peter tagtgren from hypocrisy and seiji kakuzaki from intestine baalism are excellent vocalists who are often overlooked in this genre

Tagtgren's screechy screams are really annoying. His growls are pretty good, though, and he knows how to riff.

I do agree with this (admitting I have mostly moved on or just doesn't interest me as much anymore) but I will also be the first to tell you how much I love the odd newer melo-death release and how much a lot of it sucks at the same time.




isn't that the case with a lot of genres?

Insomnium has been one of the best melodic death metal bands as of lately. They are consistent and each album is never a let down. If anything, they get better with each album. Their latest release was being close to a masterpiece of true gothenburg melodic death metal. Amazing band and for some reason, they still surprise me every time I hear new material from them. I would say they are way too underrated.

Insomnium's new record did hit me in the heartstrings. The melancholy atmosphere really gets my shit pumped

Uh, nothing Insomnium have done has come close to touching Above the Weeping World, which is a

verifiable melodeath classic. Just putting that out there.

Since the Day It All Came Down is on par IMO. both are stellar, and far superior to everything following. The new one was pretty good though, I like it a lot more than the previous two.

It sounds like you listened to it once. After about the 3rd listen, I began to really enjoy it. Head of the Hydra is my fave on the album.

Same here man. I feel like there are lots of little moments on this album that I didn't hear the first time. And chord progressions that sounded awkward on the first listen but now sound much better and appropriate on repeated listens.

Isn't this supposed to be one of the greatest metal bands of all time?

they have a classic album, but they don't have nearly the discog size to be "one of the greatest."

Funny, I always hear their name dropped. Oh well.

Well, in all honestly, how many bands can really be called on of the greatest? Almost every band has a hit or miss discography.

They get name-dropped because they were one of the Three Kings of Swedish melodeath since they were one of the biggest influences in the early scene.

Kinda interesting that their most famous release was their fourth and last album before hiatus where most bands hit that stride on like their first or second
