Possessed

Yes, the fist ever death metal band EVER! Possessed is a good band to listen to if you want to get really underground with it. There's not really alot of important information about them, but this was the very first band that growled. Check these guys out. A good album would be Seven Churches.

Behemoth

FVKKEN METAL! When you think of brutal death metal you should think of Behemoth. NO! you should just think of Nergal, himself. Behemoth is a brutal death metal band from Poland. But don't think that this band is nothing but noise. These guys are actually pretty melodic. It kinda sucks though, that they're banned from playing in they're home country. ):<. This makes me pissed. Let's start an insurrection! Oh, sorry got a little off topic. Anyway if you want to check out a band that will never in all the time exitance exists will become mallcore, then check out behemoth. A good album is Demigod or The Apostasy.

Cannibal Corpse

HAMMER SMASHED FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, Cannibal Corpse is a brutal death metal band from Buffalo, New York. They're song topics about blood, gore, death, decapitation, torcher, cannibalism,evicseration, and necrophylia are just too cool to not be called brutal. Corpsegrinder is a charecter I'd say. Don't you agree. This was one of the first bands that actually got me into death metal. So if you want to start listening to death metal, this would be a great band to start out with. A good album would be The Wretched Spawn.

Cattle Decapitation

Brutal! Cattle Decapitation is a melodic grindcore band from San Diego formed in 1996. But after listening to this band you might want to put that Big Mac down. Yeah, these guys might be vegans but they get so defensive about it that they say if you eat meat theyre gonna basically kill you :). But this band would be bipolar in my opinion. One minute they have mathcore riffs and the next they sound wikkid epic. A good album to start with would be Karma Bloody Karma.
