Classic Death Metal Albums

Here's 100 classic death metal albums in order by year they were released. No bands were duplicated, each band only got one album even though some have several "classic" albums. If I didn't limit it the list would have been way too long. No demos or splits were included so there's no Nihilist, Nirvana 2002, etc... I tried to keep it pretty straight forward death metal, brutal death and tech death (no melodic death metal really, that could be another list entirely) but there are a few that sort of cross over genres a little. The Prostitute Disfigurement album is Descendants Of Depravity, I guess it just didn't have room for the album name.
