My 5 favorite dm bands gotta be:
1. Death
2. Cannibal Corpse
3. Morbid Angel
4. Obituary
5. Cryptopsy
Great video!!!
You put cannibal corpse ahead of obituary? 🤔
@@xxhatchetwarrior13xx Oh lmao that was a year ago. Right now, it would be 1. Death, 2. Obituary, 3. Morbid Angel, 4. Cannibal Corpse and 5. Cryptopsy
Sick what’s your favourite cryptopsy albums appart from the two first
@@nicolasreny221 I like None So Vile, Whisper Supremacy, Blasphemy Made Flesh and None So Live the most!
For me, Bolt thrower riffs and transitions all kind of sound the same and are kind of boring. War master is my favorite album of theirs.
My top 5 death metal bands:
1. Death
2. Bolt Thrower
3. Obituary
4. Nile
5. Suffocation
No Cannibal? Seriously?
@@pauloteri741 yeah lot of death metal fans dont like CC
I’ve never really understood the idea of calling bands like Morbid Angel or Obituary “cookie cutter” bands when they were the ones that basically invented the cookie cutter. I get doing it with new bands, but not with the classics
So... you would say... they are the cookie cutters that cut the cookies of other bands?
0:18 that goes straight out the window in 3:18
Clicked right away!! Im in the middle of a class...😅😅
1. Death
2. Cannibal Corpse
3. Opeth
4. Deicide
5. Carcass
6. Suffocation
7. Bolt Thrower
8. Obituary
9. Possessed
10. Morbid Angel
My favorite death metal album is Scream Bloody Gore, I love everything played on that album, especially the drums. I recently looked up that "guy" and it was Reifert of Autopsy.
I didn't put my time in every single one but I like the sound of almost all of them.
My favorites (as of today):-
1. Immolation (very unique and influential)
2. Suffocation
3. Morbid Angel
4. Incantation
5. Bolt Thrower
6. Autopsy
7. The Chasm
8. Gorguts (The Erosion of Sanity is enough for me to put them inside the top ten)
9. Ulcerate
10. Carcass (early)
You don't like death that much
No Cannibal Corpse? Seriously.
@@tan_the_man-_- I dig Leprosy and Spiritual Healing a lot. Not a big fan of their later stuffs. If I were to make a list of influential death metal bands then Death sits perfectly at the top but musically I feel other bands are more worthy of recognition.
Each to their own, but musically Death sits far above all of these.
@@hectorescobar9450 Each to their own - exactly. No band is better than the other, what may be musical for you may not be the same to everyone. As I implied, I have nothing against Death, I'm fond of their first 3 records.
Dismember’s back catalogue is pretty close to flawless and filled with great riffs, groove, and melody. As long as Dismember lives, death metal lives.
1-Pestilence
2-Morbid Angel
3-Death
4-Obituary
5-Deicide
6-Carcass
I will always hold Cannibal Corpse up as the prototype for all death metal. They were the first death metal band I ever heard, they were the first to be recognized on a "main stream" type of level. Most things you associate with death metal might not have originated with them(some did) but they PERFECTED them. Not to mention when it comes to riffs, they are without a doubt the "grooviest" death metal band of all time. If I could pick only one death metal band to listen to it would be them, and it wouldn't even be a choice, it'd be automatic and the rest wouldn't even be close.
I had to come a long way to finally admit to myself that Cannibal Corpse is truly thee DEFINITION OF DEATH METAL in it's purest form, even more than bands like Death, or Morbid Angel. They are the band that took traditional Death Metal further than anyone else while still staying within their original musical identity. Sure, CC has had albums where they were more experimental than others, but it has always been Death Metal 100%, no exceptions. If some people don't like that, they can go listen to other bands who prefer to branch out of Death Metal. That's not Cannibal Corpse. I have always loved the first 4 CC albums since I was a little kid, but it wasn't until I grew into adulthood that I started to love the George Fisher era even more than the first 4 albums. Every CC album is top shelf Death Metal in my opinion, but the Barnes era is a lot easier to digest because it's more straight forward musically speaking. Once my ear finally fully caught on to what I was hearing musically in the Fisher era CC albums, I started to realize that it's so dynamic, and it is vastly more musically dense than most other traditional Death Metal out there. What I love most about Cannibal Corpse is that they can be pretty technical, and dynamic, but they don't overdo it. They only use technique to serve their music, not to win guitar player awards or anything like that. The way they write their songs just blows my mind. CC's transitions, tempo changes, riffs, dark tremolo picked melodies, harmonized guitar parts, drum patterns, and vocal patterns are unmatched, and no song sounds the same. My favorite thing about Cannibal Corpse is when they go from a blast beat into a slow half time groove like in Mummified in Barbwire where Paul uses his ride cymbal, and the snare drum has more reverb on it than normal. They don't really do breakdowns, but they do have those awesome slow tempo moments that make the hair on my neck stand up. It's like a symphony of heavy, dark, angry horror.

1- Morbid angel, 2-Bolt thrower, 3-Death, 4-Blood incantation, 5-Dying fetus

Isn’t Behemoth black metal?
al’ Diabalos The first 3 albums are. The rest are blackened death metal
Guess he doesn’t know metal 😂. Why immolation isn’t here
Obituary is A
@@synystersanta1017 I don’t know how you make a proper death metal tier list without at least mentioning them
Gorguts and Carcass being in 'B' makes my heart hurt. The Canadian in me wishes Cryptopsy was higher as well, but to be fair, they've had a few stinkers, namely "The Unspoken King", so I'll let it slide...
Haha world would be boring if everyone shared the same favourites anyway. If you ever feel like doing it would be cool to see some of your favourite albums from different genres in future videos 🤘
I feel you. It's obviously subjective, but to me Gorguts are just in a class of their own. The most metal of all metal in a way.
My top 5 favorite death metal bands:
1. Suffocation
2. Death
3. Cryptopsy
4. Morbid Angel
5. Cannibal Corpse
1-ULCERATE (you mentioned as "black" metal lol!!)2-IMMOLATION!!(The best "Old" School death metal band)!!!3-GORGUTS(The Most important and also Most incosistent but All Masterpiece To OBSCURA upwards!!!.4-Cryptopsy(Yeah maybe all over the place!!!but their classics are Untochable)
5-Suffocation\NIle-Both incredible.Effigy of the forgotten,Pierced from within.Their darkened Shrine\annihilation of the wicked!!!all masterpieces!!!
Great list. Not sure I would call Gorguts inconsistent, but it's all perosnal taste. They certainly are the most important to the development of modern weird/avant-garde extreme metal though.
I can't believe Cryptopsy's None So Vile is only from 1996. How??? When I heard it, the production sounded like it was a early 90s dm era
It's from 96.
@@666aiolia I forgot
my personal favourite death metal bands are dying fetus, death, cannibal corpse, and bloodbath (the mikael åkerfeldt era)
awesome I love death metal! the bands you picked are a very good choice, but there are so many more like grave, kataklysm, wombbath, lik, gatecreeper. It's hard to pick one favorite death metal band, but I go with "kataklysm", because they were the reason why I got into this sub genre, after I watched their performance at the bang your head festival in Germany! God Dethroned, Toxocara and Revel in Flesh are also awesome death metal bands
I love the honesty!
I know Cannibal Corpse is very popular and highly regarded, but I just don't like the music. I'd move Suffocation up to the A tier. Also, entombed's death metal catalog is a little bit skimpy. Great band that did some great death metal, but they moved past the genre fairly quickly. I'd probably move Deicide or Gorguts up ahead of them. Can I say how thrilled I am that Autopsy is getting some love from the younger generation? I saw them in 2011 in Oakland, CA. Absolutely amazing! I'd also probably put Morbid Angel above Bolt Thrower in the S tier. To me, Death and Morbid Angel are the two best and most important death metal bands.
Dying fetus cooking in this decade. so putting them on C is some kind of shit u made
my favourites:
-cannibal corpse
-dying fetus
-nile
-cryptopsy
-entomb
-gorguts

Whoa, putting Necrophagist in D to start with....that's bold. You don't get to say you love them after you treat them like that! XD
After watching the whole list, I really don't think they even fit on this list.
happy my favorite bloodbath is here
1.Bolt Thrower
2.Entombed

My favorite Death Metal bands of all time and for all eternity are:
NILE
CANNIBAL CORPSE
BOLT THROWER
DYING FETUS
SUFFOCATION
BOLT FVCKING THROWER!!!!!
One band I’d add is Immolation to high B tier. My S tier is Death, Cannibal Corpse and Nile. Deicide id put to low C. Their earlier stuff just never resonated with me.
Immolation should def be on the list
1.Dismember
2.Hypocrisy
3.Carcass
4.Bolt Thrower
5.Pestilence
6.At The Gates
Morbid fucking Angel
My favorite in the list : Dismember
My favorite in general : Cemetary
Cemetery rips man there killer
@@mrmoon1045 Totally agree
Death
Obituary
Carcass
Cannibal corpse.
Morbid Angel
Those are big 5 Death Metal.
Vader, Exhumed, Asphyx, Grave, Cancer, Vital Remains, Demilich, Master, Morgoth, Hate Eternal, Atheist, Aeon, Immolation, Broken Hope also deserve a spot in my opinion
master is greatness
I'm sorry but EVERY band on this list owes their careers to Death and Cannibal Corpse, without those two there would be no such thing as death metal, and I'll fight you over it.
I like reading everyone else's top 5 DM bands, so here's mine:
1) Entrails
2) Entombed
3) Bloodbath
4) Death
4.5 (this is a very "underground" band, so I don't expect it to be known) The Prophet
5) Deicide
My favorite DM bands are:
A: Death, Cannibal Corpse, Bolt Thrower, Morgoth, Cancer, Carcass, Deicide, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Decapitated, Entombed, Atheist, Nocturnus
Death is my favourite band of all time
haha fun to see you got into obscura and colored sands after this
Death and Vader are my 2 fav death metal bands for sure
My Top 5
1. Obituary
2. Death
3. Cannibal Corpse
4. Grave
5. Skinless
😳
This is why I make my own lol. A lot of them are a mess in terms of what is there vs. what is missing. Favorite on this list? Possibly Carcass but I also really dig Cryptopsy's newer stuff.
Yeah your melodic one was good I might do that one day
Top 5 bands easy
5)carcass
4)morbid angel
3)archspire
2)death
1)cannibal corpse
My list:
1. Death
2. Cannibal Corpse
3. Carcass
4. Morbid Angel
5. Bolt Thrower
6. Hypocrisy
6. Vital Remains
7. Deicide
8. Obituary
9. Vader
10. Nile
11. Cryptopsy
12. Emtombed
13. Dismember
14. Aborted
Wow I totally forgot aborted! Hell yeah! Great mention! Hypocrisy is one of my favorite bands period but majority is melodic death metal but peter is a god nonetheless!
@@SatanBled I also forgot Immolation and Bloodbath is good as well
what does cavernous death mean?
I perfered pre emtombed which was nihilist because it was smash you in the face but the way i like i feel they should have kinda kept the way the music was made through their change to their first album of left hand path as entombed
Agreed with this Death and Bolt Thrower are just superior songwriters compared to the rest
No Vader bro? I love The Ultimate Incantation album...Grave? Sinister? Immolation perhaps?
Hey dude Bolt Thrower's my favorite to, for proof I have it on my profile.
1. Death
2. Morbid angel
3. Suffocation
4. Cannibal corpse
5. Entombed
Possessed released their best album in 2019
Gorguts takes a bit of influence from Ulcerate these days
"D list"
Necrophagist kicked off a wave of more technical bands.
Possessed birthed the genre and mentored Chuck Schuldiner
Immolation,Vader, Origin, Cadaver, Grave,Deeds of Flesh, Defeated Sanity , Cattle D etc
too many bands to tier
Larbi Houmam are you sure it’s not Ulcerate taking influence from Gorguts? Gorguts did come along first after all and has only released one full length since Ulcerate hit the scene, technically Pleiades Dust was a single lol
@@baptizednblood6813 Of course, it comes full Circle. In interviews Lemay mentions them among other (porcupine tree, portal etc) as bands that grabbed his attention with pushing the genre in new directions, during his wood working years. Ulcerate continues to thank Luc & co on their acknowledgements section
Larbi Houmam well that’s a good factoid for me to know! All this time I was categorizing Ulcerated as Gorguts worship, (not that I thought of that as bad, I like ulcerate) it’s good to know they deserve more credit for their innovations. Are you familiar with the band Lightdweller? If you like Ulcerate and Gorguts dissonant stuff you’ll like lightdweller. It’s dissonant and jazzy but also very unique, managing to encapsulate a unique atmosphere and style while sticking closer to blackened death roots. I plan on buying one of his albums next pay day that’s for sure. I recommend them highly and hope you find them favorable if you listen to um. Hails to the underground 🤘🏻
I can't speak about the rest but Immolation definitely deserves a great deal of respect. They've stayed true to Death Metal and have been a model of consistency for over 2 decades.
Alphabetically:
Asphyx
Autopsy
Cannabis Corpse
Obituary
Pungent Stench
My Top 5:
1. Morbid Angel
2. Cannibal Corpse
3. Death
4. Obituary
5. Possessed
It's all subjective but my favorite DM band is probably Immolation.
My top 5
Belphegor
Cattle decapitation
Dying fetus
Decapitated
Grave
My would be same, but Atheist and Dying Fetus in S, Cryptopsy and Dismember in A, Morbid Angel to B
I want to hear a Jungle Rot ranking list!!!
Death, Gorfest, Gorguts, some of the best death metal.
I agree with possessed, I tried really Hard to dig it, but nothing... Somehow
What about Ulcerate?
Never been a huge Nile fan. Like I like the content of their lyrics but idk I feel like it doesn’t match. I saw them live back in 2006 with Hypocrisy, Decapitated, and Soilent Green. Nile was the headline band. They were as dull as piss water. They could have placed a card board stand of them and played their albums and it would have been better. After Decapitated and Hypocrisy performed, like probably 50% of the people left. We left after their 4th song. Hopefully they got better but when we saw them, they were terrible.
Oooo a Dying Fetus ranking would be awesome. While I do have a love hate relationship with them, I can’t deny I’m they are badass and the riffs... one of the most monster riffs in metal period.
Necrophagist in D hurts me so much :'(
S: Death, Cannibal Corpse, Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Autopsy
A: Morbid Angel, Cattle Decapitation, Nile, Suffocation, Entombed
B: Decide, Obituary, Exhumed, Bloodbath, Dismember
C: Possessed, Cryptopsy, Pestilence, Gorguts, Incantation
D: Necrophagist, Dying Fetus
F: Six Feet Under
Yeah six feet under fucking sucks lol. Chris Barnes vocals went to shit around the bleeding era and the guitars are just plain. But god Barnes vocals just suck cock now
I actually agree with a lot of that. I would move Deicide to S and gorguts and pestilence to A. Agree with everything else
@@loganc1158 Actually my tastes have changed dramatically since then, I would probably organize it more like this...
S: Death, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse,
A: Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Autopsy, Incantation
B: Cryptopsy, Gorguts, Dying Fetus, Cattle Decapitation, Suffocation, Decide
C: Nile, Pestilence
D: Necrophagist, Obituary, Possessed
F: Six Feet Under
Nice. Less in line from what mine would like like but I like it. I would say my favorites are Nile, Death, Bolt Thrower, Cannibal Corpse, and my favorite death metal band will probably always be Deicide.
My list is:
1. Carcass
2. Death
3. Bolt Thrower
4. At the Gates
5. Rattenfänger
Good list but brother where is Immolation 🤔
CC should be in S. Hands down.
Missing Kataklysm in all of that list's??
Don't no why??
Great fucking Band!!
💀💀💀💀
1 Bolt Thrower
2 Death
3 Dying Fetus
4 Kataklysm
5 Benediction
Cryptopsy could be one of the greatest death metal bands if they continued making albums with the non so vile quality , but they just went very messy IMO , i dont get any feeling with their albums, the lack of lord worm was noticeable..
Also deicide had a very solid career with only 3 meh albums, i think A rank could be better
No Immolation, No Vile, No Vader, No Unleashed, No Grave and No Gorefest in the Tier List.
If not mentioning this, everything to be agreed with. Great Video!
No Brutally,no sinister,no malevolent creation, no hypocrisy. maybe he forgot.very good ones.
Nile is my favorite Death Metal band. Mainly, because they are from my hometown, and I've had many beers with those dudes. Definitely biased. 🤘
Entombed are my favorite
Swap Carcass and Gorguts with Nile and Obituary and I agree with the rest.
Unpopular opinion : I don't like Obituary's vocals
My favorite death band is probably death itself or maybe Opeth or Gojira if those counts (dont think they do), Exmortus is also good but thats really thrashy
We would have the same favourites if they were on the list
my favorite death metal band is
Cannibal Corpse
favorite death metal album is
the bleeding
Death. Obituary. Canniball Corpse. I like those 3. More of a trash metal guy. But love these 3. Blackmetal is a bit gay.
Nile hands down.
Pretty good , way better than metaltrenches shitty list .
Immolation is a bad that needed to be here . Also kinda had an issue with u downranking suffocation for technicality but not Nile . Also recommend u listen to Dismember other albums, the next 2 are possibly even better than an everflowing stream
My S would be :
Immolation, Cannibal Corpse, Dying fetus, Suffocation
A: autopsy , Dismember , bolt thrower , morbid angel, decapitated
we have the same taste holy shit
1. Death
2. Cannibal Corpse
3. Immolation
4. Deserted Fear
Cannibal Corpse never put out something bad. They know what they're doing and they're doing it good. I personally would've put cannibal corpse in S
I don't get people's hard on for Bolt Thrower. I really want to understand, but they just don't do it for me.
My favorite band is Exhumed WHICH I AM MAD THAT EXHUMED WASNT ON THE TIER LIST and my favorite album is Gore Metal
Bro, it's goregrind
@@Bavarian_Barbarian not only goregrind, also brutal death metal
How is immolation not on the list ???
How’s suffocation not on this fucking list
Exactly, I find it difficult to take a death metal list seriously without Immolation especially when Melodic Death Metal bands find places on them.
Immolation??? Why people always forgets about Immolation
