Are there any bands out there that still produce that “90s” sound? (lemmy.world)

There’s a pretty stark difference between modern death metal and the classic stuff that came out of Tampa. While it’s all great, I love the older style. Are there any modern bands that produce that same type of old school death metal vibes that old morbid, obituary, death, etc were known for?

Some of my personal favorite modern bands similar to the Florida death metal style are Skeletal Remains, Suppression, Rude, Outre-Tombe, Astriferous, Malignant Altar, Miscreance, and Sijjin. Some of these also sound similar to Consuming Impulse era Pestilence.

Rude and Skeletal Remains are probably the best shouts hell yeah, adore the rest of the bands too, especially Sijjin!

I might be off the mark but I’m seriously digging Inhuman Condition. https://youtu.be/cFeAZ0qxy4E

I really really like that band, it's a continuation of Massacre and all right? They make it sound really refreshing and just fun to listen to

Some good suggestions in here by @SilentViking and @DoomAxe already, but I'm gonna throw in some lesser known personal favorites as well if you're feeling a little more thirsty:

Plague (Greece)
Obscene (US, Indiana) (esp. for that Obituary sound)
Molder (US, Illinois) (autopsy-esq)
Pathogen (Philippines)
Ectoplasma (Greece) (they mix a lot of styles though)
Savage Deity (Thailand) (esp. for morbid angel, a lil rougher production though)
Thulsa Doom (Italy) (esp. for morbid angel, possessed)
