modern melodic deathmetal

[Orochi]

bands like cipher system, mors principium est, dark tranquillity and other melodeath bands with electronic elements have all ways been my fav. are there any other band suggestions you guys might have.

 

[The Ozzman]

Naildown
Enforsaken
later Illdisposed
Kalmah

 

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

Skyfire
Blood Stain Child
Raunchy (not melo-death but listen anyway)

 

[Einherjar86]

Insomnium
Eternal Tears of Sorrow
I second Kalmah

 

[Great_Cold_Death]

Insomnium, Noumena, Kalmah, Swallow the Sun (though that's rather a mix between Melodic Death Metal and Melodic Doom/Death)

 

[Stillness7]

Swallow the Sun and Insomnium seconded.
Also Garden of Shadows' one album is pretty good.

 

[The Ozzman]

I second Blood Stain Child. That band is awesome

 

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

Shade Empire is basically melo-death masquerading as black metal.

 

[Seditious]

I second both Eternal Tears of Sorrow and Kalmah


Dan Swanö - Moontower

 

[SatansSon]

Omnium Gatherum, Shadow, Suidakra, The Duskfall are some others that are worth checking out.

 

[Seditious]

The Duskfall suck

 

[The Antihero]

You might like Scar Symmetry and (later) Callenish Circle.

Scar Symmetry is kind of hard to describe because they're a mix of melodic death, black, industrial, prog, power, and any other style of metal thrown in a blender. But it works and is really cohesive. IMO their best (and coicidentally, their most accessible) album is "Pitch Black Progress". Their other 2 albums are very good as well but lose some of the heaviness.

Callenish Circle put out an album called "Pitch.Black.Effect" that sounds pretty similar to DT's character. Real thrashy with bleeps and bloops scattered throughout. Although it lacks the atmosphere.

Mercenary might be worth a shot.

^only if its 11 dreams, I wouldnt say Hours that Remain is very melodeathy(but very good) and their latest was definitely not worth the wait

edit- havent heard pre11 dreams material tho

 

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

Mercenary is awesome, and by Mercenary I mean their song "Lost Reality."
