Melodic death Metal

[Sven Pakkanen]

By the way this is a new account, not saying what my account used to be, so excuse the post numbers.

Mercenary is clearly power/melodic death metal.

 

[Sven Pakkanen]

Hmmmm, that I can accept, but not Progressive Death Metal.

 

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

I don't think they're progressive...they have long songs sometimes but the arrangements aren't progressive...just long. Lost Reality, for instance, is an AWESOME, emotional and epic fucking song, but the arrangement is pretty typical.

 

[Sven Pakkanen]

Im listening to that song as we speak, spooky. . . But yes you are exactly right, thank you for developing a better argument for me to use next time!

In Flames Lunar strain, jester race, whoracle and colony are the best albums of In Flames IMO but Come clarity and the new one doesn't do it for me, as for Dark Tranquillity I like all their albums of course At the gates is one of the true pioneer bands in melodic death metal

 

[~Derek~]

I like In Flames, Arch Enemy, and Carcass, but I've yet to get any melodic death metal albums yet.

Does Dethklok count as MDM?? I think so. That's really the only band I listen to that counts as MD. Besides Lykathea Aflame.

^Metal Archives says Dethklok is Melodic Death Metal.

I consider it shock rock or comedy rock more than MDM.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I consider it to be fucking shit and anyone who actually likes it should be pushed in front of an on-coming train.

More people should listen to Embracing's I Bear the Burden of Time. The best Melodic Death Metal you've never heard of.

 

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

I still need that yeah.

 

[Deicidal]

Is it really that good?

This except that thunderhorse was really fun once.

So lately I'm thinking Dark Tranquility's Fiction is pretty overrated. Good album, but I see shitloads of praise for it - way more than for The Gallery - and I don't understand.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah that embracing record's quality iirc

Not a fan of Clayman?

Ive somehow gone and lost my copy of that but luckily I ripped it one here soc an still listen till I get round to re buying it.

 

[no country for old wainds]

clayman more like gayman

 

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

ouch

 

[Einherjar86]

Clayman is a great record. Don't be swayed by what the Echelon of the Elite tell you. Sometimes bullshit masquerades as chocolate.
