MeloDeath

Gothenburg project with Niclas Engelin, who has been involved in In Flames and The Halo Effect

Technical/Melodic Deaths Metal from Quebec

Melodic Death Metal from Japan that reminds me quite a bit of Children of Bodom, maybe also old In Flames a bit.

Off the album Time Tears Down. Big Children of Bodom vibes in this one, and probably why I return to it (and this album) so much. Chefskiss.

Symphonic Metal / Melodic Death Metal from Toulouse

Song was already on a 1991 demo and a 1992 single before it became the opener of the 1993 album "A Velvet Creation"

Some classic melodeath from the 90s.

Probably not for everyone who enjoys melodeath, but imho this is quite a neat combination of electronic music and melodic death metal.

from one of the first melodeath albums

My favourite track off this album by far. Be'lakor sometimes gets criticized for longer compositions that seem meandering by more poppy conventions, but sometimes you just need tunes you can sink into, immerse yourself in.

RIP Alexi. Definitely wrote some of the catchiest stuff this genre has to offer without using clean vocals and while also pulling lots of people into this type of music.

RIP Tomas

Comic Sans is a fascinating font choice for a metal album. Nevertheless it's a great record.

MDM/OSDM hybrid, gritty yet beautiful stuff

beautiful stuff from the early Gothenburg scene
