Subiektywny ranking death metalu

Nie uwzględniliśmy ośmiu płyt wykraczających zdecydowanie nie tylko poza ramy gatunku, ale i schematyczne szufladkowanie:
Atheist (Piece Of Time, Unquestionable Presence), Cynic (Focus), Death (Human, Symbolic, The Sound Of Perseverance) i Pestilence (Testimony Of The Ancients, Spheres).
