The old school of death metal is still kicking, still alive showing the new breed how things were done back in the day. With the exception of the latest Morbid Angel record, Grave, Immolation, Incantation, Asphyx, Obituary and many more of the old school have kept their sound alive and honored their household names with solid to great albums.
