Arch Enemy

Bloody hell. That's a woman! I'm impressed. Not just by that, but I also like the riffs and the willingness to go into 80's influenced cheesy melodic metal.

Well done.

Arch Enemy used to have a male singer i nthe beginning they were better then

if you liek this kinda stuff check out

old In Flames, At The Gates, Dark Tranquility etc etc also found a very similar female fronted band from Japan called Shadow

raging!

[carlospresents]

Cheers. I do like the old stuff too but have only just heard it. I also like the other bands you mentioned. Can you think of any
thing else similar?

[MEhelper]

theres so much mate i could go on forever

some of it is cheesey some is fecking brutal depends what your into

try Dissection - later stuff is more melodic early stuff is bleak black/death metal proper legendary satanic metal band singer killed himself last year or something

Arsis - quite brutal tech melodic stuff from yanks i think

Kalmah - amazing melodic death metal with hints of viking metal recommended

Wintersun - awesome modelic death metal great stuff

Norther - kinda cheesy melodic death/ power metal great vocals shit lyrics

so so much stuff bands above are just off the top of my head there are not necessarily amazing although KALMAH rip it up! one of my faves best bet is search on you tube for melodic death metal and watch the vid compilations people do of there favourite bands great way ot find new ones

also you may be into viking and battle metal try searching for them a bit more power metal involved but usally have an elemtnt of folk / melodic death metal or back metal included

If death metal with a major quotient of 80s widdly cheese metal is the order, I'll state the obvious and say Children of Bodom.

Also, a big up for Soilwork, whom I like very muchly indeed.

Ooh, Arsis be good.

[MEhelper]

Ooh, Arsis be good.

yeah they are ripping

i used to like COB but i find they are pure garbage nowadays

there a few uber obsucre gothenburg bands i have cds of cant remember the names off hand but are ace they were all around at the time of At The Gates

actually i remeber one EUCHARIST check em out on the tube

i like a bit of brutality now and then aswell bit of NECROPHAGIST and NILE
