Melodic Death

[Chinese Whispers]

Oh, whoever mentioned Insomnium, right on. Awesome band.

 

[batmura]

Insomnium is indeed melodic DM that doesn't suck. Above the Weeping World was actually the first album in like 10 years that drew me back into the genre...

 

[CF87]

Edge of Sanity
Centinex

CoB,Norther,Kalmah & Catamenia

All pretty awesome.

Not DM bands.

 

[grey knight]

Not DM bands.

This was about MELOdeath. >_>

 

[Hox]

MELOdeath or meloDEATH?
Or maybe melodeth!

MELOdeath or meloDEATH?
Or maybe melodeth!

How about Megadeth?

 

[Hox]

No, Slayer.

Ok^

Let's look at wikipedia;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norther
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Bodom
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalmah

Oh, Catamenia is melodic black...

[Godhead59]

The Absence, of course. Awesome, awesome band. Also, Insomnium and Amon Amarth.

Wikipedia is definitely the be-all end-all of metal genre discussions.

COB, Norther, and Kalmah are all cut from the same mold. Power metal with harsh vocals instead of annoying falsetto.

In Flames - Whoracle

My God how awesome this album is.

 

[Sad Madrigal]

^ Jester Race is better than that

 

[Words of Credence]

^
I thought that too at first but right now it's Whoracle on my No 1 position. It's kinda hard to decide though but I guess it's because it has IMO their best song EVAR (Jester script transfigured) with IMO the best melodies EVAR.

 

[To rid you disease]

^ Jester Race is better than that

imo is lunarstrain and colony better than jester race, never understood the hype around it (even though it slays).

[metal_wrath]

Forgot about Edge of Sanity

This thread is on the wrong track

 

[DHG]

Lykathea Aflame is real melodeath; thats right, MELODIES and DEATH METAL.

 

[Chinese Whispers]

This was about MELOdeath. >_>

At any rate, the death implies there are death metal influences and obviously bands like Norther and Children Of Bodom have next to none in that department.

Agree with Edge Of Sanity (at least the earlier stuff).

 

[Chinese Whispers]

Oh, Infernal Method, not that many have probably heard of them but they were all class.
