Am I Blood

Gandalf is great too!

Rok!

Malaclypse · January 10th, 2002, 07:20 AM

Crown Of Autumn, anyone?

silentlistener · January 10th, 2002, 02:31 PM

Exhumation also is good! dt meets gardenian meets soilwork meets opeth

Mad cow · January 10th, 2002, 03:19 PM

Thess aren't death metal, but it's two good bands anyway.
Beneath - Trash Metal
Hell n' Diesel - Unsure of what I would call this, Hard Rock and Roll maybe

Daniel · January 10th, 2002, 03:29 PM

Man, I can't believe nobody even mentioned Edge Of Sanity, the most underrated band of all time. If you don't have albums such as Purgatory Afterglow or Crimson your life is not complete. 'Nuff said.

silentlistener · January 13th, 2002, 12:04 PM

Norther - like CoB, melodic progressive death

Everlost · January 17th, 2002, 11:08 AM

There's a band called Dark tranquillity too!!!

I guess Tiamat and Gates of Ishtar are worth mentioning too

I stumbled upon these guys awhile ago. Their a bunch of kids trying to do melodic death metal with a hint of hardcore. Sure, sounds like their set up for epic failure, But I have to give these guys some props. It actually sounds pretty good and considering their age. I think their song "Pessimist Makes Perfect" dubs them worthy in my book. Check them out and see what you think.

Edge of sanity is most definately incredible and Crimson has been my favorite album for a few years now since i heard it.

Now for my addition to the thread, if any of you have not heard of the band Be'lakor DO IT NOW!!!! They just released there second album and it is incridible and so was there debut "the frail tide". IMO the best Melodeath right now and possibly ever imo. For the record DT is still my favorite band but be'lakor if making it really close.

GO NOW

Insomnium - absolutely!
On their last release there are some nearly perfect melodeath-songs. I look forward to their new release coming later this year!

...but a little bit ahead imo are
MORS PRINCIPIUM EST
Especially their 2nd Release is breathtaking!

Also not that bad are Zonaria and Sacramentum...

IntoPhagist · June 23rd, 2009, 12:32 AM

Insomnium That's it.

All the good Melo Death bands are broken up or just changed now...Dark Tranquillity are the one remaining.

adhmerr · June 23rd, 2009, 05:30 AM

Insomnium are good, but a lot of the riffs are similar to In Flames Whoracle era, whenever I listen to them it makes me want to listen to Whoracle instead.

Salamurhaaja · June 27th, 2009, 11:44 AM

Why are you people digging up the dead?

GO NOW

This.

I saw this thread while scrolling past the DT forum and instantly came in to post this.

It's great that people who don't consider them local whoring them out!

Their myspace

Sun's Delusion, Venator and FSTS are from their new album, the rest are from their debut.

XxSNAPxX · June 29th, 2009, 07:58 PM

a good band although not ALL melodic death metal is Skeletonwitch. at the gates type melodic death/black metal deffinately check it out

axax · July 13th, 2009, 03:52 PM

Oh. Reading through this thread, I see that almost everything passes as melodeath these days. However, this thread is unnecessary, as most of you already found the best melodeath band.

And terminal spirit disease is great, while slaughter of the soul isn't.

hell__yeah666 · August 14th, 2009, 08:08 AM

obscura kataklysm is good to

DisplayofCharacter · August 14th, 2009, 08:40 AM

No one posted Disillusioned?

They are fucking great, get anything but Gloria to start off with.

Back to Times of Splendor is one of my favorite albums - epic, narrative, expressive melodeath with some amazing songwriting, Three Neuron Kings and The Porter are old-school melodeath and really good, and Gloria is pretty weird but has some very good moments.

MrEdenspring · August 16th, 2009, 09:39 AM

Be'lakor

Centinex

Sounds like... victory.

NFU · August 29th, 2009, 11:46 AM

the best NEW melodic death bands (who have a lot of thrash moments as well) are in my Opinion: The Absence from Florida and Sylosis from the UK. Both bands are fresh sounding and intense/precise and memorable. check them out.

ProlificDreamer · September 2nd, 2009, 10:34 AM

I'm not sure if we're "good" melodeath however, I'd really enjoy some feedback for my band.

Let me know what you think.

Mors Principium Est's all albums are great (3 of them so far), Insomnium to me resembles more DT.
And as someone mentioned, Edge of Sanity is a must!
I'm not sure if someone has mentioned one of these or both but Omnium Gatherum and Noumena are also worth checking out.

Yeah dude i whore them out to my friends [pretty much every time we talk and on our facebook forum (ABC's of Metal, Join it *cough couch*).

SUCH a great band

Some other great melodeath (i have tons but not all is great lol)
obviously DT, ATG, In flames (If you all dont like the new stuff dont listen to it)
Insomnium
Fatal Embrace
IN THY DREAMS
A Canorous QUintet
Noumena
Disinterment (obscure american melodeath with only one cd and bad production but oh those riffs, Kris norris ex darkest hour is the singer and guitrar player)
Enforsaken
EDge of sanity (Dan Swano is my lord and savior)
Garden of shadows
IN MOURNING
unanimated
Vehemence
without grief

I guess i could have made this two posts but im lazy.

I have plenty more melodeath but these are just the good ones i could think of while in class. My collection is like half melodeath lol
