Looking for some good Melodic Death metal bands

[Goober]

some people consider melodic Death metal to be pussy stuff, and i know, but i have a thing for melodic stuff. The current melodic DM bands i know of already are:

Opeth
necrophagist(not really melodic DM, but they have some melodic moments)
Eucharist
edge of sanity
CoB
Bloodbath
In Flames (i wouldnt really consider them death metal at all, but i know if i didnt put their name down, someone would suggest them)

Sorry if there are enough "Give me some good music" threads, but im pretty desperate to find some new bands.

 

[vampyrouss]

Fleshgrind and Pig Destroyer...


...Maybe not

I suggest Insomnium and Sternenstaub

 

[Lost_Orchid]

Amon Amarth, At The Gates (specifically the album 'Slaughter of the Soul'), and Carcass (specifically the album 'Heartwork'). That is all I can think of at the moment...

 

[steel102]

dark tranquillity, in flames, and at the gate are hte most popular bands of this genre

 

[Tumn]

Bloodbath isn't melodic death metal.

Newer Hypocrisy is more melodic.

 

[Goober]

Bloodbath isn't melodic death metal.

well melody is a big part of their sound.

 

[AbsentFriend]

Amorphis, although not really Death Metal anymore, but their new album Eclipse is really good (partly grunted). They have some great albums!

Soilwork! In Flames type stuff. Really good I think.

At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul is SUPERB!

 

[god dethroned]

enforsaken

 

[Maggot9]

Amon Amarth, At the Gates.

 

[benighted]

in flames - colony
dark tranquillity - the gallery
soilwork - a predator's portrait

 

[Kenneth R.]

Orphaned Land.

 

[Illnath]

I'm a very big fan of that genre


The Wake.
Blind Stare.
Aurora.
Compos Mentis.
Scar Symmetry.
Omnium Gatherum.
The Duskfall.
Solar Dawn.
Dimension Zero.
Callenish Circle.
Eternal Lies.
Mors principium Est.
Nightrage.

 

[BastardSonOfGod]

well melody is a big part of their sound.

WTF!?!?!?... Bloodbath isn't melodic!... WTF AGAIN!?!?!?...

And about the question... DARKANE !!!!... that's a nice band... and At The Gates & Dark Tranquillity of course

 

[Kenneth R.]

Omnium Gatherum.
Mors principium Est.

+1
+1

Of course get Dark Tranquillity & Amorphis. of course get every EoS CD if you haven't already.

 

[tynkkr]

Dark Lunacy. I recommend "Forget Me Not".
Vintersorg. I recommend "Cosmis Genesis". Not very "death metal" I guess, still a very good melodic album that's somewhat metal.

Siebenburgen might fit in here too, "Plagued be thy Angel" is my favorite of theirs.

 

[Rotten Flesh]

Nobody mentioned Slumber!!! So i do

And i wouldn't say Bloodbath is Melodic Death, it's just swedish Death, which is more melodic in general than the american/bay area/tech. wtf death metal.

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

Children of Bodom
Arch Enemy
Carcass
Wintersun

 

[Nostalgiaplatz]

rising moon, disarmonia mundi

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

o and LOL at Bloodbath being MELODIC Death

 

[daz436]

melodic death/doooooom/sludge/whatever

swallow the sun

i dont care if its not what you want this band is the next opeth.. fucking brilliant
