Greatest Death Metal Closing Tracks

The Top Ten
1 Blackwater Park - Opeth
2 Quantum Catastrophe - Brain Drill

11 minutes of Technical Death Metal madness (madness in a good way). Brain Drill don't slow down for a second. These guys are masters. One of the fastest bands ever.
The song is 16 minutes long but the last 5 minutes are sounds and silence (shows what comes after the Quantum Catastrophe)

3 Downfall - Children of Bodom

One of the best examples of melodic death metal.

4 Scream Bloody Gore
5 Fermented Offal Discharge - Necrophagist
6 The Deported - Beyond Creation

This song is an example of the most modern sound of death metal as of 2018 (a song of 2011)

7 Weltseele - Obscura
8 The Philosopher - Death

I appreciate this album and this song because it shows that death metal began developing its own sound - sound that is more metal and less thrashy, less hardcore punk, less grind, less core. Overall, less punk and more metal, which made room for more progressive and technical elements in death metal.

9 Centric Flow - Obscura
10 Winter's Gate, Pt. 7 - Insomnium

From their 2016 album (melodic death metal with many progressive elements)

The Contenders
11 Of Petrichor Weaves Black Noise - Ne Obliviscaris

A band with a very modern progressive sound

12 Perennial Quest - Death
13 To Walk Forth from Flames Unscathed - Nile
14 Fundamental Process - Beyond Creation
15 An Epilogue to Infinity - Obscura
16 Kissing the Shadows - Children of Bodom
17 Hate Crew Deathroll - Children of Bodom
