Both of those are awesome, I'll have to research them.  Thanks for the help!

---

Yeah I'm not really either haha.  Just trying to be open-minded and try new things.  I like your video though, cool stuff.  Thanks for the help!

Ok, I'll break some stuff Down for you.

Old School


Fast Melodic Death


Slow Melodic Death


Brutal Death


Technical Death


Brutal/Technical

Come on guys, rec him something good!
 
Krypts are cool, as are Immolation and Death (obviously!)
 
Heres's a list of some (relatively) well known bands that I think are good starting points for a few different styles of DM. I suggest you write it Down and go through at your own pace, because, providing my memory works, it'll be somewhat long.
I'll give you the band name and 1 or 2 albums that I think are their best.
 
Here goes:
 
Autopsy - Severed Survival / Mental Funeral (Death/Doom)
Obituary - Slowly We Rot / Cause of Death (Old School Death)
Angelcorpse - Exterminate / The Inexorable (Black/Death)
Cannibal Corpse - Eaten Back To Life / Butchered At Birth (Brutal / Old School)
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness / Covenant (Old School Death)
Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten (Technical Death)
Cryptopsy - NoNe So Vile (Technical Death)
Demolition Hammer - Tortured Existence / Epidemic of Violence (Death/Thrash)
Entombed - Left Hand Path (Death n Roll )
Gorguts - Considered Dead / The Erosion of Sanity (Technical Death)
Carcass - Necroticism / Heartwork (Death/Grindcore/Melodeath)
Merciless - The Awakening (Death / Thrash)
Napalm Death - Scum / From Enslavement to Obliteration (Grindcore)
Infester - Into The Depths...In Degradation (Death /Doom / Pure Evil!)
Atheist - Piece of Time / Unquestionable Presence (Technical Death)
Immolation - Dawn of Possession (Old School Death)
Dissection - The Somberlain / Storm of the Lights Bane (Black / Death, much more Black Metal than Death but they're fucking awesome so listen anyway!)
 
I can't be bothered anymore but that's a good few that should help to get you into the genre. Enjoy.

So pretty much every Death Metal band that formed Pre-1990s

I remember having fun once, it was terrible...

If you were to replace NoNe So Vile with Blasphemy Made Flesh, remove Cannibal Corpse and Dissection, and lastly remove Carcass' Heartwork, that list would be perfect.
