Top 10 Death Metal Albums of the 21st Century

Death Metal has changed significantly since the 80s when it emerged. Old school death metal was kinda thrashy which doesn't mean bad - I just want to say that in the 90s death metal demonstrated some of its own distinctive characteristics that weren't too much related to thrash metal. And in the 21st century we already have a broader spectrum of sounds.

Typical for the death metal of the 21st century are more progressive, more technical, and overall - more complex elements of the songs.
