Is anyone here a fan of melodeath? I know most everyone on here is a fan of the old school stuff but aside from that, melodic death metal is most certainly my favorite music! I love Arch Enemy, In Flames, Heartwork-era-Carcass, Dark Tranquillity, Kalmah, Soilwork...etc.

Would you consider At The Gates' "Slaughter Of The Soul" or Dissection's "Storm Of The Light's Bane" melodeath?
Some would say the latter is Melodic Black Metal, I don't agree. Dissection is one of the purveyors of Gothenburg Death Metal which to me is the pioneers of melodeath. I remember Fred from Dismember slagging them and calling them "Helloween shit" when Entombed changed their sound and pretty much killed the Stockholm sound that was big at the time.
I do love Heartwork, and some Dark Tranquility, saw them here opening for Strapping Young Lad and Napalm Death.
When this sound boomed (melodeath) I was deep into doom and gothic metal (the first wave, not the beauty and the beast bullshit they're peddling as "gothic metal" nowadays) so I don't know much about that scene.

O yea. Though there is a fine line between melodic death metal and Gothenburg death metal I think. Like I would consider Arch Enemy, In Flames, and Dark Tranquillity melodeath. The gothenburg sound comes from bands like At The Gates, Dismember, and yes, Dissection. I'm not totally sure what genre Dissection is, all I know is that definitely aided the DM scene in Sweden a LOT.

LOL@ "beauty and the beast bullshit"
I could see someone using clips from that old show in a music video.

I really like The Gallery BY Dark Tranquillity I consider BDM melodic Death metal ( I can also see a Deathcore argument, but I really hate deathcore so i don't lump it in there), Dissection is one of my all time Hails. Select Amon Amarth is awesome I like Windir And Dusk Chapel who wold be considered Melodic Black metal but to me can play a dissection-like role,Old God Dethroned is good.
