Melodic Death Metal

[Ishmayeck]

Who is also like me a fellow slave addict of to this genre? I can't seem to get these songs out of my head... Always looking for more melodic death metal bands, list your favorites here.

Dark Tranquility
Norther
In Flames
I've heard At the Gates are good, but I haven't listened to them much... guess I dig out Frostwire now and try them out

i just posted in your thread about norther..but just incase... i suggest you get some stuff by children of bodom they are my personal favorite melodic death metal band...

Their first 2 albums arent as good as their others (personal opinion) but i would most suggest the album 'follow the reaper'.

Enjoy

i really can't recommend Amon Amarth highly enough. its melodic death metal with strong lyrical themes of Norse mythology and general viking epicness. the albums 'with oden on our side' and 'versus the world' are probably my favorites, but its all brilliant.

if you don't mind slightly higher vocals, then try out 'enthrone darkness triumphant' by dimmu borgir and 'reinkaos' by dissection. theyre not technically death metal but i think if you like one you might like the other.

I'm not a big fan of traditional Swedish melodic death metal (like In Flames or Dark Tranquility). Arch Enemy is an exception.

However, I am big fan of Children of Bodom (first three/four albums), Amon Amarth, The Project Hate (who have electronic elements), Norther and Wintersun.

well, trivium is a lighter standard, but one of my favorites as they are the first MDM band i listened to...yeah, got to agree that children of bodom is one of my favorite bands, hands down...umm, i cant think of anybody right now as it is late at night...just had to post cause i'm happy as hell there are some ppl out there who've fallen prey to the beauty that is this musical genre...metal ftw

[szadek]

Trivium are thrash/metalcore.

[bleedingblue]

yeah, i guess your right...good call...either way, they're the band that got me into metal/grindcore/the heavier rock...

[lord of beer]
