Ooo I had the privilege of seeing them a few times around Reroute to Remain and Come Clarity. Once was a festival, once opening for Bodom (Rest in Power, Alexi), and I think the most bizarre was with Atreyu?

With all of the amazing Swedeath out there, why would you choose trash?

Good album, controversial pick.

Ones I can identify from the image:

Entombed - Left Hand Path

Bloodbath - Resurrection Through Carnage

Carnage - Dark Recollections

At the Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours

Opeth - Morningrise

Eucharist - A Velvet Creation

Edge of Sanity - Purgatory Afterglow

Grave - Into the Grave

Dismember - Massive Killing Capacity

Nihilist - Nihilist (1987-1989)

Also check out:

Afflicted - Prodigal Sun

In Flames - first 5 albums

Dark Tranquility

Soilwork

Left Hand Path by Entombed

Opeth, listen to early Opeth.

Big Swedish Death and Melodeath fan here. The first three easy recommendations for me would be Entombed -Wolverine Blues, At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul, and In Flames - Colony.

Some others that haven't been mentioned:

• Necrophobic - The Nocturnal Silence
• Cemetary - An Evil Shade of Grey
• Seance - Fornever Laid to Rest
• Unleashed - Where No Life Dwells

cheating : carcass, arch enemy

Unleashed - Shadows in the Deep

(one of?) the Entombed singers hanged out with us in a café in Vöxjö in the early nineties.

Mroooo wroooo roooooo!

I was told (IIRC) it was speed trash death metal.

I have absolutely no idea if anything of this is true.

What?

One of my absolute favourite bands

Thanks!

Yes!

Phobopholic (Enveloping Absurdity)

Psycroptic (no particular album)

Revocation (Existence is Futile/New Gods, New Masters)

Undergang (Undhentet af Døden) (if you like some/any of this album their Split EP is cool too if I remember correctly)

Edit: please recommend me 2 of your favourite leftist black albums and 2 of your favourite Death Metal albums

I echo big brain over there, please drop the leftist metal recs.

No need, Fedora-user here

SABATON - White Death (Official Lyric Video)

https://www.sabaton.net/historical-facts/simo-hayha-born/

Simo Häyhä was arguably the most prolific sniper of all time, earning the nickname “White Death” following up to 505 kills in the Finnish Winter War. Although seriously wounded just before the war ended, he went on to become a hunter and lived to the age of 96.

Left Hand Path is full of bangers

I can see your underwear from down here

Depends wildly on what type of death metal you prefer. There are some more classic death recs from Sweden, particularly Entombed, but Sweden is most popular for developing melodic death. At The Gates and In Flames are the one-two punch for getting into the melodic death sub genre. Soilwork is even more approachable, sort of the bridge to death core in some ways.

Amon Amarth is a little bit of classic, a little melodic, a little black metal, and a little symphonic.

People will argue with me that Opeth is melodic, but they basically are in a different way, and more progressive than anything, especially these days.

Illdisposed, early Amorphis, Carpathian Forest, Demigod are all great

Whatever does being tan have to do with wearing shoes inside?
