Any recs for good death metal bands with only ONE guitarist?

I'll recommend Drowned for one from Germany, great stuff.

Another great band, this time from America, and that is Drawn And Quartered.

Also check out Lantern. Really cool stuff.

If you're not already familiar with them, you need to hear Claws from Finland. Really cool old school death.

Another, newer (and fuckin' killer) outfit is Bastard Priest from Sweden.

From Australia is Destruktor. Maybe more of a black/death hybrid, yet there is still some very strong death metal in their style.

All with only one guitarist, all fucking awesome.

Looking for something like Entombed's Wolverine Blues.
Something gritty and on the dm side of things, but with a healthy dose of groove.
Thanks all

I'm not too crazy about most of the Old school Death Metal revival bands I've heard so far. Most of them don't bring anything new to the table and just sound boring. I checked out Horrendous The Chills because of the good press and ended up being disappointed. Anyone have a good band that plays in that style to recommend?

Why did it disappoint you? It has all the great traits of OSDM, from Sweden to Florida with a little step over the Netherlands. It's hard to recommend you something when the best rec I have is the one band/album you don't like.

Anyway, for Swedish DM revival you have Maim, Repugnant or Necrovation, and you can also check out Undergang if you like stuff like Rottrevore or Rippikoulu. Also check out Slugathor and their post-breakup incarnation Desecresy for Bolt Thrower worship mixed with Finnish DM. That should keep you entertained for a while.

You could try Hearse, it's like Wolverine Blues mixed with early Arch Enemy.

I'm looking for something along the lines of Incantation's "Onward to Golgotha" except with dual high and low screams/growls.

They sound very much like Wolverine Blues era Entombed. A number of bands followed Entombed into Death'n'roll territory, but most were nowhere near as good but you could also try Desultory Swallow the Snake lp and Convulse Reflections lp.

While different to Entombed you could also try early Illdisposed, heavy stuff but with a good sense of groove.

Thanks Androdion and Dontlivefast just die, all those bands were awesome. I especially liked Slugathor and Maim.

You might check out:

Graveyard (this one: http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Graveyard/111014 )

And perhaps also Interment.

This might be an odd request but bear with me. Some of you may have heard of Revocation, which are supposed to be some sort of new technical death/thrash band. Sounds super boring, right? I thought so to, until I heard this song, which is a pretty interesting modern take on total fucking speed metal. Just listen to the catchy pre-chorus at :56, or the part where the solo speeds up at 2:29. Death metal? Haha yeah right. However, this song is totally fucking awesome and I'm wondering if you guys know anything like it. I.e. super melodic modern speed/thrash metal with a bit of death metal influence only in the drumming and the vocals. Totally awesome meedly-meedly-moo style lead guitars are a must. Anybody up to the challenge? Arsis' debut is also a pretty good indicator of what I'm looking for, as well as this other Revocation track.

Bingo! Graveyard hit my request on the head and Interment turned out to be a great band regardless. Thanks

Lykathea Aflame- I'm sure you've heard plenty of mixed opinions about this band on the board but they really are worth your time.

Augury- again you've probably heard of them but check them out.

Dark Lunacy- If you decide to only check out one band I recommend then make it this one, pure awesomeness of the most awesome proportions. each album is totally different and each one still manages to be epic, emotional and dramatic. I would start with "The Diarist".

Hacksaw to the throat- Don't let the name fool you these guys are epic, intelligent and they really know how to write a song.

Odious Mortem- Great, brutal, and somewhat like Nile. This band is sick.

I kind of forgot that you were looking for bands that sounded like Nile when I started writing that but each band is epic and brutal.
