Arch Enemy, Black Earth(1996)

Melodic death metal from Sweden

Arch Enemy started as a side project from Carcass member Michael Amott. It continued the more melodic side of Carcass. Nowadays you can call Arch Enemy commercial melo death. But this debut sounds special to me...the vocals remind a bit of Carnivore's Peter Steele.

Entombed, Clandestine(1991)

Death metal from Sweden

Clandestine by Entombed is my favorite death metal album all times. Brutal riffs and the one-time appearance of vocalist Johnny Dordevic...what a voice. Or not? Some say it's drummer Andersson who recorded the vocals. Don't care cause this album slamms.
