The Top Ten

1 Septicflesh Septicflesh

Portrait of a headless man... Enough said

Just listen to Oceans of Grey

awesome

SepticFlesh surpasses every other band in any genre and it is an understatement to label them as just Symphonic Death Metal even though that is what in essence they are. It's just the most Artistic, Philosophical, Magnifiscent, Dark, Morbid and Brutally Crushing music you will ever hear with 'Anubis' being their biggest masterpiece in Metal or Music history in general. No band can compare to these Greek Titans.

2 Fleshgod Apocalypse Fleshgod Apocalypse Fleshgod Apocalypse is an Italian death metal band. Formed in 2007, the group resides in Perugia and are currently signed to Willowtip Records and Nuclear Blast. The band is known for their fusion of metal with technical death metal.

The best symphonic death metal I've ever heard. Many classics are there already despite that are just releasing their fifth album. I wish them long time with such a creativity and talent.
Something to give a try if you want to start: The Fool, Sugar, The Violation, Paramour, Gravity - just to name a few exceptional songs. But honestly, I could not call any "bad" track from them, these are really exceptional among the very goods.
Interesting fact: for their album King they released the orchestratic version of the songs, they are just fenomenal on their own too.
Enough of words, go and listen - their videos are pretty good too! (But definitely nothing for the work! :) )

They are the amalgamation of beauty and brutality! I am so in love with them

This band is just incredible, with two vocalists, they really got me into this genre, Make Them Suffer's NEVERBLOOM album is kind of similar but only like 30%, not as priceless. I love this band, but I am yet to try the others on this list!

The best symphonic death metal band no doubt! Check their album the agony and you will that they really deserve the 1st spot :).. - nooreldeen

24 Obscura Qalma

"We are talking about death metal with modern connotations, which favors the threatening pace of speed, with the addition of a symphonic touch, just enough to give an even darker tone to the compositions.

"The proposal focuses on power, the impact is strong and the end-of-world atmosphere is palpable. The ideas are not lacking and, if you like riffs in mid-time, I'm sure you will find worthy moments.
