Talented but little-known MDM/neothrash bands

1. Raintime (Italy; power metal + mdm)
2. Dominia (Russia; symphonic mdm)
3. Maroon (Germany; metalcore)
4. Dawn of Tears (Spain; mdm)
5. MyGrain (Finland; metalcore + mdm)
6. Kill the Romance (Finland; mdm)
7. Horizon 8 (Russia; metalcore + mdm)
8. Naildown (Finland; mdm)

(intro by Mercenary (Denmark; prog-influenced mdm + power))

edit: okay, I finally got it, the word 'metalcore' is really too far out of place here (it took me quite long though o_O), but for different reasons than those stated.
Anyway, my bad :)

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.

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.

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.

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
