[dewataraya100]

[racist70]

[FluminenseBresciano]

What's the name of Ensiferum's song?

[boxojoy]

Kalmah ftw! <3

[BF1]

I find it strange I've looked at several of these melodic death metal lists and noone lists Nights Blood of Dissection....I think Dissection warrants at least a mention in some of these lists.

[terristheironsoldier]

can you tell to me the name of the cryptic wintermoon song plz???

[Fluffypopcicle]

AEVERON!!! damn, it's nice to see aevoron on a list like this, but this whole video is an epic fail for not giving the song names. 2 stars for the effort.

[Super3n1gma]

Cryptic wintermoon ftw

[socksworn]

u only gave the band names...?

give name of songs next time...>.>

ill give 3/5 for effort...

[PLDestroyer1]

Kalmah Hades =D

[MrWase2]

[cdfox85]

@MrWase2

That's not what death metal is. LOL

[socksworn]

death metal doesnt sing a bout killing urself and sht lol..

im a mellow person whos anti war, and is for world peace, and i love death metal lol...

dont talk sht about music before u give it a chance..

just a year ago i didnt even like hard rock and now i love death metal...

and i dont dress like one of those freaks in all black and chains hahaha those are stupid

[sithisaak]

then why do you look it up on youtube?

[XeftCore]

@MrWase2 Your comment is incredibly ignorant and people killing themselves is not the fault of music but of idiocy.

[condorbbajr]

Catamenia took there font style from Cynic. not judgin the band.

[ArkhamCrew]

archeon and made of hate is the same band

[AlexanderCzu]

At The Gates - Suicide Nation

[CredenceCadence]

Wicked selection. ENSIFERUM!! \m/

[seanyboy212]

wtf dude? this is all black metal...

[loofens]

i love melodic! sends shiveres down mah spine :D

[LanceMetal]

made of hates really archeon they just changed there band name

[DaveMurray96]

for me the best song is (Cryptic Wintermoon-Synthetic God)

[EIN771]

Kalmah! (*In death growl*)

[Nilkingii]

I miss from this collection the Be'Lakor

[a7xrinex]

what song are the ones of archeon, imperanon, aeveron and made of hate???

[TehNoobinShow]

Kalmah is the fucking best...Ensiferum, Wintersun, Korpiklaani <-- My other favorites.

[Mstiny9118]

mm eso es mas melodic black metal

[mechajesus2000]

these r like noobs to the death metal world compared to shit like Cannibal Corpse and Deicide and Death and Venom...

[Synyster0Van0Wylde]

Cannibal Corpse isnt melodic...says 10 great MELODIC death metal songs

[AzureAcerbus]

And you must be a death metal noob.

considering all the bands you mentioned (except Venom) are surface death metal bands, that is to say some of the most popular DM bands.

If i were to look up Death Metal on wiki, most all those bands would show.

So its not as if your all that well versed in the, depths of metal. So you have no right to judge others.

Name a underground band when you reference. That way it makes you seem as if you know something. But we both know thats not the case.

[mechajesus2000]

okay here u go... Claws, Monstrosity, Savage Death... is that good enough for you or do you need another four or five?

[AzureAcerbus]

Honestly im my opinion that actually sounds quite a bit better. It makes me think you have valid opinions. Seeing as apparently you do know more than just the surface bands.

[mechajesus2000]

thank you... i now a lot more tho but nywyas x] wasnt trying to be a dick on the reply comment... but ehh... i like very few surface bands... mostly into the underground deathmetal/blackmetal... but... yeah...

[TehNoobinShow]

@mechajesus2000 Cannibal Corpse...That shit is goregrind ain't it?

[mechajesus2000]

no no cannibal corpse is hardcore death metal and always will be... but... their newer shit is crappy compared to the old... and yes i know thats a surface band which i only like Old Cannibal Corpse, Old Deicide, and Old Immortal... the rest... not to big on because i mean u dont get much more like angelfuck or pestilence or death... i mean... yeah... just not really into new age music... thats kinda why i didnt really like this vid... but that Wintermoon band was pretty kwl... gona check em out

[TehNoobinShow]

@mechajesus2000 If you don't know: Kalmah, Wintersun, Ensiferum, Mors Principium Est, Korpiklaani, Norther...Give them a listen. They're deserve it. (I think a couple were in this video I didn't really watch it. lol)

[mechajesus2000]

kay i'll make sure to check em' out... but still... i mean im still not to big on new death/thrash/black metal... fuck it.. im not even into new age music at all... im like so damn closed minded when it comes to music xD u should check out CandleMass (Doom Metal) or like old deicide... if u havent listened to old deicide already... the new deicide is nothing compared to the old >:3

[TehNoobinShow]

@mechajesus2000 Listened to both of them, Deicide is pretty good just a bit too black for me..CandleMass is waaay slow, that shit could be kicked up 250 BPM

[ironmaiden3103]

in flames, at the gates , dark tranquillity and arch enemy, \m/

[raudhre]

What would I do without metal \m/

[Burtonianz]

Jerk Off of course but that's not even close to Metal! :)

[TheSadKidThatSmiles]

[funnyshit905]

[theaxelofrose]

[FluminenseBresciano]

1:34 name of the song please!!!!!!

[Vosischt]

Ensiferum - Token Of Time

[Otorigami]

..."10 great melodic death metal songs" ....huh.....I don't see Arsis. You realize this is a crime, right? Punishable by failure?

[SelfProclaimedGamer]

@Otorigami He also fails to include At the Gates, which is probably better than this lot added together...

[Steelmaniak]

at the gates isn't even that good, you have alot better old school meloidc death metal bands

[SelfProclaimedGamer]

I must apologize, I always fail to remember not to say that 'This is the best music' or 'This is the worst music', someone always disagrees >_> Example: I may think that At the Gates is the best band in the history of Melo-death, while you think other bands own their ass -- so we can't say that a band IS good, we can say that we THINK it's good...

[Steelmaniak]

oooh you don't have to apoligize, everyone has his own oppinion :)

[skyhigh2k]

@SelfProclaimedGamer: Word

[NYRangersfan23]

@SelfProclaimedGamer but at the gates IS the best of melodeath so therefore you are wrong ;p

[AvernuM1]

Cryptic Wintermoon aren't mdm.. they're melodic black

[monsieurmetaldu91]

gates of ishtar is the best <3

[LiMaUmZaXoR]

ye ensiferum is folk viking lol

[MajsterodtapetLoL]

In flames's da best cuz the rest sounds same...thx :D

[AntipaladinPedigri]

@Gothichaar19 Wait, sorry, that didn't sound like the vocalist of Norther.

[AntipaladinPedigri]

@Gothichaar19 I agree, but the vocalist sings in Norther, which is Melodeath. He assumed that he sings in his genre, just as Christian Alvestam does.

[norik0]

the guy on catmenais voice is so fkn annoying.. i like the first band.. gonna look em up!

[Rednecksnapples]

they broke up or something changed their name to Made of Hate pretty good stuff

ensiferum is great. rest is decent/mediocre.

[Gurgum666]

Good musictaste, dude! \,,/

[Sucmawang]

Who really cares if half of them aren't death metal? You should just be glad with the fact that it's good music.

So no need to be a prick pal.

[IHateSebastianCoe]

Nice? Hmm. Yes, I suppose if you ignore the fact that half the bands aren't death metal at all, it's nice.

[MegaNeverwinter]

heh you're right.. wait shit isnt the title MELO FUCKING DEATH METAL??

[Sucmawang]

Oh and fuckin' nice vid Skyhigh.

[Slip92KoRn]

PS.  suck my Dick?

Faggot -.-

[tirouge0]

There's a lot of powermetal in there...

You should start listening Archons! They kick ass and playing pure melodic/tech metal!!

[lorent123]

I'm more a thrash metal listener but i kinda like most of those bands sound, the only thing is that all of these bands have a very similar sound... maybe it's cause i don't know them but the vocals are very similar at least. Take for example the difference between Exodus, anthrax, overkill, Slayer and Megadeth (i chose the big names cause i'm not sure everybody knows Toxik, Heathen, Pariah or Lääz Rockit)

[Kadzait1]

Devin Townsend

Strapping young lad.

These songs you showed are mainly screamo.

[Gravija1980]

KALMAH!!! SWAMP METAL IS KING!!!

[kalmahman48]

GO KALMAH!!!

Ensiferum is Folk/Viking Metal

They still deserve to be in here though.

Nice songs

[Bounasieau]

YEAAAAAHHHHH Ensiferum is melodic death metal!! xD Okay I'm sorry but their music more like something heroic viking folk metal or what:P

[896423658]

imperanon : hellyeah!

[epicus666]

Dumd ass! there aren`t any melodic death metal genre.

[hoodedraider]

dumd ass.. sounds cool to say that when trying to shut one up

[Gravija1980]

F yeah - KALMAH! Hollowheart is probably their best solo, however (to be critical). But you can never go wrong with THE SWAMP LORDS!!!

[Willthedisturbed1]

[BrianJFAC92]

[InExtremo09]
