What Death Metal Band Do You Feel Has the Best Guitar Leads and Solos?

What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…

Question: Could be melodeath, prog, tech, brutal, old school, I really don’t care, as obviously all the above feature some pretty talented guitarists.
(the Brother’s Ammot for Arch Enemy, Chuck and his stable of leads for Death, Barry Thompson from Bolt Thrower is underrated as heck, etc, etc)

MQ- Favorite Death Metal lead guitarist, and why?

MQ2- Favorite song by said guitarist?
MQ3- Favorite SOLO by said guitarist?
slayer is not death metal, sparky. please play again later!

Answer: How come you’re obsessed with lead guitarists these days? :P anyway…best death metal lead guitarist?..

cant post any links…am in college..

Peter Lake – Theory in Practice (he brings the neo classical and proggy elements into the bands sound..makes it very interesting!)
James Murphy – Obituary, Death (He has his signature style…very easy to recognise his solos)
Vishal Jit Singh – Amogh Symphony (brilliant prog tech jazzy band from India! brilliant musicianship!)
Tommy Vetterli – Coroner (Well..they do have some death moments..and this guitarist is a legend!)

ill answer the rest when i go home..

    Might be a predicable answer, but I just can’t refute the technical prowless of Chuck Schuldiner, Although I do like the Neo Classical/Power Metal flavors of Alex Laiho and the sound of Micheal Ammot’s stuff (Arch Enemy has a sound that I love but have no idea what influenced it and where it came from)…I think Chuck still carries the torch.

    MQ2- Flesh and the Power it Holds

    MA – Muhammed Suicmez (Necrophagist) and Chuck Schuldiner (Death)

    MA2 – Muhammed – Fermented Offal Discharge and Ignominious and Pale; Chuck – Spirit Crusher and Flattening of Emotions

    MA2 – Muhammed – Fermented Offal Discharge and Epitaph; Chuck – almost all of them
