08.21.15 | Slaughter is massively overrated. Jester is pretty overrated. The Gallery is kinda overrated. Heartwork destroys them all. |

08.22.15 | edge of sanity released spectral sorrows in august 1993 before 2 of the three even released anything apart from demos, at the gates were old school dm and dark tranquillity more thrash than death at that time, nightfall released a pretty melodic album in 1992 and carcass eps with songs that would later be used for heartwork in early 1993
those bands you may call pioneers did NOT invent melodeath, they only helped make it popular
dan swanö is a god anyways, so lets just say he invented the genre with spectral sorrows ok (which is btw better than any of those in the list) |
CK
08.22.15 | If we're getting into these technicalities then I'm going to go ahead and say that Dismember contributed just as greatly as Swano did. The opening riff on Dismembered practically defines what melodeath should be |
CK
08.22.15 | And yeah Heartwork pretty much trumps them all, but is it really MELOdeath? I have a hard time defining it as melodic if something like say Symbolic isn't |
trvvve
08.22.15 | symbolic isnt called melodeath because people dont want it to be
i never got why its called progressive |
trvvve
08.22.15 | maybe one or two songs got a very slight progressive touch but its basically just a more melodic and catchy version of what they did before |

Gameofmetal
08.22.15 | the gallery so hard but all three rule |
Gameofmetal
08.22.15 | oh and heartwork is worse than all three |
Hawks
08.22.15 | Nah bro Heartwork is better than The Jester Race by a pretty wide margin. At least for me. |
emester
08.22.15 | Should just be 1 vs 2 tbh |
trvvve
08.22.15 | heartwork>1>2>>>>3 agreed |
Snowdog808
08.22.15 | 1 and 2 are a hard decision but I like them more than 3 for sure. |
Snowdog808
08.22.15 | I prefer Crimson to them all though. |
PortraitsOfDecay
08.22.15 | unpopular opinion but i have to give it to slaughter, jester race and gallery are both 3.5s for me but gallery > jester race for me any day |

08.22.15 | ya honestly heartwork > |
Artuma
08.22.15 | carcass and eos aren't from gothenburg guys |
FearThyEvil
08.22.15 | the jester race for me |
trvvve
08.22.15 | implying melodeath can only be from gothenburg |
Artuma
08.22.15 | no, i'm just implying this isn't a contest for melodeath as a whole, just the pioneers of the gothenburg sound |

08.22.15 | Jester Race > Gallery >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Slaughter |
Madbutcher3
08.22.15 | Heartwork is better than all of them and has much more sophisticated writing but I guess The Gallery |
Keyblade
08.22.15 | inflameswethrash knows |
CK
08.22.15 | I wouldn't say that Heartwork is more sophisticated than The Gallery or maybe even The Jester Race, but it definitely riffs harder |
Madbutcher3
08.22.15 | I think the songwriting is tighter, less crowded and more focused, but I guess they fall into largely different styles. It's also more varied in terms of tone but eh. |
Voivod
08.22.15 | 1. Slaughter of the Soul
2. The Jester Race
3. The Gallery
If it were The Mind's I though, it would be a serious contender even for No. 1 |
someguest
08.22.15 | Heartwork does kick the shit out of these three. |
