[MrHaydenkennedy]

Amon Amarth should be on here

[fsn125]

@MrHaydenkennedy amon amarth is NOT melodeath dude..

[jugglemonkey1992]

[poopRscoop14]

Mirror Mirror, the song from the intro. I cant remember the name of the band but it used to be my favorite until i got into brutal death metal

[metalhealth1980]

american metal sucks! europe is the home of real metal!

[rockadio8710]

@metalhealth1980 american everything sucks, i should know. i live in western new york lol.

[philoouw]

@metalhealth1980 depends on what kind of metal you're looking for... i guess, but c'mon, USA have great metal bands as well !! maybe because i'm more into heavy metal, i suppose

[LightLink1992]

@metalhealth1980 metallica and all the 80s trash is epic

even though its from US!

[Gronicle]

@metalhealth1980 id say finland is the home of melodeath!

[metalhealth1980]

@Gronicle finland is one of the best places for metal!

[xXQcAresiusQcXx]

@metalhealth1980 Well, I like the progressive side of American Metal, like Dream Theater and Symphony X! I think they are an exception here! :P

[segundo666]

@metalhealth1980 yeah man, but there are good bands like manowar and...... ups, i can´t remember jaja

[dougandchase1]

@metalhealth1980 that was an awesome joke

[metalhealth1980]

@dougandchase1 it wasnt a joke europe has good metal, and america doesnt.

[nevs54]

@metalhealth1980 american metal and death metal are the fucking best!!!!!!!!!!

[metalhealth1980]

@nevs54 dont get me wrong american metal used to be good back in the 80's and 90's. but now MOST of it is crap besides a few underground bands.

[nevs54]

@metalhealth1980 agreed

[FVEliteDT]

@metalhealth1980 - You just went full retard!

[metalhealth1980]

@FVEliteDT Dude american metal sucks, this video is proof.

[FVEliteDT]

@metalhealth1980 - LMAO, you just went full retard!

[metalhealth1980]

@FVEliteDT now you are just trolling. You arent explaining why i am wrong.

[DamianKenny8]

@metalhealth1980 look up the band dragonwind, they are american and they are AMAZING. very under rated as well

[metalhealth1980]

@DamianKenny8 My main point is that most americans listen to horrible music and they dont apriciate good music, i am sure there are alot of good american bands, but to bad the idiots living in america only listen to shity rap and dont take the time to fing good metal bands.

[LastBinLadin]

@metalhealth1980 Don't assume all americans listen to Rap. God i fucking hate that sterotype.

[MasakoXer]

@metalhealth1980

hey, I'm an American, and I love metal. I hate rap.

[metalhealth1980]

@MasakoXer so am i its just that most americans, listen to shit.

Europeans seem to listen to great music.

[sexhatesme]

@metalhealth1980 i love this music hate most american bands no true talent

[xKaseyChavezX]

@metalhealth1980 Check out Æther Realm, Nekrogoblikon, Northsky, Hammer Horde, Xanthos, Skogs Hallen all from America ;)

[videogamerselite270]

@metalhealth1980 Death made death metal, and they are American. Without Death, you wouldn't even have melodic death metal. Or many kinds of folk metal.

[metalhealth1980]

@videogamerselite270 i am not bashing the great bands from the 80's, because i am a death fan myself. i am saying that modern american metal sucks.

[ISoldMySoulForBeer]

@metalhealth1980 So....... Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, are not real metal?

[metalhealth1980]

@ISoldMySoulForBeer metallica sucks

[ISoldMySoulForBeer]

@metalhealth1980 That's all you have to say your more worthless then I thought. By the way check out Daath (American metal FTW)

[metalhealth1980]

@ISoldMySoulForBeer but metallica sucks.....how does that make me worthless?

[ISoldMySoulForBeer]

@metalhealth1980 You are insulting other metal, to me that makes you not worthy to even listen to metal. All metal good or not is still metal just fucking enjoy it .

[metalhealth1980]

@ISoldMySoulForBeer not worthy to listen to metal? lol. i dont like american metal because most of it is commercial, nu metal bullshit.

[ISoldMySoulForBeer]

@metalhealth1980 You are just looking at the wrong bands.... Look at Daath, Goatwhore, Deicide, Oakhelm, just to name a few..... im sure you will be surprised, don't be to ignorant.

[SycamoreHill14]

@ISoldMySoulForBeer Deicide?!, sorry but Europe leads the world in quality Metal.

[gabwolff288]

@SycamoreHill14 so true i mean they put so much more emotion into their songs and spend more time thinking about the way the song should sound instead of a quick riff or drum line

[TheFrobare]

@gabwolff288 Agreed. As an American, I can say American metal is, for the most part, incomparable to European. Just fact.

[ISoldMySoulForBeer]

@SycamoreHill14 Metal is metal dude no matter where it comes from. Please mature now thanks.

[ISoldMySoulForBeer]

@SycamoreHill14 You are so fucking blind. it is people like you that divide the metal community

[SycamoreHill14]

@ISoldMySoulForBeer Yes, there is great metal from every country. But the US mass produces "Core" and Nu-Metal. While Europe, primarily eastern Europe, is developing great Melodeath and Folk Metal.

[ISoldMySoulForBeer]

@SycamoreHill14 The US didn't just start off with "core" and Nu-Metal, if you know your history the US the once the biggest place for Death Metal, and I know it might be hard to look past all that crap, but once you do you will find great metal, including my favorite US band Daath. By the way, I fucking love Melo-death and Folk Metal, Equilibrium \m/

[riadsky]

ooooooooooooooooppppppppssssss­s

[TheZandkoek]

Nice list :D

[neoncolouredmoon]

FINLAND !

[MetalizedPK]

Fucking norther!!! :OOOOO

[unrealxXx]

suidakra <3

[Concealedasylum]

[wolffe93]

3:20 lyrics are "it's cool to be dead and UNgreatful"

[thehuntz1]

3:30 it's Nathan Explosion.

[Poulmy]

I would have put In Flames and Children Of Bodom to remplace the number 7 and 6 but Anyways great vid man ! Kalmah, Eluveitie, Equilibrium, Wintersun, Insomnium, Amon Amarth.... my favs in that genre

[nose249]

WHERE IS COB !!!!!!!!????????

[MuncKyxD]

@nose249 their vocalist sucks

[DeadwoodForest]

[HcMultiMetal]

Hail Equilibrium, Insomnium, Turisas, Norther, Wintersun, Eluveitie, Amon amarth, Ensiferum and Kalmah

[orlino5272]

Why is that Finnish metal bands are so F*ckin great ?

wait.. where the hell is CHILDREN OF BODOM ?? !!!

[MetaLFaN4ik]

bodom sux, insomnium kick asses!

[kalmegadensiferum]

winntaaaarrrrr!!!

[ACDCman1727]

Equilibrium!

[HopeImLegend]

this list is so fucking eeeeepic...

sends down chills my spine for 10 minutes hands down best list...

[hollyfilth]

AWESOME LIST!

[SebastiaanLP670]

How the fuck where is Children of Bodom!?!?!

[PancakeNightmare]

@SebastiaanLP670

Not on the list, thankfully.

[trogdortheninja]

LOL at 3:14 It's cool to be dead and grateful.

[remolino0867]

Hi you forgot to add Tuomas Saukkonen (Before the dawn, Sun black aeon, dawn of solace) the best finnish Melodic Metal Bands.

[DriveByInAYugo]

Metal is so Epic !

[Simppi96]

!?!?!? YOU FORGOT CHRILDREN OF BODOM=( THAT WASN'T GOOD! SHAME ON YOU

[TheCutaway]

Wintersun is the best. Hands down.

[FurdayFriday]

Insomnium is my all-time favourite band! Their Lyrics, instrumentals, and all-around talent prove that they are amazing!

[sentencedrush]

Be'lakor > all

[Madbutcher305]

Not really a Melodeath guy, I much prefer the classic death metal like Morbid angel but Carcass and At The Gates appeal to me.

[sedofar]

İnsomnium best !!! listen Down With the Sun song

[209curse]

tarja,insomnium,lordi,turisas,­norther,children of bodom, wintersun, ensiferum,kalmah etc etc...they all come from finland... it seems like most of the great metal bands come from finland...

GODDAMN IT when i graduate from highschool i wanna move there xD

[MisterFister103]

Beast list.

I was worried Ensiferum wasn't going to be on there. I think I would switch them and Kalmah.

Everyone screaming Bodom needs to stop living in the Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper past...they arent melodic death metal anymore. They're gay metal now.

[JFFGaming84]

@MisterFister103 yes they have changed a little but they're still melodic death metal. Ensiferum and Amon Amarth fuck yeah! <3 \m/

[999barbosa]

1. children of bodom

(melodicdeath)

finland

[N16HTM4RE]

Kalmah is a wannabe Children Of Bodom

[FreepercussionX0X]

omg you forgot the best one children of bodom

[DivisionAlbaniaSS]

A good joke this one with " the gods of melo-death" !!!! Are you kidding me!? DT is the fucking God of melo-death. If it wasn't for them you couldnt post this video today. Or maybe you could had post it 10 years later.

[Excrucius]

I'm death and I'm everlast ! \m/

[Hernanw500]

Pettri Lindross a Master of Masters

[PegasusRider1]

children of bodom are missing plus in flames the rest are awesome

[Wolfa11]

And where eternal tears of sorrow?

[Millenxz]

Great Video :D

[ShriekingDeathBat]

01:24 Arse crack alert...

[dbzsony]

In Flames. Lol JK (I love In Flames, but I know everyone gets butthurt when they're called melodeath :P )

Anyway... Insomnium. At the Gates. Dark Tranquillity. Good melodeath there.

[ShriekingDeathBat]

@dbzsony and Children Of Bodom

[ChiefDen4]

@dbzsony They are melodic death metal...

[dbzsony]

@ChiefDen4

You mean In Flames?

Yeah, The Jester Race to maybe Colony.

Trust me, I'm a HUGE In Flames fan and I like everything they produce but you can't really label them anything besides metal. Their discography is so diverse that it can't be classed in a sub genre.

[ChiefDen4]

@dbzsony Alright, I see. That is true.

[vaztian23]

Insomnium deserves a better job

for me at least my favorite

[xxXfanosXxx]

KALMAH FOR EVER!!!!!!!!!

[SmeJseR]

Amon Amarth <3

[syntheticskull]

Switzerland!! \m/

[TheBlacksimth]

maidendrummer.. do u know anymore metal bands with a bagpipe?? iv been searching for that kind of band ATM

[panthrakas]

@TheBlacksimth check skiltron..



[DeathSet]

Insomnium se lleva las palmas para mi....

[dsavish]

lol @ not listing Dark Tranquillity, the melodeath band with the best growling vocalist.

what the fuck ?

how can this list be taken seriously.....even though there are some good bands on it.

DT deserves a top 3 or top 5 in every damn melodeath list.

nuff said.

[Hellbrigade88]

@dsavish dont take it seriously then. its HIS favorite bands not yours

[XBillinatorX]

@dsavish yes! my favorite band! Dt are amazing! Mikael and anders are really nice :P

[ACDCman1727]

@dsavish He obviously doesn't like DT therefore there didn't put it on the list, so calm down.

[gabriel92s2]

Were can i found Turisas album ??? i want their song man T.T

[paulo1ftw]

Perhaps this should be named simply: top 10 greatest songs.

Insomnium + Wintersun for the win.

[CrazyDuck1996]

amon amarth on the top

[HayateAyanami]

in my opinion, when you talk about melodeath, you must speak about Dark Tranquillity, creators of this kind of music :) but, you put Insomnium and Kalmah, so i will agree to your list!

[Keepervonalles]

\mm/

[LordiFaaaaan1993]

ok dann weis ich jetzt welche band auf K auf den christmas metal 2011 kommt XD

[LordiFaaaaan1993]

das neue turisas album is kaka XD

[MetalABCPaulista]

My guitar solo : /watch?v=nMs4VJQIQP8&feature=r­elated

[TheSoumyaghosh]

kalmah for life 

[PA3314U]

They are all great guys/girls. Every band has thier own style. Its about the music guys just enjoy. Let us not fight over which band is better, but unite & kill those fucking shitty pop artist & others. Thumbs up if you agree. METAL WILL LIVE FOREVER!

[rakkipallo]

@PA3314U and first we kill all recordcompanys who can make even paris fucking hilton sound like real singer with gizmos and do-a-hickeys.all hail northern metal and specially ALL HAIL TO FINNISH METAL!

[Seveng04]

KALMAH!! FINLAND!! \m/



[Asgard422]

KalmaH!

[WarlordManrock]

Kalmah!!

[scgcdmluvr]

Insomnium is the best. Without a doubt.

[segecdario]

where the fuck is children of bodom are u crazy they should be 1.

[Dzschelebo]

@segecdario HAH Children of bodom, you're a joke.

[marcia80]

Must confess I listen EQUILIBRIUM epic creatures nonstop.

Ahhh INSOMNIUM- my NEVERlasting love.\m/

[mistershadowx2]

Nice ranking, but I miss In Flames and Dark Tranquillity!

[MrFirestorm102]

@mistershadowx2 i agree, ive seen like 20 of these top 10 metal things and not 1 clip of in flames.

[andveeh]

Fucking all

[soulexhaler9]

When People say Metal.... Finland comes in my mind !

When People say Doom Metal Sweden Comes in my Mind !

When People say Gay Music... I mean Emo songs... then America comes in My mind.....

[DProductionsNBK]

@soulexhaler9 Emo isn't that bad. Just make sure you're not listening to hurr durr I lost a girlfriendur type of emo music.
