Episode said:

Behemoth - Satanica, Thelema.6, Zos Kia Cultus (Here And Beyond), Demigod, The Apostasy, Evangelion.

Nile - Those Whom The Gods Detest, Annihilation Of The Wicked

Suffocation - Pierced From Within, Effigy Of The Forgotten

Any Death, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Possessed, Obituary, Etc. album. All the classics obviously.

Decrepit Birth's second album, can't think of the title off the top of my head.

At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul

Decapitated - Nihility and Winds Of Creation

:-O

...

I think the Paths Of Possession albums are just as essential as any CC album.

:-\"

SATAN

That's the dumbest thing you've ever posted

...

Let me rephrase that

That band is boring as fuck. At least Corpse were originators of the form before they painted themselves into a corner

...

I just prefer the more melodic touch. CC are good at what they do, but I can't think of a time where I've put on their music and listened to it for more than a song or two at a time.

LoG - Ashes

Tyrant

Could listen to Corpse all day, every day.

...

I think Kill and TOTM are the only Corpse albums I've listened through in one sitting.

SATAN

As cool of a guy as Corpsegrinder seems, I kinda feel like he came in after they'd already peaked. The Chris Barnes albums are \m/

Tyrant

Torture is fucking sweet doe

"Is Machine Head Death or Melodeath?

Either way, the blackening is an essential album."

Asphyx - Self Titled

Interesting choice for an essential from Asphyx.. What draws you to that album?

...

I think it's one of the more consecutive albums, it might not have their absolute best work on it but it's still a great album imo.

On the Wings Of Inferno, Last One On Earth and Embrace the Death re great albums too.

Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh
Gorguts - Obscura

...

Would "The New Black" by SYL qualify?

MetalCoresades

as much as I love SYL... I wouldn't consider them death metal.
