good melodic death metal bands

Hey dudes!

Here I like to present you our band, that is called Harasai! :headbang:
This summer we've recorded our first professional album, which was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö within the last months!
The album title is "The I-Conception" and we're searching for a good label to release it in early 2010.
Would be interesting for us to get some feedback here! :)

... the graphics are currently damaged. But we'll upload a complete new site next week with the long awaited first album teaser! The sound is KILLER! :)

Dan comments:
"Really catchy, Melodic Death Thrash played with the youthful energy this genre needs. A meltingpot of all that is metal. A must in every headbangers collection!"

Some songs:
Into Oblivion (Demo Version, 2008):

Except Me (Demo, 2008):

Spearhead Of Storms (live, January 2009):


Biography ...
Harasai is a five-piece metal act which embodies the creative symbiosis of melancholy, aggression and beautiful melodies since the rainy days of April `06. The first demo CDs (“My Lake of Terror”, 2006, and “Begotten”, 2007) helped the young band to achieve attention from fans and the media. Within a short time, the group evolved into one of the most appreciated newcomer acts of the German underground scene. Shows were played nearly every weekend, a newcomer contest had been won, and screaming crowds were left longing for more. In 2008, Harasai went to the studio again to record their first professional demo “Into Oblivion”, which has been downloaded over 2000 times via various internet portals. “Into Oblivion” helped the band to get a support slot for the Unholy Alliance Tour in the same year, where Harasai opened for Slayer, Trivium and Amon Amarth in Cologne. Following that, the band kept on playing live shows all over Germany and started to write, plan and organize their debut album which finally came to life in the summer of 2009. The band entered the CKB-Studios (Kreator, Japanische Kampfhörspiele) in the legendary Zeche Carl in Essen-Altenessen to record “The I-Conception“. The mix and mastering was done by no one less than Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath, Dissection, Opeth) in his Unisound-Studios in Örebro, Sweden. “The I-Conception” offers everything a metalhead loves: 45 minutes of fast-thrashing riffs, beautiful and thoughtful melodies, aggressive and variable vocals and a masterly performed production. Despite the numerous and clear influences of the musicians, Harasai have a very own sound which is recognizable even under 1000 other bands.
Anno 2009 Harasai consist of Martin Wittsieker (20) – Voice, Nico Becker (20) - Drums, Yannick Becker (16) - Guitars, Henrik Tschierschky (22) - Guitars and David Joris (19) - Bass, and they are ready to take on the world!

Noumena from Finland are really, really good.

Aeternam from Canada? Not exactly melodeath but I'm sure melodic death metal fans can appreciate what they do.
 
Hey, I think nobody has mentioned Callenish Circle. This was an awesome band, too bad they splitted.
And Withering Surface was a great MDM band, their last album "Force The Pace" is amazing.
Also, A Canorous Quintet and then This Ending are really good.

I really dig Deadlock, though I think they'd be considered more of a hybrid than straight melodic death.

Deadlock is sick. I would say they're Melodic Death Metal with influences from Industrial, Black Metal, and Metalcore. Speaking of Black Metal influence, doesn't their song "Losers' Ballet" remind you of Dimmu Borgir?
