Another 10 Melodic Death Metal Bands

[dickheadnutsac]

in thy dreams reminded me ALOT of at the gates

[AstriatheGod]

Wheres?! Norther, COB, Kalmah Mors Principium est, Insomnium and Before the dawn?!

[SlowlyYouRot]

In Thy Dream's vocalist sounds like At the Gate's Vocalist. is that just me.

[JOshhOt4u]

go skyfire!!!

[pusenjekurca]

at the gates any1 ???

[theblackpacomurder]

In thy dreams!!!!!

[poliogue]

into eternity Death metal ? are you crazy ??

[FuckinLittleDreamer]

Are you kidding me wheres Archeon and Vader !

[cesareomillan]

you call this shit melodic death metal no fucking way

[Dzschelebo]

@cesareomillan I don't understand how Kalmah, Dark Tranquility, Insomnium, Nightrage, Skyfire, Enforsaken, Cipher System and DarkFlood aren't Melodic Death Metal. Why such a terribly thought-out insult? I'm not fond of some of these bands, but clearly by ear I can tell 8/10 are Melodeath.

[djitra666]

All Star Tech Death! Support

[theillusionist6677]

dark tranquility ftw

[Jasonater1]

Nice to see another Dark Flood fan.

And Into Eternity is the greatest metal band ever.

[FrostbornX]

Northern Europe..birthplace of metal....if you say anything else..Wikipedia that bitch!

Thanks for a good list, pretty common bands but very good such :)...New to Cipher System tho! gonna check em out

[WillFoShizzle]

@FrostbornX

Britain was the birthplace of metal. Sabbath? Not sure if you're including us in northern europe. Although Europe is fo deffo churning out the best metal at present.

[prometheus19799791]

to me it sounds like alot of thes bands draw influence from in flames. i thought scar symmetry was pretty neat though. they all have pretty good guitar work and in my opinion sound better than in flames(except the quiet place, only for the weak, clayman, swin, ordinary story, dead eternity, and lord hypnos.

[endoom]

idiot

[nightwhatchman]

Anyone else ever heard of a band called Dreamshade? They myspaced me, and I think they're pretty awesome.

[kalmah19090]

@nightwhatchman I think i have aren't they from Switzerland ?

[nightwhatchman]

@kalmah19090 Yeah.

[Uzi367]

[23manchita]

[ultrablue25]

[vikingsreturn]

[borninhel1]

GATES OF ISHTAR , GODS

[M3NT4LiTY]

Kalmah is the fukin best!!

[Noway0093]

all think alexi laiho is good? well truth is that he is played a lot but if he is good why he fail notes in lives? no one guitarist isnt good x)

[metalbone]

@Noway0093 we are humans we doing mistakes, and children of bodom are awesome live

[Noway0093]

@metalbone everybody do mistakes in drunk like alexi mostly and its my own opinion to say they suck

[metalbone]

well u dident saw em live thats first they doing fucking awesome work, beside there live performance are great

[666x666Slipknotx]

Hell yeah COB is a fucking great band but have not seen them live

[ciphersystem]

Pretty cool compilation, I like the nr 1 the most... ;-)

Keep on rawking..

[Doctorsolo94]

In Flames??

[666Mitchi]

theyre not melodeath, theyr death

[dodeaap11]

kalmah does owns

[AssaultDrummer]

Listen Everyone!!! Children of Bodom are NOT Melo-Death. They do not claim a genre. They are melodic, but not melodic death. Amon Amarth is Melodic Death!!!! Not Viking Metal!!!! In Flames is not as good as they use to be, but I still love them anyway. Nightrage, Cipher System, and In Thy Dreams FOR THE FUCKING WIN!!!!!! By the way. Not to piss anyone off but Alexi Laiho is a good guitarist but he is not that great. I think he sucks now. But I love it how no one gives the rest of the band credit

[kevinastoria]

@ AssaultDrummer:

Finally, someone who thinks alike! :D

Rock on ;)

[MuthaBreed]

i give the rest of the band credit and he doesn't suck lol, if Alexi sucked at guitar i dont think he owuld be in a band?

[AssaultDrummer]

What I mean is that his guitar playing skills are nothing to completely amazed by. There are many many guitarist that I think are better than him. But my response to your question is that I disagree. There are plenty of real suck-ass guitarist in bands. But I would not classify Alexi with that group though.

[MoosicDude]

@AssaultDrummer Alexi is one of the top guitarists in metal today..when he isn't drunk. Hes been asked to do the G3 tour before now with Steve Vai and when asked who he thought was the best guitarist in metal at the moment Kerry King said Alexi. I'm not massive Bodom fan, I only like a few songs but as a guitarist myself I have a massive amount of respect for his playing ability.

[Lordachius]

@AssaultDrummer Janne From CoB gets alot of credit, when i was on theyre concert  all i the front just kept yelling "JANNE" it was awsome (and he responded by doing a quick solo and waving his fist in the air :3

[AssaultDrummer]

See, where I live and from what I see, You never hear anything out of anyone else in the band. Everyone is so obsessed with Alexi. Just like everyone is obsessed with Dave Mustane from Megadeth. No gives the rest of the band credit. Micheal Amont, Gus G, Herman Lee ( not that I really like dragonforce), they are just a few examples of people that are given much more credit than the rest of the band. Like in my opinion, what makes Micheal Amont better than Chris?

[metalbone]

@AssaultDrummer Michael amot fucking amazing guitar player and im thinking comparing guitar players its an mistake cause every guitar player has his own style

[AssaultDrummer]

Dude, Im not saying that he is not a good guitarist. He is amazing, BUT I think Chris is the better of the two and he gets hardly no credit at all. Thats all I am saying. Do you see chris getting all these interviews in magazines and all these endorsements like michael does? No. Its just mainstream metal has its backfires and that is an example. Like you said every guitar player his his or her own style, but how can they judge who is superior without being bias?

[lannierj]

metaldrummer3211 : All are death metal melodic ! I agree with you :)

[metaldrummer3211]

Pretty good list. I'd add old In Flames, The Duskfall, Dimension Zero, The Absence, Noumena, Coram Lethe, and local bands Engraved, and Endtime Illusion. Check those motherfuckers out!

[dinosaurbacon]

these are some amazing bands!

WOW

thank YOUUUU!

[joshfukkinb]

gay

[wselak]

i use to buy all kinds of metal cds until i heard Kalmah. now i just listen to Kalmah

[meowmastr123]

kamah FTW!

[zuschlag123]

Kalmah is tha best

[COURAGORN]

kalmah fucking rules!!!!

[Chaaaos74]

N I G H T R A G E

[CrezPlays]

Enforsaken has some nice bass going. Seriously, these bands are ridiculous, thanks.

[jordizzle666]

I Love Dark Tranquillity, but there all good.

[ValuedCustomer86]

Why would JohnOneStyle want to suck cock in hell? He could just do it on earth, odd.

[bhere2pk]

@ValuedCustomer86 I think it was a figure of speech.

[JohnOneStyle]

its all shit all sounds the same all sings the same: IM SO EVIL I WANNA SUCK NIGGA COCKS IN HELL YEAAAH IM FROM USA...IM SO BADASS WuuhAAAAAAAAAHHAHHAHA BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA fuck off u gays

[ABRAsylum]

Since when is Germany in the US? You might want to look into a little geography buddy :D

[soadfanboy]

skyfires guitar player is the guitar player from axenstar and they rule! Oh and Kalamah rapes all the other bands on this list!

[MattKuhstossBYW]

i liked all of them. good vid.

[DrGewald]

thank you! found some awesome new stuff here!

[AssaultDrummer]

Wow!!! If At the Gates and In Flames had a bastard son, Cipher System would be the end result!

[GimmeMyGibson]

haha! i just like the idea of 2 differant male parents to one bastard son!

[Mr666Metal666]

In thy dreams reminds me of old school In flames

[StrongandSmart]

Wow ! Cipher System blow me away ! IM IN LOVE ! Hellyeah !

[prinja666]

I wouldn't really classify cipher system as melodic death. To me it's more under the hardcore genre like deathcore..

[c4l2lo]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAHH!!! this is insane good job man

[hesa1ego]

\m/

[mulchlord]

[almost386]

Scar symmetry all the way.

[Rheainstoun]

[DeathMetalDean]

You fag O_O

[easyedmonton]

Amon Amarth = love

[Nameless41000]

Amon Amarth is the best!!

[nickik21]

1. Kalmah (because EVERY Album is sick)

1.1. Amon Amarth

3. Wintersun

4. Dark Tranquillity

5. Mors Principum Est

6. Disarmonia Mundi

PS:

I have to check out some of the bands in your list.

[heavendissection]

Some great bands. But Dark Tranquillity is no. 1:) The Gallery, Mind's I, melodeath classics.

[jr9723]

Scar Symmetry are brilliant....though the entirety of this list is very good.

Naildown are a MDM band worthy of attention...try those guys out!

[BodomBeachBrett]

naildown is sick

also, if you were implying that i dont know what melodeath is think again, it is my favourite genre and i answered that first wuestion related to what it was, true death metal, i was thinking real, flat out death metal

do you also listen to Imperanon and Norther?

[jr9723]

Nah dude, you got it all mixed up haha, my responses were for beatch247's comments earlier, not yours. He said that this list was all black metal and screamo music, so they were directed at him. You obviously know your stuff. By the way I love Imperanon, and Norther are good to...melodeath

[jr9723]

Just to clarify, I was asking beatch247 what he thought true death metal was, so when you responded I thought it was him.....which is why I got defensive.....mixup, we are on the same page lol

[BodomBeachBrett]

ahh ic your are a good dude lol

have you also heard of Searing Meadow and Immortal Souls? if not id look em up GODS

I can recomend songs if you want

[jr9723]

I have heard of Immortal Souls, have their album actually....though searing meadow are new to me, I'll have to check em out

[BodomBeachBrett]

yea he was an idiot

big thumbs down from me, too band it doesnt go, "thumbs up", "thumbs down", "middle finger" haha

[Vesenvesenvesen]

where is Norther

[BodomBeachBrett]

KALMAH

[sk30l]

ARCH ENEMY number one.

[b03y]

SCAR SYMMETRY FTW

[dimebagjeff]

fuck yeea all good

[beatch247]

this is all black metal and screamo bullshit, not true fuckin death metal.

[BodomBeachBrett]

melodic death metal fool

this is no screamo or black metal BM = Mayhem, Immortal, Emperor

I dont know screamo bands but this is not

[jr9723]

Yeah true....melodic death metal is nothing like black metal or "screamo" music, which leaves me to ask, what is your idea of "true fuckin death metal"...

[BodomBeachBrett]

my idea of true fucking death metal is like Death, Bolt Thrower, Cannibal Corpse, Bloodbath, Aborted

that is, not to get into tech death and brutal death...

[jr9723]

That is indeed Death metal, but Melo Death never claimed to be that....and is a far more musical form of it. (Traditional Death metal being generally ridiculous, lacking melody and feel) I tend not to enjoy my metal brutal and senseless, ....Pioneers like In Flames and Dark Tranquility all belong to the Gothenburg Metal genre....can you call them bullshit Black metal and screamo?

[BodomBeachBrett]

i honestly have no idea weather you are agreeing with me or attacking me

but i know that, I listen to all forms of metal and am well aware of what they are, btw i love In Flames, seen them twice last year, I also love DT and Black Metal

[sexymanfrombigjapan]

enforsaken looks satanic

[andrejakes]

where da fuck's children of bodom best guitarrist in the world..

[TriviumSweden]

agree with you! where is Children of Bodom and where is Alexi Laiho?

[MelodicDeathMetalPL]

I think he posted this to make us know more bands, and who doesnt know COB

[warstein]

[Ingrindwecrust666]

[totenhosenfan08]

[ColonelKurzen]

Bist du dumm?

Hast du mal die beschriebung vom Video gelesen?

[MoryCory]

Look in the "More Info" on the top right. The bands are listed with the songs

[totenhosenfan08]

wie heißen die bands????

whats the name of the bands????

[gape008]

LOL

[SylIian]

lol'd

[ValuedCustomer86]

So I'll state it again, no such thing as Viking Metal, in the sense of genres. Well, at least not yet......

[7047533466]

well have u seen amon amarth im mean thats pretty much as viking as u can go

[ValuedCustomer86]

Okay, if for someone reason people want to find bands that specifically use viking themes, then I guess there could be such a thing as Viking Metal...but to say that it is a type of musical genre is wrong. Just think about it, there are power metal bands that use Vikings themes, is that Viking metal too? Like I stated earlier, genres are meant to find help find bands we enjoy, and we place them into a certain category based on sound and style, NOT LYRICAL CONTENT!!!

[gibsonfan3]

Into Eternity FTW!

[Eyecon666]

Amon Amarth = Viking Metal

[AntiEmo666Punker]

idiot there is a thing called viking metal.. >_>

[noobpota2]

Is this just a list of random melodic death metal bands or a top 10? If the later i have no idea why in flames (for the old stuff obviously) isn't here

[ZachTato]

Some of these bands are really good. But some really...reallyy....really. Suck.

[Skogsbrenner]

Hell yes Scar Symmetry

[moribundo13]

god

[tOkEeAzY]

Where is Soilwork?

[druidofdeath11]

Kalmah is my favorite, good song here

[xavene85]

Look guys ive been listening to metal since i was in the womb. If you enjoy it, who cares how you classify it?

[RobAudereEstFacere]

thank you, well said all this sub genre wank gets on my nerves.

[Dannyowns9718]

as i lay dying all the way

[ValuedCustomer86]

no.....

[ducati5758]

theyre metalcore. not melodic death metal

[xXXkieranXXx]

need some in flames there mad....and some children of bodom (though theyre not all melod death)

[ph1lsenBowfinger]

the most band are not really melodic .....

[zeppelin4730]

I'm going to get one of those devises that removes vocals from recordings and then download some death metal tunes.The music is verry good.Some real talent on guitar and drums.

[DejaVu0059]

IN FLAMES!!!!!!!

[Deathmetalking95]

where is wintersun and amon amarth?

[LoviPoda4u]

WINTERSUN?!?!? are u jokin!?!?!U want to say that band that have the only album at 2004 year, and nothing at last FIVE years must be at 10 best ?!?!? for what?!? for 2 songs?!?!

[ducati5758]

wow you must not have listened to the whole album. jari maenpaa is a fucking genius

[LoviPoda4u]

haha... this album is shit ok? just shit !! 1 song of Kalmah better then all this shit-album... and u know it

[RiverwindHM]

10 best? It says "Another melodic death metal bands"

[xXXkieranXXx]

amon amarth are viking metal

[Hokageoniichan]

amon amarth are death metal

[xXXkieranXXx]

no man there viking metal, but they got lots of death metal influences

[whitepearl00]

viking metal is death metal with viking lyrics

[xXXkieranXXx]

there for its viking metal with death metal influences

[whitepearl00]

Or death metal with viking influences??

[xXXkieranXXx]

what is this argument about? i dont know where the comment went, but there not death metal with viking influences, at all. there viking metal and thats that! seriously, they sound death, but there viking metal, and if they sound like death metal, then its death influences!

[Willthedisturbed1]

dude theres death metal, and theres also folk metal, some people such as yourself happen to call certain bands viking metal because they happen to sing about vikings. amon amarth is not viking metal. they are a melodic death metal band that happens to sing about vikings.

[shishiromura]

... if viking metal sings about vikings and amon amarth sounds like melodic death metal  and sing about vikings.... Viking metal?

[xXXkieranXXx]

k ive admitted i was wrong about that. there melod death metal with viking metal influences, but viking metal is real....end of argument yeah? its a good vid

[EndingEscence]

They are Viking Metal..they say it themselves..=/

[ValuedCustomer86]

If we labeled bands with that logic most MDM would be "Death" metal because they speak about death.... You dont classify bands by lyrics. They are catergorized by their sound and style. There's no such thing as "Viking Metal."

[DeDavison]

Your an idiot.. there are such thing as viking metal

[ValuedCustomer86]

that's a negative....

[forever6more]

There is going to be VIKING metal until you prove that there is no such thing as Viking, or that there is no such thing as Metal. Good luck ;)

[AssaultDrummer]

You are dummer than hell. Viking metal is a genre based off of Black metal style. Look up Bathory and Varg. Just because you sing about Vikings does not mean that they are Viking Metal. Amon Amarth is Melodic Death Metal. That would be like a Black Metal band saying they were a Death metal band just because they sing about mutilating things. But they have the sound of Black Metal. What you are saying makes no sense at all.

[RobAudereEstFacere]

viking metal lol, there is norse themes to their music but there is literally no such thing as viking metal.
