Hello General Metal Forum! I first thought to bump the other melodic death metal thread, but that thread hasn't been posted in for 2 years, so I thought it would be acceptable to make a new one. Apologies if I am wrong, and please delete this thread if I am incorrect
Just making a general thread here about Melodic Death Metal. Weirdly enough, I discovered this genre through Babymetal, a band that isnt even melodeath but had made a melodeath style song in their album, this lead me to looking at other melodic death bands which then lead me to the ever-lasting awesomeness of Slaughter of the Soul, which pretty much sold me to dive deep into the melodeath genre. I tend to enjoy both the aggressive and the power metalish sides of melodeath, but lean to the thrashy side more. Acoustic elements and clean singing done well in the right places are a great plus for me, and I have a distate for melodeath that's played too slow besides a few outliers (e.g. Insomnium)
The artists I enjoy listening to are:
Amon Amarth
Anterior
Arch Enemy
Arghoslent
At the Gates
Brother Von Doom
Carcass
Children of Bodom
Disarmonia Mundi
Gates of Ishtar
Harasai
In Flames
Kalmah
Light This City
Mors Principium Est
Nekrogoblikon
Skyfire
Soilwork
The Haunted
Woe of Tyrants
Feel free to talk about any of your melodeath experiences!
