Morbid Angel, Carcass, Cannibal Corpse, At The Gates, Nile, Cynic,

early Sepultura, Napalm Death (this being grindcore, not really death,but
 
extreme stuff), Death, Avulsed (spanish band singing in english),
 
Deicide (just one albumConfusedEvil Smile), Six Feet Under, Obituary and a couple
 
of compilations.
 
For the black metal stuff, I only own a Cradle of Filth album ("Vempire")
 
and rarely play, though I really enjjoy hearing to it from time to time.
 
Knowing that some members are from Mexico and the south of US,
 
what about Brujería? Does it fit in these "extreme" categories?  
The water rushes over all
cities crash in the mighty wave;
the final man is very small,
plunging in for his final bathe

I'm studying true norwegian black metal lately... Immoratl was a great band, though not too "true"... Imean, they sound like they wanted to impress at times.... On the other hand, Gorgoroth is pure evil...Evil Smile

I f we are talking strictly about death/black

Emperor
Death (last 3-4 allbums)
Arch Enemy (particularly the first album!!! - an absolute gem)
At the Gates (pioneers of NWOSDM - new wave of Swedish death metal, especially their last album)
Dimmu Borgir (newer stuff)
Drank Tranquillity (up to Mind's I)

I can't say I like bands like Burzum, Marduk, Mayhem etc. Pinch
I have tried some 'straight' black metal like Immortal which I enjoyed at times, but overall
I cannot cope with the 'grinding' LOL

oh and don't forget the mighty NILE, excellent band

Still listening to Napalm Death, Carcass, Pestilence or Death. I'm not impressed by the evolution of extreme metal nowadays but I would save pennies for the albums of Genghis Tron, Matriarch or I Wrestled A Bear Once.

I'm not a big fan of death metal but I'm well into black metal and other extreme metal acts.
 
Burzum - Great atmospheric BM. A personal favourite of mine.
Bathory - Classic. Nothing compares to this.
Paysage d'Hiver - This invokes feelings of winter.
Summoning - Fantasy inspired BM. An acquired taste to some. Most of their lyrics are about Tolkien's world of Middle Earth.
Drudkh - Highly recommended. Similar to Burzum.
Darkspace - Similar to Paysage in that it invokes feelings of outer space.
Nyktalgia - Obscure depressive Black Metal band. Very promising.
Nargaroth - Herbstleyd is all you need from this black metal band.
Ahab - Awesome funeral doom band. They are inspired by the book "Moby Dick."
Wormphlegm - Funeral doom. Only released a demo which had one great 32:00 minute epic.
Primordial - Great celtic metal band.

By the way... you should all check out a classic: Satyricon's "Nemesis Divina". One of the best black metal albums ever, with the best riff ever in "Mother north"

^ Thou shalt not post photos of Mikael Akerfeldt in vain.

This thread needs more mentions of Immolation, especially Close to a World Below.

I don't want to sound rude, but this joke isn't funny anymore. Moreover, it's so American-centered that a lot of Europeans mustn't get it: I never heard or read of this caracter until last year.
If you're looking for the origin of death metal growlings, listen to the "Piltdown Man" vocal parts on Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells".
But this reference to Mike Oldfield may not be a silly joke: in "Choosing Death" (by Albert Mudrian, Feral House, 2004), Mike Amott confess "ripping off melodies from The Exorcist and The Omen soundtracks and stuff like that" when he was playing in Carnage in the late eighties.
So, there's at least one death metal band influenced by Mike Oldfield.

One last thing about death metal vocal parts: my father made the theory that the originator of such vocal parts was... Captain Beefheart.
Yes, he was joking.

If you consider him Black Metal, as I do, my favourite is King Diamond.

glad to see Wolves in the Throne Room getting a lot of love around here.
Unexpect
Opeth (preferably the older stuff, like Morningrise and Still Life)
Children of Bodom's earlier works (I like up to Hate Crew Deathroll but Follow the Reaper is their last great one)
Nachtmystium
Strapping Young Lad
 
I also really enjoy John Zorn's work where he combines free jazz with extreme metal

Finally someone said it!Clap

It was probably funny back in the 80s..........maybe. You know, when they first told the joke.

It's 2008, two decades after Death Metal was born and it's an established sub-genre of metal.
And yes Death Metal, the joke is about death metal vocals, NOT BLACK METAL.
The cookie monster joke has not been funny for over 2 decades. Please let it rest.

Even if I am not a fan of Satyricon, this album is one of the most innovative in black metal  I've ever heard... good recommendation Clap

I have to emphasize my admiration for Devourment.  They took an intriguing concept and executed it perfectly.  True pioneers.

this quote sums up how i feel about the band:

"Saying that Devourment suck because of the straightforwardness and low-end technicality is like saying you hate water because it's too wet."
