I would also consider Crimson, Crimson II and Purgatory Afterglow by Edge Of Sanity essential releases in this genre.
Definitely. Anything Swano touches is amazing.

I'm seeing Soilwork in Mass on my birthday. Yeah, they're playing with Throwdown, but it's my birthday and I think Soilwork kicks ass. So, I'll be there.

These dots are, very unfortunately for me, not optional. It's a completely different letter without them, might as well spell the name Swane or Swani.

I've been saying this for a while but Compos Mentis http://www.composmentis.dk/ CD Gehenesis is really good, to me anyway. Also Fairytale Abuse http://www.myspace.com/fairytaleabuse CD The Spirit Tower is also very good.
DT ruled when I saw them open for NILE in ATL. Can't wait to see IF and COB at Gigantour! I love AE with Angela on vox! Their live DVD was killer!Hellyeah! In Flames have always been my favorite band in the world since 1998. Dark Tranquillity gave the best concert I have ever been to.
I've seen all these bands live a couple of times...
Dark Tranquillity (2004, twice in 2006)
In Flames (2000, 2002, 2006)
Arch Enemy (2003, 2006, 2007)
Holy Moses (2001)
Children Of Bodom (2001, 2006)
Soilwork (2003)
DT is best live IMO. They were all awesome except Soilwork. (couldn't hear Bjorn sing due to mic problems)
I've already purchased this year's Gigantour ticket, but haven't decided yet for Soilwork supporting Throwdown

Dark Tranquillity is one of my all-time favorite bands, Haven and Projector are my fav albums from them.
Arch Enemy, they've had their ups and downs but overall I think they are amazing, and no one can touch Michael Amott as far as melodic leads is concerned.
In Flames, loved them to death until Reroute to Remain, after that, well, the less said the better.
Children of Bodom, same deal as In flames, but up to Hatecrew Deathroll.
Some other old-time melo death bands that I listen to are Shadow(asian melo death fronted by a harsh-singing lady), Gardenian -Amazing 2nd and 3rd albums, Gandalf - great first album, ok second.
Some newer bands that employ melodic death, but add folk touches here and there(which I LOVE) - Ensiferum, Wintersun, Eleuveitie. Some people call these bands viking metal, which is cool, but the melodic death metal influence in these bands is very strong.
Here are some melodic death metal bands to check out.

I can only take this style of music so long before I get a headache or it all sounds the same.
I have a couple of Soilwork CDs that I kind of like. I saw In Flames live and they were okay. The audience was scary, though.
My favorite band of this genre is Dark Tranquillity. I have every one of their CDs and love them -- especially their last three (Damage Done, Character, and Fiction). To my ears, the "death" never overshadows the "melodic" when it comes to Dark Tranquillity. I think they would have made a worthy addition to the PPUSA line-up. If Amorphis qualifies, I think Dark Tranquillity does, too.
Overall, though, I'm not a fan of death metal vocals -- especially not when they're relentless. Occasionally interspersed with clean vocals, maybe. But an onslaught of death metal vocals turns me off.

FINAL SIGN
Pretty much all those bands you listed are among my faves in the genre...I also like Night In Gales...
Burnout
Faith Puppeteer
Considering the albums they'll likely draw their set list material from? Doubt it.

I really dig Dark Tranquillity's FICTION disc from 2007. Since I'm so new..I plan on checking much of their backcatalog this year.
