My new 15 favorite melodeath bands

[AmetdeathA]

your rating is horrible

[1stKimozabi]

You have Mercenary on your list. You now rule forever!!!

[ElectricGuitarManPL]

Great music, except 13#. The band on the image reminds me 30 seconds to mars... ;/

[BurakkuRokkuShuutax]

lol,i never heard that song from blood stain child,thanx.now i have something to hear for like hours

[11yearoldscene]

whats a good tech death\grindcore\melodeath bass setup

[MultiLolgasm]

look up 'mors principium est' you will not be dissapointed

[aligak4t7]

Be'lakor and Meadows End!

[yetiraper]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL NO INSOMNIUM??? WAKE UP LOL!

[FknmetalkiD]

@yetiraper i know! it's a shame.

[AyreonsDimension]

Very nice, I didn't know most of these bands. Thanks for the video, now I know some new amazing bands!

[George18798]

Kalmah and Amon Amarth!!!!

[vavra222]

Each and everyone reading this MUST try band called Be´lakor! Its fucking amazing.

[yetiraper]

Difference between pop(justin bieber you can feel targeted) and metal music :

Pop : i love that song, in an album you search for the good song!

Metal i love that album, in an album you search for the bad song!

[LiquidAsh666]

@yetiraper there is no bad song :P

[longboardguy]

I like that Disarmonia or whatever #10 never heard them but Im liking this song great list!!

[pennyslipknot87]

Skyfire, Disarmonia Mundi, Nightrage, In Flames, Soilwork...nice :). But there are much more :D

[cucharipala]

lol norther 1 omg

[oamLHeadBangerLmao]

I'm sorry... but when you think Norther is better than Kalmah, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, or any of these bands for that matter... and then not even have Scar Symmetry or Insomnium on the list... there's somethin' wrong with you dude.

[oamLHeadBangerLmao]

@oamLHeadBangerLmao of course... that is IMO, bc who am I to disregard someone's opinion? It's just that I don't find that they're very talented. Especially compared to DT and IF (<--- But that's my bias lol)

[alklan007]

and Insomnium? :/

[kerozen068]

No Insomnium ?

[Rempejgus]

At the gates is pretty cool

[092696800]

amon amarth is viking metal NOT melodeath haha

[alexeidig]

@092696800 you idiot of course its melodeath!!

[092696800]

@alexeidig yeah.... talking about idiots.... u should look 4 something called mirror

[alexeidig]

@092696800 and you buddy should lern..and then speak!!!

[myheartinflames96]

In Flames,Dark Tranquility and Soilwork are the best mostly on their early work.. (The jester Race,The Gallery, Steel Bath Suicide). just my opinion don t kill me!! :P

[A7Xbeastmode]

@myheartinflames96 my fave song from in flames is disconnected, DT is insanity's crescendo, soilwork something awesomei cant remember the name to so haha dont know what albums but those are my fave from them

[PANDO3]

excelents songs in your compilation

[Plaguebob]

Disarmonia mundi - Swallow the flames > a taste of collapse, just saying :)

[oldmananzai]

Blood Stain Child should be first!!

[Aaeternitade]

In my personal point of view...Amon Amarth should be on top of the list

[CFHyeahCOB]

Children Of Bodom?!? :O

[ItsAllChaos]

Eternal Tears of Sorrow?? I like them even better than Kalmah :D

[Infernalpotatoe]

I recommend you to hear Dawn Of Tears they really kick asses

[Khaizerful]

Kalmah THE FUCKING BEST, no other band is even close to their AMAZING RIFFS!!!

[punknmetal666]

IN FLAMES WE THRUST

[nyxoch]

SCAR SYMMETRY????????????

I think is one of the best melodeth bands. The first album sounds like soilwork...

But the 3. album was great (holographic universe). Of course the second one (pitch black progress) too.

[TheRockoteca]

Kalmah is the best ...

[DyCsaK]

@TheRockoteca agreed

[Mr666Viking666]

gooooooood theres amon amarth and in flames in =] though clayman is not in flames best song

[JL3Wind]

I can't believe it... NO WINTERSUN?????

[GrimConspiracy]

Hello metalheads.

Instead of a Metal rebellion i propose a new plan.

1. Don't bash other metal artists, we must unite! We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together

2. Watch more and more metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube vid list

If you like this idea, thumbs it up JUST so people can see it, and also spread it around if you like this idea

Lets show that metal kicks ass!

Copy this text in every Metalvideo you watch and we´re getting the power!

[Danizelverdugo]

@GrimConspiracy cool...I like it dude!!

[a13w1]

Norther win :)

[ZajebaniFucker]

Soilwork Pwns...Martyr is just best stuff i heard in last period

[mindfreeeeek]

@ZajebaniFucker Check out wintersun dawg

[Navayl]

where is ensiferum, insomnium and equilibrium???

[mindfreeeeek]

@Navayl And you forgot wintersun

[DoomMetalFan94]

In Kalmah I trust.

[Live2shred]

Blood stain child sucks dick and you missed:

1. Wintersun

2. Children of Bodom (pre Are you Dead yet)

3. Ensiferum (with Jari).

[mindfreeeeek]

@Live2shred I was thinking the exact same thing man, what the hell is melodeath without wintersun, C.O.B and Ensiferum? Jari is the KING of metal and always will be.

[AstriatheGod]

Norther 1st Yeah then it should be Mors principium est then kalmah

[Sazon90]

in flames we trust

[shadowtiger1994]

Check in flames - swim^^

[gothicpunk82]

Nice selection. Check out Eternal Tears of Sorrow (assuming someone didn't already suggest that).

[mindfreeeeek]

@gothicpunk82 and wintersun

[starfire1020]

Sigh at The japanese band attempt to look metal lol, at least they sound great.

[ChloemayxOx]

Melodic death metal FANS!

Support Australia's local metal scene and check out the band "Starforge" These guys are insane and deserve to be recognised!

youtube/starforgeofficial

myspace/starforge

Ps - Why is Mors Precipium Est not in this list?!

[DanishHammer]

The dude from Ensiferum and Norther (Singer) should be an elf in the new Hobbit movie.

My stupid you should comment:

Good list but needs some Illdisposed.

[gothicpunk82]

@DanishHammer Ensiferum should do the soundtrack.

[thedarkwarlord999]

@gothicpunk82 Agreed, mate.

[925metalhead]

he is missing children of bodom...

[TheShredDoctor]

don't you love it when people argue about personal opinion?

[SmashSpencer]

A list like this without Wintersun? ....what?

[cycoslayer69]

Amon amarth and kalmah are jizzable :D

[davgregu]

Well most of this bands have explored into different music styles but all of them do have somo realeses that features melodeath sound, I wold have included Wintersun and Insomiun but fuck it man its your list isn't it?

[stgbld94]

children of bodom is missing :S

[666razorback666]

[tva911]

amon amarth ??? that low??? what the fuck man pure viking for life!!!

[yetiraper]

blood stain child sucks chineseese diks

[Oberprogamer92]

Mors Principium Est = #1

[ople222]

You are all wrong!

Disarmonia Mundi is easily the best on the list.

Check out their song "Same Old Nails for a New Messiah"

[metalhead158622]

Amon-Amarth should be in the top 3

[hollowband]

Blood Stain Child is a joke. Where's WINTERSUN?

[Metalheadmalitia]

dude most of these bands arent melodeath, do some homework, you got death metal, viking metal, melodeath....soilwork is just softness...this list is awefull....kalmah should be near the top lol, thats one of the few melodeath bands

[megadethfans96]

guys...

check out Whispered... the new finnish melodeath... there are fucking awesome

[skychy]

MORS PRICIPIUM EST is a great fucking band you should have had them in your list!

[Majestyca]

[MortallicA91]

[TehNoobinShow]

Transvestites are not metal.

[loofens]

@TehNoobinShow there japs what the fuck do you guess?

[MrDustNBones]

arch enemy is #1 but their first 3 albums are the best, before angela joined

[fatfvck]

amon amarth is viking metal yeahhhh :)

[juippi94]

if the life sucks, listen kalmah

[TehRealToefte]

stfu kalmah is best even if life doesnt suck

[scottymcnaugle]

kickass list, at least 10 bands for me to check out now

[MrJedris]

Great

[UCHILAhellfire]

o btw what cds is the norther and the dark tranquillity song from?

[Knives213]

The Dark Tranquillity song is off the album Damage Done, I'm not sure about the one by Norther.

[WaveOfBabies]

finally someone has Into Eternity and Mercenary on their top!!

[LordOfDisturbed64]

yea

[mikeandbobule]

@DragonicGod someone think that AA is viking metal someone think treyˇre melodeath or just death. you cant calss it just so simply :)

[DragonicGod]

Amon Amarth is ANYTHING but melodeath. It's death metal, that happens to have a somewhat rhythmic guitar.

[UCHILAhellfire]

lol thats what melodeath is.. really amon amarth is real melodeth to me and most of the people as well out in the word

[TubeYouDVD]

Kalmah - Moon of my nights.

dont forget your codpiece

[dezael]

Amon Amart on 14 position??? inadmissible :O

[fluffyninjas]

is kalmah good? ive never heard of them

[BehindSpaceLS]

not good, amazing.

[mikeandbobule]

I absolutely love them

[cielu666]

Disarmonia mundi and Soilwork ROX!!!!

man if you like band like that music lock for Scar Symmetry, Solution .45, OOMPH!, atreyu, charon, Avenged sevenfold... you could like that

[eusuntmoartea]

Just got to fuckin love Kalmah, one of the fuckin' best

[zergrrr]

insomnium isnt on here =(, best melodeath of all time i think

[aqiles867]

EPIC list nice job.

[Gundoldingen]

Amon Amarth ist Death Metal... ;-) Not Melodic ;-)

[MarkusExplosion]

Too bad Petri got kicked out of Norther :(

[AstralJokers]

He actually left. lulz.

[Rage00Against]

@MarkusExplosion But he's going to be filling in on vocals for Equilibrium!! Until they find a new vocalist.

[hellspawn969]

FINALLY! someone who actually knows about Disarmonia Mundi!!!!

[coltthekiller1]

pretty good list but where is childeren of bodom

[MelodeathManiac]

i agree with disturbed, wheres the insomnium

[MelodeathManiac]

sweet

[ReapersShredder]

pretty good list,the song scathing is not bad but nightrage's new album is fucking better then a new disease is born

[Steelmaniak]

i know, scathing is actually a bad pick, but i had to do it quick.

wearing a martyrs crown is indeed alot better

[COURAGORN]

robert are you talking about kalmah or norther? you said the new cd (N) sucked

PD: hail kalmah!

[robert33182]

good video, except for kalmah i would their better songs, their new cd sucked (N) sry to say, as for bodom shoud also be there, but their new cd sucked... sadness since Bodom is the greatest band ever!

[MrDavedawg]

I think that is a brilliant list of bands but i would definitely add Eternal..., Sylosis, Anterior and Children of Bodom. You might argue if they are melodeth bands but i personally wouldn't count amon amarth a melodeth band so...

[ShadowWolf87]

All the bands mentioned in the comments are awesome, but people...these are his/her favorites, not yours. So, how about you all stfu with your "where the hell is..." comments, and go make your own damn video, christ....

[Zergan]

Where's Wintersun?!

Mors Principium Est?!

Eternal Tears of Sorrow?!

What The Fuck!

[Disturbed684]

no insomnium? :(

[omer246]

where the fuck's Eternal Tears Of Sorrow?! way better than Kalmah IMO

[kralnor25]

Insomnium's missing :O

[Steelmaniak]

yup indeed they are, but there's a video coming up very soon that is never going to be changed again and that will include insomnium

[Danizelverdugo]

@kralnor25 cob also......

[DepressTrigger]

Great collection! Thumbs up dude.

[garylewis91]

aye i agree with the comments

mors principum est and wintersun are worthy of a listen

[salomon291]

Kalmah=1

[MrKryptonX]

@salomon291 Kalmah, Children of Bodom, In Flames, At the Gates, Arch Enemy = Top 5 in any order

[MiniMetalQC]

i know much of those band and yes their good :P

[Gasgasm]

where the hell is bodom

[Deadshadow16]

awesome list man, you should hear wintersun!

[lannierj]

kyko666 : Just ride the title plz. Cob isn't melodic death metal I think. in flames rules !

[NaturalBornHippie1]

You should check out a band called Mors Principium Est. They are a great melodeath band in my opinion, they probably would have made it to your list if youve heard them.

[Steelmaniak]

i know alot of melodeath bands so i know mpe also ;),but this list is again pretty old right now and alot of changes would be made

[kyko666]

wtf !! where is children of bodom ??

in flames is no more melodeath....... their first 3 cd's are great but right now they suck's !!!

[Steelmaniak]

you hear a new song of in flames here??, cause yes they suck after clayman

[rogeracheron]

agreed

[megadethfans96]

no bodom here.......maybe course people just say bodom is metal

[16232162009]

i love norther

they are great

[kylene36]

there is 5 good bands on this list and 10 that are trash, amon amarth should be #1, i mean come on, a lot of this is just screaming bullshit, this is the best 15 you could think of? i guess it's your opinion not mine, but i guess i just don't like screamer music.

[Jasonthegaiface]

screamer for the win!! thrash and viking metal for the bin!!

[sk8core123]

dude theyre both fuckin great but blood stain child just some fucked up chinease dicks just like dragonforce and slipkock

[diediedie1992]

Soilwork,In Flames \m/

[StatiusMetal]

dragonforce classify themselves as extreme power metal, listen to warheart by bodom, and say...hmm clayman by in flames, both are classified as melodic death metal but they have very different sounds to them, it's not something to argue over genres get in the way music too much

[COURAGORN]

kalmah should be 1!!

[drumadude28]

@COURAGORN agree

[Batza1994]

15. IMPERANON ? NOOOOO the must be 1.-3.

[grimmenigma949]

great list but fuck in flames

[stalingrenhatten]

the singer for blood stain child looks like a japanese anders friden lol

[JeffMiller1984]

I love lists like this, great way to find new bands to listen to. I would've thrown Wintersun and Tracedawn as well.

[Steelmaniak]

i was actually going to make a new one very soon with alot of unknown ones, but ye still working on it ;)

[grimmenigma949]

you ever name sylosis

[Scyther36]

good list...

For better,add insomnium:P

[Soadevafan933212]

When I see a Melodeath metal band together I put em in 2 forms lol. Melodic Death (In Flames, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy) but then there is Melodic Death Power Metal (Children of Bodom, Wintersun, Blood Stained Child, Norther,Archeron) course I agree CoB is like Mainstream newbie metal haha....Wintersun is just WOW :D. I think they Call Melodeath Power (Extreme Power Metal now) NO not X-Treme Power like faggetforce lol...I really dont know I think Melodeath is gonna be the new thing ^^

[sk8core123]

CoBs new shit is shit

[Soadevafan933212]

Agreed....it all ended at Follow the Reaper lol

[sk8core123]

i think blooddrunk aint that bad and hate crew deathroll is also good but newer stuff suckz

[grimmenigma949]

you punk cob is melo death

[Soadevafan933212]

Extreme Power Metal my friend.....most people are aware of that.....Extreme Power Metal is a Fusion genre of Melodeath and Power Metal....get your facts straight my friend, thank you xD!

[grimmenigma949]

where does bodom come from wait where is lake bodom.... in finland

where did melo death come from ...finland

who is a good example of power metal ... kamelot

does bodom sound anything like kamelot ...no...

why, cause they are not power metal

but if you look for melodeath guess who your going to see children of fucking bodom

[Soadevafan933212]

Melodeath comes from Sweden so go get on the Fail train and go listen to your rap music maybe get that fpokemon or w/e off ur channel profile picture :P, Power Metal comes from Finland aswell what happens when you put Keyboards for epic atmosphere and neo-classical shred solos with Pretty much power metal structures with all power metal but vocals...u get Children of Bodom....i told you it was a Fusion of Melodeath and Power Metal....(Extreme Power Metal)...get ur facts straight XD

[grimmenigma949]

first off my pic is diablo you faggot. i mean honestly does a pokemon look that badass.

second black metal comes from sweden.

also just cause any band has a keyboard inn ti does not automatically place it in a genre.

[Soadevafan933212]

Get back on the fail train what you have is Dragonforce's Extreme Power Metal get your facts straight...also...NO Black Metal comes fron Norway....Melodeath started in Gothenburg Sweden..thats why Melodeath is called "the Gotherburg sound" GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT :P ! ^.^ Thank you have a nice day go play Pokemon xD

[grimmenigma949]

the definition of Extreme Power Metalis.....

extreme power metal is a form music spawned from the power metal genre. The key ideal behind it is the music is played at very high speeds and to make sound well has to be done with skill. extreme power metal bands often use keybords or keytars and the vocals are almost operatic, there is usually many solos within the songs which tend to be long songs. the concept of the style is to make the listener feel powerful and the songs are uplifting

[Soadevafan933212]

The harsh vocals and aggressive feel of melodic death metal and black metal mixed with the neo-classical guitar and keyboard melodies of power metal. It is often debated whether these bands can truly be called power metal as many see melodic singing as what most sets power metal apart from extreme metal. This genre is heavily based in Finland.

Examples: Children of Bodom, Wintersun, Kalmah , Mercenary

[Soadevafan933212]

Extreme Power Metal is wat i said it is...I am correct my friend

[grimmenigma949]

there are two definitions and thus cob is and isnt extreme power metal

it depends on what you define extreme power metal

[Soadevafan933212]

you are correct there is X-treme Power Metal (your definition Example: Dragonforce) and Extreme Power Metal...as in a fusion genre of Extreme Metal and Power Metal.....you can call it melodeath but it is what it is :P, everyone says it....nowadays when i hear people say Bodom is Melodeath they only know new Bodom....or don't know them at all....but from Metal veterens that know "all" their music we are aware of what Bodom truly is :P

[Soadevafan933212]

so thus we can conclude Bodom is NOT X-Treme Power Metal (your definition) but the other definition of Extreme Power xD

[grimmenigma949]

no i dont think they are cause of the way i define it

[Soadevafan933212]

Well Downfall by Bodom is a perfect Example I mean All elements fit but the vocals xD

[Bobowhazaar]

I like your list but no way that Norther is on number 1:P
