Melodic death metal

I didn't really think PBP was that good, but Holographic Universe is flat out magical. The title track is mind-blowing.
I never considerd Soilwork to be an melodic death metal band, simple due to their alternative influences.

Steelbath, Chainheart, and Predator are the main ones.
NBC is cool.
I don't know how everyone keeps saying FNF is more nu metal than Stabbing, because Stabbing is probably their most fucking simplized guitar album I ever heard from them.
Sworn To A Great Divide >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>A Sense Of Purpose.

I've been jamming to Soilwork's earlier stuff recently... so superior to their new stuff it is unreal. They really sound bland nowadays in comparison to their older sound, what a shame. Steelbath Suicide is a hugely underrated album, despite being kind of an In Flames/ATG inspired ripoff of sorts.
You're completely wrong A Sense of Purpose is the best thing In Flames has released since Come Clarity

No man that's stupid, they're not a ripoff because they're melodeath. They definently have their own sound.
Steelbath is a great album though, it's what I started with for Soilwork.

Melodeath, I don't know what you guys think it actually means. (NOt talking about the Slipknot spam)
Anyway, worth checking out are CoB, Norther and Kalmah atleast.

ahh new cob is terrible imo
norther are ok, mirror of madness is killer album though
kalmah just flat out rule
SOME MELODETH FOR ALL YOU
Arghoslent, check out their new album 'hornets of the pogrom'
its amazing melodeth
Ripoff was probably too strong of a word... you can hear elements of ATG/In Flames in the work, you can tell they've taken influence from Slaughter of the Soul for sure, and maybe some of TJR/Whoracle. I don't think they established the 'soilwork' sound until Chainheart Machine. Awesome album regardless.
I wouldn't call Atgs agressive, and Soilwork agressive? joking right? when I think of agressive melodic death metal (but at same times melodic, beautiful) I think of Dark tranquillity's The gallery. Which is alot better than the overrated slaughter of the soul, or mediocre Steelbath suicide.
At The Gates - everything, although i'll agree Slaughter of the Soul was substantial under par (the mix on that album was superb though).
Amon Amarth - I don't really consider 'Viking Metal' to be a genre but more a thematic description, AA are melodic death and very damn good.
In Flames (obviously) - everything pre-Clayman although I don't mind Clayman itself
Insomnium - some riffs tread dangerously close to actually replaying Whoracle, but still an awesome band
Dark Tranq - pretty much enjoy all of it, although you can't go past the Gallery. Really like the Mind's I too
Kalmah - enjoy all their albums
The Haunted - Made Me Do It; probably more melodic thrash than straight melodic death, but I love this album
Soilwork - everything up to and including A Predator's Portrait
Dissection - straddles the boundary between melodic death and black metal, but Storm of the Light's Bane and Somberlain are two of the best metal albums ever made. Their post-prison stuff wasn't as good, but much more straight melodic death.
Strongly dislike what I have heard of Scar Symmetry, just sounds like B-grade pop music to me. Having said that, their latest album has an unbelievably good recording mix.
Lycanthia are also great! Love Aussie metal - but I am biased
werd.
funny to see you here though.
Yeah, Storm of the Light's Bane is definitely black metal but totally within the territory of melodic death metal fans. Great memorable melodic black metal.

Obey my dog!
I did Scar Symmetry, but I like Holographic Universe better...it's so fucking catchy!
