Good call dude, I've been rocking them a lot lately as well, and A Diamond For Disease is an extremely awesome DM song.
I'll always be a Chuck worshiper, the amount of feeling he could wrench out of a solo is amazing. An innovator in the true sense of the word.
I also vote for Jon LeVasseur, Cryptopsy is extreme metal/death metal royalty and Jon, Flo aside, is a big reason for it. Huge riffage, spastic solos, borderline noise/avant garde moments and some very tasty tech-moments.
Very special mention: Scott Hull, although associated mostly w/grindcore, always had a DM sensibility to his riffage, he is a pummeling raw machine and Pig Destroyer is one of the most satisfying grindcore groups around. Scott is catchy as can be, heavy, inventive and has an old school flare that I find really appealing.
