Here's some of the top death metal bands... pick your favorite! I tried to include all different genres of death metal (old school, melodeath, prog, technical, etc.), but I'm sure I forgot a few. Tongue

Let the voting begin! Headbanger

^ More than Atheist?! ShockedLOL

Anyway, my vote has gotta go to Evil Chuck & co. this time around. Most time I would vote for either EoS or Opeth, but I'll make an exception here.

I don't consider Opeth death metal, really, although there are some similarities

Out of this list I've heard 8, and Death is BY FAR my favourite of them.  Chuck Schuldiner was akin to a god

Really? LOL I've actually never heard anybody say that about Opeth... on the other hand, I've heard tons of progheads say that Opeth isn't progressive. Hearing that always makes me laugh. TongueEmbarrassed

Hard one here between Opeth, Edge of Sanity, and Death.
 
But I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon and go with Death. Tongue

You indeed forgot a few. *snicker*

Went for Death. Can't go wrong with the master Chuck.

EDIT: one you could have included to make the poll more eclectic is The Chasm, which doesn't really fall into any set death subgenre. And they kick ass to boot.

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

I only wanted to include the most "popular" death metal bands here. There are a lot of other bands I would've included, but I tried to just limit it to the classics.

Opeth out of that list, though Death and Arch Enemy come pretty close.

I went with Death, but I love Atheist, Cynic, Bolt Thrower, Opeth, Carcass, At The Gates, and Suffocations. I was surprised by Obituary's absence from the list.

I vote for Bolt Thrower. Some of my favorites are not here such as Benediction, Hypocrisy, Monstrosity, and Morgoth.

im going to go with death.
they were one of the first death metal bands i ever heard and, as such, have quite a nostalgic feel for me.
