10 most brutal metal band

just to spark some life in the forum list what you think are the 10 most brutal, technical, and intense (but also listenable) metal bands in areas of death, metalcore and thrash/groove metal like hard, technical, groovy, metal that are not very symphonic but have atmosphere and soul (for the lack of a better word)

make a list of bands for me to check out on Spotify

it is very kind 

but i have one rule of thumb, it GOTTA be listenable and interesting, not brutal onslaught, of pure ear bleeding noise but anything goes of course (im not say you should limit yourselves but it is important that the bands have some musical integrity and diversity or have strong imagery from mythology, mythical themes, exotic chords and such

Nile is one band that i myself enjoys so you have one band which are brutal but also have musical integrity with Egyptian sounds which is kewl

thanks pall, you could also post some doom metal bands also if you feel for doing that, 

I"m not too big on the spelling of "brootal". It sounds like some kid talking about deathcore, but I'll be happy to share the most brutal bands I can think of. I'm not sure how a band can really be all that brutal and intense without being "listenable" to the average person.

Dragged into Sunlight and Houwitzer are two of some of the most brutal acts I've come across. Necrophagist, of course is pretty brutal IMO, and some of the technical shreddy parts may be the "listenable" stuff to listen to. In fact, I'd think most Tech-death is really brutal while still often being pretty "listenable".

i am checking MaYaN now adg111232,  they seem to be awesome and i like what I hear 

Strapping Young Lad`s City is angriest and aggressive album I`ve heard.
