I only like a few death metal bands, but the ones I do I LOVE. including:

- Arch Enemy
- Amon Amarth
- A little bit of Death
- Slayer (I'm iffy about slayer. The lyrics are clearly deat metal, but the sound is more thrash in my opinion).

Branching out a bit, I like the black metal bands Dimmu Borgir and 2 Cradle Of Filth albums (nymphetamine and damnation and a day). Plus I love Dark Tranquillity who are often referred to as "melodic death metal", but I think that's a bullshit term, just "gothenberg" works fine. Simply having the vocals doesn't make something death metal.
