I need some new music

[Goober]

Are there any good melodic death metal bands aside from Opeth, Necrophagist, or children of bodom? (yeah i know, they arent death)

 

[Goober]

dont we all

 

[Arnold Layne]

In flames used to be good melodic death

.

as did soilwork, and arch enemy.

goober, check out old material from those 3 bands out if you haven't already.

 

[Goober]

Yeah ive heard some from arch enemy, theyre pretty good. I'll be sure to check out the rest too

 

[NFU]

Eucharist.

 

[Du sollst dich töten]

Garden of Shadows, Dissection, Gardenian, Ebony Tears, Extol, Hollenthon (not strictly "melodic death" but then again, few of these bands are...), Sacrilege, and others. My brain isn't working too well.

 

[seigman]

The Brave Murder Dayrecord from Katatonia can be categorized as melodic death metal, am I right? I know it's quite doomy, but still. Never the less, it's great record, check it out.

 

[Heavenscent]

Dissection is Black...
Hypocrisy? Death? Old Arch Enemy definitely.

 

[AlexGuinness]

At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
Dark Tranquillity - The Gallery.

Essential genre-defining listening.

Oh yeah, if I acknowledge the rest of the world as well, there was a band called Death...

 

[Du sollst dich töten]

Dissection is Black...

6 of one, half a dozen of the other. "Maha Kali" has very very little to do with black metal, musically, and the older albums were a hybrid.

 

[Arnold Layne]

Eucharist.

Being a person who plays Euchre?

 

[George]

Dissection is Black...

Actually the correct genre is Anti-Cosmic Metal Of Death. And also someone suggested Sacrilege, which is a great choice.

 

[Dark Thane]

I picked up Isa by Enslaved this weekend, my favorite album so far this year, a perfect mix of prog and black metal, i think they have the title track Isa for download, check it out.

 

[spigot]

Yeah... definitely check out Enslaved's Below the Lights and download the track Lunar Force from Isa(which ought to be enough songs from that album).

 

[Heavenscent]

Actually the correct genre is Anti-Cosmic Metal Of Death.

Dude, that's what it say on the shirts. It sounds black enough to me; all that satan bullshit 'n stuff. Oh no, black metal is a constant wave of FUCKING annoying blastbeats and as little melody as possible....maybe a bit of a hybrid, but christ, it needs a name.

 

[Guthrum]

Intestine Baalism

 

[Commence Destruction]

Dies Irae - The Mexico band,they released 2 albums,Etherial and Naive, it strikes me as melodic death with atmospheric touches.

hmm there's also a Devil Doll album of the same name, and a Bathory song of the same name...interesting.
