This is a list of all the death metal albums I have listened to that I thought were at all worth remembering. Like my other genre lists, this is just a record of my own listening experience that I use for personal organization, not a definitive account of the best or all of the death metal out there; there will probably be albums or bands that are not death metal in the strictest sense. You'll find some OSDM, melodeath, tech death, death-doom, maybe a bit of deathcore, I don't know. Maybe some non-death metal albums by death metal bands that I put in here just because.

1.Death - The Sound Of Perseverance

2.Death - Symbolic

3.At The Gates - With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness

4.At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul

5.Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side

This is a work in progress. Not official until around January 1, 2020. Most of these albums were listened to in August as I lost interest during March. I did not really listen to anything between then to the beginning of August. I've missed out on a lot but I'm hoping to come across that hidden gem few know about. Anyways, enjoy the list. I've checked a few lists on here and they may or may not have been influential. My ratings go as high as 100.0%. You have to at least get a 60.1% to make it on this list.

1.Pensées Nocturnes - Grand Guignol Orchestra

2.Inculter - Fatal Visions

3.Ossuarium - Living Tomb

4.Anti-Hero - Rolling Thunder

5.Suffering Hour - Dwell

It may have been a slow start to 2019, but May and June have started to kick things into high gear. I recently decided to start collecting vinyl, which has lead me to start a list. It's been a couple years since I've done one, so I figured I'm due. Enjoy.

2.Haunter - Sacramental Death Qualia

3.Schammasch - Hearts Of No Light
