Much old swedish death metal are played in B-tuning. At least many sunlight studio bands. Nihilist plays this one in B i think.

It depends on what your definition of "Death Metal" is, but Amon Amarth - Pursuit of Vikings should be quite fun.

Pretty much Carcass' whole catalogue is in B tuning. Arch Enemy's first 3 albums are also in B tuning...

Heartwork by Carcass is good, uses all 5 strings so if you want to play a song which uses all of them, give that a go

This might not be the answer you are looking for but i would try learning songs that aren't in standard B on your standard B guitar. the positions of the scales/chords say on songs in standard D or E would help you learn the fretboard without having to tune up to that exact tuning.

as for tabs, transpose or learn by ear, you will be surprised at how fast you get figuring out pitches/intervals/riffs without having to think too much. learning to listen in such a way is very important in a band

demonical, cryptopsy - off the top of my head.

I literally made an account just so I could comment Carcass, who play in B standard (and every band that bases their entire sound on Heartwork - like In Flames etc.), Another great band would be Type O Negative who also play in B. Can't believe none of you mentioned these legends.
