Nocturnus released their debut in 1990 and while most death metal bands of that era peered down into the bowels of hell for inspiration, Nocturnus looked to the skies and conjured a sci-fi masterpiece of progressive death metal which possibly gleamed with space-age shine and technical efficiency.

Not only were Nocturnus a rarity in having a drummer as a vocalist they also pioneered the use of keyboards in death metal, a brave move but one that immeasurably adds to the otherworldly atmosphere and originality of this unique death metal release.
One of the most brutal releases from the first wave of death metal, these Finnish nightmare-makers harnessed the dirty downtuned guitar tone made famous by Entombed, Dismember etc, added ultra guttural vocals courtesy of Rami Jämsä and unleashed an eerie, sonically vicious cult classic in the grotesque shape of World Without God!
Suffocation have long been revered as brutal tech death Kings and Pierced From Within is their definitive work. Very much in the same open vein as their classic debut Effigy Of The Forgotten and sophomore effort Breeding The Spawn, the band upped the ante yet again, on this, their most intricate and accomplished collection of crushing compositions.
Here was a band that took the core of death metal, the blast-beats, the growls, the requisite speed and ferocity and not only reproduced it better than everyone else but also introduced influences rarely heard in the genre .

"It's a thrashing, death metal ripper that's got a little something for everyone, whether you're the first one to activate a circle pit at a show or if you just like to bang your fucking head. The music video was filmed by our good friends Dave Brodsky and Allison Woest, and they've once again outdone themselves on this one! Special thanks to the Sk8 Liborius crew for letting us rage in their space for a couple days," he adds.
Regarding what else fans can expect from the nine-song platter that delves deep through the nine rings of Hell before confronting the Devil himself, the frontman offers, "We're definitely in more of a death metal mindset than on earlier albums in our catalog," asserts Davidson. "We're focusing on how we can write the best death metal-centric album that we possibly can while still pushing our boundaries. The new songs on 'Netherheaven' are evil and sinister but also have a progressive element to them to keep things interesting. It's got our stamp on it, no question."
This list is going to touch on every aspect of the genre, sometimes getting so melodic I had to question if they were death metal and then give the album another listen to ease my doubts. There was not one sub-genre or genre that dominated this year. Though I tend to lean more toward the doomier and more blackened side, we still have more traditional, tech, and experimental death metal bands making good showings. So here are my top ten death metal albums, ranked according to which ones got the most rotation on my iPod.
It is pretty melodic in the post-Spiritual Healing or Heartwork way. As this one progresses it becomes impressively melodic, and not in the cheesy Dark Tranquillity way. It can be hard to take a more conventional approach to death metal and make it interesting, and these guys made it more than listenable, topped out with outstanding shred guitar.
Despite having a slight black metal torment to the mid-range throat-scraping of the vocals, these guys play death metal that attacks like a very keen machine. The compact songs run around four minutes, getting in and getting the job done without losing you in the sprawl.

We all know that everything which Dan Seagrave did is gold. He is the one responsible for one of the most emblematic covers of the most important death metal albums ever. From all of them I decided to pick up this coverart. It is probably less familiar to the audience, as Resurrection (Roadkill later) never get as big as the other bands for which the big artist created. Still this artwork does amazing for me. It is so utopian, so unknown, so fantastic, so terrifying. Oh, yes, do check the album as well. The band along with Scott Burns did hell of a job!
Given that the 1980s saw more seismic changes in this hallowed genre than any other decade - the emergence of the death, thrash, speed, black and hair flavours of metal as well as the explosion of grindcore; not mentioning the continuing dominance of NWOBHM and doom, this list is bound to upset some people.
Along with Slayer mag, Morbid, Orcustus, Butcher and Sadistic Noise magazines it supported the local scene to grow and strengthen as it was widely covered many punk, early thrash/death and later black metal bands from all over the world in their first early steps in the purest way.
As founding member and lead guitarist for Mantas and then Death alongside Chuck Schuldiner and Kam Lee, Rick set down the template for what would shortly thereafter become an entire genre.
