Essential Melodic Death Metal.



I'm not a big melodic death metal fan,i rather like old-school and technical death metal,but still there are some albums of this genre that i find interesting.Most of the albums i am going to post are classics of the genre,so you might already have them...but i'm still going to post them.


At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul (1995)

At The Gates is probably the best melodic death metal band ever (the best one i ever
heard at least),they're what melodic death should be like : fast,agressive and..aghh melodic.



Carcass - Heatwork(1993)

Most people say that what Carcass does the best is grindcore,well i beg to differ,check this album out and you'll see what i'm talking about.



In Flames - Jester Race (1995)

I hate almost everything that In Flames has done after this album...it's hard to believe that the band that released this masterpiece is now just a lame alternative metal band.



Dark Tranquility - The Gallery(1995)

I don't know much about them,except the fact that they're one of the first melo-death bands (alongside In Flames and At The Gates) and that they rock.



Amon Amarth - Versus The World(2002)

At first i wanted to post their lastest album,Twilight of The Thunder God,which is really awesome,but most of you already have it,so i decided to post another one of their records...



Arch Enemy - Burning Bridges (1999)

I never liked the Angela Gossow-era Arch Enemy,so i'm gonna post one of their album with Johan Liiva...a death metal woman vocalist is worse then it sounds,trust me.



Children Of Bodom - Hate Crew Deathroll(2003)

Children of Bodom are cool,they're pretty technical mostly thanks to Laiho's guitarwork,and they have some nice melodies...



Dethklok - The Dethalbum

I posted this album some time ago,you can find the post through the link...


If you have suggestions for other classic melodic death metal albums leave a comment or something...
