Okay... 3 requests in one. Get your thinking on.

I'd like to recommend The Absence

Magnificent recs Lads.

Should keep me busy.

For Melodic Death, go with Dark Tranquillity

Swedeath has already been covered, so recs from me would simply be redundant.

Oopsies...

Melodic Death:
In Flames, Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy

you guys have got to be fucking kidding. those are really bad examples of melodic Swedish death metal. the entire Stockholm scene > Gothenburg

 

[False Joe]

You gonna recommend some from the Stockholm then?

 

[Slayed Necros]

You gonna recommend some from the Stockholm then?

Necrophobic
Entombed
Dismember
Unanimated
Carnage
Excruciate
Morpheus
Therion
Afflicted

 

[skeptik]

Early Dark Tranquillity is great and can be reasonably be argued to be Melodic Death Metal over Melodeath, though it's really in between.

 

[Skepticism]

oh, btw MalignParadigm, I found out a shit ton of those bands / albums in my list because of your past recs so I owe you a huge thanks.

 

[Slayed Necros]

No problem

 

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

Yeah I've owed that bastard way too many thanks in the past. Stop knowing just about everything about old-school death metal you motherfucker...

Soils Of Fate

Listening to their MySpace right now. It's some pretty cool shit. Homeboy sounds like a grizzly bear.

 

[False Joe]

Anyone know some UK-based web stores where I can get some Soils Of Fate?

Cheers.
