Melodic Death Metal

[no country for old wainds]

The songs don't really go anywhere but it's nicely layered, certainly a fun listen.

Is the re-release of Necrophobic's "The Nocturnal Silence" any different from the original?

 

[Cynical]

Depends; there are two original versions. One has "Shadows of the Moon" for song 5, and the other has "Inborn Evil" for song 5. The re-issue has "Inborn Evil".

 

[J.]

Is the sound still the same? No remastered tracks or anything like that?

 

[Cynical]

To my knowledge, the sound is still the same.

 

[J.]

Cool. Thanks for the info.

As for the thread topic, an album that has not been mentioned is Armageddon's "Crossing the Rubicon". While it may be a little more melodic than most here like, it is quite a good listen.

 

[Profanity]

I've just ordered that album.

Unanimated - Ancient God of Evil is probably the best melodic death album I've ever heared

 

[Episteme]

I still need to get that album by Unanimated...but it really doesn't help when you don't have any money!

 

[Poison God Machine]

One of my favorite genres of music. I like the power metal style with death vocals, which is of course the Gothenburg style.

 

[Funeral Portrait]

One of my favorite genres of music. I like the power metal style with death vocals, which is of course the Gothenburg style.

[Poison God Machine]

Have u checked out Into Eternity?

No I haven't. Who / what do they sound like?

 

[RideForVengance]

Thanks, it'll be a while before im able to check out all these bands.


I'd say Death is pretty melodic... all that bullshit with specific sub-genres like "NO thats not brutal dm thats grindcore" is fairly retarted. I say melodic dm because its pretty unspecific, and im looking for good bands in general.

I think when you start out with death metal a lot of things sound like "noise." Even after I had been into death metal for a while, there were some albums I had that sounded that way to me. I was away from them for a while, listening to classical, jazz, prog, etc. and I came back recently and the "noise" came apart and I could hear what was going on and how great it was.

One of my first death metal albums was Vader - Litany. They have a pretty simple style, so I think it's good to get into.

For melo-death, I have to recommend 'Rusted Angel' by Darkane. I absolutely love that album. Listen to the title track, it will simply blow you away.

 

[RideForVengance]

alright, ill try and check them out...

right now im really liking Suidakra and Arsis

Thales from Finland is a good Melo-death band. www.thalesband.com

 

[AsModEe]

That band, Thales, is pretty good. Have you heard of a band named Diablo? They're from Finland too, but I never got the chance to hear them.

Amorphis-Tales from the thousand lakes and The Karelian Isthmus are must owns. As far as Melo-death goes...I have to say its the most played out metal sub-genre going today.
