This Christmas I'm focusing solely on Death and Death alone, and today you're getting albums that belong to subgenreslike Brutal DM, TechDeath, MeloDeath or Progressive DM.
.1: The Children of Bodom Chapter
Since we're rapidly approaching the 1 year anniversary, I figured this should be mostly about about bands I tragically neglected in the past. The clearest of this examples are Finnish masters, Children of Bodom. Definetly my favourite MeloDeath band in the roster, their only competition being Amon Amarth or Insomnium.
1. Children of Bodom - Something Wild
2. Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder
3. Children of Bodom - Follow The Reaper
4. Children of Bodom - Hate Crew Deathroll
5. Children of Bodom - Halo of Blood
6. Children of Bodom - I Worship Chaos
.2: The Obscura Chapter
It was about time to finish these guys' discography, wasn't it?! Obscura definetly destroy most of the competition when it comes to TechDeath. Right now, I can't really think of another group that brings so many amazing things to the table. Even if Akróasis is still my favourite, there's no question when it comes to the greatness of these two albums.
7. Obscura - Retribution
(I like the remastered artwork better)
8. Obscura - Cosmogenesis
.3: The Carcass Chapter
If you ever found yourself wondering where were Carcass's Necroticism and Heartwork, don't worry, they simply weren't here. Until now! Honestly, I have no idea how I managed to avoid listening to these two after I fell in love with Surgical Steel. It's taken me a long time, but here I am. Both are very good, but my heart still belongs to Surgical Steel. Way more catchy.
9. Carcass - Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious
10. Carcass - Heartwork
.4: The Random Chapter
11. At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
Slaughter of the Soul is often said to be the album that gave birth to metalcore, but that doesn't mean it isn't great. Fuck, it's such a classic that most of you must know it already. So stop reading and just download it. Only question is how did I get so far without listening to it...
At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
12. Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Back here, where I'm slowly building up to Opeth's full discography. Ghost Reveries is probably theirs best known album, maybe second only to Blackwater Park. The whole record can be summed up in the first and most beloved song here, Ghost of Perdition: brutal and beautiful at the same time.
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
13. Cryptopsy - None So Vile
The old TechDeath classic, which, again you all know. If I really work m mind, I can find a downside. When I describe Death metal to my non-metal friends, I call the vocals "grohi-groh". Yeah, the vocals are only grohi-groh on this album and it can get old quickly. But, aside from that, killer record.
Cryptopsy - None So Vile
14. Necrovile - Engorging the Devourmental Void
Necrovile is one of my latest prides, but also one of my latest regrets. I love them because they are another band that help put Romania on the map when it comes to top-notch Brutal DM, but I feel ashamed because I haven't given them enough attention until now. Since they are coming to REF next year, any romanian deather owes it to himself to listen to Engorging the Devourmental Void.

15. Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Unquestionable Presence is an experience. Everything on this album is beyond crazy good. Every member's talent is on full display thanks to the way this album sounds. Every song is an A+. I'm lost for words when thinking about this record. The way I felt when I first heard it was similar to listening to Cealta parte, which you may know is, to this day, my favourite Romanian album.
