Here is my long list of Melodic Death Metal bands that I’m a fan of. I’m sure there will be lots and lots of debates on whether or not some of these bands actually fall under the genre of “Melodic Death Metal”, but I consider all of them to atleast be Melodeath-influenced in someway, and lot of them are kind of bridged between different genres other than Melodeath, so next to certain bands I put what other genre you might categorize them in.

[guy in latvia]

wow, i hadnt realised melodic DEATH metal had become such a vast genre? Most of the stuff i see listed here (other than the obvious choices) is black metal/prog metal/gothic stuff. its supposed to be death metal with melody, isnt it?

Well if thats the case, check out these bands, if you dig em, say it and I will post more.

Edge of Sanity (pure traditional swedish awesomeness)
Vehemence (best melodeath to come out of the US)
Enforsaken (something between american and swedish sounding melodeath)
Nile (kick ass egyptian stuff)
Carcass (heartwork album is one of the pioneers of melodeath)

[poopyalligator]

I dont think anybody has mentioned these guys yet. Their older stuff is better, but I dig this song a lot.



EDIT: Looks like somebody did mention them. I agree with you also lol.

[LRHTMetalhead]

Some of you need a bit of Archons, Intestine Baalism and Inferi!

[USMarine75]

Some more just to bump the thread...

Tracedawn



Before the Dawn

(this song has the opposite structure... clean verses and cookie chorus)

Becoming the Archetype


(Never quite sure what genre is what... lot of crossovers too...)

[oldbulllee]

back in the days, when i was in the melo period, there was a band called Ebony Tears. i liked it quite a lot.
can't remember the album title, nor do i know what happened to them, as i got tired of it. maybe someone here should give it a listen. there is probably some on youtube.
edit: wiki, of course.... tortura insomniae is the album title. apparently they released 2 more, but i have not heard them.

[USMarine75]

^ Thanks I'll give it a listen tonight!

Always good to learn about new bands. I just found Tracedawn and Before the Dawn a couple days ago...

I'm happy to see Disillusion got mentioned already, so I'll jump right into the shameless selfpromotion.

My band Uncreation released our debut album "Burning Blood" in January 2011. It was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö and is currently available as digital download on iTunes and Amazon.

Check it out if you like!

Yeah, I'm the guy who's first answer in any kind of "recommend music" thread is Disillusion. "Back To Times of Splendor" is quite literally my favorite album ever.

I'll be honest, a lot of the stuff I've heard so far in this thread, I would be more inclined to classify as metalcore rather than melodeath.

[regodus]

Check out Exploding Horse...its my band im not spamming but just promoting haha. But it qualifies as many styles of death metal. The album is FREE so put it on your IPOD!

Here is the full album...Featuring PETER WICHERS of SOILWORK and DUSTY WARING of BETWEEN THE BURIED AN ME.

This is an awesome thread...I must say that "Pandora" the app I have downloaded on my IPhone is one Hell of a useful tool when trying to find new and different artists similar to what I already listen to. I have heard the name of this band before but never took the time to listen to them...anyway listening to Pandora this band called "Impending Doom" popped up with the song "More than Conquerors". This song is brutal and nicely done.
Here is the YouTube link:

Not enough mention of Insomnium. One of my favourites

This is about as "Mellow" Death as it gets...and I do mean that in a very good way.

[morrowcosom]

Suidakra (A bit of folk influence)



For the harder style:
Dissection (thrashy and black, still melodic, but dark)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26GyKRXVJD4

Note: The song above is not mellow, just showing a more aggressive side of melodeath

Kalmah all tha waaaaay!!!!
