The heaviest most melodic band you can think of...

[anglocentric]

just wondered what there was out there thats both really heavy and really melodic? (excluding power metal)

 

[Killbot]

As long as we're not confusing brutality with heaviness, pretty much any funeral doom band would be in with a shout. Absoloutely crushing with unmistakeable flowing, bleak melodies.

Skepticism get my vote with Esoteric and Wormphlegm close behind.

 

[melodic_shreddings]

if you are talking brutality heavy: vehemence,vital remains, beneath the massacre, necrophagist.

if you are talking more death metal, but super melodic, check out arsis for sure.

any power metal is gonna be really melodic.

 

[Avigrus]

Bolt Thrower are heavy and mellodic... well not that heavy, but heavy enough.

 

[RedinTheSky]

This.

I don't listen to much MDM but try Naildown or Dagoba.

Kronos from France. They're brutal death metal, but a lot of the tremolo picked parts are very catchy!

Also, Fleshgod Apocalypse - they're brutal death metal too, but have classical (with piano and orchestra) parts mixed up in their songs.

 

[Xorv]

This.

Insomnium - since the day it all came down

Bolt Thrower are heavy and mellodic... well not that heavy, but heavy enough.

Perfect recommendation - though I've yet to hear a song heavier than World Eater. In fact, Realm of Chaos is one of the, if not the, heaviest albums ever. One of the greatest albums as well.

This. Well I consider it more brutal then heavy.

In fucking deed! It is high up there on heaviest death metal atleast. Best Bolt Thrower album too.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

"World Eater" is so fucking good. As heavy as it sounds.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

And I got to see it played live...twice.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

God, that was awesome.

 

[Dak]

::::Wishes he could see Bolt Thrower live::::

 

[Base Delta Zero]

Every time I listen to World Eater, I stalk around the house like a Chaos God, clutching imaginary grapefruits. I couldn't imagine seeing it played live - I would be way too tempted to just flay the flesh from my face.

Maybe next year I will be able to attend MDF....with my luck with concerts they won't play next year.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Um...yeah they're definitely not coming back again.

 

[Dak]

Sounds like V5 sarcasm.
