Favourite melodic death metal?

[Destroyer Of Orden]

Vehemence, Dark Tranquility

 

[Sinner Rider]

At the Gates, Hatesphere, Nightrage, Darkane, Old Mans Child(?), In Falmes, Amon Amarth. This sucks because I keep listing bands like Gates of Istar,and Old Mans Child who I don't think belong here. I would consider them Melodic Black Metal, which I perfer.

 

[AmirH]

Dark Tranquility, Arsis, edge of sanity(if it counts as melodic death), OLD In Flames(whoracle and before) At the Gates, Swano's Moontower(I think it fits this genre), and hypocrisy as well.

In Flames
Dark Tranquillity
Soilwork
At The Gates
Ceremonial Oath
Sacrilege
Dimension Zero
Nightrage
Nonexist
Withering Surface

there are many many more....

[Henrik Main]

Blood Red Throne and Vital Remains aren't melodic death metal.

 

[ffanatic]

Blood Red Throne and Vital Remains aren't melodic death metal.

They sure aren't.

Also, I don't think anyone's mentioned Into Eternity yet, so I will.

 

[Wanderingblade]

Most of them have been covered already by this thread, I'll just content myself with saying I really love DT - and its good to see someone else recognises the genius of Embraced.

Damn straight. Embraced are a hidden gem.
