11.09.18 | I'll start. 1 vote for Sweden! |
naughtcturnal
11.09.18 | As much as I love me some of those american ones (especially morbid angel, autopsy and obituary), my point undoubtedly goes to Sweden. |
Keyblade
11.09.18 | swedish for sure. I would put in classics like The Ending Quest, Nocturnal Silence, Dark Recollections etc to really show off the strength of the swedish scene |
EyesWideShut
11.09.18 | Think this has been done before but my vote goes to..
Merica |
FearThyEvil
11.09.18 | USA by quite a lot for me. Some amazing swedish dm but I prefer the american ones and tbh, I'm not huge on most melodeath |
BerryGarlicia
11.09.18 | there is a lack of seven churches |

11.09.18 | Swedennnnnn |

bbgames
11.09.18 | I’d personally put just the NY scene by itself over the Swedish scene. |
Sevengill
11.09.18 | as a melodeath fan, I gotta go Sweden. |

11.09.18 | Left hand path was incredible |
Casavir
11.09.18 | So basically, if you like riffs, go for US death metal. |
osmark86
11.09.18 | My vote goes to tvättäkta svensk döds ♡ |
G0atC0re
11.09.18 | @Casavir No. |
elliootsmeuth
11.09.18 | Finnish DM is best DM, but if I had to choose between these two, I'd go with American. Couldn't ever jive with the tone or melody of Swedish death metal. |
Dewinged
11.09.18 | Go Sweds |
BlackwaterPork
11.09.18 | Sweden easily |
ramon.
11.09.18 | I feel like Sweden has a much larger selection of classics I love but the few American classics I love I'd wank to with sandpaper so USA for me
Finnish DM is best DM [2] |
Flugmorph
11.09.18 | why not both |
Faenrir
11.09.18 | Death > *
USA for me just for that reason x) |
Demon of the Fall
11.09.18 | US probably has more of my 4.5s (& one 5) so I'll take them, just. It's tough if you're including melo-black though because that evens it up considerably. Sweden probably has a higher 'success rate' for me though, I've just heard more American stuff.
But yeah, Death > |
G0atC0re
11.09.18 | @SwagLord nah, it actually has decent production. |
Sinternet
11.09.18 | sweden obvs |
Demon of the Fall
11.09.18 | it's possible to have black metal with decent production, sure there's melo-death influences in that record as well, but I primarily see that album as BM. |
TheClansman95
11.09.18 | yeah just think to Immortal, they are black metal but the production of their albums since ATTHOW is great. Same goes for Dimmu Borgir, although they're not exactly your typical black metal band. |
G0atC0re
11.09.18 | Not TRVE enough! |
TheClansman95
11.09.18 | honestly they're my favourite black metal bands, even musically-speaking! XD I like even stuff like Mayhem and Darkthrone tho, although the awful production on their albums quite turns me off |
Demon of the Fall
11.09.18 | yeah some of the more progressive leaning BM bands usually have decent production, it's not an absolute |
GUNGFUHAMMERFIST
11.09.18 | United States |
Deathconscious
11.09.18 | Sweden goes hard in the death, but i'd have to take American DM. However, if we were talking America VS Europe in general...thats a tougher one, but i think id have to go with Europe. |
Deathconscious
11.09.18 | And yeah, Storm of the Light's Bane is definitely black metal. |
Demon of the Fall
11.09.18 | someone should do a list of European but 'non-Scandinavian' DM records, I think a lot of people (definitely including myself here) probably don't know many others. Carcass, Bolt Thrower, Pestilence... yeah I'm stuck now. |
G0atC0re
11.09.18 | @Demon of the Fall Bingo. Non-Scandinavian European death metal. Good idea. |
Deathconscious
11.09.18 | Immortalis, Behemoth, Miasma, Moribund, Chemical Breath, Electrocution, Morgoth, Sinister, Messiah, Asphyx, Decomposed, etc. |
Demon of the Fall
11.09.18 | I wasn't including Behemoth as aren't they mainly black or blackened death?... but yeah that's an obvious one. Nice list though Adolf, I'll have to make a note, only heard of Asphyx from the rest. |
Deathconscious
11.09.18 | Behemoth definitely became more death metal leaning for a good chunk of their career, although the black metal influence has always been there.
Oh yeah, and also Sororicide. Cant forget them. |
garas
11.09.18 | Swedish.
And yeah,Carcass is really interesting, and I think it's not more swedish, nor american. The best m/ |
0xME

Austria: Miasma
Switzerland: Moribund, Reactor, Sickening Gore
Czech Republic: Krabathor
Denmark: Autumn Leaves, Phrenelith, Undergang, Hyperdontia (technically also from Turkey)
France: Catacomb, Kronos
GBR: Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Cruciamentum, Desecrator
Germany: Immortalis, Incubator, Jumpin' Jesus, Morgoth, Torchure

Poland: Ghost |
0xME
11.09.18 | I only included what i felt like was straight death, so no Death/Doom like Asphyx etc |
TheSpirit
11.09.18 | America, easily. Sweden had a lot of amazing bands that burned out after 1-2 albums imo. American bands had a bit more longevity at that same level of high quality. |
Demon of the Fall
11.09.18 | Sweet list 0xME, you hear very little about the majority of those on here so it's nice to see them all typed out like that. |
WretchedCacophony
11.09.18 | why the hell is Carcass even on this list. Might as well talk about Cryptopsy... okay they're from Canada! But are they more Swedish or American? Fucking who cares they're not from either. |
DarkSideOfLucca
11.09.18 | I love Sweden and if I was younger I would have gone with them. But now I'm older and wiser. America all the way, baby. 'MURICA NUMBER ONEEEE |
Demon of the Fall
11.09.18 | Cryptopsy are more American because geography exists. Done. |
bloc
11.09.18 | Sweden has def grown on me over the years, but USA for sure. However, I would sub out many of the USA bands on your list with others. |
JasonCarne
11.09.18 | I did something like this a while back: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=736238&listid=153158
My vote goes to USA though. |
G0atC0re
11.10.18 | @WretchedCacophony Because Carcass rules ok. Deal with it |
G0atC0re
11.10.18 | USA wins! |
WoodeeX
11.10.18 | if sput didn't have so many morons, Sweden would've easily taken this. |
Hawks
11.10.18 | “@SwagLord nah, it actually has decent production”
SOTLB is def a black metal album no matter what the production sounds like lmao u can’t be serious. |
Hawks
11.10.18 | Also Woodee you’re a moron yourself for saying that so. |
Source
11.10.18 | Florida death metal > all |
Casavir
11.10.18 | Yeah, SOTLB is black with a lot of trad influence, no less. Putting it here is ridiculous. I'm not even surprised that a lot of people would go US with how comparatively unimpressive much of the Swedish examples come off as comparatively inferior.
I mean, come one, a Bloodbath album? An Amon Amarth album? Literally one of the least death metal Edge of Sanity releases?

AAAAAACTUUUU-AAAAAA-LLLLYYYYYYYYY
I happen to think the selected Bloodbath and Amon Amarth albums are really damn great |
Thalassic
11.16.18 | Both Swedish and American DM need more French polka and country parts |
Demon of the Fall
11.16.18 | I don’t know about anyone else but I didn’t actually base my ‘decision’ on the list itself, so what if you think a couple of the choices suck? |
bloc
11.16.18 | Neither did I, were we supposed to? |
Rowhaus
11.16.18 | USA all the way. Sweden sucks. Maybe if they spent more time writing good riffs and less time hating themselves they'd make decent music. They don't even have the brain capacity to assemble furniture BEFORE they sell it to you. |
Assemblage
11.16.18 | Going USA here, obviously because of 20/21 |
Demon of the Fall
11.16.18 | @bloc: I mean he’s used Cannibal Corpse, Deicide & Obituary over Incantation, that has to be down to overall popularity/album sales etc. There’s no other explanation for why someone would do such a terrible thing. |
bloc
11.16.18 | Or because those 3 bands are all better than Incantation mwahahahahaaaaa |
