Usurper
Deicide
Entombed
Death
At The Gate
Anata
Carcass

There are loads more if but when i had a random look at wikipedia what they were classing as death metal half my itunes must consist of death metal lol.
 
Fav black metal bands. And yes some of these are not traditional black metal by any means!

Wolves In the throne room
Bathory
Enslaved
Ulver
Burzum
Deathspell omega
 
Genres are way too confusing for me to keep track of so I ignore them for the most part. I guess the Bands I like that are closest to Black/Death Metal are

As Blood Runs Black
Opeth
All Shall Perish
The Black Dahlia Murder
Premonitions of War.

I mostly listen to Metalcore I guess. Some bands sound so completely different from eachother but get lumped into Metalcore.
 
What is this death or black metal thread? I don't really like raw black metal so I guess I'm not tr00. I personally like polished black metal more like newer Dimmu Borgir and the last two Immortal records. Hypocrisy's last album is amazing too.
 
Nice death metal lists Hellhammer and spoon man. Great to see Necrophagist and Carcass getting some mentions. I will also toss Pig Destroyer and Gorgoroth into the mix...
 
Here is a list to hold you over. ( I don't listen to much Black Metal but here are some bands that I have either heard or own stuff from)


Burzum
Carpe Tenebrum
Covenant
Darkthrone
Det Hednske Folk
Dimmu Borgir
Dodhiemsgard
Emperor
Enslaved
Gehenna
Gorgoroth
Immortal
Isengard
Kampfar
Limbonic Art
Mayhem (You should read the back story of this band... good lord)
Obtained Enslavementt
Odium
Old Man's Child
Ragnarok
Satyricon

Not a real big fan of Black Metal. I am more a Death Metal fan personally. And yes I feel there is a big difference between BM and DM.

Forgot Behemoth, especially their early stuff.....All though their newer stuff seems to be more DM.
Vadar comes to mind also.

Death Metal:

Obituary
Death
Cannibal Corpse (All though we can start crossing lines with gore metal here also)
Carcass
Opeth
Morbid Angel (some songs could be crossed to black metal thou)
Nile
Nihilist
Entombed
Carnage
Dismember
Unleashed
Dark Tranquility
Paradise Lost (older stuff)
Sepultura (older stuff think schizophrenia and morbid visions)
Slayer (first two albums, but they can also cross if you look at the lyrics for anti church etc)
Suffocation
Fear Factory (Soul of a New Machine)
Decapitated
Goth
Doom
Unearthed
Embryonic Death
Immolation
Mortician (grind core also)
Napalm Death (grind core also)
