Melodic death Metal

[chuj666]

No doubt at all my friend. i just consider them Melodic Death and not Melodeath. i said kalmah was my favorite Melodeath.

Isn't melodeath and melodic death metal the same thing?

no it is not.
go back to the last page where he explains it. melodeath is the harsh power metal type stuff.

Thanks...that's what I was confused about because In Flames isn't a Melodic Death-metal band, they used to be but just like Metallica isn't a thrash band anymore..both evolved into something different, for example In Flames new cd has nothing to do with death-metal except for Melodies, everyone will probably say why put in a band in a specific genre..for me it's simple if you talk to anybody that's new to metal they will say In Flames is melodeath an they are wrong...In Flames is more metalcorish and alternative yet they made still have a trace of melodic DM..but it's only a trickle

They're not metalcore either though. But yeah.

Melodic alternative metal

Yeah, actually. Good call. That's the best name I've seen for this new genre.

I would say that In Flames, Soilwork, Scar Symmetry, etc now fall into that.

I never considered Kalmah to be melodeath. I consider them extreme power metal

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

They're melodeath iirc.

edit: Moreso than COB anyway

Could you explain the difference between melodic death metal and melodeath again? I've always interchanged the terms

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I did on the page before ffs.

We should have some sort of Metalwiki thread.

Most sites I go to make that same distinction, and it makes fucken sense too.

There is no way anyone can lump Amorphis and In Flames into the same genre.

Melodeath is a blatantly misleading term but is used purely due to its overwhelmingly familiarity and association with the music that the term designates (e.g. Children Of Bodom, In Flames, Norther, et al).

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

IMO melodeath is a blatantly sarcastic name.

I found this old band Gates of Ishtar...Great Melodic Deathmetal

 

[chuj666]

also Noumena is a good band with melodic riffs and classic death-metal growling

Their first record, Swamplord, is fucking awesome, and a good place to start. The Black Waltz is my favorite, but all their albums are pretty solid.

swampsong, not swamplord, is the best by far.
