The Creator of the universe cannot be preceded by non-existence; otherwise, He would need another god to create Him; and that god, if he is preceded by non-existence, would need another god and so on. Thus, we would have an endless chain of gods without reaching a **causeless cause** to be the source of the existence of the universe.
Then we have to deny the existence of the universe. We would also have to deny ourselves because we are a part of the universe.
I have looked them up. Unfortunately, to no avail. Name 5 Melodic death metal bands that originate from America and incorporate polyrhythms and technical melodies. If you can show me this I will gladly eat my words. Oh, and I'm primarily referring to Sweden because that's where Melodic death metal originated from. Also, to no surprise, most Melodic death metal bands are from Sweden, so it's only natural that I focus on Sweden.
By special something, I meant the pleasant melodies and complex polyrhythms Swedish death metal bands seem to include in their music. The vast majority, if not all American death metal bands, demonstrate an excessive use of blast beat drumming, gravity rolls and repetitive tremolo picking. It sounds incredibly simple and shallow. Compare this album to something like The Jester's Race by In Flames. You will see what I'm talking about.
ok, it's not a question of melodeth vs melodic death. In flames / at the gates / dark tranquility are from Gothenburg, a place in Sweden that is renown for that styling of MDM. There's no need to make things too complicated, its just like red wine that comes from Napa Valley. It's still red wine, it just has a background.
@nargarothfreak Your the stupid fuck who dont know the right genre of this band calling them Black/Death, its melodic but its still Straight Death Wanker.
If you are too stupid to understand why genres are nothing more than a tool to organize the various specific aesthetics of sound, then you are an idiot of epic proportions.
@bungnugget Jesus christ bungnugget..... is it your lifes work to research metal and everything about it and then explain it on youtube? Seems like you know everything and spend all day on youtube commenting about it......
@bungnugget A one word comment from the great metal genius? And don't worry we will all die and it will happen sooner than expected...... And if i die, then you've already been dead for days maybe weeks.

Minimalism taken to the furthest extreme hybridized with metal produced an electronic music influenced genre which favored unchanging simple beats (similar to Discharge) under shifting melodic context- and lexically-sensitive phrase evolution.
Early experiments in structuralism allowed melody to serve as a fundamental principle and therefore emphasized use of the melodic sound in riff construction and chord voicing.
Chaotic and nihilistic blasts of short information in three-note riffs founded this style, which through reduction of assumed musicality focused on the information of its communication.
The first major evolution of theory occurred within the Swedish Death Metal movement, where Sunlight Studios/Thomas Skogsberg(tm) fuzztone production and longer phrases contributed to a melodicity fully evolving with At the Gates.
Some of the most "heavy metal" of the death metal movement, the Florida bands mated bold rhythm to the pulsing rhythm of early percussive death metal and created the most defiant, monstrously simple and direct metal of the era
Explosively percussive and equal parts speed metal and angst-ridden New York Hardcore (NYHC), this music flew from the depths with guttural vocals, edgy rhythm riffing and essaylike song structures. In two styles, one of which is more percussive than its longer phrased variant.
Derived from the slamming, explosive street-level speed metal of Exodus or Exhorder, percussive death metal evolved from the New York Death Metal and Tampa Death Metal sounds to become a generic style of impact-oriented, explosive muffled strum death metal.
From the pure origins of death metal, the faster styles took after bands like Slayer, early Sepultura and Massacra in making architectures of intricate rhythm and melodic construction.
Misnamed speed/death metal hybrid bands were called "thrash metal" because of their violent and self-conflicted music, aggressive attitudes and thrash-based ideological assertions. The origin of the term "thrash metal" is European big corporate media magazines trying to sell speed metal as something more extreme than what it was.
From the 1970s progressive metalheads began making larger structures and wider gains in technique in the rendering of intricate but impact-oriented music. While power chord riffing remains predominant, many progressive metal bands moved beyond the accepted "progressive" sound and created theoretically literate avantgarde works.
Bands like Prong produced the first hypnotic rhythm "mellow" metal which while violent in methods of creation produced an atmosphere of calm and allowed emotional aspects of the art within to emerge.
The major innovation of speed metal was the muffled, explosive strumming of power chords to produce a sound of impact and resurrect the power of rhythm guitar in rock music.
Why does everyone try to put every band in a specific genre or category? To me theres heavy metal and death metal and they are only separated by the vocals.If a band is heavy enough for me and i like the sound then i listen to it but i don't waste time trying to figure out what genre it is.... it's just haevy shit that i like. This is death metal to me, nothing else.Check out obituary,gizmachi,slayer,old sepultura,gojira,kataklysm,deeds of flesh,decapitated,dying fetus,superjoint ritual,chimaira
metal's broken down by more conventions, most of the time the guitars are enough to set genres apart as this is the case, most people don't really know shit about it less its obvious... this being the case, its just Melodic Death Metal with more Death which people arent accostumed to
depends who u ask every1 has their opinion.. this is death metal to me i dont use useless words like melodic,speed,grind. its in a category i call heavy music thats all
"Sounds" are aesthetic variants of a subgenre. Just as "doom metal" means music that is either heavy metal or death metal played slowly with morbid/gothic surfacing, "sounds" differentiate groups of similar musical approach from each other. The evolution of "sounds" can be viewed as a hierarchy of specialized technique and aesthetic within a genre, the technique creating an effect that reveals the intent of the creators as communicated to the listener.
In Flames and Dark Tranquillity are of the same genre. They are both considered melodic death metal, this is just on the heavier end of the spectrum. Now a different sub-genre of metal would be like black metal, and personally I like death metal better.
@Mastafly7 swedish death has its own influences, location by itself doesnt make a band sound different..There just happened to be a few good bands rolling out of sweden and the rest of the bands there tried to ride the bandwagon with the same sound, like norther, *puke*
@kimshteklis Most bands have some sort of melody dude, its just their level of focus on the riff compositions that makes it melodeath. and honestly as much as i like akerfeldt bloodbath "as a band" is pretty overrated....:/ sorry to say as much as i WANT to like them but... and dude what the fuck does a location have to do with metal? It doesnt sound different because it swedish, thats an insult
@kimshteklis: In flames / dark tranquillity / at the gates and others from sweden are defined "Gothenburg metal", not melodic death. They compose music in another kind of way.
Melodic death's a genre with the standard death metal riff and composing style; with melodic inserts.
Sweden gothenburg death metal can't be merged with melodic death.
If you pay attention sweden death metal uses every times the same notes and scales; Rhytm sounds (like hardcore) and more.i like inflames but it's different
should be called-god was created by man.great song regardless

Who created God?
The Creator of the universe cannot be preceded by non-existence; otherwise, He would need another god to create Him; and that god, if he is preceded by non-existence, would need another god and so on. Thus, we would have an endless chain of gods without reaching a **causeless cause** to be the source of the existence of the universe.
