I've had Black Winter Day and My Kantele in my head for weeks at a time. In fact, I can't remember how most of Amorphis's songs go, so I get parts stuck in my head a lot and I have to search through them all to find it. So them. Soilwork too.

Now I've got that middle melody from On Rich And Poor in my head.

 

[Yeah]

Arch Enemy, Gardenian, and In Flames. I'll tell you, as much as I wasn't really into Reroute to Remain for the first 20 listens, Cloud Connected was stuck in my head for a long time.

I can't belive no one mentioned the mighty BLIND GUARDIAN, who have surely penned some of the most catchy tunes ever!!

LOL. They put-out some of the most lame, uninspired riffs i've ever heard. The Amott brothers write boring-ass melodies.

I'd say Suffocation, Blood Red Throne, Soilwork, Morbid Angel and Broken Hope.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you there, some of the stuff on Wages of Sin is catchy as hell. Now their lyricism, that's a different story (oh well no one's perfect, they still own anyway).

As for riffs, Soilwork, Darkane, and Children of Bodom

Do they even have riffs?

 

[AlgaeScraper]

Porcupine Tree is definately catchy, Even Less will stick in your head for days.

[Cynical Bastard]

Black Sabbath
Megadeth

 

[Fallen]

MIDNIGHT MOSES!!!

HIPPIES FROM GEORGIA!!!

\m/>_<\m/

but use would have never heard of them be4
other than that:

Black Sabbath

 

[Windom Pearl]

Opeth. Surprise!

Also, without owning a single record and without even liking the band I still say Pantera.

 

[SculptedCold]

Ah well, all I know is that Wages Of Sin is the only metal album that's ever put me to sleep. And it's the only one that makes me sleepy every time I try to listen to it. I don't think that's a good sign.

 

[Dvoters]

New Bloodbath album has some MAADD catchy riffs.

\m/

 

[TheMoor]

Old In Flames (Especially "The Jester Race", catchiest album ever for me)

Amorphis ("Tales from the 1000 lakes" and "Elegy" extremely catchy too...i got the song "Relief" stuck in my head for months)

Sonata Arctica (Some of the catchiest stuff i heard!)

other worth to mention :
Blind Guardian, Nocturnal Rites, dark tranquillity, Children of Bodom, Eternal tears of Sorrow...etc.

Children of Bodom www.cobhc.com
Amorphis www.amorphis.net
Euphrosyne www.euphrosyne.net
Him www.heartagram.com

 

[Meuterei]

Amorphis, Hypocrisy (Especially in "A Coming Race"), ...and Oceans, Amon Amarth, Dimmu, Tristania, and of course, Opeth... all seem to have catchy riffs to me.
