I love death metal but I only know a few artists... Any recommendations would be great, I don't mind if they're mainstream or obscure.

For reference, here are the death metal bands I've already listened to:

- Cannibal Corpse

- Dying Fetus

- Dethklok

- The Dark Prison Massacre

- Cheerleader Concubine

Personally I always like to start from the beginning. You don´t have to listen to every album ever released, but start with the classics. I can recommend some classic death metal artists which I think are essential listens, but I´ll let others make recommendations on the more modern stuff, because that´s usually not my poison.

US death metal bands:

Death

Autopsy

Obituary

Deicide

Morbid Angel

Cannibal Corpse

Immolation

Incantation

Suffocation

German death metal:

Atrocity (just the first two albums)

Morgoth

Fleshcrawl

Dutch death metal:

Pestilence

Gorefest

Asphyx

UK death metal:

Carcass

Napalm Death

Bolt Thrower

Benediction

Paradise Lost (just the first two albums)

Swedish death metal:

Entombed

Dismember

Unleashed

Grave

Edge of Sanity

There are of course many, many more, but if you give the above lot a listen, you´ll get a good idea of the different scenes of old school death metal. Many other countries have scenes too, but I´m not comletely wrong if I say that the scenes I have incluced above are the most important old school death metal scenes (the German one actually wasn´t that important, but I just like the three bands a lot).
