Looking for different death metal bands.

[guitarsjb]

I need something new to listen to. I'm a big fan of Suffocation, Nile, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death...
So what else would I like?

[Inazone]

Although I don't own any of their albums yet, I really enjoyed Decapitated and Behemoth live. I also saw a newer band called Abysmal Dawn and bought their CD (first album?), which was pretty good despite a bit of a "budget" production compared to the bands you named.

[zeegler]

Carcass?

[seafoamer]

Obituary, Morbid Angel, Mortician.

I've been listening to Bring Me The Horizon lately, although they're prolly not "death metal"

[Baum83]

Do not get the new Decapitated "Organic Hallucinosis", their new singer sucks, and the songs on there as well. Get The Negation or one if its predecessors. You will want to check out Necrophagist's Epitaph if you haven't already, Behemoth's Thelema.6 is a nice album as well.
Other than that.. the usual suspects.. Malevolent Creation - Retribution, Cryptopsy - None So Vile... Bloodbath - Resurrection Through Carnage.. Vader - Litany.. depends on which albums you already know of these, as they're still pretty basic

[toejam]

Death
Kreator
Hate Eternal
Morbid Angel
Obituary
At The Gates

[HoWheels]

Poppy Seed Grinder, Decapitated, Hate Eternal, Necrophagist, Krisiun, Vital Remains

[Baum83]

Good call on Hate Eternal. Which leads me to another thing... do you want more melody or less melody in your deathmetal?

[xenophobe]

Technical brutal?

From what you listed I assume you already listen to Immolation, Vital Remains, Cryptopsy (duh how could I forget), and Zyklon... Try these in probably this order:

Spawn of Possession, Psycroptic, Ion-Dissonance, Deeds of Flesh, Dies Irae, Necrophagist, Severed Savior...

Hate Eternal's first album is great, with Doug Ceritto on guitar, but the later music isn't as good, IMO.

Thanks guys...looks like a great starting point!! This should keep me busy

[xenophobe]

I wish someone would make some recommendations to me as well. I've heard almost everything mentioned.

I'm really into Immolation, Cryptopsy, Suffocation, Psycroptic, Spawn of Possession, and most of the stuff that has been mentioned, but I'm looking for more brutal/technical.

[guitarsjb]

xeno..how about Cattle Decapitation and Goatwhore??

[xenophobe]

I like Cattle Decapitation... Goatwhore is alright. I'm looking for more technical guitar than either of them though.

I think I'm looking more along the lines of Immolation/Goreguts, Psycroptic, Spawn of Possession, Origin... New Ion Dissonance is pretty good, but a bit too grindcore-ish. Guess I'm still getting used to it.. I also don't mind the Death/Black stuff like Annal Nathrakh, Zyklon, Crionics, etc... as long as it's relatively technical guitar oriented.

I stopped checking out new metal for probably the last two years, so I'm not familiar with a lot of the newer stuff that might be out there now.

Oh, and if you want to check out some definitely mind-blowing time signatures, listen to some Psycroptic. If you want absolute technical, try some Spawn of Possession.

xeno..how about Cattle Decapitation and Goatwhore??

Cattle Decapitation is grind. There are quite a few good grind bands too.
You already like Napalm Death, so from that...Crowpath and To Separate Flesh From The Bone (Jeff from Carcass sings on their newest cd) are two good ones off the top of my head.

Death bands...also check out Centinex, Black Dahlia Murder, Amoral, Arsis (DEFINITELY check these guys out!...BRUTAL!), Dying Fetus, Neuraxis, Denounce His Name...

All bands that are currently in rotation in my playlist, and heavily recommended!!

[Mikernaut2]

probably not as heavy or "Death" like the bands that have been mentioned, but I thought the new Scar Symmetry had some pretty decent guitar playing and songs, cant recall anything else worth mentioning other then that.
