The 10 Best Melodic Death Metal Intros

[headbangyoucunt]

no top comment.. (:

[Bear7o7]

there are many songs of CoB & InFlames with better intro

[AlexielDan]

InFlames a wuebo

[berssu]

In Flames - Dead Eternity intro is a beast.

[sdfdogjedi100]

no scar symmetry lol wut?????

[pmsn3674]

Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe... Why isn't it in the list?

[MetalSlab]

Could I suggest perhaps the intro to Death's 'Evil Dead'?.... It's only the most epic and timeless melodic death intro ever recorded.

[broke123]

AT THE GATES!

[joonsalchichon]

statutory ape, a shrine to madness

[lambofgod94]

@joonsalchichon i dont like statutory as much as i like everythingg went black and about shrine to madness... check the freakin release date of this video...

[lambofgod94]

Well it has been some time since I made this video (3 yrs to be precise) and I wanted to thank everybody for commenting this video in a constructive way :) 400 comments and 48910 views are definitely something I would have never thought I would reach and I owe it to everybody of you! Keep it Heavy! Atm I am a lil busy doing my other Stuff as musician (DJing/Producing atm, takes lots of time) but I hope i got time soon to offer you a new 2011 updated list of my favorites, which you can check out

[MrCaliGanja]

starts offf with of darkness spawned. def gonna watch.

[lambofgod94]

@MrCaliGanja HELL YEAH :D

[PerfectStranger776]

How could you make this video and not include a Scar Symmetry song? They define the genre.

[lambofgod94]

@PerfectStranger776 Because i am not the library of melodic death metal history ;) I know many bands playing in the melodic death metal genre but not all of em :) f.e. i didnt know scar symmetry :P And even if i knew it and didnt like it i wouldnt put it into my favorite top 10 list since its MINE and not an international proven one with scientists approving it :P

[FrankiethePirate813]

Children of Bodom are my Favorite Melo Death Band.. But u TOTALLY forgot Wintersun "Beyond the dark Sun" intro.. IMO that was a badass intro, but i would have problems choosing with bodom like every one of they're intro's are good

[drumgroovy]

Whoops I meant Artifacts Of The Black Rain

[drumgroovy]

Wow instead of older In Flames song like Moonshield, you decided to go with Dead Alone?

[lambofgod94]

@drumgroovy i like their older songs and i know that they have lots of nice intros in their old records but when i made this video i was heavily into their new record Soundtrack to your escape so i went with dead alone back then :) wont ever hate on their old stuff since i am listening to em since 1998 :P

[drumgroovy]

@lambofgod94 Fair enough... but even then, I think My Sweet Shadow has a better intro :P

[lambofgod94]

@drumgroovy You are right I really like this Intro too, but I had a pretty heavy crush on the heavyness of the Dead Alone intro (not because its very melodic compared to my sweet shadow) but because it made me bang my head pretty freakin hard :D

[Danyhate1]

HSB is METALCORE !! NO MELODIC DEATH METAL

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER IS DEATHCORE NO MELODIC DEATH METAL

IDIOT ¬¬!!

[Jakeyobzz]

@Danyhate1 Your the idiot if you think BDM are Deathcore, that's made me laugh.

[WeFightDragons]

@Danyhate1 HSB is Melodic Death Metal as well as Metalcore, Deathcore, and Thrash Metal. They mix all of it together and TBDM has Melodic Death Metal infliuences and shows it in some of there songs maybe you should do some research before you make yourself look like an idiot and dont bother arguing with me because I wont reply back because I dont want to embarrass you further

[lambofgod94]

@WeFightDragons thank you for pointing that out :)

[dropkicktheemokid01]

i think endzeit is pretty much on a lot of them it is pretty badass

[TheMimic1212]

is it just me or does the guy in the front look like jack black when the blakc dahlia murder plays?



[mrmori69]

u needa get some "sirens song" into ya by parkway drive. my fav intro right there.

[drumgroovy]

@mrmori69 Not really melodic death metal though...

[MrCosmicpandas]

CHILDREN OF BODOM SUCKS FUCK

[lambofgod94]

@MrCosmicpandas yeah well, opinions ;) atm i wouldnt have put em into the list anymore either

[hunglikeahorse120]

Dude imo you forgot I will return by bdm and there is a couple songs by Amon Amarth that would go good in here

[lambofgod94]

@hunglikeahorse120 and maybe you should look on the date when this video was released. "2008..." and when was deflorate released ... hmmmm ? 2009 ;-)

[hunglikeahorse120]

@lambofgod94 Oh lol didnt see that -__- I was heavily under the influence of weed and i forgot where im goin with this. So Ill just sit back and enjoy the good music our generation birthed. Stay metal you crazy fucks lmao \m/

[lambofgod94]

@hunglikeahorse120 Cheers on that :D

[dran219]

@hunglikeahorse120 amon amarth are viking metal fucktard

[hunglikeahorse120]

@dran219 Uh dude look it up on Wikipedia before you start running your troll mouth. Johan Hegg himself said "We play death metal. We write about vikings so, therefore, some refer us to viking metal, but I have no idea what that is. I can't imagine the Vikings were into metal at all except on the swords and stuff. And musically, I guess they only played these strange lip instruments and some bongos or whatever." There is proof of what i said. dont believe me look it up yourself.

[D1vinemauler]

I agree with every fucken song on here !,,!, ,!,,!

[AIZEN1401]

beyond the dark sun?

[madcat282]

wow,wtf, u must be gay becauseeeee the best is not anything I have heard besides black dahlia\

[zhile7]

you should listen to detonation, song "the last of my commands", really epic intro

[zhile7]

great list, black dahlia murder ftw \m/

[gunnerexplorer]

I love the intro to DevilDriver's I've Been Sober.

[Carnifex11100]

i think Amon Amarth-Twilight of the Thundergod is an epic intro and song. and solo

[Zdraloviocnjaci95]

diablo is strange but very good

[Zdraloviocnjaci95]

@Zdraloviocnjaci95 fucking goood :D haha

[JustinBieberISManlyy]

faggotic dick meal

[BiollanteSpawn]

(sees no comments about diablo)

F YEA DIABLO

[Iamfromswee]

In Flames, Arch Enemy, Children Of Bodom, Heaven Shall Burn(but is Metalcore) Dark Tranquillity, At The Gates, Eluveitie \m/

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

eeeeh Black Dahlia Murder? They try hard to be Melodic Death Metal but they are not really good and will never be real MeloDeath.

[eqjr93]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 why not? they have all the traits of melodic death metal they worship all the original melodeath bands they dont do breakdowns they do harmonized riffs they even have clean guitar sections in their new album

[1251wire]

dude u got diablo twice. give someone else a chance.

good job dude.

[L33TLobster]

Shadows Fall - The Light That Blinds

where teh f is it

[Fonsveritas]

Nightrage - Scathing should be first in my opinion.

[elCHEDE]

Dark tranquility - Terminus

i like more (:

[Carnifex11100]

how come theres no Amon Amarth there one of the most well known Melodic Death Metal bands and for proof just hear Under the Northern Star or ...And soon the world will cease to be, Twilight of the Thundergod, Embrace of the Endless Ocean, Cry of the Blackbirds

[lambofgod94]

@Carnifex11100 Because its my list, its my music taste, and because AA is Pagan/viking metal for me and i ve listened to them too much and i am fucking sick of them ;) nuff said, if you dont like the list push "dont like" or say what is good or bad about it. As i said in the description "The Opinions are different so dont kill me if their are differences between my choice and your's"

[Carnifex11100]

@lambofgod94 dude dont get me wrong i do like the bands here im just saying there should be some AA but if your sick of them whatever man its your loss

[DasGrandMaDJ]

Number 1 should have been Parkway Drive - Breaking Point. Best solo/intro ever. Nuff said.

[Ryu12543]

@DasGrandMaDJ ... Look at the title of the video.

[DasGrandMaDJ]

@Ryu12543 Yeah, it has a very good intro, what did i say wrong?

[Ryu12543]

@DasGrandMaDJ "Melodic Death Metal Intros" Parkway Drive is metalcore, just sayin'.

[residentevilchris06]

and i totally agree on TBDM, but i think my choice would have been miasma, although Everything went black is an awesome song too

[paokmilan4]

where is DEATH-lack of comprehension???

[BlackMetalHeart99]

@paokmilan4 DEATH isn't Melodic Death Metal. They're just pure Death Metal.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@BlackMetalHeart99

Who said "Death" is Melodic Death Metal?.......its the wrongest statement ive ever heard.

[BlackMetalHeart99]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 Just some confused guy lol.

[sas0089]

These Are some of my best songs ever!!!

Man you listen to great music :D

Only song I didn't recognise was tBDM who i dont really know :P

[lambofgod94]

@sas0089 they are more into like death metal but they have some pretty melo death tracks, if you like check t hem out ;) great to hear that somebody finally shares my musical taste :D love this songs from then til now :P

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

Watch this awesome Melodic Death Metal shit !!

/watch?v=PERV_Z7GZaY

[ZsoltTheNemesis]

The best intro from tbdm : DAVE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD

[xisco95]

Children of Bodom - Lake Bodom

In Flames - Trigger

Detroit Metal City (or D.M.C) - Mad Monster

Lost Eden - Time Damages Me

Common Dead - Chronic Solitude

Arise - Ab Aeterno

Followbane - Breath of Sea

Preach - Elixir

They have most goodest intros. Listen to Them ;)

[swiftyrocks08]

HEAVEN SHALL BURN!! One of the most intense songs in the history of ever.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@swiftyrocks08

Heaven Shall Burn is not a song. Its a band.....

[8636qwerty]

you should have used enemy within by arch enemy it,s a better intro

[irt3hsaint]

Dead Alone. Such a good intro, deserved to be higher up imo.

[925metalhead]

lake bodom is a better intro than living dead beat in my opinion

[lambofgod94]

@925metalhead glad to hear the words "in my opinion" :D

[MedianAlcoa]

I have Endzeit as another time the song starts (at 2:50) but all songs of this rule \m/ FTW !

[curbyourgodz]

wow this is fucking terrible

[melodeath95]

@curbyourgodz i agree half of them arent even melodeath

[851852093114208513]

I like "Of Darkness Spawned" better than "Everything Went Black." The only thing is, the intro is like 10 seconds long. But soooooo awesome.

[markersrules]

amon amarth siegreicher marsch victorious march??? were is it??

[lambofgod94]

@markersrules because i dont like it too much ;) just different music tastes ;)

[aadrien666]

definately doubtful about it all by kalmah could be up there other than that everything looks good!

[MrBlonday]

PERFECT #1 CHOICE!

[koga666]

wheres mors principium est?? or raintime, skyfire??? kalmah?? norther??

[TheSonOfTheSystem]

Everything went black is fucking great!

[SeddikAndBlackMetal]

What's the song after TBDM please LOG94?

[lambofgod94]

@SeddikAndBlackMetal as it says in the Description it is Diablo - The Preacher, since then my musical taste changed, its one of my favorite MDM songs its just fucking awesome...!!

[FleshStarvingBass]

No Sonic Syndicate ? No Amon Amarth ? faaaaaail

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@FleshStarvingBass

Sonic Syndicate?? Sondic Syndica are a joke .....they make Emo pop music and not Melodic Death Metal.

[FleshStarvingBass]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 Listen to their early days.

[BeCHa4]

where's Opeth???

[SeddikAndBlackMetal]

@BeCHa4 Opeth aren't Death Metal...

[metalicoXV]

Children of bodom nº1

In flames nº2

Arch Enemy nº3

[Thashark619]

You should check out "I Will Return" by TBDM if you haven't already. AMAZING intro.

[MetallicAciDD]

DARK TRANQUILITY SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE EVEN THOUGH I DUN REALLY LIKE THEM,VERY EMOTIONAL MUSIC RIGHT THERE...

[DjoopMeanen]

nice list, didn't knew a few bands yet, but i think that you can't label songs for a top10 or something like that, they are all good. :P

[lambofgod94]

@DjoopMeanen you defnitely cant but thats the way i have put them back then sure as hell they are all awesome :P

[slaughter69corpse]

dude the best Melodic Death metal intro is BEHIND SPACE have u heard it? its so epic :D nice list though :D

[lambofgod94]

@slaughter69corpse heard it, very nice too :P

[donSparda]

In Flames- Pinball map, Food for the Gods, The jester Race and Satelites& astronauts.

[TheAss123456]

Well not all bands you listed are melodic death metal. Then the songs of the bands you chose aren't really good. At The Gates for example has tons of better intros, my favourite is Windows btw.

So try better next time...

[XGuitarRocker]

Damn right Black Dahlia is the best<3

[frylockiz2hot4u]

Black Dahlia. "Everything Went Black" is one of my favorites. Definitely the best intro EVER.

[Koomeet30]

Living Dead Beat is the WORST intro from Children of Bodom, the best intro and music is Lake Bodom ! And the album Are You Dead Yet is thrash metal, not death metal

[StefanLamy]

for me is in flames on #1 !

[gabebage]

heaven shall burn isn't melodic death metal, it's metalcore, accept it!

[lambofgod94]

@gabebage i accept it ;) didnt recognize it back then !

[UrbanQore]

@gabebage it's a mix of both

[FATSOP808]

ALIAS FTW!!!!!

[voiceofsorrowguitar]

this should include "we are not anonymous" from unearth

[marcusg0th]

soilworker's song of the damned..

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

The Black Daliah Murder is also Deathcore not Melodic Death Metal. !!

[Ryu12543]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 You are an idiot! Unless you actually somehow managed to increase your IQ when you left that comment a year ago.

[habitatnoah11]

this list is wayyyyyy wrong man. there are only like a few melo death bands in that list black dahlia is just shit

[AbstractRS]

I would have put Dark Tranquillity's "Fabric" in the list.

[ITheTrooperI]

The intro of FUNERAL THIRST... I mean the slow INTRO

[melodeath95]

Diablo, Heaven Shall Burn, and Black Dahlia are not melodic death metal.

[Karzaveer]

sice when is BDM melodic death metal......

[residentevilchris06]

@Karzaveer

Since whenever the fuck they wanted to, are you jealous?

[Sk8tboard123]

Avatar - Queen of Blades. Svenskt melodic death metal band, bra som fan!

[MegaJeff666]

Good to see some Diablo in the mix they rule.

[xXiloveizzyXx13]

I thought Heaven Shall Burn and The Black Dahlia Murder were Deathcore...

[synistar04]

Jesus would you retards quit asking him why certain bands aren't in the list. Liking that Lovedivided intro, pretty sweet shit.

[o0LAZARUS0o]

death and the healing by wintersun

[GodlikeGuitar]

TBDM is kinda.. FAG!

I'd leave CoB out too, and HSB. Switch em with Soilwork, Kalmah & Amon =D

[elmiquelo]

I heard some fucking cool song but I dont know what is it. It has about 2 minute symphony orchestra intro and then comes the finest heavymusic ever! It was about 7-8 minute song? Can someone please tell what it could be? Thank you all!

[l00n33y]

yeah black dahlia murder is nowhere near melodeath.... and they suck anyways

[AgonyAgonist]

Hey guess what

Black Dahlia Murder isn't Melodeth

And they fucking sucked live

Get your shit straight before you make a genre video.

[shadowmessiah666]

yes Black Dahlia owns all!!

[Arkandji]

Dark Tranquillity - Yesterworld!

[aralopez89]

What about Dead World by Archeon or Lost Verses by Dawn Of Tears?

[EliasSaieh]

Let´s disscuss about which of these bands really are MDM.

[danilp095]

good top ten but I don't like The Black Dahlia Murder

[CHENDY666]

agreed

[KnowThyself24]

how could not like the black dahlia murder...they own

[mattheweirk777]

My favorite of all time will have to me In flames Moonshield

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@mattheweirk777

Oh yeah i agree so much with you.......my alltime Melodic Death Metal favourite would be

"In Flames - Moonshield". Its a fuckin brilliant song.

[OxyContinJunkHead]

Intros...Dismembered by Dismember is my favorite intro killer guitar solo

[wormednstrangled]

This is my top 10: 10) Arch Enemy - Blood on Your Hands 9) Dark Tranquillity - Out of Nothing 8) Heaven Shall Burn - Forlorn Skies 7) At the Gates - Cold 6) Heaven Shall Burn - Endzeit 5) Nightrage - Scathing 4) Wintersun - Beyond the Dark Sun 3) The Absence - The Murder 2) The Absence - Dead and Gone 1) In Flames - Man Made God

kalmah-time takes us all

in flames-the chosen pessmist

naaera-synergy

arch enemy-beast of man

opeth-drapery falls

lunatic soul-out on a limb

shape of despair-quiet these paintings (shades of.. version)

[BODOMmETALwolF]

[daewooharvey]

Mine would have to be. 10. Kalmah - Swamphell 9. Mendeed - Divided we fall 8. COB - Needled 24/7 7.Oblige - Hell in a handbasket 6. Soilwork - Distortion sleep 5. Sonic Syndicate - Denied 4. In Flames - Clayman 3. In Flames - My sweet shadow 2. Blood Stain Child - Freedom 1. Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk

[Samukuai]

Arsis- Dust and Guilt 5.Norther- To Hell 4.Obscura- Nospheres 3.CoB- Bed of Razors 2.Graveworm- Bloodwork 1. Illnath- By the hands of Violent Winter Look up all these songs if you want you should be able to find all of them here on Youtube \m/

[Jesushobo]

Intros I like by the same bands as this, some I believe are better: 10.) Arch Enemy - Silent Wars 9.) In Flames - Colony 8.) Diablo - Into The Sea 7.) At The Gates - World of Lies 6.) Children of Bodom - Downfall 5.) Heaven Shall Burn - Profane Believers 4.) Diablo - Hammer 3.) Dark Tranquillity - The Treason Wall 2.) Nightrage - Hero 1.) The Black Dahlia Murder - Closed Casket Requiem

[warheart454]

i never knew were to but inflames as

[logojones]

no system of a down?

[nightangel124]

@logojones

System of a down is nu-metal not melodeath

[seniorspedo]

they arent actually nu-metal but they definitely arent melodic death metal

[raspmonkey]

fianily arch enemy kiss all our asses

[tra90813]

digging through some of my albums i had recently noticed... "the book" by vader... a kickass intro and "the groan of wind" by kalmah.

-someblkguy

[rockluverx2]

i love the intro to Black Dahlias Contagion.

[XldemonbloodlX]

Personally I believe there should be Into Eternity.....about 75% of their songs have incredible intros. I would say Shallow would make an excellent edition.

[Deadandlivin]

The Quiet Place with In Flames would be better imo.

Downfall by Children of Bodom also, and ofcourse Cry of the Black Birds by Amon Amarth.

And ofcourse Soilworks Nerve, best intro ever.

[XiyadGenie]

Heroes to Us by Kalmah is best intro i've ever heard..!!

[swhamster]

Uhm, am i the only one who thinks its a bit weird to have Heaven shall burn as a melodeath band (they are more like Deathcore imo)? O.o haha still love Endzeit tho, easily the best track theyve made

[lambofgod94]

So im gonna right a conclusion of the first 246 comments :D i disagree and agree with many points of view but i still like my choice ;P and everyone who doesnt like it... so doesnt like it :P My favorites would change now because i would definitely would the outrosong "the preacher " on it :P

[Anartik]

@lambofgod94

Even though I love all but 2 songs in this video, the outro was the only song from this video I've actually put on my iPod. Thanks, man.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@lambofgod94

Haha LOL

Heaven Shall Burn - Enzeit is not Melodic Death Metal.

This is a Metalcore/Deathcore song dude.

[pametachin96]

what bands are that
