Talented but little-known MDM/neothrash bands

[mettodaniel666]

anyone can tell me what is MDM metal?

[VODKAGOCRAZY1991]

i heard a lot of these bands, great to know other ppl also listen to them

[SOJESUILBRETOL]

DAWN OF TEARS!!!!! GREAT!!!!!

I have downloaded their both albums for free on their website...

[Spiderpact]

i'm SO sick of people saying "metalcore/melodic death metal." they are NOT the same thing! get out of the ignorant, know nothing scene you dumb ass wipes. learn what you're listening to.

[squeezy1311]

Dude, first off, drop your voice and learn to express yourself properly. Dare I ask you to point out where I've equated them? Or how do they exlude each other? I'd be most curious to hear it.

Now, just a technical quesion: whose influence has made old-school mdm and modern mdm (which the video is actually about) almost entirely different genres, besides that of neothrash? HINT: the answer is -core word.

Being 'i-fucking-know-everything' barely adds any validity to your words.

[Spiderpact]

Oh I believe I've expressed myself quite nicely thanks. The point is this: A lot of metal fans, myself included, look on the genre "core" with absolute and utter contempt. I'd go one step further and say that it is the BANE of heavy music. To see "metalcore" as an acceptable form of heavy music is bad enough, but it is constantly being labeled as "metalcore/melodic death metal" which disgraces ACTUAL mdm. Like what you want, I'm just out to keep the genre's separate, cause hardcore sucks turd

[squeezy1311]

Gotta admit, it's difficult to argue against the point like "hardcore sucks turd". I also fail to see your perception of "ACTUAL mdm" - modern scene is greatly influenced by other genres streaks, mosh riffing in particular. You may like it or not but attempts to deny obvious rather indicate close-mindness.

What actually deserves contempt is the current tendency of labeling any simplified stuff as metalcore, majority of those bands having nothing to do with it. The whole term is botched up now.

[personman48]

check out shadow law

[lp502]

man dude mygrain is sick ima start listening to them

[12061988]

why didnt you mention MERCENARY, when u play their song Soul Decision!!!!

Progressive Melo-Death Metal \m/ from Denmark Yeah.

[squeezy1311]

Well, that's because they dont really fall under the concept of the video.

But yeah, they rule hard ;p

Reference added to the details. Thanks for watching =)

[12061988]

I was kinda surprised to hear their song in this cool video and I think it's great to see someone who cares for Mercenary (my favorite Metal band), because only few know about them and their awsome music.

thumbs up for you :P

[Killergold88]

pretty cool, they were all pretty good, but i have some here too, try out the bands Neaera, Heaven Shall Burn, Deadlock, and Sonic Syndicate

all good bands like these ones that not a lot of people know alot about

[BlueShark45]

This has been in my favorites since I came to YT and I still come back and listen to the selections.

They all have a unique sound and I especially like the melodic song by Dominia,the violin is fantastic.

Raintime,MyGrain and Naildown all rock.

[NeAerA90]

maroon dude...true german metalcore

[killsX]

Awesome bands... i just have heard about xMarooNx...

great job dude..

check my top vids. u may like them..

Grettings From Southamerica.. =)

[BlueShark45]

It is interesting to hear bands like you have here and talk with people like yourself to better understand the difference in so many types of metal music.Another band I like is Loch Vostok.Not everything they do is to my liking but they deserve more attention.

One of my interests is knowing where these bands are from.

[squeezy1311]

Loch Vostok sounds good, btw! I'll find more from them. Good prog death isnt so often occurrence ) Thanks!

[BlueShark45]

I am new here to YouTube and also new to modern metal.

I grew up listening to Sabbath,Deep Purple,Status Quo and The Guess Who.

Then in the mid 70's it was Judas Priest and Scorpians.The 80's is where I really got serious with Accept,The Rods,Krokus,Iron Maiden and Metal Church.

Only in the last few days have I been introduced to bands such as Soilwork,In Flames and Strapping Young Lad.

It is amazing how serious people are about the catagory of the music.

It all seems like metal to me.

[squeezy1311]

Thanks for the substantial comment!

Well, notwithstanding my channel being dedicated almost entirely to modern metal (which is really a noticable part of my taste), i'm not at all a stranger to the classic. One does no harm to other :)

As for me, there's nothing wrong with being specific about the genre, it gives you some orientation. Unless you forget that genre label is not the only orientation you have, it helps to not get lost. I dont really care about where my music belongs :)

[666Desolate999]

Most melodeth bands nowadays are just recycaling inflames riffs or Cob shit,,it's hard to find truly original bands,,

[Shadowrikky]

Raintime,Dawn of Tears naildow!! fuck ya!

awesome video dude!!

[19ScreaM88]

i want to listening screamo no opera shit but hey thx anyway

[phr4n]

Saw maroon live a few months ago, they were ok but nothing too special. guess I was overcome by darkest hour and as I lay dying

[torturemethodsean]

i wouldn't consider ANY of these bands "metalcore". most of them were goth.....then 1980's thrash style....the new school. then the rest are just plain old metal .

[squeezy1311]

Thanks for the relevant criticism =)

Well, defining the genre is slippery ground, that's why i generally tried to tend to the way the bands position themselves. Goth... except for Dominia i dont see anything appreciably influenced by gothic there. Thrash... I partly agree but metalcore doesnt necessarily include melodeath elements. There's no clean metalcore though, i agree. And perhaps some of the songs dont completely reflect the primary band's sound, my bad :(

[torturemethodsean]

STILL .....good job! shows you know your stuff! g'day mate! cheers!

[byakuya00]

Hmm,I'm with you yet Maroon is not that little-known coz they are under Century Media, as far as I know.

Plus,I've got some Mygrain stuff,but still not familiar with the rest. I'd better google them later.Thanks for the upload!

[squeezy1311]

Sorry for replying this late, for some reason i missed your comment before :( Yeah, i've just checked lastfm and i gotta say 700k plays is not bad for the unknown band :) My bad. Thanks for your comment!

[JimboIsYourGod]

I especialy like horizon 8

[JimboIsYourGod]

I definately favourited and 5 starred this vid

[JimboIsYourGod]

MY fucking god......ALL of these bands are absolutely AMAZING!! I will definately have to get their music. Cheers for uploading them my friend!!

[squeezy1311]

Thanks, mate, I really appreciate your comment! As well as your channel :)

[DdragonforceF]

That first song fucking pawned dude =)

[go2he33]

Yea dude these songs fucking pawn even though the bands are not as famous as the likes of Bodom, kalmah, dark tranquillity etc

[Oxgar]

I'm so glad that you put Kill the Romance in this video! It's my favourite band! One of the great bands that come from Lahti! Check out Before the Dawn, Profane Omen and Tuoni if you still haven't! Lahti metal is the best there is!

[squeezy1311]

Some of BtD I used to listen to some time ago, sounds a bit commercial to me but not bad ) Tuoni I didnt very like.

Thanks for Profane Omen - never heard of them before, and from what I found on the youtube I have to give em a closer look!

[SilverXXL]

These Bands sound amazing!

Check out the Band 'Neaera' from Germany (mdm + Metalcore)

They are also very good.

[squeezy1311]

Thanks. Deathcore is not really my type of music but these guys have a kickass instrumental )

[SilverXXL]

So what about 'Misery Speaks'?

Also mdm and also from Germany.

I subscribed you :)

[squeezy1311]

Not bad. They definitely have what it takes to be good metalcore - true vigor and dynamic. Imo, they need to be a little more distinctive. But their sound I liked )

[mogoliapowah]

Mygrain For the win!

[ProgMetalRulz]

Raintime fucking rules!!!

[squeezy1311]

True that. Strange as it may seem, but it is them that I started listening to metal from.

[andrewisagenius]

Naildown rule so hard.

[Conek07]

Good Bands!

myGRAIN! IS THE SHIT!!!!!

[ullevafan]

Good job!

And its true, these bands don't get the attention they deserve.

MyGrain is one my favourite bands :)
