Death metal is a genre which incorporates anger, energy, cleverness, virtuosity and creativity. Essential albums, one per band.
15.
1.
Dan Swanö - Moontower
Best death art there is, by a greatest metal artist
15.
2.
Cynic - Focus
Magical symbiosis of profound prog death and eastern motives. I enjoy all their later albums, though they dropped metal and became prog.
15.
3.
Opeth - Damnation
Established classic. Actually, there is a solid block of Still Life, Blackwater Park, Damnation and Ghost Reveries, all four are essential.
15.
4.
Pan.thy.monium - Khaooohs
Traditionally overlooked gem, by the same greatest Dan Swano. Expand to the full trilogy of albums.
15.
5.
Edge Of Sanity - Crimson
And one more by Dan, traditionally praised. Here goes the sequel. I also love Purgatory Afterglow, it's fun.
15.
6.
Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor
Just perfect tech death
15.
7.
Anata - The Conductor's Departure
Another perfect tech death, second item of a perfect pair.
15.
8.
Death - The Sound Of Perseverance
The say it's not quite death, but still classic prog death. Individual Thought Patterns and Symbolic are also close.
15.
9.
Obscura - Omnivium
Not that mindblowing, but I love them. Cosmogenesis is a plus one.
15.
10.
Carcass - Surgical Steel
They a bit simple, but quite enjoyable. Somehow I don't like their earlier works.
15.
11.
Atheist - Elements
Great foundation of prog death. I like them less than they deserve, honestly.
15.
12.
Sadist - Tribe
Somewhat strange, but also classic
15.
13.
Hieronymus Bosch - Artificial Emotions
Well, it's the best russian prog death, so I'm being patriotic here.
15.
14.
Fleshgod Apocalypse - Oracles
I don't generally like brutal, but these guys are cute.
15.
15.
Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side
Deathly-folky-vikingly, love them.
