Melodic Black Metal

[Tranquillian]

I have a sudden craving for some melodic black metal that I've never heard before.

My references for what I would consider melodic black metal would be bands like:

Dissection
Dawn
Sacramentum
Dark Fortress
Unanimated
Lord Belial
Mgla
Taake
Drudkh

Thanks, I did a search but couldn't find that thread.

I already know of
Artefact, Ancient Rites, Arcturus and Windir and like them all so I'll check the other bands out.

Batalha Ritual by Miasthenia is the best Melodic Black Metal I've heard in ages

Thyestean Feast. Kinda Windirish with decent production and I doubt many/anyone has heard them.

Hadn't heard these guys before, they sound pretty good (what I just heard reminded me kinda of the new Stormblast - fo, I like it), thanks. Hopefully the majority of the songs are a bit less cheesey than what I'm listening to right now but meh, be alrate for drinking.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Sorhin
Decameron
Cardinal Sin
Algaion
The Moaning

 

[MasterOLightning]

Leviathan - The Blind Wound

 

[RedinTheSky]

Summoning

 

[MasterOLightning]

Really?

 

[RedinTheSky]

Really?

Why not ?

 

[MasterOLightning]

Summoning is melodic in the base sense that all black metal is melodic, but it doesn't seem to fit with the kind of bands people are mentioning here, mostly.

Which would be like me not recommending Gorguts in a thread about tech death.

 

[challenge_everything]

No because Gorguts is tech death while Summoning is not melodic BM.

 

[Janga666]

Woods of Ypres

 

[Avigrus]

Astriaal
