any other death heads?

[Toozey]

Was it like Darkthrone-style production? Or was it just oddly done? I haven't heard it for myself...

The guitar tone has fairly high mids and doesn't sound tinny like most bands go for. It's a much more organic sound. Extremely heavy though.

[Tools of Skatan]

Gah I hate that high mid guitar sound. I know that scooped sound is heavily associated with Nu-Metal and a lot of other "uncool" genres but some bands would sound 10x heavier if they just scooped their ****ing guitars.

[jcs497]

Yea, it's true......It sounds a little better if you just blast the bass on your CD player/whatever. What I hate about some production is when the vocals completely overbears the guitars, or likewise.

[manuscriptreplica]

The WBTV is a very full sound, almost like a wall. Very crushing effect. Now for a production that sucks big time, check Spheres by Pestilence

[ninjamonkey]

And MetalFan to say the production on Worlds Beyond The Veil is "mediocre" then it just shows how little you actaully listen or know about production values.
I disagree.

[jcs497]

Well, for my next CD run, I guess I'll need some:
Theory in Practice
Spiral Architect
Nile (or whatever brutal death is better)

Any suggestions for particular albums?

Also, I was talking about this with chosens, but the 9th song on "In the Nightside of the Ecipse" (I think it's called "a Fine Day to Day"), what era/what does it sound the most like from Emperor? I know it wasn't originally supposed to be on the album, so it may have been made later?

Well Spiral Architect only have the one full-length (so far?), A Sceptic's Universe. For Nile, my preferred album is Black Seeds of Vengeance. But then I've not heard most of In Their Darkened Shrines.

Advanced track from the new Cephalic Carnage album! (http://66.235.201.198/audio/Cephalic_Carnage_-_Dying_Will_Be_the_Death_of_Me.mp3)

Definately more Lucid Interval-esque, but very melodic. Reminds me of Biolich in some parts actually. I'm not entirely sure if I would like a whole album of this yet.

[bob the ripper apple.]

alright thanks

[bassaholica2004]

I saw Arghoslent mentioned earlier, and I just have to say that they are probably one of the best melodic DM bands I've heard. Very good stuff.

Can anyone recommend me some Enslaved/ Wood of Ypres- style bands? I'm trying to get my friend into good metal, and these seem to be the bands she likes so far. So any bands with melodic, acoustic, folk-ish, whatever things in them, lemme have em.

I haven't heard Enslaved or Woods of Ypres, but your "acoustic, folk-ish" description matches Agalloch pretty well. I also want to check out Arghoslent, I've heard good things.

I just made a playlist of stuff that I need to listen to more often and put it on shuffle. I hate getting into a rut of listening to the same band over and over, but it happens a lot. :(

My news of this weekend: Failures For Gods still totally rules.

[ninjamonkey]

Ok, prove me wrong.
Ok, I always thought whether an album was produced well (technically produced well, not whether it fit the album or created a nice atmosphere or whether I liked it) was a fact thing and not an opinion thing. Apparently though, you have proved me wrong b/c you think it was produced well (again, produced technically well, not just produced in a good atmospheric way). For example, people can enjoy Darkthrone's black metal production b/c it fits the album well/creates a good atmosphere, but if you say it is technically produced well, then you are just wrong.

Anyway, I don't like the Worlds Beyond the Veil production because the whole thing sounds very muddy to me. In addition, I think the drum sound (not the beats, the actual sound) is terrible, and even more so on the drum tracks available without the guitars and vocals and bass. And I don't like the guitar tone. I don't think it sounds crushing, I think it sounds very honky. The distorted guitar tone just sounds very muddy to me. It's not clear or cutting.

Despite all this, I still like the album. However, I like Forever Advancing ..... Legions more.

I searched Bit Torrent though, and my local stores have nothing.

Heh,just came home from a lil mini gig with me band.We played 3 songs: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,Blue Trane and Schnappi.Went quite well,even though I doubt our crowd appreciated SBS as much as the song deserves and I totally fücked up the leads in Blue Trane.Thank god I was doubling with a saxophone,so nobody noticed...

I need one of their CD's, they rule.

[Ve Das]

Yep,it´s off John Coltrane.We rearranged it a bit so that everybody could solo but pretty much stuck to the original.

Schnappi´s the song with the "little crocodile" and we pulled it off with Rita(usually saxophone) doing the little girl vox with a sax fill in the chorus and Flobo and me putting a standard poprock rhythm behind it on guitar.We´re also thinkin´about doing either a Ska or "Frank Sinatra" version of that song.Too bad our sax and drummer didn´t want to do the pornogrind version :D

[NJMetalMeister]

That Schnappi song is so annoying, i really dont know how it made it to #1 on the german charts. I just laugh my *** off every time i hear it here.

[Kurtz]

Pre-Dead.

[atremore]

I just bought Crematory's "...Just Dreaming" album over eBay. I had never heard them before, and so this is only my first impression. I think it's a pretty original death/ doom metal album for its time, although it seemed to grow a little thin towards the end.

Could anyone here reccomend me some essential Crematory listening?

[Cardboard Headgear]

Haha, of what I remember hearing of Crematory, one of the singers sounds like Cookie Monster. I don't mean in the cliched "all death metal bands sound like they have the cookie monster singing for them HAHAHAHAH I'M BOTH ORIGINAL AND HILARIOUS", I mean he actually sounded like the muppet.

PS: Ok, so my car was stolen yesterday, and as if that doesn't suck enough, my copy of Aspera Hiems Symfonia (which I just bought, as it is extremely hard to find around here) was in there. My entire Enslaved, Dream Theater, and Opeth cd collections are now gone, along with about 20 other various cds. And, you know, the ****ing car. ************

Do you have insurance? If so you should get the CD's, or at least the money for the CD's back. And the car might turn up somewhere with all the CD's still intact, if it were a non-metal fan I doubt they would have any use for it. Hope every goes well.

Tru dat, I just wish the production was better. I'm used to bad production by now, but on this album everything is so weak. The drums sound like **** especially. That probably could have been one of if not their top album if the production had been done well. :( Oh well, it still deserves a listen from any metalhead IMO.

A truly stunning band, on a par with Arghoslent. The side-project of some of the members, Hammers of Misfortune, is also glorious. I would reccomend Twlight of the Idols by The Lord Weird Slough Feg, and The August Engine by Hammers of Misfortune.

just out of curiousity, what other Bands do u guys listen to other then Death Metal or Heavy metal?

I am a classic rock fan and other bands i listen to=

R.A.T.M
Black Sabbath
Enslaved
Opeth
Dream theater

and some others

Iron Maiden
Pink Floyd
Overkill
Black Sabbath
Anthrax

[Imperial Necro]

In order to re-bump this thread....

Should I get some pre-dead or post-dead Mayhem? I've only heard De Mysteriis...

Everyone will say pre-Dead, and some of them will only say it because pre-Dead is supposed to be tr00er. Half of them can't even hear Dead through the production. ;)

Their production with Euronymous on vocals (early, early, early) is even more raw, and it is quite frankly, balls. That must mean something, coming from me.

So whatever, but if you think such clearly produced albums like Transylvanian Hunger, and Under a Funeral Moon are raw sounding, and you find it hard to hear certain instruments in the mix, leave the tr00 **** for a while and buy Deathcrush or De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. Don't buy anything after those albums though, they truly are bollocks.

[LordDargon]

Get Out From The Dark. The production is crystal clear. Dead is also on vocals.

The song he was reviewing is from Colonising the Sun.

I'm glad that another guy here likes Slough Feg. I've recently traded a blaze in the northern sky for twilight of the idols and I must say it's even better than traveller! So Bartender, if you liked the song I sent you I think you should try one of these, they are far more representative I think: high season II, pangs of ulster, brave connor mac, the wickerman, life in the dark age.

YOU'VE PLAYED WITH SLOUGH FEG!? Jeez, you're such a lucky man, please give some more details!

[Jondur]

Yeah - We supported them last year in London. Was a really fun gig to play - they were really nice chaps, interested in our music and we had a good laugh with them. Excellent musicians - Scalzi really can play the guitar you know.

Played with Solstice too. But they supported us! Mwuah hahahaha! Which was a mistake cos they destroyed us! But then they did play for so long over their stage time that we only had time for three songs (note: that still makes half an hour!).

Played with quite a few good bands actually. Solstice were the best musically (but then I love Solstice), Anathema was the biggest crowd (but then they soundchecked for an hour and half - mainly dicking around playing bad Metallica covers - so we barely had time to get our stuff on stage before we had to play, Akercocke had the best stage presence, Necropsy were the best swedish band to come from near Manchester, Hecate Enthroned had the most ridiculous demands (wouldn't arrive in the daylight), The Blood Divine sounded most like a boogie-woogie band (bad keyboard sounds!) and Honey for Christ were the best laugh.

Well, I don't know what to think. I know the guy I interviewed with and I think it was a good interview, but it was pretty short.

Is the vocals on Amorphis' "Elegy" the low growling like off of "Tales From the Thousand Lakes", or is it the more clear style like on the newer albums??

Having now actually listened to it, that is a good song.

So then it's just like "Tales From the Thousand Lakes"??

[MurderNArson]

I'm really more a fan of death metal's melodic side...

In Flames
Arch Enemy
Children of Bodom (really more thrash than death metal)
Opeth
etc....

[bassaholica2004]

What would you guys recommend for Darkthrone? I want their rawest, most extreme album. Its an itch I haven't been able to scratch yet, and I hear good things about Darkthrone, but I've never had the chance to listen to em.

Get any one of these albums, they are by far their best albums...

A Blaze in the Northern Sky
Under a Funeral Moon
Transilvanian Hunger (recommend this because its a classic and all black metal fans should have it)

But anyone of those albums will do...

[LegionsofMarduk]

A Blaze In The Northern Sky is the quinessential black metal album. If you only check out 1 tr00 black metal album ever, it should be that one. That said...I still prefer Transylvanian Hunger.

[Cardboard Headgear]

If you like melo-death, check out the Swedish band Dissection. Easily the best of any melo-death bands
Why do peole think Dissection are melo-death, let alone death in the first place? They sure as hell don't sound like death metal, now do they?

[Freezing Moon]

Why do peole think Dissection are melo-death, let alone death in the first place? They sure as hell don't sound like death metal, now do they?

I've heard them called that about four times since I've been in this thread. It's melodic black right?


If I'm wrong I will sound extremely retarded.

On M-A, they say that Transilvanian Hunger is the the most grim, cold, sorrowful album DT put out, and thats exactly what I'm looking for. Which should I get?

[Freezing Moon]

I think Transylvanian Hunger. It's my favorite.

[halfdeadhippo]

From what I remember about those two albums, (before I accidentally deleted them :() Transylvanian Hunger was more of a simplistic, grim, recorded at 2am in a forest on an answering machine kind of thing, and A Blaze in the Northern Sky was more like thrash with a lot of "AHHH!!!" and blast beats. Both are good in their own ways, so it is up to you, depending on which style you think you'd prefer.

[manuscriptreplica]

*death metal

TH is the best, but I like Under a Funeral Moon better. Should be getting that Darkthrone tattoo soon as well :)

That's awesome.. I think if I got a tatoo I wouldn't get a band though. It would suck to get sick of them.

Yeah man, just get like a 5 year one or something.

I recommend listening to Tsjuder, their music is true and brutal! ):<

UaFM is my favorite by them.

I saw "Ravishing Grimness" at a local shop for $7.50. Is it worth picking up?

[LegionsofMarduk]

I've got Kill For Satan. It's ok, but by far not my favorite.

[LordDargon]

UaFM is amazing :eek:

NP: Nattassia in Eternal Sleep

[Dark Hero]

I finally got "A Celebration of Guilt" in the mail today, amazing stuff, "Maddening Disdain" is my favorite so far.

[Bartender]

I still haven't heard anything by Arsis.

[6Stringer]

I'm not sure if Atheist is considered death metal are they? Also what are some good songs by Atheist to listen to?

[Bartender]

Yep, they are.

Songs;
Mother Man
Unquestionable Presence
Air
Green
Water
And the Psychic Saw
On They Slay
Beyond

[6Stringer]

Any place where I can find the mp3s to download, I can't find them on Warez.

[sensitiveorgan00]

You shouldn't have too much trouble finding them using Soulseek.

Also, Piece of Time and I Deny are good Atheist songs.

[bassaholica2004]

OK, I got Transilvanian Hunger, and its great. The production weirded me out for about half the first song, but then I got used to it. Pretty good stuff, the vocals are great. Its not as brutal or raw as I was hoping though, but its a great album to kick back to. I'll try and pick up some more next time I go to the store.

yeah ...TH is a great album but I dunno it's something about Darkthrone that makes me like them less than Emperor or Mayhem
Just a bit less subtle I think

[Toozey]

Darkthrone are good, no nonsense.

[Lord Abortion]

yeah I love them but not as much as emperor or mayhem...
different sort of BM though... less symphonic than emperor and more anti- christian (lyrics wise) than mayhem

Is that ABitNS, UaFM, and TH?

I would just like to emphasize how good my area is for concerts right now.

We just had Arsis, the Chasm, and Incantation in January.
Last night was Entombed and Crowbar
Not too far away we have Cryptopsy, Amorphis, Into Eternity, Overkill, Zakk Wylde, Sonata Arctica, King Diamond, Nile, The Black Dahlia Murder, Behemoth, Strapping Young Lad, Soilwork, Dark Tranquillity, Hypocrisy

(I'm just listing the bands I think some of you might like)

Yeah.

Go on slsk plz I need that Mortuary :)

[Corporal Compendia]

Then find a place to buy it, ya leech.

So I've finally settled my credit card/plane problems. This guy is OFFICIALLY! going to the Maryland Death Fest, and he's OFFICIALLY! listening to Grand Belial's Key right now!

Amazing ****.

EDIT: Does anyone have any Trails Of Anguish or Winter Bestowed demos shared on either dc++ or Soulseek?

I'll second that. Sons of Northern Darkness is what got me into Black metal. Great album.

[br3ad_man]

I'll check them out then, I've only heard full albums by Mayhem and Darkthrone and a scattering of songs from other bands. Manuscript gave me this band on MSN the other day and they were epic black metal or something and they ruled. Forgotten their name though.

I think Mayhem and Darkthrone is rushing into the genre a bit to fast...

[Lord Abortion]

Thus Defiled, they were, that Astaroth song owns big time
Didn't thus defiled support mayhem in london last year?

[Jondur]

I've thought fo the last ten years or so that it's criminal how underrated and undernoticed Thus Defiled are. In 94 it looked like both the AND Cradle were going to go skyhigh but it just never happened for Thus Defiled. I guess it was the lack of image but hey they're a lot more tr00 - I remember one of their old guitarists telling me an amusing story of proper Norwegian style church desecration. How he didn't get caught I don't know because he had hair that was so huge, Shane Embury would have laughed and pointed.

lol yeah, I just listened to the 3 Mayhem tracks from "Live In Leipzig" that I've had for a while (Funeral Fog, Freezing Moon and. Well, I'm very very scared. That Dead guy is going to give me nightmares. His vocals make him sound like some dude who is going to come and kill me! I don't think I'll be listening to them very much, the dude sounds like Satan.

Is there much black metal that doesn't sound like it's coming from hell? I like that song on "The Sham Mirrors" with the vocalist from Emperor, "Radical Cut". So yeah, I'd prefer black metal that isn't totally evil...I am a christian after all, so music that's pretty much anti everything I believe isn't something I'd want to be listening to regularly, unless it's really really incredible.

freezing moon is perhaps the greatest BM song ever IMO

Just check out Immortal first, they have more lyrics about the north and vikings and such and have more of a really cold feeling to their music.

And if you would like any samples, ask me on aim or msn and I can send some stuff.

It's too bad they don't get the recognition they deserve. Their stuff is hard to find. I've got Through The Impure Veil of Dawn and Wings Of The Nightstorm, but those are the only 2 I've ever seen. And I got those from eBay. Wings Of The Nightstorm is an ACE album.

br3ad_man-Check out Naglfar. They're a bit more melodic black metal. Excellent stuff. Check out their albums Diabolical and Vittra.

Congrats, buddy!

[Jondur]

Congratulations Legions. Hope it all goes well in the new position.

[Hellion462606]

Man if those bands are death metal (not very good with the genre thing) count me in.

Sepultura
Morbid Angel
Cannibal Corpse
Meshuggha
Lamb of God
Slayer
Arch Enemy
Vader
Mushroomhead
(I saw In Flames on the board. Are they really considered death? They don't sound very much like the other bands people mentioned.)

Some of them may not be death and I'm sure I listen to some I didn't think of, but oh well screw it **** it and **** it to hell.

[HappyMarshmellow]

Mushroomhead is not death.

What I've heard from Meshuggah leads me to believe it's more industrial than anything, but no opinion on that.

Lamb of God is very weak death metal. Sepultura was death metal back when they started. Arch Enemy is melodic death.

Slayer is thrash, no doubt about it.

But you hit the nail on the head with Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, and Vader (even though earlier Vader was much more thrash, now they are one of the best Polish death metal bands)

[Dancin' Man]

I hate Vader's vocals though. The singer is just awful. He sounds like he's constipated.

I've been classifying Meshuggah as Progressive Industrial Metal for a while now and it seems pretty accurate.

To Legions - rep for the Naglfar recommendation and for the job.

I think I'll need to find some Thus Defiled now, too.

[Jondur]

I love Peters vocals. He does that great RIYYAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH type thing. isten to the song "Wings" to see wht I mean.

[Toozey]

[Dancin' Man]

When I get home I'll listen. I have an album or two of Vader's on my computer. I love the band except for him but maybe it just takes getting used to his voice.

I love his vocals, Raining Blood was great with his vocals.

I see what you mean with the constipated sound, but i think it compliments their crushing sound.

[Cardboard Headgear]

^^ Dawn's Soil Of Dead Earth is the first one that comes to mind, and Ride The Wings Of Pestilence is another of theirs. Enslaved's Lifandi Liv Undir Hamri is good for headbanging as well as running around in a forest with corpsepaint. Lots of Enslaved is headbangable, actually.

At least they got a good choice for replacement guitarist. Is it permanant or just for the tour? If he's permanant, that'll be great because Gorguts has one of the coolest styles in DM IMO.

And yes, Enlsaved are usually pretty headbang-able. The drummer is a monster and has a really unique style of mixing extreme styles and folkish styles. Great stuff.

[Bartender]

Burzum, when he actually was black metal (you know, with guitars), is pretty headbangable.

Black metal is not for headbanging!

Die, scum-ov-Krist!

Or...

If you use Soulseek, try and get some Torgeist (of the LLN). I can headbang to Torgeist.

Also; Immortal - Unholy Forces of Hell.

"WWWWWWWOOOWWW WOW WOW WOW!!!"

I must agree, if you want the really headbangable stuff, you have to go with thrash metal. Check into the Titans of Thrash thread.

But if you just wanted headbangable black metal, ignore this. :thumb:

[Deathcrush]

Or if he wants blackened thrash, I recommend Toxic Holocaust or Bestial Mockery.

I got a Bestial Mockery tape last week. It's awesome. :D

[LordDargon]

I aspire to someday be as tr00 as you, goatleader. :upset:

Other blackened thrash:
Desaster
Sauron
Destroyer 666
Aura Noir

I'm assuming he's heard the classics (early Sodom, Kreator, Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer etc)

[Lord Abortion]

anybody got enemy of God by kreator?

[Toozey]

anybody got enemy of God by kreator?

I bought it, not bad not bad.

[LordDargon]

I would recommend a download rather than a purchase since only two of the songs really grab you by the throat. (Title track and World Anarchy)

Well I'm off now.

I GOT IT!

I got the job I interviewed for earlier this week! I thought I was in trouble at first because when I got back to my desk I had an e-mail from my boss that just said "See me". So I thought I was in trouble because she had seen me go outside for a smoke break. But we went to talk to the guy I interviewed with and as of next week I'll no longer be in Engineering department. I'll be in Product Development as a Product Develoopment Research Designer! [/off topic]

NP: Mithras - Sloping Alters

Hey awesome man... you're playing Mithras! Nah, congrats on the job :chug:

Yeah, Jon Levasseur left Cryptopsy. He's being replaced by the guitarist from Gorguts. It should sound interesting, a mix between the 2 bands.

EDIT: Since I don't feel like double posting, I'll add to this post:

What are some black metal songs that are headbangable? Most black metal makes me want to sit there and be really angry. I mean songs like Immortal - Tyrants. That riff is t3h r0x0r.

Darkthrone's rock and roll songs are essential black metal headbangers, I'm talking about Det Svarter Na and Sjakk Matt Desu Krist. Rockin'

Usurper
Infernal Majesty
Abigail
Gravewurm (Hellhammer-esque)

Does anyone know if Stormlord is good, I haven't heard them, but I like their cover art. :)

[clayman112388]

I have some noob questions:

What is the difference between death and black metal?
And what is Gothenberg death metal?

EDIT: I know what bands are Gothenberg and such, but I don't know exactly what the sub-genres specifically are.

I'm not an expert but here goes:
Black - Anti-Christian lyrics most of the time, relatively high pitched screams and sometimes using synths for atmosphere.

Death - Usually more technical, lower growls, no synths.

[manuscriptreplica]

Bass and drums are more noticeable in death metal. Black metal, msot of the time, don't staccato notes (or shorten notes) they let them ring until the next chord is played

I just love whoring this, because it's easier than explaining it myself.

Death Metal
Death metal is the opposite end of the spectrum from doom metal. There are a few different schools of death metal. Generally speaking though, the music is fast, aggressive, low. The bass line is usually more pronounced than in other metal sub-genres. The vocal style is trademark to death metal. Usually vocals are growled or grunted. Blast beat drums are very prevalent. The most common misconception is that death metal is all about death and gore and killing and the likes. This is most certainly not the case. While many bands do sing about this type of thing, there are tons of great bands that do not limit themselves to lyrics like that. Lyrics can range to include religion, spirituality, fantasy and beyond. The music can range from the very aggressive and brutal (Aborted, Iniquity, Suffocation) to the more melodic (Ebony Tears, At The Gates) to the very technical (Atheist, Cynic). Key bands: Lykathea Aflame, Mithras, Morbid Angel, Behemoth (older stuff was black metal), Opeth, Immolation, Blood Red Throne, Entombed, Unleashed, Sinners Bleed.

Melodic death metal
An obvious sub-genre to death metal, it's becoming popular enough that I think it deserves it's own little section. Basically, it incorporates more melody. What it lacks in brutallity, it more than makes up for in melodic grooves. The vocals are typically not as harsh, there may or may not be as many blast beats. Key Bands: At The Gates, In Flames, Ebony Tears, Carcass (Heartwork mainly), Aeternus, Amon Amarth, Kalmah, Norther.

Black Metal
My own personaly favorite and particular area of expertise. Black metal and death metal are quite closely related. While death is focused on the shear brutallity, black metal is focused more on creating atmosphere. The music is typically higher pitched with less of a bass line. Some bands incorporate the use of keyboards or synthesizers. The production is quite often pretty bad giving it a raw or "trOO necro" quality. Tremelo picking abounds, blast beats are not as prevalent as in death metal but are still there quite often. The vocals are generally high pitched shreiked or screamed. The music can range from the "trOO necro" bands (Darkthrone) to the more melodic (Naglfar) to the very sophisticated orchestral atmospheric (Arcturus). A common misconception about black metal is that all the bands are Satanist and sing about Satan. While many bands are Satanic or anti-christian (note the distinct difference), that is not the case with all black metal bands. Lyrics can range from Satanic to fantasy to witchcraft to just about anything. Many black metal bands are very paganistic in ideology and see the christian church as an intruder in their native lands, leading to the very deep seeded hatred for christianity. Unfortunately, black metal also has a sub-genre known as NSBM. National Socialist Black Metal. While I do listen to quite a few of those bands because I like the music, lyrically many black metal bands are very racist against not only Blacks or Jews, but anyone of non-aryan decent. Key bands: Burzum, Mayhem, Darkthrone, Nargaroth, Emperor, Bathory, Immortal, Beherit, Graveland, Gorgoroth, Moonblood, Samael.

Daniel Mongrain was in Gorguts yes, but just a second guitarist... he didn't do too much writing. His own band is Martyr, which is a lot different than Gorguts.
Dan M. is just helping out with the tour though anyways.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Does anyone know if Stormlord is good, I haven't heard them, but I like their cover art.

They are quite good, 'At The Gates of Utopia' is very good symphonic black metal.

The main point of this point of this post is that I regret to inform the MX community (Especially Legions) That the vocalist of Blood Stained Dusk, Daggeth was killed in a car accident about two weeks ago. :(
R.I.P.

Wow. First Dimebag, then (*checks spelling*) Talarczyk, and now him too. He wasn't exactly old either, was he?

Wow, thank you!

But anyway, what is Gothenberg?

I know that it's bands like At The Gates, In Flames, and Dark Tranquillity, but could someone explain the difference between it and Melodeath to me? And aren't Kalmah power metal?

[clayman112388]

Ouch, that really sucks.

Black Dahlia Murder are not extreme
Then neither are At the Gates.
I'm not an expert but here goes:
Black - Anti-Christian lyrics most of the time, relatively high pitched screams and sometimes using synths for atmosphere.

Death - Usually more technical, lower growls, no synths.
Death can use synths too.

Gothenburg is the same as melo-death.
It's power metal with some death influence.

Melodic Death is Death metal with power influence. Basically just death metal with more melody than usual thrown in.
