My list would probably be: 10. Gorefest 9. Broken Hope 8. Asphyx 7. Cancer 6. Deceased 5. Cannibal Corpse 4. Possessed 3. Necrophagia 2. Autopsy 1. Death
Was für eine geile Zeit das war als das ganze Zeug nach und nach auf Vinyl erschien und man immer härtere Sounds erhoffte zu erhaschen !! : ))Sream Bloody Gore !!
Excellent list but you could have added any number of bands/albums. Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Carcass, and on and on. Too many great bands to list only 10.
that's obvious.... I agree should be placed first and forefront. sepultura should be second though with their old school shit... I'm talking schizophrenia album and so forth ..
James Parks Meh. He was a musical genius, and they tend to take control of things. However, Death is much more than Chuck Schuldiner. There have been musicians in that band that were equally respected, like Sean Reinhart, Gene Hoglan, and Steve Digorgio just to name a few.
I'm not sure if this would be considered "Death Metal" but the first two Sepultura albums were cool. Arise sort of borderlined death metal but after that, starting with Chaos A.D. they were basically a thrash band.
This is a great list. I dont know why everybody has a problem with this. Death sure deserves to be number 1. Autopsy... Chris Reifert and Chuck Schuldiner recorded the first ever Death Metal album together, "Scream Bloody Gore"... if Chuck is the godfather of Death Metal, then Chris was kind of what made the initial Death Metal complete, from all the contributions of Chuck (I'd say Death Metal is 70% Chuck, 20% Possessed, and 10% Chris). So, Autopsy in my opinion would deserve rank 2 or 3, depending if you want Possessed in this list or not. Personally I dont, but many do... so, whatever. Obituary, Entombed, Morbid Angel and Deicide had to be in this list. Their order can be changed randomly, doesnt matter, only thing that matters is that they are in here. Malevolent Creation is a great Death Metal band, but I dont think rank 2 is good for it... rank 8 or something would suit it better. But hey, the list in general is just great. Only one band I really miss in this list is Dismember. But hey, not every band can be in the top 10, eh? \m/ RIP Chuck
Check them out, Repulsion - Helga lost her head, not sure when their first album came out. I had the sepultura and death album, I am going to have to check out seven churches.
There are so many good pioneers of Death Metal out there... it's hard to pick out my top 10. But I think if I had to replace one from your list, I would take off Deicide and replace them with either Pugent Stench or Carcass. Great list!
I would consider Possessed to be Thrash, but they were an inspiration for the sub genre. I consider Death's,"Scream Bloody Gore," to be the first true Death Metal recording.
@gombagod 'Close...' is good, eh? Kinda lost touch with them after 'Here In After', but I've been curious to see what their later albums were like, I'll have to keep an eye out for it...
My first Album in this genre was 'Leprosy' from Death and I'll always remember it as one Masterpiece and outstanding. I'd also ad Hypocrisy, Carcass and Unleashed to the list, which I remember as Giants of Death Metal!
brutal fucking list nothing beats Dismember thou "Like an everflowing stream" is the best death metal album ever!! atleast my favorite album!! sorry for bad english cheers from sweden! :)
Great list! Even if you're not a fan of some of the bands (Personally, I despise Deicide) you can't deny the impact they had on the genre. Man, I remember when 'Slowly We Rot' first came out, crazy!! Never was a fan of Autopsy either, but Jayzus, what an evil sound they had...That's the problem with most modern death metal; no indentity. They can all fucking shred, but they all sound the same. I miss the good old days....
@deathbox75 I lost touch with them too.Haven't listened to any of their shit since "harnessing ruin" back in 05.but yea, "close" is an extremly badass album.One of their seminal works along with Dawn of possession and here and after.Close to a world below came out in 2000, which is well before I even knew about them.If I had listened to it when it first came out I wouldve shit my pants.Its got a fairly slow almost death/doom sound to it which is probably why I really took to it.
Entombed is on there brother, #6!!! I love C.C. as much as any other d.m fan but I honestly like all the other bands he listed more! I'm agreeing with you on Vader and Benediction though... FUCK, why are "top" lists automatically "top ten" lists! arrrggghh lol should be top 20, 10 is never enough.
@gombagod Absofuckinglutely!! 'Unquestionable Presence' has to be one of the BEST death metal (if you wanna call it that) releases of all time. Also liked the nod to Immolation - Their first album was a monster...
I started listening to death metal when I was 12 back in OKC. The greats were the bands that didn't sale out. Doesn't mater what his picks are they all kicked ass when we were kids. Carry the Torch friend.
Hello guys... May you please help me... When I was young, I was a huge fan of a metal song... I thought the title was "Point dead" (I was a 6 years old french boy and I just did not understand a word of the song) but I don't find it in the internet... I just remember that the lyrics were very simple, a list of american cities, some kind of "Detroit DEAD... New York DEAD... Chicago DEAD... POINT DEAD"... :-/ I was really young.... If someone can help me it would be amazing ! BTW, nice video !!
I find it exiting, yes possessed was the very first death metal band. death metal was named after their first demo 'death metal', and this very song changed metal
yeah he should of made a top 20 cuz theres too many good old school death metal bands out there but hes got a few of my favorites on here deicide obituary autopsy malevolent creation entomber ok there was 5 lol all great!!!
;) Well On Old School Death Metal,Death/Doom,Blackend Death metal,GOOD Melodic Death Metal and Progressive Death Metal you will see me very often,but not on Slam Death Metal vids. and just a very very few times on some Brutal and Deathgrind stuff.
Yeah the only thing I'm gonna complain about is Suffocation not being on here. Glad you put Death at 1 tho. Also if this wasn't just old school...... early Decapitated. Early Decapitated is AMAZING.
You can clearly hear the step up in class from Gorguts (pretty good) to Obituary (the real deal). Great choices, anyway (didn't think anyone remembered Cancer). Didn't personally care for Deicide - always suspected that people were lulled in by how mental Glen Benton was - but their place here is absolutely justified. And of course, Death at no.1. That's made me want to dig my Scream Bloody Gore album out now! :-)
maybe vocal wise, i have never heard them but the order of the first 3 death metal albums are: possessed - seven churches (1985), sepultura - morbid visions (1986) and death - scream bloody gore (1987). most death fans would probably disagree with this...
not a huge fan of Morbid Angel. I actually got confused while listening to pandora, and wondered "Why don't i like this song?" listening to Morbid Angel, when i was thinking about Malevolent Creation.
Hmmm alright list mine would be something like this 10. Insanity- Death After Death 9. Massacre- From Beyond 8. Autopsy- Mental Funeral 7. Nuclear Death- Bride of Insects 6. Funeral Nation- After The Battle 5. Incantation- Onward to Golgotha 4. Deceased...- Luck of the Corpse 3. Possessed- Seven Churches 2. Necrophagia- Season Of The Dead 1. Master-
+Sajid Sohan this is my list not yours and Death IMO only released 3 good albums in their career but Mantas and the demos is where it's at besides that coming back to this post I can come to conclusion that I missed quite a few good Death Metal like Sadistik Exekution, Necrovore, Krabathor, Death Strike, Abomination, Voor, and Slaughter(Canada) and so on.
+Corpse Desecrator. yeaj probably you've included some of the good OSDM band but not only me,most of the people would disagree with you about death.You arr saying they released only 3 good albums but the true fact is that all their 7 albums are masterpieces.Though they began to change their musical styles at a time but that change didn't go in vain.The result is we got some death classics.When you are saying death is IMO(!) then you are making the biggest mistake and ypu are so wrong dear! ;-)
Well it's a matter of opinion as I'm not drawn into Death's post Spiritual Healing era and onwards people can either agree or disagree with either of our opinions a good number of bands only cite Death's first 2 records as influences such as Gravehill, Incantation and Hellwitch etc and nothing more but then there are bands that cite Death's whole discography as an influence particularly Prog Tech Death bands lots of Neo Classical stuff witch doesn't float my boat but for people who are into that well that's them. Anyways fun debate with you my good friend SBG is a great record my friend's band did a cover of Zombie Ritual!!!
+Corpse Desecrator Actually the opinions vary,and nothing to do with that anyway! Everybody has his/her own choice but none can deny death's greatness.Anyway good talking with you and here in our country,21 musicians from our metal industry are giving a tribute to death covering 17 songs of death from 7 albums on this january 8!
If you allow me, I just want to say that I agree with almost all you said. I know the newer stuff of Cannibal Corpse with George Fisher is really amazing and with that, they got off that "sameness" they were with Barnes. But for my ears, most of the recent songs are kinda boring to listen, I don't know why. The last album that really made me bang my head so hard was Kill. Even though, I enjoy very much the albums Vile, Gallery of Suicide and Live Cannibalism.
The band named Possessed was created at the same time the band Death was. Just because it took the release of Possessed's first album to label it death metal doesn't change the style of music. That style had been around since both Possessed and Death were formed and playing in clubs (even if they were called thrash at one point). It's not like a band becomes what they are labeled as after the album comes out. The music they played before and after the album's release was the same.
I wouldn't necessarily say so. Their parent band, Possessed was another major influence on the sound. Either way, without those two bands there were still in existence many thrash bands that evoked an image of gore/death (the common outfit/scramble for so many of death metal's fans). Either way, there would have been someone to credit. It's not as if it wouldn't have came along sooner or later (I think many would be surprised of how soon the resurgence might come, if there was no Death).
My top 10 bands are DEATH Cannibal Corpse Deicide Morbid Angel Obituary Atheist Autopsy Immolation Suffocation Massacre. Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Dismember, Entombed, Gorguts, Grave, Malevolent Creation, Napalm Death, Pestilence, Unleashed will make top 20 ;)
this list is good and all, but I don't consider Deicide to be Old School Death Metal, though I like their music though. And yeah, I am missing Possessed here, but that's your list, not mine :)
Increible, le llaman ahora la vieja escuela del death metal, cuando yo vivi y goce esa musica hasta mas no poder y aun la oigo y la gozo, ESTOY VIEJOOOOOOO, JAJAJAJA
Only two I could argue with there, from a personal perspective, are Entombed and Deicide. That's because I never rated them myself I'd put Pestilence ahead of them. Consuming Impulse is immense and Martin Van Drunen's vocals are simply epic. I'd also add Suffocation to that list as Effigy of the Forgotten is incredible.
@Kristallscherbe ehm, what are you talking about? xD their first album was released in 1991. Death metal didn't appear in the 30s along with blues you know. But anyway it was his choice not to include them.
My Top 5 death metal bands will always be: 1. Morbid Angel (at least the original Vincent stuff and some of Tucker's era like Gateways) 2. Immolation 3. Death 4. Obituary 5. Vader
1 - DEATH
2 - Obituary
3 - Pestilence
4 - Benediction
5 - Malevolent Creation
6 - Entombed
7 - Gorefest
8 - Cancer
9 - Massacre
10 - Gorguts / Nocturnus / Morgoth
+VEGETARIAN mainstream deaths
+Mark Collins you listen to Arch Enemy and complain about mainstream....
Benediction, Gorefest, and Morgoth arent mainstream
zomg guys xddddd too mainstream xddddddd
EXTREME VEGAN missing Autopsy
To me the big 4 of death metal are:
Cannibal Corpse
Obituary
Death
Morbid Angel
Magic Steve I agree but to me Obituary first place 😈💀🤘
@Харьков HoReCa They didn't create Death Metal.
My list would probably be:
10. Gorefest
9. Broken Hope
8. Asphyx
7. Cancer
6. Deceased
5. Cannibal Corpse
4. Possessed
3. Necrophagia
2. Autopsy
1. Death
1) Death
2) Asphyx
3) Malevolent Creation
4) Nocturnus
5) Obituary
6) Morbid Angel
7) Cannibal Corpse
8) Pestilence
9) Entombed
10) Autopsy
The 8 dislikes are the members of Vader and Benediction (or possibly Bolt Thrower and Pungent Stench), depending on how you count the band members!
Was für eine geile Zeit das war als das ganze Zeug nach und nach auf Vinyl erschien und man immer härtere Sounds erhoffte zu erhaschen !! : ))Sream Bloody Gore !!
Excellent list but you could have added any number of bands/albums. Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Carcass, and on and on. Too many great bands to list only 10.
Did I influence this? Lol
Robb Kelley After your post I started watching Entombed videos which lead me here.
Chris Williams Napalm Death is Grindcore, not Death Metal...
stop fucking saying suffocation, suffocation is brutal death metal
***** So is Immolation.
BOLT THROWER
great band but terrible live though
Ethan Kraus cant say i agree with you, but i havnt seen that much of em live
Great choices. Still, one can't have osdm top10 without Bolt Thrower in there. \m/

Thats very good list man, sure, some bands are missing but for top 10list is completed.
Malevolent creation
Finally someone with actual taste. Anyone with common sense would know to place Death at #1.
In terms of influence on the genre, for sure. Still though, musically speaking, I don't know if they're a clear cut #1 spot.
that's obvious.... I agree should be placed first and forefront. sepultura should be second though with their old school shit... I'm talking schizophrenia album and so forth ..
it's one man that created that band... through and through ... people tagged along but it was chuck the whole time ...
James Parks Meh. He was a musical genius, and they tend to take control of things. However, Death is much more than Chuck Schuldiner. There have been musicians in that band that were equally respected, like Sean Reinhart, Gene Hoglan, and Steve Digorgio just to name a few.
The Hound what about James Murphy bud if you didn't know he played for obituary death cancer testament and I'm pretty sure there's one more
I'm not sure if this would be considered "Death Metal" but the first two Sepultura albums were cool. Arise sort of borderlined death metal but after that, starting with Chaos A.D. they were basically a thrash band.
My most listened to album of all time in the 90's was Obituarys Slowly We Rot so nice to see it in the list.
Can't disagree, this list is utter perfection
Jack Brown hi again wow
This is a great list. I dont know why everybody has a problem with this. Death sure deserves to be number 1. Autopsy... Chris Reifert and Chuck Schuldiner recorded the first ever Death Metal album together, "Scream Bloody Gore"... if Chuck is the godfather of Death Metal, then Chris was kind of what made the initial Death Metal complete, from all the contributions of Chuck (I'd say Death Metal is 70% Chuck, 20% Possessed, and 10% Chris).

Great list!
i have the severed survival album by autopsy and really recommend it because it's classic death metal at it's best!!!
I would consider Possessed to be Thrash, but they were an inspiration for the sub genre. I consider Death's,"Scream Bloody Gore," to be the first true Death Metal recording.
Great list man. Love all the bands.
Possessed and Cannibal Corpse should be on this list too.
I love Carcass, Napalm Death, Terrorizer, Suffocation and Sinister, but they are Grind / Death or Brutal Death Metal.
@gombagod 'Close...' is good, eh? Kinda lost touch with them after 'Here In After', but I've been curious to see what their later albums were like, I'll have to keep an eye out for it...
by far the best list I've seen good job
thats a nice video, im going to tattoo 1 part of the death logo, there is more bands u can add but its still a great recopilation
My first Album in this genre was 'Leprosy' from Death and I'll always remember it as one Masterpiece and outstanding. I'd also ad Hypocrisy, Carcass and Unleashed to the list, which I remember as Giants of Death Metal!
brutal fucking list nothing beats Dismember thou "Like an everflowing stream" is the best death metal album ever!! atleast my favorite album!! sorry for bad english cheers from sweden! :)
The best list I have seen on youtube. Thanks you for Uploading this.
Solid compilation dude, I would of made room for Pestilence though personally.
Great list! Even if you're not a fan of some of the bands (Personally, I despise Deicide) you can't deny the impact they had on the genre. Man, I remember when 'Slowly We Rot' first came out, crazy!! Never was a fan of Autopsy either, but Jayzus, what an evil sound they had...That's the problem with most modern death metal; no indentity. They can all fucking shred, but they all sound the same. I miss the good old days....
I looked seven churches up and it did remind me of morbid visions...glad you liked repulsion...love finding and sharing new(old) metal...
excelent choices, i don't know if i would have kept the same order, but these bands are a must for death metal.
@superchef78 Yeah, And Also, Obituary Was around the same area as Death, and formed only a year late i believe?
very nice compilation. brings me back to my youth. thank u so much
I approve of Autopsy. And thanks for recognizing Gorguts and Immolation.
@deathbox75 I lost touch with them too.Haven't listened to any of their shit since "harnessing ruin" back in 05.but yea, "close" is an extremly badass album.One of their seminal works along with Dawn of possession and here and after.Close to a world below came out in 2000, which is well before I even knew about them.If I had listened to it when it first came out I wouldve shit my pants.Its got a fairly slow almost death/doom sound to it which is probably why I really took to it.
You seem to be on every death metal video, dude. Keep it metal. \m/ \m/
Loved your selection, pal. Death (the band) is truly epic
Needs more swedish bands like Dismember, Grave, Unleashed but otherwise good video, good band choice. 10/10
DAM RIGHT WITH THEIR FLESH HE'LL CREATE! im about to drum cover that song tomarrow
Provide a link in support of that assertion for affirmation, please.
Entombed is on there brother, #6!!! I love C.C. as much as any other d.m fan but I honestly like all the other bands he listed more! I'm agreeing with you on Vader and Benediction though... FUCK, why are "top" lists automatically "top ten" lists! arrrggghh lol should be top 20, 10 is never enough.
@gombagod Absofuckinglutely!! 'Unquestionable Presence' has to be one of the BEST death metal (if you wanna call it that) releases of all time. Also liked the nod to Immolation - Their first album was a monster...
good list, i always have a tough time deciding ten commandants or retribution, both kill
Hey folks. This HIS/HERS top 10 old school death metal bands; not ours! Great list, by the way. I have all those records, except for Gorguts.
Good job , in the next top: Morgoth,Incantation,Unleashed,Bolt Thrower....\mm/
amazing top man, congratulations
dude you forgot gutted(US) and solstice too but also a lot of good bands!
@KyUuTiP Ha ha, well said!! Cancer was a nice touch, you don't hear much about these guys when you read about classic DM....
I met the Cancer guys a few months ago in Scruffy Murphy's pub in Birmingham. Such great guys, as an 18 yr old i felt starstruck at first
What about Pestilence and Massacre? Great to see Cancer on that list though!
Pretty good list. I like that autopsy made the top three. I also would have included, Athiest and Nocturnus.
I started listening to death metal when I was 12 back in OKC. The greats were the bands that didn't sale out. Doesn't mater what his picks are they all kicked ass when we were kids. Carry the Torch friend.
Excelent Compilation, Finally one good
Hello guys... May you please help me... When I was young, I was a huge fan of a metal song... I thought the title was "Point dead" (I was a 6 years old french boy and I just did not understand a word of the song) but I don't find it in the internet...
I just remember that the lyrics were very simple, a list of american cities, some kind of "Detroit DEAD... New York DEAD... Chicago DEAD... POINT DEAD"... :-/ I was really young.... If someone can help me it would be amazing ! BTW, nice video !!
aaah one question,how is it possiple that cancer and gorguts taking the places of messhuggah and asphyx.just asking!
I find it exiting, yes possessed was the very first death metal band. death metal was named after their first demo 'death metal', and this very song changed metal
Entombed, Deicide, Gorguts..my favorites
yeah he should of made a top 20 cuz theres too many good old school death metal bands out there but hes got a few of my favorites on here deicide obituary autopsy malevolent creation entomber ok there was 5 lol all great!!!
Nice selection!!!
;) Well On Old School Death Metal,Death/Doom,Blackend Death metal,GOOD Melodic Death Metal and Progressive Death Metal you will see me very often,but not on Slam Death Metal vids. and just a very very few times on some Brutal and Deathgrind stuff.
Yeah the only thing I'm gonna complain about is Suffocation not being on here. Glad you put Death at 1 tho. Also if this wasn't just old school...... early Decapitated. Early Decapitated is AMAZING.

That's made me want to dig my Scream Bloody Gore album out now! :-)
Solid list man. Most people forget Gorguts.
pure metal ,we rear the musik very clean,inside the ear.quebra tudo.
maybe vocal wise, i have never heard them but the order of the first 3 death metal albums are: possessed - seven churches (1985), sepultura - morbid visions (1986) and death - scream bloody gore (1987). most death fans would probably disagree with this...
Solid list mine would be
1. Morbid Angel
2. Death
3. Deeds of the Flesh
4. Immolation
5. Bolt Thrower
6. Pestilence
7. Malevolent Creation
8. Grave
9. Gorguts
10. Deicide
not a huge fan of Morbid Angel. I actually got confused while listening to pandora, and wondered "Why don't i like this song?" listening to Morbid Angel, when i was thinking about Malevolent Creation.
@DeathvoidX9 I didn't realize that they fell under that category, but i'll take your word for it. I agree though, they are f*cking sweet.
Great video!
Hmmm alright list mine would be something like this
10. Insanity- Death After Death
9. Massacre- From Beyond
8. Autopsy- Mental Funeral
7. Nuclear Death- Bride of Insects
6. Funeral Nation- After The Battle
5. Incantation- Onward to Golgotha
4. Deceased...- Luck of the Corpse
3. Possessed- Seven Churches
2. Necrophagia- Season Of The Dead
1. Master-
someone without including DEATH in the top 10! (-_-)
+Sajid Sohan this is my list not yours and Death IMO only released 3 good albums in their career but Mantas and the demos is where it's at besides that coming back to this post I can come to conclusion that I missed quite a few good Death Metal like Sadistik Exekution, Necrovore, Krabathor, Death Strike, Abomination, Voor, and Slaughter(Canada) and so on.

Carcass blows away any band on this list except maybe Death and Morbid Angel
@TrafficRiot911 No Deicide?
Dude :D dont know if its your style but Edge of Sanety is after my openion one of the best Death metal bands (;
Awesome list!
I wouldn't necessarily say so. Their parent band, Possessed was another major influence on the sound. Either way, without those two bands there were still in existence many thrash bands that evoked an image of gore/death (the common outfit/scramble for so many of death metal's fans).

It's not as if it wouldn't have came along sooner or later (I think many would be surprised of how soon the resurgence might come, if there was no Death).
My top 10 bands are
DEATH
Cannibal Corpse
Deicide
Morbid Angel
Obituary
Atheist
Autopsy
Immolation
Suffocation
Massacre.
Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Dismember, Entombed, Gorguts, Grave, Malevolent Creation, Napalm Death, Pestilence, Unleashed will make top 20 ;)
is the first time I listen to Cancer and Entombed, I liked the bands :) and yeah, Death is my all time favorite death metal band
nice vid :) , i know that's your choice but i miss Possessed in this list :(
stay true \m/
this list is good and all, but I don't consider Deicide to be Old School Death Metal, though I like their music though. And yeah, I am missing Possessed here, but that's your list, not mine :)
Increible, le llaman ahora la vieja escuela del death metal, cuando yo vivi y goce esa musica hasta mas no poder y aun la oigo y la gozo, ESTOY VIEJOOOOOOO, JAJAJAJA
Si tienes mas de 50 años .somos metaleros vieja guardia.
I love your list. I agree 100% with it.
@viperfish219 That's Death metal for ya, can't understand a bloody word they say, but it sounds good lol
good audio/video!!
cool, old school!!
Only two I could argue with there, from a personal perspective, are Entombed and Deicide. That's because I never rated them myself I'd put Pestilence ahead of them. Consuming Impulse is immense and Martin Van Drunen's vocals are simply epic. I'd also add Suffocation to that list as Effigy of the Forgotten is incredible.
Great Compilation!But i think the best old school death metal band is MASTER
One source (wikipedia) says '85. Another says '88 (metal-Archives). I don't know which one is more correct.
Early Gorguts is super underrated...Love that shit, and love all these bands.
Pestilence or DeathCult would have been nice to see, as well as Carcass...but not a bad list if I do say so myself...
Totally agree, these are the best old school bands!
Couldn't narrow down to ten so I did five.
5. Ghoul
4. Cancer
3. Entombed
2. Pestilence
1. Autopsy
@Kristallscherbe ehm, what are you talking about? xD their first album was released in 1991. Death metal didn't appear in the 30s along with blues you know. But anyway it was his choice not to include them.
good list but wheres opprobrium(incubus) they were around since 1988, but they were also considered thrash also
No classic Carcass?
My Top 5 death metal bands will always be:
1. Morbid Angel (at least the original Vincent stuff and some of Tucker's era like Gateways)
2. Immolation
3. Death
4. Obituary
5. Vader
