Holy poo poo how have these guys slipped under my radar?
This song is loving boss, absolutely love the guitar leads and the vocalist's growling is convincing as all hell. This is like, the best things about Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum and Before the Dawn rolled into one.

Yeah man Australia has some pretty wild bands floating around right now. Also to be highly featured is Ouroboros. Unfortunately they've only got one album, and it just came out, but its some incredibly fun technical/melodic death metal.

Yo thanks for posting this because Aquiles Priester owns, and the three albums of Angra hes on are my favorite, and this youtube linked me to a vid of him playing DEATH's Symbolic which was unreal. I wish more bands had the balls to cover DEATH and do it well.

So I've listened to Time a few times ( :v:

I feel like the massive amounts of synth and symphonic effects detract from it, but I still like it quite a bit. I'm kinda wishing he'd just released Time 2 with it though.

Have you heard Epicloud yet? Because that's pretty much the poppiest thing.

I really think that he'll eventually go into production full time and based on his career, could probably do great work for a wide range of artists.

It's too bad that he decided Epicloud is just a one off kinda thing that he had to get out of his system, since I don't actually mind a lot of the poppiness in some of the music.

Skeletonwitch was pretty damned cool last night and I recommend if they are coming to your town you go see them.

They always put on a great show. When there were in Calgary during the summer I was kinda disappointed with the length of their set, and they literally did not take breaks between songs. The singer is a cool dude though and always hangs around to chat after a show so I guess I cant complain.

Yeah I should have mentioned that their last two albums arent really thrash and more prog and experimental. My bad.

Who would you guys say come closest to aping Death's style while still doing their own thing, or at least without sounding like a tryhard clone?

Obscura. Their song Incarnated could basically be put on Sounds of Perseverance or Symbolic and you wouldn't know the difference.

My top albums for the year were definitely Be'lakor, Ne Obliviscaris, In Mourning, Gorod, and Hour of Penance. I like death metal. :frog:

Next year I have extremely high hopes for the new Vader, Amon Amarth, and Wintersun albums. I hope Time II is a step up from Time I, since I considered that a bit of a let down overall. Vader has literally never written or made anything bad, so I know I dont have to worry about them.

Time I has only just clicked for me, I was disappointed at first at how bomabastic and long the songs were but the other day I suddenly loved it. 'Sons of Winter and Stars' is like a mixture of 'Winter Madness' and 'Battle Against', whilst 'Land of Snow and Sorrow' has the same mournful melody as 'Death and the Healing'. Its a complex album, and like Devin Townsend's Deconstruction just takes time (har) to appreciate.

Still, there were only three actual songs, not really enough after 6 years.

I liked it a lot, but it's annoying that he says "ITS A HARD LISTEN YOU CANT HANDLE THIS poo poo IN ONE SITTING" (literally why he split it in 2 albums) but then half of it is filler poo poo/intros

I love everything about this band. The guitars, the drumming, the lyrics. And especially the vocals. It's great to be able to actually understand what in the gently caress the singer is saying for a change.

What other bands have a similar vocal style?

Skeletonwitch owns real hard, puts on a really aggressive show and they're cool dudes IRL. I've met the singer Chance a few times.

They're apparently recording a new album very soon.

I've been an Arch Enemy fan for years now, and a fan of at least one Carcass album. However a lot of melodeath doesn't really do anything for me, even Amon Amarth which I still do listen to. So finding The Absence is great, more so since it's not about vikings, or any other genre of song writing, and it has great vocals and riffs.

This thread helped me find The Absence.

Thank you thread.

Good news about The Absence, as they've recently lost guitarist Peter Joseph but replaced him with Per Nilsson from Scar Symmetry. They have a new album coming out this year.

A lot of melodeath coming out these days is really lovely and uninteresting, but you should try out bands like Insomnium and give older In Flames (like Whoracle and The Jester Race) a shot. Also, Be'lakor is one of the finest melodic death metal bands to come out in recent years. And while I'm on the subject of Austrailian melodeath, Ouroboros is pretty sick too.

Melodeath couldn't get mentioned without mentioning Kalmah, can it? I got into melodeath with Arch Enemy and Children of Bodom when you could still call CoB melodeath, but I discovered Kalmah one day, and if Arch Enemy is a hamburger, and Children Of Bodom is a 7/11 hotdog, then Kalmah is like Steak to me. Your Mileage Will Vary, but here's one of theirs that I personally like:

edit: Music Video contains lead guitarist shredding on a rifle. Watch even if you hate it.

I like melodeath for the most part but I have never liked Arch Enemy or COB. Kalmah is great though. Other Finnish melodeath to check out are Omnium Gatherum, Mors Principium Est.

There's also relatively unknown band that I listen to by the name of Quo Vadis that I think falls under melodic death metal and is worth checking out.
