Extreme Yet Beautiful, Ambient, and Awe-Inspiring

I'm mainly pointing to death metal albums of such. A couple of good examples would be Phlebotomized - Immense Intense Suspense and Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris. I guess the key words here are extreme and beautiful.

I'd really appreciate some recommendations and or some discussion, more so the recommendations.

And I know that there's already a recommendation thread, but this is really important to me. If you can't find a place for me in your heart, then shun me out and I will spend the remainder of my days crying . I love you...

Vuvr - Pilgrimage

Exactly what you are looking for. Death Metal/Jazz Fusion, really uplifting and awesome sounding.

Love History - Anasazi may fit as well.

Carbonized - Disharmonization is really weird but I get a really positive vibe from it.

Fuck yes, this album is grandiose, to say the least. But as for recommendations, I'd go with some early Nocturnus and Darkside.

Thanks a lot. I managed to get my hands on the Vuvr and Love History and they're both pretty nice so far

Yeah, that album is probably my favourite metal album of all time. I knew about Noctornus, but I'll check Darkside... Thanks

How about

Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse + any albums
In Flames - Subterranean
Dan Swano - Moontower

also Gorguts have some cool piano interludes stuff, I have only heard "Erosion of Sanity" but it seems to fit that description, and Nile has some cool Egyptian interludes and instrumentals...

edit: I have heard that Paradise Lost started as death metal, can anyone tell me if their early stuff is any good, death metal-wise

Assuming you are referring to the album before Gothic, no.

I am not into Death Metal very much (partly because most DM lacks the features you are asking for in this thread) and don't know the albums you mentioned.

But i suggest that you check the following:

Disembowelment: Transcendence into the Peripheral
Morbid Angel: Altars of Madness (too obvious? not ambient? dunno. Its beautifull.)
Gorguts: Obscura
Amorphis: The Karelian Isthmus

Mithras - Worlds Beyond The Veil (excellent creepy/paranoid feel and awesome solos)
Anata - The Infernal Depths Of Hatred (sublime use of emotional melody)

It's not strictly death metal but definitely fits the requirements:

Argentum - Ad Interitum Funebrarum
