My Top 10 Melodic Death Metal Bands

[Setinnaa]

Lordi!!!

[Carlos141195]

Amon Amarth is Viking Death ... And Children of Bodom MUST BE HIGHER !!

[thatswedishguy100]

Amon amarth should be higher on the list!

[thatswedishguy100]

witch song by dark tranquility?

[VladGuardian]

FUCK CoB - gay posers.

In Flames - are the most REAL of that all.

[Funechrist]

@VladGuardian I think its the other way around?

[VladGuardian]

@Funechrist

sorry?

plus to my words, Dark Tranquility - is also the REAL band, I think.

It's all the way my opinion, no single gramm of trolling.

P.S. Dismember all way cool, check this at all costs!

[MsFish5]

1. Wintersun

2. Amon Amarth

3. Kalmah

IMO

[pureinfinity991]

For me it is Kalmah...... Ultimate MDM band!!!!

[Floetenolm]

right

[zukuci]

Just check out Insomnium, and feel the metal...

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

Old In Flames FTW (Jester Race album 1995)

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

"GREY HEAVEN FALL".....the best detection of the year !! I swear

[HeavyMetalFreaksYou]

Kalmah?!??!??!

[locolocoyou]

@HeavyMetalFreaksYou

see son los mas reconocidos del melodic!!

[amazingaustin13]

look up fimbulhtier

[iceketball]

Amon Amarth, Children Of Bodom, Norther. Best Melodic bands.

[GwiazdaSmierci1]

so metal :)



[Neuffey]

Where the fuck is At The Gates? They fucking invented this genre. They should be #1!

[manosrock123]

kalamah have to be on the top. for me...

[bvencel]

Mercenary!

[TheDarklink97]

Wheres Threat Signal? or Soilwork? or Trivium? Half of the bands on here suck!

[Baseball69Rockstar]

@TheDarklink97 they are not melodic death...

[TheDarklink97]

@Baseball69Rockstar They actually are, theyre jus not as mainstream as half the fags listed in the video

[Baseball69Rockstar]

@TheDarklink97 dude, trivium is my favorite band. they are not melodic death metal at all. and from the other 2, i love threat signal (as i have their discography) and the only thing that could MAYBE be related to melodic death is like 2-3 songs off of their new album.

[TheDarklink97]

@Baseball69Rockstar I understand people do classify Trivium as metalcore and that could be true, but if u listen to Ascendancy the melodeath traits r shown, Same with Threat Signal. And some of the bands on here arent even melodeath, like Amon Amarth is viking metal, and some of it is just straight up death metal.

[Baseball69Rockstar]

@TheDarklink97 trivium and them may have melodic parts in their songs but they are not melodic DEATH metal. and yea, amon amarth is melodic death metal with lyrical focus on Norse mythology.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@TheDarklink97

Soilwork played Melodic Death Metal in on their early albums. Trivium??? They are not bad but they where never Melodic Death Metal. Threath Signal? Also a good band but NOT Melodic Death Metal. You say this list suck because there a none of your Metalcorebands included. I give you an advise. Please learn about this genre before you talk shit.

[TheDarklink97]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 Threat Signal is on tour with Revocation, Bodom, and Eluveitie, Im pretty sure a metalcore band wouldnt be touring with those guys. And as for melodic death metal, its a subgenre of NWOBHM and death metal which developed in Europe and Scandinavia, in which entered into Gothenburg, and in turn spread to the US. Melodeath uses fast riffing and harmonic guitar lines, along with distorted guitars, fast double bass patterns,and a mixture of screaming, growling, and clean vocals.

[josdavis5309]

i thought it said jonas brothers in the beginning at first lmao

[MetalHeadBang90]

children of bodom n.3 ?!?! oh my god -.- ..Amon Amarth aren't Melodic Death, it's Viking Metal.. I failed watching this video because I thought it was a great top 10......... it isn't!!!

[MetalGuitarist840]

@MetalHeadBang90 Lol? Amon Amarth isn't Viking Metal. They are Melodeath they hate it when people call them Viking Metal :D

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@MetalGuitarist840

True. I also replied on this guy. Amon Amarth is 100% Melodic Death Metal and nothing else.

[MetalGuitarist840]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 Yep. :) Very good Melodic Death Metal band. :D

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@MetalHeadBang90 Dude please......Amon Amarth is musically 100% Melodic Death Metal. Viking Metal is not a genre in respect of music. This declaration just exist because of thir viking influenced lyrics. Its not about the music style. The music of AA is Melodic Death Metal. Even Johan Hegg said on MetalHammer: "Wtf is Viking Metal....we just are a fuckin Death Metal band who write about the northern mithology". So you are wrong.

[TajemnaTemnota]

For me is Children Of Bodom nr.1 xD.

[lmlCOBHClml]

@TajemnaTemnota me too im going to see them in 2 weeks!!

[lxDeadBeatxl]

@lmlCOBHClml I saw them two days ago...prepare for awesomeness man!!

[MirandaEdwin]

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@MirandaEdwin

Black Dahlia Murder is legitimately NOT in this list because they are not a real and not a really good Melodic Death Metal band.

[Soilworker27]

no soilwork???

[metallouncher3]

mhh was i sleeping while the video ?? i misses kataklysm ...

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@metallouncher3

Kataklysm?? Lol they are not Melodic Death Metal.

[metallouncher3]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 jes they are .. the new stuff is melodic :)

[97jesterhead]

wtf IF should be no. 1

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@97jesterhead

But just the old In Flames should be #1. "The Jester Race" album was pure brilliance.

[97jesterhead]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 imho SOAPF is still melodic death metal Anyway, keep it metal!

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@97jesterhead

You really think that......and where are the "Death Metal" elements on "Sounds Of A Playground Fading".....i cant hear it. Not even a little bit. I mean "Melodic Death Metal" is coming from"Death Metal" do you know? "Death".

[Casper2245]

AMON AMARTH!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ghostman7777]

@Casper2245 The band that got me into MeloDeath, I would have been upset if I didn't see them on here. Amon Amarth FOR LIFE!!!

[Casper2245]

@Ghostman7777 Amen to Viking Metal!

[megadethfan1983]

C.O.B should be no.1!!!!!!

[amazingaustin13]

Wintersun is #1, Jari is a fucking genius!

[VengeanceAfter]

Everyone knows those two.

[ANTILAISA]

and....at the gates??????????

[coltonh45]

You better put Kalmah in here... If not, you would have been in a world of trouble.

[OxygenMcgee]

@timotallgren oh, very informative. thankyou for explaining that.

[timotallgren]

@OxygenMcgee You're welcome :)

[boklas87]

GO! suomi

[OxygenMcgee]

If someone could explain to me what the differences between sub-genres in metal are, except the way it sounds, I would appreciate it. Im new to metal so Im just trying to figure stuff out.

[timotallgren]

@OxygenMcgee Heavy Metal (or traditionnal heavy metal) is the first kind of metal that appeared, in the early '70s with bands like Black Sabbath or Deep Purple (also hard rock and heavy metal was the same thing back then) after that came the NWOBHV I think, with bands like Saxon or Iron Maiden. In the early '80s came Thrash metal, some kind of fusion between NWOBHV, hardcore and punk, with bands like Slayer, early Metallica, after that came the band Death, who started

[timotallgren]

@OxygenMcgee the death metal movement and so on. There are many other genres but I don't have the time to explain everything here,,, So, NWOBHV: British bands, late '70s/ early '80s, distorded guitars and clean singing, Thrash Metal: Very fast, very distorded but still melodic, singing can be completely clean or a bit of screaming. Death Metal: Ultra fast, ultra distorded, guitars usually tuned down (it sounds heavier) and growls. This, Melodeath: Same kind of singing as

[timotallgren]

@OxygenMcgee Death Metal but the guitars are way more melodic and not usually as fast as Death Metal, there also can be clean singing sometimes (listen to the album Clayman by In Flames for example)

[DarkRetroFan64]

Dark Tranquillity, Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, In Flames, Mors Principium Est, Amorphis, Carcass, Skyfire, At the Gates, Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom, Kalmah, The Black Dahlia Murder, Wintersun, Arch Enemy, Barren Earth, Hypocrisy, some my favorite Melodic Death Metal bands.

[CloudxStrifex21]

@DarkRetroFan64 most of them arent melodic o0

[DarkRetroFan64]

@CloudxStrifex21 Actually all of them are. Each band listed has been considered "Melodic Death Metal", although a few of them didn't start out Melodeath in their early work.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@CloudxStrifex21

Most of them ARE melodic INDEED. He knows what he is saying. All of them are Melodic Death Metal. you must learn about this genre dude.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@DarkRetroFan64

Wow you have a great taste in that genre....almost every band you mentioned is amazing. Just one exception: "The Black Dahlia Murder".....i dont really like them and i dont think they are Melodic Death Metal.

[kman2000able]

all i hear is ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dun dun agghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so colse and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhh

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@kman2000able

Thats because you have no fuckin idea about music in general. You just listen to shitty dupstep music so you cant have an idea about good music. You just follow the untalented and brainless mainstream crap like every stupid kid out there. This is Melodic Death Metal. It have 10 times more sense and intellectual meaning and instrumentally skills than your shit music. I play 3 instruments since 12 years and i can hear every complex note out of here. So fuck off.

[bsistcool]

does anyone know any albums similar to at the gates - slaughter of the soul

[11yearoldscene]

anvil of doom?

[megadethfan1983]

COB FTW!!!!!!

[TheEmoGrinder]

Is it just me or do a lot of melodeath bands just combine 2 words together? Wintersun, Skyfire, Nightrage~ I'm seeing a trend here.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@JustinBieberISManlyy

I disliked your comment because of your profile name.

[Usmanium1]

[exeat5]

children on top of in flames... hell i totally disagree ;p maybe inflames made some poor album but man everything they did in the early career..... children didnt even got close to them, in my opinion, in flames was just sick and un beatable but thats my taste

[OlathSanguine]

@OlathSanguine What about Alexi Laiho??

[gothaner0407]

[getugatenhow]

I didnt come here to see a bunch of fuckin girls do gay scremo music?

[ZoryuOfSetsunaPS3]

@getugatenhow This isn't screamo music you moron.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@getugatenhow

Lol your stupid comment is a contradiction in terms. You said "this is gay screamo music". So "screamo music" have nothing do to with metal growling or screaming in Metal. Everyone should know it...."Screamo music" is a shitty genre invited by emo scene kids. A few minutes ago i watched your channel and i found a lot of videos of faggy emo bands like "Black Veil Bridges" etc......so either you a trolling or you are just fuckin retarded and don realize it. Fag kid...

[getugatenhow]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 Omm hate 2 break it 2 u, but black veil brides is rock/metal not a scremo band.

[Mattyrdom]

@getugatenhow Hate to break it back to you, but Black Fail Brides is definetely not metal. It's emo-rock, AKA fag-core

[nedimlp]

wtf kalmah 9? you are insane!

[bob18robert]

@nedimlp yeah. that was stupid

[jabarane]

and don't forget insomniummmmmmmmmmmm
