@alexeyyegorov Clearly you never heard their album Skepsis then, and i never said the bands on this video are noise. and you clearly don't know the definiton of melodic. thank you have a good day.

[djmarchellohungary]

@OopsAaaah okay I just said not to compare trivium to the homo metalcore bands because they play really decent music, i like them even if im power/death fan

[KingKombat99]

Arch Enemy and Amon Amarth are my favorites from this list of yours Jester. I would have Bodom on my list, but it's opinion so it's fine. I saw Amon Amarth last August and I'm going to see Bodom on the 31st! \m/

[OopsAaaah]

@OopsAaaah I meant STOP COMPAIRING
