Insomnium isn't really melodeath like people say it is, it's slow, it isn't aggressive and it's melancholy. Their subject matter is often death and sorrow, It's much more doomy than the gothic metal people have posted and it sure as hell isn't melodeath lol.
Blood Tsunami are a thrash band, there's no way around that. They do death metal growls, screams and some cookie monsterisms, I'd say that makes them...thrashy death metal.
I admit I don't own Deathrash Assault, but I have listened to it. It's death/thrash. You're a moron if you don't think that it is.
Deathrace King, I will grant you, is probably more death-n-roll than thrash. It's still thrashy enough to me to categorize as thrash.
I'll bet that you haven't listened to VII Arcano but it's general concensus that they have black, death and thrash metal influences. If you've listened to The Arcane Order, you'd know that they're thrashy melodeath. Thrash metal is FAST and AGGRESSIVE, like all of the bands I listed

According to metal-archives, wikipedia and metal-observer, you are wrong.

Meh, I feel like their subject matter(death,loss,sorrow) leans more towards the doom metal genre than melodic death and wikipedia says that they are a melodic death metal band with doom metal influences but I'll leave it at that. I guess I just wanted to agrue after Necuratul stupidly suggested that five bands recognized as death/thrash were, in fact, not death or thrash.

Just wondering, is Draconian considered doom?
Also which album should I start off with for Saint Vitus?

Draconian is most certinely doom. They play Gothic (use of clean female singing) / Doom metal. Doom metal is allowed to have dirty vocals without being considered death/doom. Draconian have the dark atmosphere, the dreary subject matter, the slower instrumentation, they play Doom. Subterranea, Wikipedia, Archives and other sources lists this.

The only band you mentioned that was even worth mentioning was Deathchain, and they're ridiculously fucking mediocre. And the thread was "thrashy death metal," not "death/thrash metal," and none of the bands you mentioned were death metal with thrashy elements, but rather the opposite if not even further off the mark.
But good job being wrong and then being a dumbass about it on top of all that.

What's the difference between saying a band plays "thrash/death metal" and "thrashy death metal?" A Y instead of a slash? You, sir, are beyond stupid.

Could you explain, in words, the difference between the two styles? My guess for 'thrashy death' would be that the music is like thrash but the vox are death?
There's still so much I need to learn about metal, it's absolutely ridiculous.

Recently heard Lycanthia, another Australian band, they are ok, the vocals are nice, production is frustrating though, they have potential but they will most likely land up in the copy-cats bin when compared to Sirenia, Tristesse, Trail of Tears etc.
Oh and on that note, people give Trail of Tears too much shit, they are a pretty decent band. There is no question they fall into the gothic/doom metal category, with the now so common contrasting death growls/female vocalists pioneered by acts such as Theatre of Tragedy. However where Trail of Tears have their edge is the female vocals in recent times are only rarely ever done in a soprano, they land more in the tenor range, which gives the music a much more melancholic and less fantastastical air. They also put shit loads of black metal influence into most of what they do, they are certainly not another clone.

This is also worth your time, http://home.ural.ru/~autumn/maine.htm
A Russian goth/doom band called Autumn, they are not bad at all, just not the most metal band out there.

Can anyone recommend some good bands heavily influenced by Katatonia? I already am familiar with Daylight Dies, Forgotten Tomb, Rapture, Process of Guilt, Nocturnal Depression, Saturnus, October Tide, etc.
