Which one do you prefer?  And try to pick out of these ones, just because they're the most well-known, I guess.  Not trying to cover everything, just some of the (for the most part) underground classics.  And I know I definitely left out some, did that on purpose, I don't like having too many albums because then the poll results are too spread thin.

Also, I tried to keep it to one album per band.  So if Human is your favorite Death album, sorry.

I don't have that DSO album, and I'd probably like it more than at least 3 of those albums, but I voted Symbolic

"Unquestionable Presence" is an alltime favorite of mine. It gets my vote.

I think my vote goes to Deathspell Omega.  Thought about it going to either None So Vile or Obscura too, but Fas I think is just personally my favorite out of these.

Also, thought about putting Jupiter just cause I know you like that one more, UMUR, but Unquestionable Presence seems like more of a widely known "cliassic." Smile

I like "Jupiter" but "Unquestionable Presence" will always be something special in my book. It�s a masterpiece and spiced up with nostalgic memories from my teen years, it�s one of the favorites in my collection. Along with "Into the Everflow" by Psychotic Waltz, it�s probably the album I�ve listened to the most times.

It's got to be None So Vile.  Superior to Symbolic instrumentally and structurally.

Symbolic for me. It's the album that taught me to appreciate tech death metal back in the day.

You really should added the "Other" option... I think it's more fair for who that have different opinions.

This.

Out of the list it has to be Symbolic. 

Reason: It's the only one I've heard.

Firstly, where's Meshuggah? They're among the most popular tech metal bands out there, aren't they?
From the list above I choose None so Vile, even though it's not my favourite album by this band. 
I need to get into Death a little bit more to form a final opinion... but it won't top NsV anyway.

The reason why I didn't add the "Other" option was just because I didn't want this to be a poll where that is the highest rated option, thus having the other options spread more thin.

And I did think about Meshuggah, but I just didn't put it in.  Probably a mistake, but it didn't really fit in.  Didn't think I wanted to add any djent for the list.  Djent doesn't quite sound extreme enough to me, although Cynic may not either.  Not totally sure.

Also, the poll is for extreme metal.  Meshuggah isn't that extreme.

Symbolic for me, although Obscura, None So Vile, and Unquestionable Presence are also favorites of mine.
