Melodic Death Metal

Recommend me something similar to early InFlames and Opeth.

At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul
Dark Tranquility - The Gallery

to change it up:

The Absence - Riders Of The Plague and From Your Grave

[InfantChaos]

at the gates
dark tranquility
amon amarth

and if your looking for good in flames, the jester race or clayman are their best albums.

Kalmah all the fucking way, dark lunacy, wintersun, catamenia, carcass, eternal tears of sorrow, infernal poetry, etc. it may not sound as you requested but is some of the best of melodeath for me.

 

[ohiogrinder]

Dismember - Like An Everflowing Stream > Wintersun + all that neoclassical death

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I fail to see how people think Wintersun is death metal.

 

[Life Sucks]

For Ruin

very overlooked and underrated melodic death metal with a slightly black metal-ish feel

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Good stuff. Very melodic for death metal (but I don't want to call it melodeath because that's not the case).

 

[waif]

I fail to see how people think Wintersun is death metal.

It really isn't. It's melodic extreme metal. But because there's no established genre for extreme metal with a lot of melody except for melodic death, people shove it in there. It's got more black metal to it...maybe melodic black metal? I feel like Wintersun doesn't really have the same characteristics as a lot of that stuff...it isn't particularly black metal.

 

[Life Sucks]

Wintersun are power metal/heavy metal with harsh vocals, like Children of Bodom, Kalmah, Skyfire, Norther, Stormlord, Brimstone, etc.

 

[v2kv]

I've been listening to Insomnium's Above The Weeping World a lot lately and it's awesome.

Recommend me something similar to early InFlames and Opeth.
