IIT we discuss how awesome In Flames used to be

No you can like whatever you want, there is no either/or. Just saying that as far as pioneering SMDM, I've always leaned more towards the Carcass style.
 
Yeah. I know who. I was trying to be divisive. You're supposed to get angry and rant in all capitals about what a tard I am for saying they suck.
Damn.
Lindberg didn't work for the Crown.

Haha, no...I think you've mistaken me for the kids who discovered ATG through bands like Devildriver. :p
 
Thread closed. Nothin' more to see here, folks.

Carcass had this bluesy style in their songs that I completely loved. For me that's melodic death metal, not twin Iron Maiden guitar solos.
 
I was responding to Karen, but that works.

I pretty much randomly discovered ATG, liked one song and bought With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness. Not as big a letdown as when I did a similar thing with Entombed, but I wasn't entertained for very long.

Which Entombed album was it? If it was anything other than Left Hand Path, which is motherfucking gold, that's your problem!
 
I did the aforementioned CDNOW/Amazon track listening with SOTS, and in the clips it sounded really cool. All I read were great reviews praising ATG for being the kings of melodic death metal, blah blah blah. I bought the cd, dug the first track Blinded By Fear, listened to a few more and liked what I heard enough to not throw the cd out the window, but that was about it. Then one day while taking a long road trip from Florida to Louisiana to see my parents I decided to listen to it all the way through. I was kinda disappointed.

I wanted to like it as much as everyone else did, but I just couldn't. It wasn't bad by any means...it was just...meh.
 
haha i played in an Entombed cover band, before that i didnt even knew em :rofl: ... we play our own songs now though
but i love Entombed now...

and for the opinion sake:
i love both Carcass and ATG, but still ATG<Carcass :kickass:
 
damnit reading this thread I got fucking Dismember or Amon Amarth stuck in my head, I'm not sure, but its a fucking badass riff and none of these bands make those anymore.
EDIT: its Dismember - Nenia
 
Probably a bit of city rivalry coming out there, no?

Yeah, since Stockholm has all the good classic bands like Dismember, Entombed, Grave (Visby I know but Stockholm style) while all the melody shit broke out down there and poisoned the metal scene ;) I'd have the same opinion if I lived in Gothenburg though, no retarded city patriotism going on :p
