For the melo death:
Eucharist - Mirrorworlds
Sacrilege - Lost in the Beauty You Slay (the other album is cool too, this one's a bit blacker but there's still a lota Dissection worship on the second)
Gates of Ishtar - I forget which is my favourite but all 3 are decent
Can't really think of much else asides the listenable albums by the big bands. Some of the bands that get a lot of hate like Amon Amarth and Soilwork had some good riffing in the past.
