10 Grooviest Death Metal Albums of All Time, Chosen by Kataklysm

Here are the 10 grooviest death metal albums of all time, chosen by Kataklysm's Maurizio Iacono and Jean-Francois Dagenais.

For more than two decades, Kataklysm have been a battering ram of hard-grooving death metal. The style that came to define their sound after their early experimentations with a chaotic, unhinged take on death metal across their first two albums, in particular.

Now on their 15th album, Goliath, Kataklysm are as potent as ever, saddling ferocious grooves while upping the ante with concussive blasts that give the rhythms a necessary push/pull dynamic.

So, who better to school everyone about the grooviest death metal albums in existence than some of the very best to ever do it? Co-founders Iacono and Dagenais each name five records that fit the bill in the list below, mixing in some classic choices alongside some of the more truly underground ones.
