure if there's a topic of this sort around but if you have any Death/Thrash recommendations post them here. I've never really been very interested in Death metal until recently. I've been listening to, and enjoying the likes of Atheist, Master and Opprobrium (only their older albums so far). I don't know a great deal about the genre but I guess what I'm looking for is any suggestions of old classics etc.
Solstice
Horrific (side project of Acid Witch's Slasher Dave)
Skeletonwitch
Epidemic
Witchery
Incubus (the death/thrash band, not the shitty mainstream band)
Demolition Hammer
Psychic Possessor
Agressor
Chemical Breath
Mortuary
No Return
Magnus
Demiricous
Exhumed
Deadhead
Sabbat (Japanese Sabbat)
Killpower

Sometimes in metal they have called me:
The Minneapolis Metal Music Examiner -I write articles on metal in the MN area for Examiner.com
The Metal Detector -A history of digging up old forgotten metal bands
Thrash Master -Famous for my Walls O' Thrash
Cannibal Corpse are together with Deicide the most overrated dm bands ever imo.
I would probably agree. However, I'm not sure we should consider both bands as old school DM. Imo, they lean more towards Brutal Death.
Cryptopsy (None So Vile and the other earlier albums)
Suffocation
Dying Fetus
Defeated Sanity
Devourment
Disgorge
These are my suggestions if you wish to know what Brutal Death Metal is. If you listen to CC or Deicide after listening to any of the above, you would probably say that they are nothing but normal Old School Death Metal bands.
I just scrolled through quickly and might have missed it, but no mention of Cadaver? I just heard In Pains for the first time recently, and it is really fucking cool. Reminds me a little of Death or Athiest, although the sound is maybe a little grittier than both.
I checked out all of the death/ thrash bands that I was unfamiliar with, with the exception of those on Balthazine's post (will get to that). Of the ones I heard for the first time, Poison, Incubus/ Opprobrium, Merciless, and Infernal Majesty sounded the best. Of those bands, which albums should I target first or stay away from.

Of these bands, I like Demolition Hammer the best of course, although I am already familar with them. Of the bands I have not heard of, Mortuary might just be my favorite, although metal-archives has about 15 bands of this name. Assuming it is the one which released Blackened Images, they are pretty fucking good and raw death/ thrash.
No Return and Demiricous are also pretty impressive. But I saw some poor reviews for Demiricous because it is apparently plagiarizing material. I've only heard a few songs from them so far, and although I wouldn't call them original, plagiarizing seems like a strong word. Is there any truth to this?
You should listen to these new bands coming out. playing DEATHRASH.

Kind of an unnoticed album really. It's a bit tech-y but not in a wanky way and they don't fuck around. It's quite good and you can find it around the interwebs for less than $5 pretty easily.
Ubique
Nom de Guerre
Salient and Redoubt
Demoralize (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L0H0TTNxkU&feature=youtu.be)
Writhe: Fettered to a Corpse

Oh shit, finally found a death thrash thread. Gotta get in on this shit, bros.

Bands that suck: Dream Theater, Dragonforce, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, the folk rock half of Led Zeppelin, 99% of thrash metal bands from the turn of the century, Mumford & Sons, any death metal band influenced by Necrophagist.
Off their new album. Reminds me somewhat of the band Nails, in that they fuse death with a kind of hardcore tinge. Very nice and bassy with lots of thundering drum sound.
