HenchmanOfSanta 05.25.13	Some classics to start you off: Carcass - Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious Entombed - Left Hand Path Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness Dismember - Like an Ever Flowing Stream Gorguts - The Erosion of Sanity Obituary - Cause of Death Deicide - Legion Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes Demilich - Nespithe
lyon1535 05.25.13	Doomy: Autopsy - Severed Survival and Mental Funeral Obituary - Cause of Death Pure: Death - Leprosy Pestilence - Consuming Impulse Massacre - From Beyond Possessed - Seven Churches Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness Vader - De Profundis Techincal: Death - Human Atheist - Unquestionable Presence Cynic - Focus Cryptopsy - None So Vile Nocturnus - The Key Gorguts - Obscura (not really entry-level; you'll want to be well-acquainted with death metal before approaching this one) Hope some of these help
HenchmanOfSanta 05.25.13	I'm not sure there's a level of death metal knowledge you need before listening to Obscura. Just general ability to handle music that's ugly and weird. That album is fucking bizarre regardless of genre and it rules.
lyon1535 05.25.13	True, it's mostly just weird as hell, but I feel like being a listener of death metal makes you somewhat more prepared for the shit going on in that album, especially tech death. I couldn't even listen to it at first until I'd listened to a lot of other metal first.
Geadom 05.25.13	Forget ANY other suggestion and jam the albums Henchman and Lyon reccomended, you CANT go wrong with any of these. m/
pissbore 05.25.13	Morbid Angel - Abominations of Desolation
pissbore 05.25.13	also, deathcore is in no way, shape, or form involved in the "death metal totem pole"
tempest-- 05.25.13	disembowelment
TheSpaceMan 05.25.13	I second that shit about Obscura
Geadom 05.25.13	If anything, is Covenant by Morbid Angel he should be checking first.
pissbore 05.25.13	i'd say formulas instead of covenant
Geadom 05.25.13	Covenant is the most accesible MA album bro. At this rate, he`ll end up listening to Illud, haha
pissbore 05.25.13	i would say gateways is even more accessible than covenant, esp given the more modern production
SubtleBody 05.25.13	Sempiternal Deathreign - The Spooky Gloom
Geadom 05.25.13	who the f are Sempiternal Deathreign to be rec. on a DM list with so many classics?

Geadom 05.25.13	deathcore is in no way, shape, or form involved in the "death metal totem pole" [3]
climactic 05.25.13	as much as you all hate to admit it......it is. its basically a direct result of brutal death metal with some metalcore thrown in the mix
LampshadePelican 05.25.13	I'm not necessarily new to death metal, I just don't have many in my collection and what not. Thanks a ton to everyone and their suggestions. Time to get busy!

LampshadePelican 05.25.13	Maveth sounds great so far. Talk about over distortion lol
LampshadePelican 05.25.13	Reminds me of the tone Trap Them has

LampshadePelican 05.25.13	Thanks. I just love that feeling I get from Norwegian BM. I have a lot of Norwegian blood so it feels extra awesome. haha
Dodecahedron 05.25.13	A few good off-shoots from Windir, formed after the band broke up after Valfar's death: Cor Scorpii Vreid Mistur

SubtleBody 05.26.13	"who the f are Sempiternal Deathreign to be rec. on a DM list with so many classics?" Sempiternal Deathreign is an cult classic doom/dm band. He said he wanted doom/dm, and Sempiternal Deathreign is essential old-school.
pissbore 05.26.13	possessed - seven churches ^^^^6^^^should be made your utmost priority^^^^^^^^
LampshadePelican 05.26.13	Sempiternal Deathreign was actually very good as well. Listened to seven churches last night and enjoyed it. My favorite so far has been Krypts, Taake, Gorguts and Immolation.
pissbore 05.26.13	morbid angel - abominations of desolation necrophagia - season of the dead death - scream bloody gore autopsy - severed survival morbid angel - altars of madness sadus - illusions grotesque - in the embrace of evil at the gates - gardens of grief death strike - fuckin' death darkthrone - soulside journey entombed - left hand path all of these should be your life's top priority right now
pissbore 05.26.13	also, bathory - under the sign of the black mark / blood fire death absolute essentials, you simply comatose and not living until you've heard both of those albums
pissbore 05.26.13	and lets not forget hellhammer - satanic rites as well as celtic frost - morbid tales
pissbore 05.26.13	if nothing else though, make sure you check out sodom - in the sign of evil one of the most important metal debuts of all time
LampshadePelican 05.26.13	Alright man. Thanks. I'll dive in to those soon.
ShadowRemains 05.26.13	"who the f are Sempiternal Deathreign to be rec. on a DM list with so many classics?" the spooky gloom is a seminal death/doom record, shut the fuck up
Geadom 05.26.13	No, i wont. WTF are they?
ShadowRemains 05.26.13	death/doom smart guy, maybe try listening to stuff before making dumb comments
Geadom 05.26.13	Isnt everyone an ignorant? (but everyone ignores different things) - Einstein. I´ll check them out, no need to be another Elitist faggot, Shadow.
ShadowRemains 05.26.13	"I´ll check them out, no need to be another Elitist faggot, Shadow." "who the f are Sempiternal Deathreign to be rec. on a DM list with so many classics?" there was no backing to this comment whatsoever, but whatever
Geadom 05.27.13	Im always joking dude, in case you havent seen any comments like EVER from me? I use this site to find new (old) great music, not to troll or fuck around (E-rep has never done anything good fot me). But lets drop this, i know youre a cool dude, ill check the band later.
eternium 05.27.13	Immolation
ShadowRemains 05.27.13	yes, please do
