[letdomf]

Not the best song of soilwork

[olasoyyo12]

WTF is doing Sonic Syndicate here?

[bROLLY35]

sonyc sindicates is a emo band not melo death

[EverxOpeningxFlower]

great list for having Carcass in it

[PhillyphilKO]

hm... im pretty intrigued by Dark Tranquility and In Flames... can anyone suggest any good songs for me to listen to? :)

[EverxOpeningxFlower]

@PhillyphilKO For In flames, you must check out these songs:

*Artifacts of the black rain

*Colony

*In flames

*Jesterscript transfigured

*The jester race

*Worlds within the margin

*Zombie inc.

[ibtsv]

@PhillyphilKO Dark Tranquillity: The New Build, Lost to Apathy, Edenspring, The Mundane and the Magic, Fabric, The Wonders at Your Feet, Final Resistance. All of them are amazing though. Every single one of them.

[lappinsilver]

LMFAO!! AT THE SUBTITLES!

[itscarl0zyall1]

I agree In Flames is the #1 Molodic metal band ever.

[JaguarKinG95]

where is Kalmah, Noumena, dark zeroo????:D

[danthebibbleman]

this is SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than that  crap they play at warped tour

[guitarwailer7]

Dark Tranquility is fucking terrible. I saw them live and they were flatout awful.

[congazftw]

sonic syndicate ! best band in the world

[ztoplyricz]

@congazftw

Agree with you mate!

[barbaricfer]

WOW YEAH IN FLAMES ONLY FOR THE WEAK !!!!!!

KEEP GOING!!

[88lava88]

Into Eternity.While Timeless Winter is pretty melodic a lot of their stuff is more on the progressive side...amazing band nonetheless.One of the only good Canadian bands these days in my opinion.Lucky Finns and Swedes have all the damn good music over there...any stuff like Kalmah ever heard on the radio there?

[Mereaper666]

i wonder who would win in a fight, Johan Hegg or Chuch Norris ?????

[death666nemesis]

@Mereaper666 i guess johan hegg ... everyone who saw and heard him would've known the answer !!

[SuperClaudx]

[lokom123]

Carcass <3

[yetiraper]

imsomnium,dark tranquility,soilwork,in flames,naildown,seether,COD,do­minia, etc

all great bands not all same kind of metal...nerd

[1TheBlindLeader1]

No Kalmah, Equilibrium, Ensiferum, Wintersun, At The Gates?

Crap list imo.

[Exoking]

@1TheBlindLeader1  Of course, that's your opinion, but I don't like the Finnish sound. And I thought At The Gates were a bit overrated, but were I to redo the list now with my current tastes, At The Gates would deffinatly be on the list :)

[4321akordska9876]

@Exoking If you don't like the finnish sound, why do you like CoB ??

[Exoking]

@4321akordska9876 Not sure, I guess I feel that Bodom do it best :)

[lappinsilver]

@1TheBlindLeader1 I fucking agree with you, I don't listen to Equilibrium. But I fucking love those bands...

[soulkolektor]

dude i love the balloons on soilwork

[artemorbid]

Check out Waking Chaos

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

IN FLAMES #1

With their best song "Only For The Weak" !!

Awesome !!!

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

Dude are you serious??

"Sonic Syndicate" ??? Real Melodic Death Metal???

They are gay Emo Metalcore.

[GuitarDMP]

amon amarth is the best

[Eluveitie29000]

It's shameful :'( Dark Tranquillity should be the 1st ;(

[superchef78]

Stop leaning on the "band X should be on here/band X should be X #" crutch. It's been typified by now on just about every Internet (and Earthly) clime.

[JormaBaBa]

Out of these bands my top 10 would be: 10. Sonic Syndicate 9. Children of Bodom 8. Into Eternity 7. Soilwork 6. Arch Enemy 5. Amon Amarth 4. In Flames 3. Dark Tranquillity 2. The Haunted 1. Carcass Btw In Your Face is propably the worst melodeath song ever made IMO :D

[Synequanon]

Amon Amarth - viking/black I would say...

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@Synequanon

1. Amon Amarth is definitly not Black Metal !

2. There are no music genre who is called "Viking Metal" !

Just the lyrics and the image are "Viking".

In Flames also wrote 1994 about the burden and the human strain to the moon are they are also not called "Moon Metal".

...So Amon Amarth is definitly Melodic Death.

Melodic soloing guitar + Rhytim Guitar + Death Metal vocals = MelodicDeathMetal

[daplin1234]

arch enemy owns thm all

[DrSkrullotron]

....... ahahahahah your retarded lol

[DrSkrullotron]

carcass and amon amarth awesome!!!

ps, check my vid out its a bit more thrashy

[supertoxicman]

soilwork best ever....

[NorwegishGuys]

"Are You Dead Yet" is way better than "In Your Face".

IMO

[ThePussyDoc]

xD amon amarth

[mondaykillah]

"as if a viking would wear sunglasses"

"shut up"

lol

Yeah in flames!

freakin amon amarth (not really melo death)

sonic syndicate, dark tranquillity, arch enemy awesome list!

[balckfrost]

INto fucking eternity \m/ very good list

[Maxarcc]

Lolled at text balloons

[abdullah3497435]

[iliabashel]

[felixeduar666]

CARCASS!!!! Hey what happen with Lunarsea o Solerrain

[eusuntmoartea]

No Kalmah man...wtf!

[FCChelsea2010]

I've heard better...the top 3 only satisfying cause I listen to them 24/7

[Pileckij]

In flames is the best band of melodeath..

[zergrrr]

nahh, insomnium/ kalmah ftw

[Renagade1325]

Old in flames, dark tranq, insomnium

[Renagade1325]

Black Dahlia Murder fucking sucks. They claim to be melodeath, really they are metalcore death wannabes.

[flamingomite]

bdm fuckin kickass and they dont want to be fuckin mainstream so fuck off

[ImmortalCadaver]

You sir are oozing with idiocy.

[Renagade1325]

Sir? and yes black dalia muder fucking sucks

[dudebro45]

I can't believe you don't have The Black Dahlia Murder on here.... they're the best melodeath imo.

[hippiecondoms]

what song is that from sonic sydicate?

[Exoking]

6. Sonic Syndicate - Aftermath

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@Exoking

Sonic Synicate is never Melodic Death Metal !! Sonic Syndicate is a joke....... its gay emo pop music.

[nenemoxo1]

children of bodon in 1 place and sonic syndicate in 2 place yeah!!!!childreon of bodom

aaahh!!!!!!!!!(scream)fuck u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dallasstreets]

Isn't Divine Heresy Melodic Death Metal? Or are they just Death because they sound like Melodic Death to me but I read somewhere that it was Death and it's just confusing to me-of course in some songs they sound quite metalcore like but it lacks traditional metalcore formula

[Exoking]

Deathcore?

[dallasstreets]

No they definitely aren't deathcore; I listen to deathcore and they lack deathcore's unique sound if you get what I mean. There aren't many gutterals like in deathcore. Have you ever listened to them? If you haven't listen to Letter To Mother"and Monolithic Doomsday Devices

[Exoking]

I haven't listened to any of their new stuff. From what I remember of the first album, it was kind of thrashy Metalcore

[dallasstreets]

Their first stuff in my opinion sucked-I love their new album though-they got a new vocalist and he sounds more experienced than their last. His highs are orgasmic. Check out the song "Monolithic Doomsday Devices"-it's one of if not the best on their new CD

[superchef78]

Metalcore/Death Metal IMO.

[dallasstreets]

@superchef78 Ha thanks for the reply man-I've settled on metalcore-esque melodeath. They're too heavy/fast for metalcore IMO because the metalcore I listen to is mainly All That Remains, Five Finger Death Punch, As I Lay Dying, and Killswitch Engage-Divine Heresy is far from those. DH seems to be more similar to Arch Enemy than anyone else

[Kaazt2008]

Arch Enemy&Carcass

are the best

[reirseeslomasserio]

Jajajaja... It's great!

[eduardxwx]

nice video , the comments are so funny good job! :P

[StaticXmegafan]

amon amarth is viking metal(thats what they look like too)

LOVE sonic syndicate-waiting for someone to pt them in a list-only inhuman was the best album

love soilwork too!

love dark tranquility too!

love the other 3 too

[TheGibby13]

Im not that big of fans with metal bands with female singers, normal rock songs they are great but not metal, the band abnormality is a good example. I love COB and sonic syndicate's great, I didn't even know there wasa hot girl in the band, pretty good list

[Nargonius]

Very funny vid.. bravo :D

and i agree of all ..

okay.. not all..

2. Dark Tranquillity :)

[garylewis91]

hmm, the haunted are down on my itunes as thrash xD

[cazmaestro]

hell yeah, top 3 is awesome, but maybe COB should have swapped with arch enemy?

[Necroticdrums666]

Nice and comments kill me :D:D

[Scoztrix]

Arch Enemy and Sonic Syndicate;

Tap dat

(the women, so no smartass comments)

[metalacran]

What about Wintersun ? :D \m/

[deadman695]

FUCK YOUR COMMENTARY IS FUNNY

[clawz1990]

i think carcass should be number 1

[UCHILAhellfire]

1 In Flames

2 At the Gates

3 Children of Bodom

4 Dark Tranquillity

5 Amon Amarth

6 Norther

7 Ensiferum

[zora351]

ensiferum!?! wtf they are a folk/vicking metal band

[UCHILAhellfire]

so Amon Amarth is also viking metal

[UCHILAhellfire]

and ensiferum is melodisk death metal folk/vikinga Metal

[zora351]

viking*

[TLRedEagle]

1:IN Flames

2:Soilwork or Dark Tranquillity

3:At the Gates Sonic Syndicate

[il0v3b0ob5]

never really liked sonic syndicate but i cant help but noticing that chick is pretty hot

[Jarrak]

Sonic Syndicate should be shot by firing squad.

They're a disgrace to Metal, and NO respectful Metalhead would DARE wear any MCR faggotry.

If Amon Amarth saw that, they'd rip Sonic Shitdicate to shreds.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@Jarrak

I agree. Are the member of Sonic Syndicate seriously wear a My Chemical Romance shirt??? Damn thats soooo gay!!

And they are called "Melodic Death Metal"?...LOL!!!

Its faggoty Emocore.

[maddman131]

@Jarrak ahh dude its all on preference. do what you want, when you want. mature up a bit. but yeah personally i agree with you firing squad eats children.

[maddman131]

@Jarrak ok maby your right.... sounds like fucking techno to me. my bad

[XvkerberosvX93]

@Jarrak hey, sonic syndicate is good, well... was good, not so sure anymore

[Chaaaos74]

[karsyth]

hullo

[AussieScarface2]

It's good to know everyone here can use wikipedia and google!

[YurtYurtYurt]

Nuclear fusion occurs naturally in stars. Artificial fusion in human enterprises has also been achieved, although has not yet been completely controlled. Building upon the nuclear transmutation experiments of Ernest Rutherford done a few years earlier, fusion of light nuclei (hydrogen isotopes) was first observed by Mark Oliphant in 1932. The steps of the main cycle of nuclear fusion in stars were subsequently worked out by Hans Bethe throughout the remainder of that decade.

[FirstMetalHamster]

Amazing

[nicihicicsc]

good job man good joks

[YurtYurtYurt]

I know I should respect people's opinions and all, but you should be put to sleep for putting Sonic Syndicate above Amon Amarth, let alone Carcass.

[und3rgr0und666]

personally im more a fan of the ol' firing squad but suits yourself

[kumanderhipon]

Melodic death metal (also referred to as melodeath) is a subgenre of death metal which combines the melody of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) with the intensity of death metal. The genre is also known as Gothenburg metal, a reference to the city in Sweden where it originated. Originally the genre combined the harmony style and groove melodies of heavy metal with the harsh thrashing sound and vocals of death metal.

[kumanderhipon]

The creation of melodic death metal has often been credited to the band Carcass, specifically with the release of their album Heartwork in 1993. Finnish band Amorphis have also been credited with a similar title, with their release of Tales from the Thousand Lakes in 1994. The first bands to distinctly establish the genre however were three bands from Gothenburg, Sweden, who at the time, were all associated with one another: In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, and At the Gates.

[kalmahman48]

hey kalmah was 1993 and cob was 1991 and they are fucking awesome

[kumanderhipon]

nice top10 you've made, i really like into eternity, they're all awesome especially stu block. thats right

INTO ETERNITY is Melodic death / Progressive death metal..

THE HAUNTED - Melodic death / thrash / groove.

[InstigatorsDeadFlesh]

Sonic Emocate :D:D

[xxwtfs]

where's Norther?

[Xatalion]

IN FLAMES<3333

[hihoplayer]

I really like your 10 Favourite Melodic Death Metal Bands :D

well done , good video 5/5

[Tdogg454]

WHO GIVES A FUCK!!!!

[Moulify]

RIGHT! In flames is the only 1 :D And I laughted my ass of to this video lol xD

[Soilworkisbest]

funny vid

especially the speach bubbles^^

[SatanistHobo]

No way Arch Enemy is above CoB, DT, IF and AA.

Plus no Norther, wtf?

[juanpepejohns]

agree, norther is fucking great...!!

and dude, if you're going to include sonic syndicate add something from Eden Fire, that was something...

[darksaivor]

check out scar symmetry those guys rule

[Meestahem0]

amon amarth shud be higher i think and use death in fire its a kickass song

[andrejasw222]

sonic syndicate tha best

[Metallicafanl994]

i get the bodom sketch lol good one

[kropa668]

50 % of them are really good...CoB, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth....

[DZSCaptain]

Sonic Syndicate blows by the way. Dont even produce their own music, they're like a musical group. He even sounds like he is screaming TIMMAYYY TIMMMAYYYY in the Sonic Syndicate on this video.

[8NecroMassacre9]

Why isn't At the Gates on your top 10!??!

[WTFZOMGIMSOFCKDBBQ]

And Soilwork, Sonic Syndicate, dark tranquility, children of bodom "is okay but not that amazing", ALMOST YOUR ENTIRE LIST IS CONFORMIST SHIT!

[WTFZOMGIMSOFCKDBBQ]

Carcass should be number one you asshat!!!!! And amon amarth should be number 2!!!!

[H3xxl0RxXx]

I like your choice of bands, they all are really good!

But

They are not really "Death Metal" ^^

I know all these subgenres are shit but Death Metal is more like Cannibal Corpse, Kreator or Six Feet Under

Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity, Carcass and In Flames are named as "Melodic Death Metal" but I personally like "Melodic Metal" more, because they obviously have nothing to do with the Mainstream-DM

Amon Amarth is Viking Metal, CoB is jetzt "normal" Metal. And Sonic Syndicare is.. different ^^

[nickik21]

lol Kreator is Trash idiot

Amon Amarth is NOT Viking Metal lern it once and for all

viking lyrics NOT = viking metal band

CoB is not "normal" Metal its (Gay) MeloDeath. Sonic Syndicate is something between MeloDeath and MetalCore.

[H3xxl0RxXx]

lololol!

Clear that someone had to come up and insult again.. Kreator really is Thrash, that's right.. and?

Do you feel better calling me an idiot?

[MrprofeSSa101]

IN FLAMESSSS. i like Dead end and my sweet shadow

[CombatCliche]

FINALLY someone labels Sonic Syndicate by their proper genre

[pollosajdlas]

Amon Amarth is Viquing Metal!

LOL

[j2456h]

wintersun?

[E4rle]

in flames for life :)

[Zanninovich]

I find it ironic for Sonic Syndicate to have a MCR shirt on.

[BleedTheBlind]

Arch Enemy would certainly be my favourite MDM band. Perhaps followed by Mors Principium Est and Carcass. And if Slowmotion Apocalypse made a couple more albums of the quality of Obsidian. They would definitely be up there! I do like most of the groups mentioned in this video however!

[bakner3]

sosy 4 my fukjing life roland anax76z

[biospark11011]

Sonic Syndicate is the BEST MDM band to me, Soil is pretty sweet as well as Inflames

[nanach91]

the bassist

[jefroxslayer91]

who is that hot chick in that sonic syndicate picture?

[xeniel017]

she is karin axlesson bass member of the band

she's hot in this vid

check their vid enclave

melodic death metal song

[Exoking]

I chose the songs mainly based on my favourites. For instance, the Carcass song definatly isn't there most "Melodic Death Metal" sounding song, but I really liked it, so I put it in.

[Eturnal718]

1:02 that speech bubble is genius!!! didnt even see it coming but I laughed hard. I could totally picture Michael Amott saying that at that time. Its just funny to me because everybody in the picture is just chillin out and that speech bubble came out of nowhere. Great List!!! Personally my 3 favorite bands out of this list are Carcass, Arch Enemy and Dark Tranquility. The In Flames that I liked isnt there anymore...I liked them more on Whoracle...thats just my opinion!!! Great List!!!

[myuvalm]

the best of all of the bands that was in this list are:amon amarth!! dark tranquility!! children of bodom!! arch enemy!! and their songs....!

[TheShredDoctor]

arch enemy, carcass, in flames \m/

[INFLAMESMASTER08]

Only for the week is not Melodic Death Metal anymore its a thing between Gothenburg and Alternative....

[bmxarn]

gothenburg is a city in sweden u freakin idiot. it is regular fucking soft metal.

[INFLAMESMASTER08]

gothenburg-metal is also a metal style damn pussy -.- cO...its not "soft metal" its alternative metal nerd

[bmxarn]

it is a swedish fucking band from gothenburg, but here in sweden its called "göteborg". Göteborg metal? idiot!!! in flames is melodic death metal!!

[INFLAMESMASTER08]

omg they first made melodeath then gothenburg and thenalternative!!! so stfu pussy if you don't know anything about them

[Zanninovich]

You're both fuckin stupid. Melodic Death Metal was originally called Gothenburd Metal based on the city in sweden it was created in. Dumbasses. They're the same thing. The three Major Gothenburg/Melodeath are At The Gates, In Flames, and Soilwork. You might have diff opinions but they're the biggest ones. I even disagree with the soilwork part, but thats the way it is.
