Bands like Vinterland, Sacramentum, Dissection?

[complication]

I LOVE this style and am not too familiar with similar bands. Any others out there?

 

[Blind Guardian]

Unanimated. Much closer to the Dissection sound than the Sacramentum sound though.

Not trying to be a pain in the ass, but Unanimated are melodic death metal fyi. As for recommendations the only band I can't think of right now is Astriaal

Yeah, and they are very similar to Dissection. From what I remember almost too similar.

How the fuck has DAWN not been mentioned? Get anything and everything you can find by them, most notably Nær Solen Gar Nider For Evogher and Sorgh på Svarte Vingar Fløgh. This is exactly what you're looking for, and probably the best band that ever played the style next to Sacramentum and their magnificent debut.

Another that can't be stressed enough is Throne of Ahaz - Nifelheim. Although much more on the raw BM side, it's pretty much the father of all Swedish Melodic Black Metal. On Twilight Enthroned is also worth checking out.

Unanimated's Ancient God of Evil, although certainly more on the Death Metal end of the spectrum, will also surely appeal to you. A must.

Another must is Cardinal Sin's Spiteful Intents. It features John Zwetsloot, the guitarist from The Somberlain, and is essentially a continuation of the style.

Try all of these as well:

The Abyss - The Other Side
Decameron - ...My Shadow
Lord Belial - Enter the Moonlight Gate
Mork Gryning - Tusen Ar Har Gatt
Setherial - Nord
Sorhin - I Det Glimrande Mörkrets Djup
Swordmaster - Wraths of Time
The Black - The Priest of Satan
The Moaning - Blood From Stone

Dawn is a very fitting recommendation for this thread yes. In my opinion far superior to Sacramentum.

 

[complication]

Thanks a lot guys. This is my favorite type of BM.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

The Moaning borders on melodeath at times but they aren't bad.

this has been done to death. these are two albums and EP you need, but are always ignored:

Hirilorn - Legends of Evil and Eternal Death
Sad Legend - Sad Legend
Sad Legend - Searching for Hope in Utter Darkness

 

[TheInsane]

I remember a few ec-Dissection guys went on to form a band called Soulreaper (yes taken from the Dissection song). I think they sounded alot like Dissection but its been a really long time since I heard anythng from them.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Hirilorn - Legends of Evil and Eternal Death

Seconded. I guess I should check out Sad Legend.

As far as Soulreaper goes, there's a definite influence from Dissection, but they're pretty much straight up Death Metal.

My name is Christopher and I approve this post.

 

[Seditious]

Seconded. I guess I should check out Sad Legend.

ASAP

cheers bro ive heard none of these. or sad legend for that matter.

mattsson: dawn is great but 'far superior to sacramentum'? are you mad?

 

[TheInsane]

Seconded. I guess I should check out Sad Legend.

Thats the second time you say that but in reality Dissection is pretty much melodic death metal as well. I agree it has a black metal feel to it but the riffs are often in the borderline area between the genres. They also incorporated quite abit of traditional heavy metal influence.

 

[no country for old wainds]

so, then, i guess dissection aren't really 'straight up death metal', are they?

 

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

No, but Soulreaper basically is

Check out Dawn Of Dreams (Ger) - Darklight Awakening...you'll thank me.

 

[Blind Guardian]

mattsson: dawn is great but 'far superior to sacramentum'? are you mad?

I dont want to take that discussion because i know everyone loves Sacramentum while i dont like them at all, so i'm obviously going to be outnumbered. Dont like them, that's all.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i don't think FAFTS is an easy album to 'get' for some people, but it's SO GREAT once you do. naturally i recommend giving them 100 more chances 'til they click

 

[Blind Guardian]

I have FAFTS and i do think Fogs Kiss is a great song, i also like in some of the other songs when they do this disharmonic thing, but the thing that ruins it for me is that i think it lacks flow, and i'm always bothered by the drumming that often feels too random. Maybe it hasn't clicked with me because i haven't listened to it a lot even though i've had it for many years. Maybe i'll try again sometime in the future.
