[QUOTE=Ensameheten]I need 1 band that sounds a lot like Symphony X, notice that I only need 1 band because it´s for a school project....I don´t really want to explain it but i only need 1 band.[/QUOTE]

fairly unknown but I think Euroforce would do.

Can any one recommend me some In Flames ? I want to check them out.

Thanks in advance.

Well for In Flames check out their Whoracle and Colony era.....I don´t think you would like their new stuff that much but if you want to give it a shot then try Soundtrack To Your Escape which i wouldn´t really recommend.

Because well at least for me it´s pretty generic and boring nu metal....but check it out also.

For the Whoracle and Colony era check out:
Moonshield
December Flower
Jotun
Zombie Inc
Dialogue With The Stars
Episode 666
The Jester's Dance
Swim
Satellites And Astronauts
Pinball Map

Ok, Thanks Txus.

Thanks for the last page suggestoins, I'll be checking out Dissection first.

well i am a big fan of opeth but they are the only death metal band that i like so far and i am interested in hearing more music like them, so what would be some good specific songs/albums/bands to check out?

Death is probably the best band to start on. Symbolic, Individual Thought Patterns or The Sound Of Perseverance I would recommend as first albums from them.

Also, Bloodbath is a good one to start on, and the first album has Mikeal on it so you'll be used to the vocals already.

Also if you want to check out a band similar to Opeth, check out Novembre and The Provenance.

Add to that list, Katatonia's album Brave Murder Day (Akefeldt did guest vocals on certain parts...older, Morningriseish style) and Novembers Doom.

alright thanks, ive actually heard a few death songs before before, and i will check out bloodbath, novembre, and the provenence :)

i've also heard dark tranquility mentioned a lot with opeth. are they worth hearing too?

I've never heard of Dark Tranquillity being mentioned alongside Opeth (aside from the fact that they're touring together), but Dark Tranquillity is the single greatest Gothenburg metal band ever. Get Character, one of the best albums I've ever heard. You won't regret it.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Dark Tranquillity is the single greatest Gothenburg metal band ever. [/QUOTE]
Quoted for 100% truth.

The only Dark Tranquility ive heard is "lost to apathy" and its freaking amazing. On the subject, can anyone recommend me some gothenburg bands?

At the Gates
Dark Tranquility

Those are the only two I find myself ever coming back to as of late.

Hmmm, check out:
Arch Enemy
In Flames
Soilwork
Suidakra

Those are the only ones I can think of at the moment.

Thanks :)

I'm looking to get into Kalmah more. I have Hades already, can anyone else upload some of their best songs?

Thanks.

[QUOTE]Opeth[/QUOTE]

definitely NOT death metal. You may like Farmakon and Disillusion as well.

You should ask for this in the Request thread dude, but if you give me your mail i can send you a sampler.

CAn anyone recommend me some melodic death metal that isnt to harsh and is totally awsome.


Also dont recommend me any gothenburg stuff.


Thanks :chug:

Amon Amarth
Arch Enemy
At The Gates
Atrocity
Beyond Shadows
Callenish Circle
Carcass (Heartwork and Swansong albums)
Ceremonial Oath
Dark Tranquillity
Darkane
Dimension Zero
Edge of Sanity
Entombed
Eternal Tears of Sorrow
Exhalted
Hypocrisy
In Flames
Insomnium
Kalmah
Mercenary
Mors Principium Est
Nightrage
Norther
Noumena
Omnium Gatherum
Opeth
Sentenced
Soilwork
SuidAkrA
Unanimated

That's a list from Wikipedia.

A lot of that is gothenburg though.

If you're looking for less harsh stuff, gothenburg is probably your best bet, however.

If you don't care about harshness, a couple of my favorite melodic death bands (I'm really picky about it) are:

Carcass
Intestine Baalism
Eucharist
Autumn Leaves

My favourite Melodic Death band is Arghoslent by far. Eucharist and Intestine Baalism are good too.

Arsis would do as well :)

you made some mistakes... some bands are gothenburg, some others have nothing in common with melodic death (like opeth and sentenced)

... about the others i'm not sure; i don't know all the bands you listed up

[QUOTE]Amon Amarth ([B]Good [/B]Melodic Death with Epic feeling)
Arch Enemy (Gothenburg Metal)
At The Gates ([B]Good [/B]Gothenburg)
Atrocity (band that changes its style all the time)
Beyond Shadows
Callenish Circle
Carcass ([B]Good [/B]Melodic death)
Ceremonial Oath (old Gothenburg)
Dark Tranquillity ([B]Good [/B]Gothenburg metal)
Darkane (isn't it Thrash/Death metal?! I would say neo-thrash that reminds me of gothenburg)
Dimension Zero (same as above)
Edge of Sanity (Melodc Death)
Entombed
Eternal Tears of Sorrow
Exhalted
Hypocrisy (Death metal, you could say they're melodic though)
In Flames (Gothenburg Metal, later works give a bad name to the scene)
Insomnium
Kalmah (sound like CoB)
Mercenary
Mors Principium Est
Nightrage (Gothenburg Metal)
Norther (sound like CoB)
Noumena
Omnium Gatherum
Opeth (progressive death metal, I would say extreme progressive metal)
Sentenced (gothic metal)
Soilwork (Gothenburg Metal)
SuidAkrA (Folk Death Metal?)
Unanimated[/QUOTE]

...:p

I'm f[size=2]u[/size]cking sick of people treating Gothenburg as seperate to Melodic Death.

It's like treating Bay-Area thrash as something different to Thrash, when it shouldn't be.

I treat gothenburg as being a form of melodic death metal and I dont see anything wrong with it :confused:

Yeah that's ok, but I get annoyed when people call it 'Gothenburg Metal'. I would rather people just called it all Melodic Death though, since it seems some people just so that other people don't associate In Flames and the like with their precious "real" melodic death.

I still <3 you though orestes :P

It's a handy little distinction, but that's about it.

Anyway, Arghoslent all the way.
