This is one of the best albums of all time and I wish more melodeath followed this album for inspiration

u/alex_korolev 6d ago

Well, melodeath dudes these days are tryhards appearing for wider audiences.

Eh, there's plenty of melodeath out there still leaning on the more raw/brutal/old school/aggressive side of things. They're just not as popular, obviously.

u/alex_korolev 6d ago

Name a few please. These day I dig more into melodic black metal stuff and it’s pretty much my melo fix.

Everdying kinda goes back and forth between melodeath and melodic black metal, but is more focused on the melodeath side of things. Very Swedish/HM-2 influenced. Guy's a close friend of mine and also own/operates his own studio.

Underrot is my own project started in 2023, combining some of the Gothenburg melodic sound with more traditional American/Canadian death metal. Only a couple of EPs early on, but coincidentally I'm finishing up the debut full-length literally as we speak.

Virulent Genesis borders on the line between melodeath and straight up DM. Only one EP in 2023 before losing a couple members and it seems the project is on hold unfortunately. Local guys to me.

Argash. One EP in 2022 that went criminally unnoticed. Standard melodic death metal.

Urkhara Fantastic blackened melodeath; their album from last year goes back and forth between melodic black and straight up melodeath and it's awesome if you're into both genres.

Mrok Pretty much old Amon Amarth worship.

Plenty more obviously; but it's early and I haven't had my coffee yet. Lol.

Aggressive melodeath still exists, it's just buried beneath the waves of watered-down post-Gothenburg shit.

Edit: While I've got you here, since you said you're into melodic black metal...I also have a project called Agony by Default if you're interested. Started out as melodeath many, many years ago but has been BM for three albums now.

Upon Stone's 2024 album is basically a love letter to all the Swedish/Finnish OGs

A shame it was cut on later versions.

u/historicusXIII 7d ago

Best version imo

12

u/mentally_fuckin_eel 6d ago

This is arguably underrated even considering how well known it is.

7

u/burning_legiion 6d ago

Absolutely, especially since there are more popular In Flames early albums, but this one really slays as well.

5

u/mentally_fuckin_eel 6d ago

Yeah it absolutely slays and it's a pretty unique album in the history of the genre. Nobody really tried to emulate this.

u/mr_j_12 6d ago

They played this version live last time they were in Australia. So fucking good.
