Apologies for the lame name for these posts. Anyway...
Pestilence
Pestilence are a really under appreciated band; 'Spheres' deviated from the death metal norm, and their new one, whatever it's called, was disappointing, but they released a few absolute gems in the early 90s, including 'Consuming Impulse', which in addition to awesome artwork (ants eating a person's face? HELLS YEAH!), had some of the best death metal of the time, and indeed ever. And song titles really don't get much more brutal than 'Dehydrated'. (XD)
Vulvectomy
With 'Post Abortion Slut Fuck', Vulvectomy released my favourite brutal death metal release of 2010, and I felt it unfair not to share its awesomeness with the rest of the world. Taking the Devourment strain of brutal death, with a few more blastbeats, and awesome song titles (see below), Vulvectomy are absolutely INCREDIBLE. Funny name too.
Cradle Of Filth
This may be a surprise to many, but Cradle warrant their inclusion here with some superb death metal in their demo era, much in the vein of 'Soulside Journey'. Despite apparently selling out now, although I do love the black metal of 'The Principal...' and 'Dusk...', their very early material is worth a place in any death metal aficionado's collection.
Gorguts
This band is one of the tech-death 'should've beens'. 'Obscura' was a fantastic album; there isn't much else I can say... just listen to this.
Immolation
Probably the best known band on this list (for their death metal work anyway), Immolation are still a band everyone should know - nearly all of their work has been nigh on flawless, my personal favourite album of theirs being 'Close To A World Below'; however, this is my favourite song: 'No Jesus, No Beast' off 'Failures For Gods'.
