I am surprised Carcass-heartwork has so many votes because while being great it is still overrated as hell.
Best melodeath album?

Dissection is the only Extreme metal band that I've ever heard use country riffs. Somberlain and SOTLB fucking rule, though.
( Of course I picked The Red in The Sky is Ours by At The Gates. It's the best)
Dissection to me are a black metal band. People seem to consider them either melodic death metal or black metal.
Unanimated sound like a black metal band and people consider them death metal.

Now, now, now...... it's not Melodeath.... it's the Gothenburg style.
Seriously.... some of these genre definitions are so stupid.
I'm fairly certain that "Carcass - Heartwork" is the only melodeath album that I've heard and liked.

Whether or not you compare it to Death Metal albums of the early 90's, you should be able to tell that there's something much different in both the twin guitar style and the drumming ( which is so excellent) that makes them more than a thrash death or melo death or even just death metal band. That's Gothenburg.

Haven't been here as much, and have been more than lenient with the threads/posts lately in order to encourage more open-ended (unintruded upon) discussion. Seems to have worked.

No it isn't :\
TRITSIO is very far from the Gothenburg sound.
The best Gothenburg album I've heard is Omnium Gatherum's Spirits and August Light.
It's cool people are mentioning sentenced 'north from here' because it's one of the most early melodic death metal albums. Besides how they influenced the entire finnish metal culture they probably played a role in the entire swedish gothenburg scene. That's pretty incredible to me.

Spirits And August Light is a PRIME EXAMPLE of extremely well-done, emotional melo-death/Gothenburg with style and conviction. Ace disc!

Death Delirium:I think I'm the only who mentioned it in this thread besides you and NFH has only recieved two votes so far. The 2nd one is not from me;(probably form that BurningWitch guy) I voted Other. Yea NFH is a pretty incredible album, once you sink your teeth into it. The sound on it strikes me as a bit odd and out of tune at times but that's a minor quibble, considering the sheer excellence of songs like the opener, Fields of Blood;Harvester of Hate, Capture of Fire and Northern Lights
Interesting about the out of tune opinion. North From Here is very double guitar oriented and about harmonizing and there are going to be some flaws. I generally think the harmonizing on a lot of parts is just perfect and sounds in tune to my ears and the fact that the band was pretty young just blows my mind. Both guitar tracks are very distinguishable from each other and blend while both demenstrating they are very much seperate and have different ideas about how sections should be played. I have heard a lot of metal and most people don't even try to distinguish guitarists or guitar tracks. Sentenced was like taking 80's iron maiden with the modern extremities of black and death metal going on during the time period. I am pretty sure the band also recorded the album in one takes and in a very short time period and they pulled off the harmonizing and layering just about perfect.
also. I think older At The Gates and this Sentenced are still very different when it comes to melodic death metal but both really demenstrate identity and indivuality between two guitarists and really push it for especially for the time period.

Does anyone else see Bloodbath as being melodic on resurrection through carnage and nightmares made flesh ?. I always thought majority of the melodies/harmonies used throughout are melodic. Anders just writes and has a more dark sinister and eerie approach to it than other swedish bands like in flames,dark tranquality,at the gates,etc. Instead of bloodbath sounding gothernburg their harmonies and melody resemble Amorphis-the karelian isthmus and expanding some of the parts you would hear on albums like god macabre-the winterlong,necrophobic-the nocturnal silence and other swedish and finland death metal bands. I think people seem to general see melody as being really flowery and poppy which is not always true.
