I agree that a lot of the imagery and song titles surrounding Death Metal are ridiculous but when it started to push Thrash Metal to one side in the late 80's with it's complex time changes and heavier riffing, you could'nt help but be struck by it, if that was your genre of choice back then. Death and Obituary still remain the quintessential Death Metal bands for me.

I think Death Metal is a lot of fun. These lyrics from Entombed's "Full of Hell" always crack me up.

I've got a 24-lane highway
going straight thru my head
a peace of mind like a brainstorm
and thoughts that knocks me dead
I've got sympathy for the devil
and demon is in my vein
I'm organized chaos
but don't call me stupid I'm insane
At my worst I'm at my best
wide awake but let sanity rest
I'm full of hell
all kinds of hell.

...by the way, little good devil worshiping has done for them financially. lol

Psycroptic are good musicians, but none of their songs are terribly memorable for me.

At The Gates
Suffocation
Nile

DM aficionados should get their hands on anything by !T.O.O.H.! Recently defunct, but awesome.
