I'm still getting music from the bands suggested here. But here are the albums I've gotten so far, and I must say, that I love them all.

Bathory - Bathory
Emperor - Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
!T.O.O.H.! - Rad a Trest
Ulcerate - Everything is Fire
Ulcerate - Of Fracture and Failure

Thanks to Nixxin, MetalheadNorm and Guitarroker for helping me build on my music collection.

Next up for me to get for bands are:
Dissection, Morbid Angel, Atheist, Vader, Windir and Obscura. After that I'm gonna finish off the list of bands you put Nixxin and then get all the albums that Guitarroker put for Tech Death.

Thanks again guys, you've been great help,

So has anyone heard the new Black Dahlia Murder album Deflorate? I haven't listened to it yet, but I want to know if it's as good as Miasma or their other previous stuff before I preorder it.

Ulcerate - Everything is Fire

Just gave this album a listen. Incredible! I honestly don't know where to begin talking about this... Well, I'm pretty sure the most common complaint pertaining to technical death metal nowadays is the lack of emotion in the music. The music feels as though the musicians are just, for the lack of a better word, "wanking" their instruments. You need something more, right? Well here is what you've been looking for... a technical death metal band with an atmosphere. Ulcerate have been making a name for themselves in the death metal scene, ever since the release of their debut Of Fracture and Failure which is a masterpiece in my opinion. Almost post-death metal with a very technical touch to it. I love it! Everything is Fire is definitely not any worse, but Of Fracture and Failure was a little more memorable in my opinion. There's not a lot of variety, which is good, because the sound Ulcerate have achieved is a truly unique one.

This album starts out with Drown Within, a track that perfectly sets the tone for a very otherworldly musical experience, and quite a disgusting album at that. Ulcerate emphasize dissonance and atmosphere with their music, but don't get me wrong, the album doesn't sound bad at all. It sounds dissonant at times, but quite stable at other times. This album is absolutely relentless. Some of the most intense technical death metal I've ever heard without being completely ridiculous wank, while still setting a very dark and dreary mood. This album, among some others make me very optimistic regarding the future of death metal, especially technical death metal. What Ulcerate have created is another finely crafted masterpiece, something that will undoubtedly become a classic in good time. I say give it a listen, it's surely going to surprise you.

(I copied this review from another site, as I don't really have time to reword it, but I hope the words don't lose their meaning)

These guys are INSANE!!!!!!!!!! Amazing stuff, got into them about a month ago, and their stuff is just inhuman. (Thier name is Unholy if you can't read it) A very cool approach on Doom Metal/Black Doom. Thier new albums are much more of an Avant-Garde approach. Definetly check them out ment to post them here earlier but forgot. The singing style gets some getting used to but definetly check them out.

Deflorate is amazing, but I'm a Black Dahlia Murder fanboy and I'm biased, so yeah :p
