In Flames

[MrMajs]

Im really into In Flames right now but i want more melodic death bands to listen at. Do you know any good bands/albums???

 

[SymbolicDeath666]

Soilwork

 

[Nightmarez]

Hypocrisy would be a good choice. Maybe, The Fourth Dimension cd would strike your fancy.

 

[NAD]

Hypocrisy definitely. Go the Hypocrisy forum for tons of info, but I would recommend their self-titled for melodic death.

Dimmu Borgir and Bal-sagoth are other good choices, even Opeth would be good if you want something a bit more progressive.

 

[Bodylouseuk]

Dark Tranquility- any album

Enter my silence- remotecontrolled scythe

Callenish circle- ?????

 

[Wanderingblade]

Dark Tranquillity - Punish my Heaven, Hours passed in Exile, Haven, Hedon, Of Chaos and Eternal Night

At the Gates - The Swarm, Slaughter of the Soul, Need, Cold

Dissection (more blackish) - Where Dead Angels Lie, Night's Blood, The Somberlain

Eucharist - Dissolved

Arch Enemy - Ravenous

Embraced - Memento of Emotions, Putrefaction

Soilwork - Follow the Hollow

Eventide - The Silence of her fall

Amon Amarth - Death in Fire, Across the Rainbow Bridge, Last with Pagan Blood, Without Fear

Detonation - not that up on their present catalogue.

Thats a good start. Some of that is fairly obscure, but its all good.

 

[CONCLAVE OBSCURUM]

Gardenian, soilwork, arch enemy, at the gates, Opeth, eucharist, dimenzión zero, Sinergy, dark tranquility.... ALL OF THIS BANDS GO WITH THE SAME LINE, AND SOME OF THEM HAD SOME FORMER EXMEMBERS OF IN FLAMES

 

[Ormir]

At the Gates are one of the fathers of the Gothenburg sound, along with IF and Dark Tranquillity. I reccomend the albums "With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness" and "Slaughter of the Soul". Try out these songs:
-Blinded by Fear
-The Swarm
-Beyond Good and Evil

Dark Tranquillity are often compared to In Flames, and considered the premiere band in the Swedish melo-death scene today. The Gallery and Damage Done are probably the best bets if you want something akin to IF. Try out:
-Punish my Heaven
-Monochromatic Stains
-The Treason Wall

 

[Immortal Death]

I'd recommend Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy and Children of Bodom.

 

[DEEK]

how come no one has mentioned ENTOMBED???

also check out Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, and Gardenian. Hypocrisy is good, too, but don't have any albums from.

 

[genocide roach]

arch enemy, soilwork, children of bodom, at the gates, kalmah, susperia, nevermore, opeth
~gR~

 

[union9]

Infernal Method and Sakkuth. Australia's premiere Melodic Death Metal bands.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

in flames are not death metal
the definition of melodic death metal is of course "Slaughter Of The Soul" and Dark Tranquility's "The Minds I"
after that one DT started playing disco ...too bad.....

Probably because they aren't melodic death!!! I only have two albums of theirs, from the early 90s... have they changed?

 

[Death'N'Roll]

yes the last albums wasn´t like pure Deathmetal, it was rather a mixture between Deathmetal, Rock´n´Roll, little punkstuff and so on

 

[~UlvedaL~]

Arch Enemy
Children Of Bodom
Dimension Zero
Kalmah
Norther
Dark Traquillity
Soilwork
Autumn Leaves
Septic Flesh
Node
Callenish Circle

I dunno, I think entombed went downhill big time after clandestine (that are left hand path are their only good albums, for me personally; although those 2 are absolutely awesome \m/ )

Ever listened to those albums?

I'd like you to point out how the following tracks are disco...

The Sun fired Blanks
Freecard
Rundown
The Same
The Treason Wall
Final Resistance.

The others are hardly disco either... anyway, I digress. As I points out, after Mind's I DT do show an electronical edge to their music, but as you're fine with IF that won't bother you.

 

[Nocturnal Emperor]

anything by dark tranquility, soilwork especially the song millionflame, At the gates, heartwork era carcass.
