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.

The swedes make good death metal indeed, it's a hard choice to pick one band in particular so the three bands that i enjoy the most are Bloodbath, Spawn of Possession and Vomitory.

I love a few bands but Dark Tranquillity is the most consistent so they get my vote.

Dark Tranquillity or In Flames but Scar Symmetry is pretty close but since they only have two albums out they can't compare to DT (I assume Melodic Death is okay)

Grave all the way! I think everyone has to give Grave some credit if your not a huge fan of them. Vomitory are very good also!

Nope, read the first post and you'll see.

EDIT: Why is Carcass mentioned in the first post? They are English not Swedish (althoguh they had one Swede in the line-up)

The topic title is "favorite DEATH METAL band from sweden", so to me its Hypocrisy by far, the first three records were fucking brutal as hell and then with Peter on vocals they kept with a very unique style of death metal, there was no comparisson with any other band out there

//Probably Meshuggah for me because they are so different and unique. For me their straight forward sound of Chaosphere and Destroy Erase Improve never really get too old. Also I love their weird computer generator sound effects they put on their guitars sometimes. Havent heard anything else like it//

Why would you mention Meshuggah in a thread about Swedish Death Metal when they are clearly a modern technical thrash band?

I will add Anata to my previous list. I made the mistake of not acknowledging this technical death metal band the first time i heard them. However, I now see how great they are, the tight musicianship, good songwriting abilities, and memorable melodies. Dreams of Death and Dismay is a monster of an album, i still need to hear TCD and i'm looking forward to their upcoming album.

There's so many! At the Gates, Vomitory, Wintersun, old Hypocrisy, old In Flames, Arch Enemy, etc

By the way, Meshuggah is not death metal, though it does have obvious death metal influences.

Well, neither Wintersun nor In Flames nor Arch Enemy are Death Metal. Wintersun is Extreme Power, and the other two are Gothenburg Metal, and not even Melodic Death.

Well I will choose ONLY ''death'' metal bands , and no melo-death or gothenburg or anything else.

So mine favourites bands would be Hypocrisy, some old Entombed, also Vomitory and Grave aren't bad either And Bloodbath of course...

Exactly. I didn't have to be broken into any crap. The thread name says "... Death Metal Band," not "Melodeath," or "Gothenburg" or anything else, so shut up before you get banned.

You might as well go hang yourself right now, Gothenburg is a form of melodeath, and melodeath is a form of death metal. I thought "death metal" meant every form of death metal. So I don't understand what your original purpose of replying to me was.
