I think some more recent Malevolent Creation is in B, some cryptopsy perhaps. If you drop the B to an A you can do some Nasum, Nile, Cephalic Carnage...

Nevermore and CC use 7-strings not plain ol B on a 6 string guitar.

Cryptopsy always tuned to B.
Despised icon
Hypocrisy have most tunes in B
Carcass as mentioned...
Entombed on their two first.
most Grave songs are in B
Fear Factory have most tunes in B as well.
Vomit Remnants have most in B if you like slam stuff.
Exhumed or any Carcass clone basically
Aborted
Spawn of Possession
Wormed

Perhaps not all of those are in your range, but they could be fun for a challenge or so

All the B tuning bands I can think of have been said. If you don't mind dropping your bottom string to A, for that sort of level, I would recommend trying a bit of Vile in Drop A. I think they actually play in A standard, but it's not hard to transpose the tabs to drop A.

Devourment is in B
Skinless is in B
Krisiun has been in B from Ageless Venomous onward (C# on Conquerors, D on Apocalyptic and prior)

Vital Remains is in D, and Incantation is in C for whoever was wondering.

Called enharmonics right? Something not to actually due with the key it self because they sound the same, but the math behind it. There located at different intervals from what i remeber.

Enharmonic equivalents are D# and Eb, Ab and G#, etc. They're the same note. I think Cb and B, etc. are probably enharmonic equivalents aswell.

SICKSICKSICKM4GGOT is right, they are used in some scales. If you ever do come across them (which you wont), on sheet music, all you do is play the enharmonic equivalent (i.e. existing note).

They exist because each normal scale must have each letter. There are some really weird occurings where notes are written as C## and shit (this would just be played as a D).

If you want be to go further into it I will, can't be fucked now.

Well, I'm guessing eveyone here hates them 'cause they've not been mentioned but Slipknot use drop B tuning for the majority of their songs. When Dime was in Damageplan he used drop B for some songs, Down tune down to B......the list is endless.

It's not that we hate them, they're just not worth mentioning.

Yeah, which is almost the same as B, just that the #6 string is dropped to A.

I think Vital Remains plays in like Eb or something. Its not low at all.

Pig Destroyer, but [Scott Hull] plays a se7en string a lot of the time.
