Depends wildly on what type of death metal you prefer. There are some more classic death recs from Sweden, particularly Entombed, but Sweden is most popular for developing melodic death. At The Gates and In Flames are the one-two punch for getting into the melodic death sub genre. Soilwork is even more approachable, sort of the bridge to death core in some ways.
Amon Amarth is a little bit of classic, a little melodic, a little black metal, and a little symphonic.
People will argue with me that Opeth is melodic, but they basically are in a different way, and more progressive than anything, especially these days.
Y’all got any recs?
Illdisposed, early Amorphis, Carpathian Forest, Demigod are all great
Well have you listened to Clayman by In Flames yet?
