It really is amazing just how popular Skyfire has gotten in the last five-six years. Back in mid 2005 no-one knew them and only one of their songs was on youtube, I think it was Tranquillity's Maze. I wish they were more popular back when they had their old singer, I think he was better.
I like children of bodom but tell me 4 big good albuns like Skyfire have...
Mind Revolution,Esoteric, Spectral, Timeless Departure....Hatebreeder, Follow the reaper and...2 more? dont think so....But of course ill like children always :)
would this be melo metal? it sounds alot like powermetal to me. plus alot of powermetal playlists have this band pegged as powermetal. im getting confused.
@ghostman573 They are technically melodeth at the core, but they are extremely symphonic and melodic for their genre. So you could probably call them symphonic progressive melodeth if you wanted to be really accurate.
@aander2112 I must insist that Skyfire's sound is so remotely far away from death metal that it couldn't really be considered melodic death (see Amorphis, select Carcass, Kalmah etc.). This sound is much closer to a cross between black metal and symphonic; half of what people call melodeath isn't even close anyway, can't say I blame you..
Really? Only 30k views? What the hell is going on with this world? Everyone, tell people about this band because.... it's very fucking amazing and i know all of you agree, especially with their new album "Esoteric".... fuuuuuck, lol. Support these guys! You'll be rewarded with amazing music :D
@cobman93 What about wintersun? Amon Amarth? Ensiferum? Dark Tranquillity? In Flames (late 90's early 00's), there is so much great melodic death metal.
@Ghettomarquee that's bullshit, u should always spread around good music, just because a lot of people like a band doesn't make it bad. The music stays the same, if the band doesn't decide to change their style. The day stuff like this becomes mainstream will be the happiest day of my life.
Never heard of this band up until today. I have to say I'm VERY impressed. You have to dig so deep to find good metal these days, but when you finally find a keeper it feels so rewarding to the ears.
alot of the melo-death bands sound alike, because they are all playing the same general style. most of the time bands within the same genre sound similar.
I guess the vocals sound a LITTLE like bodom but im sure it wasnt intensional. these guys kick fuckin ass, and if you cant see that and just learn to listen instead of just constantly type then go. pretty easy
Yea, besides CoB isn't really an example anymore, I mean every time I've seen the wildchild live he was fucking drunk and missing a fret twice a minute or so lolz
he's calmed down alot ive seen them twice in the past year and none of them missed a beat. he did just break his shoulder ...again... so i can only imagine how his playing has suffered.
to be honest they are way better then COB but they are more in flames wannabes but who cares. they sound got and rock hard and thats all that mathers ^^ / Sweden ftw
Most of CoB's stuff is subpar to stuff in the melo-death genre anyway. Melo-death's been around long before CoB, and this band writes and plays it a lot better than CoB, too.
i partially agree depending on what bodom your talking about.. something wild - follow the reaper is just as good if not better then skyfire, but thats not saying skyfire isnt amazing and im def not saying bodom is the best but theyre far from sucking i guess is my main point...
Well, I do like some Bodom. Honestly, can't stand their new stuff. It's like Nu-Metal meets Melodeath. Nu-Melo-Death? But, yeah, Follow the Reaper is great, and I'm not sure what album it's from but I love Bed of Razors. It's my favorite song by them and probably one of my favorite melodeath songs.
Hm, I don't know. Simpler guitar parts, nu-metal-esque vocals. (More yelly, less growly/screamy, though I can see this being attributed to thrash instead of nu-metal). I haven't heard the newest album, but I could definitely say there was nu-metal influence in Are You Dead Yet. If you compare it to other versions of Melodeath. I would even go as far to say that said album was a bastardized version of their former self and melodeath in general.
Bodom has terrible lyrics. Fucking terrible. And his Alexei's vocals are terrible. Get a songwriter and a real front man, then I'll allow that comparison. Until then, it's an argument spoken of blind reverence, and little more
they re lyrics aren't terrible not great but not bad either, and alexis vocals on hate breeder and FTR were great, and just like to say alexi is a great front man hes a good guitar player and a good vocalist in one...
I agree with you on Bodom. And that's why Sinergy kicked so much more fucking ass! He doesn't sing for Sinergy, I believe it's his wife that does. I guess that's also why he doesn't play guitar like a noob in Sinergy, the way he does in CoB.
"COB wannabes"???? Probably the most retarded comment I've came across on youtube in a long time. If you had any idea about the melo-death genre you would know that many of these bands have a similar sound, no one is copying anyone! Skyfire, Norther, Kalmah all sound like COB but it doesnt mean they are trying to copy them. Its just the way the music in this genre sounds you fucking tit
