I didn't feel I should make a poll as there are alot of bands I know I would leave out, and there are so many great ones. My top 3 are actually Hypocrisy, Seance, and Merciless. Mainly because they really set themselves apart from the rest without using the crunchy guitar tone. Merciless could almost be defined as a death/thrash or blackened death metal band, you'll be amazed how great their classic "The Awakening "is. I definitley think you should track down a copy of Seance' "Fornever Laid To Rest", excellent musicianship and really good cover art, which caught my eye. As for Hypocrisy, I probably dont need to say anything, you all know how awesome they are, always improving and evolving. Necrophobic, Unleashed, Entombed and Dismember are of course great as well. I am not a big fan of Carcass or Grave really, and there are some bands I still want to hear such as Epitaph, early Afflicted, early Therion and later Merciless.

Mega-Slayer Posts: 828	Permalink 23.09.2007 - 05:38 Mega-Slayer Posts: 828 Wow! At The Gates is an exceptionally good death metal band. Really the only melo-death band I care for, the adding of the violin is unique. I really like the drumming, some of the best, and I thought I had heard it all. Just got "The Red Sky Is Ours" yesterday, and it has definitely become a favorite of mine. ---- Intestinally Punctured Smurf Loading...

Skeggjadr Account deleted	Permalink 06.11.2007 - 16:10 Skeggjadr Account deleted No one has mentioned God Macabre... Easily one of the best Swedish death bands IMO. Even though they only made one album, it doesn't matter... I'd rather a band made that one great CD and then split rather than have a long career and produce a lot of crap. Which happens to a lot of bands... Loading...

ylside Staff Posts: 4727	Permalink 12.11.2007 - 12:55 ylside Staff Posts: 4727 No, They didn't ignore their death metal period since actually they did some death metal album (the actual Therion band members) under the Demonoid name. And well yes their early albums are awesome. Written by Guest on 06.11.2007 at 16:10 No one has mentioned God Macabre... Easily one of the best Swedish death bands IMO.

Which happens to a lot of bands... I quite agree here yes... one of the most refined takes on Swedish DM, as I read somewhere. Very doomy by moments. You might also check Gorement if you liked GM. Very good Swedeath. ---- Cynic - Pleading for Preservation Loading...
Abattoir Staff Posts: 3630	Permalink 12.11.2007 - 22:17 Abattoir Staff Posts: 3630 I would say Amon Amarth...and Scar Symmetry...great bands. Generally, I prefer melodic death more... Till now, every new album release from these two bands was an upgrade from the former albums...and that is great. Especially by Amon Amarth of course... Loading...

Whit out looking in MA I dont rember them EDDIT Seance I find them there seems good Seance is good, but actually I prefer Necrophobic. Their first two albums 'Nocturnal Silence' and 'Darkside' are masterpieces IMO. They have that old school sounding guitar ala Dismember and Entombed, but also incorporate some black metal in their style. Loading...
