Apr 26, 2021 · Melodic death metal is a vast metal subgenre. In this article I will try to offer great bands from the many different styles; everything from old school gateway bands to unknown treasures and melodic death/doom metal bands.
- Carcass – Heartwork (1994) Arguably the point where melodic death metal became a cohesive idea, Heartwork still sounds fantastic 22 years later. Every song has at least one unforgettable hook, genius riffs come thick and fast and Colin Richardson’s production was an authentic game-changer.
- At The Gates – Slaughter Of The Soul (1995) As with Heartwork, the influence of Slaughter OF The Soul can be heard in a vast amount of metal from the last 20 years, not least the entire post-Killswitch metalcore movement in the US.
- Edge Of Sanity – Crimson (1996) A major figure in the evolution of melodic death metal, Dan Swanö has produced countless records and, with Edge Of Sanity, made several classics of his own along the way.
- Arch Enemy – Black Earth (1996) Long before Angela Gossow and later Alyssa White-Gluz led the Arch Enemy charge, Michael Amott’s ultra-melodic and old school approach to crushing skulls bore dazzling fruit.
Melodic death metal combines death metal with elements of traditional heavy metal ranging as far as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, especially melodic or harmonized guitar riffs, with the heavily distorted guitars, fast double-bass drum patterns and occasional blast beats of death metal.
