Dismember - Like An Ever Flowing Stream Swedish death metal at its finest. Dark, brooding and too old-school. |

Suffocation - Pierced From Within So brutal and so damn WTF? inducing. Every lead, every solo, every beat and every riff is of world-class quality. Pierced is my favorite death metal album, and will probably remain so. |
