OLD SCHOOL: the best death metal bands from Tampa, Florida (not in any particular order). I don't really know why Tampa happened to be the birthplace of death metal, maybe it's because of all the retiring old people being so close to death (I kid, I kid).

Anyway if you want to get associated with old school death metal, start at the top and work your way down.
