A good one


Well their singer sounds like Black Metal, but the music is, in my opinion, plain and simple melodic power/heavy/speed metal. They are like Strato on drugs

Decapitated, by far.

Death ofcourse, Chuck Schuldiner kicks ass.
For melodic death metal, I go for Norther.

Say that to Twilightsymphony!

KRISIUN!!!!!!!

I. There are no real growls. It sounds like Black Metal, but there are very rarely growls.

II. Their music is way to melodic, also for melodic DM, and there are too much keyboards. I actually can´t remember many DM band using keyboards

III. On the last cd the voice wasnt that extreme at all, it was sort of normal screaming... the cd wasnt that great in general i think

-> so: they arent
But who cares for genres, most bands dont fit in the categories anyway

They are Metal. That counts

DEATH, the band led by Chuck, who died a couple years ago.

VADER

Children of Bodom, that's it! Even for me!!! They are absolutely the best, I don't care if their keyboards make them melodic-death metal... They are the best between violent melodic hyper-tachnic bands!!!

At The Gates or Opeth. Maybe not pure Death but really great.

DEATH OFCOURSE
AND PROG DEATH OPETH AND DARK TRANQUILITY

Children of Bodom or Norther. I can't deside.

Mmm... Cannibal Corpse... Mastifal... Venamon... Metal Church... Testament... Death Angel...

Those are some good bands...

Agreed - Krisiun is the best Death Metal I've ever heard.

1N FLAMEZZ!!!111 OMG LOLOL

THEIR TEH BST DEATH M3TAL BAND AV3R DA ABSOLUTELY RUL3 TH3Y KIK MAJOR AS WIT THEYRE BRUTAL MUSIC AND TRASHNG GUITARS111! WTF



...


Seriously, the best Death Metal band for me are Naglfar or The Haunted. I can't think of actual Death Metal bands who are worth listening, that's mainly because I lost all my mp3 due to a virus I had a month ago and I can't remember too much of them. I'll still stick with The Haunted and Naglfar, nevertheless.


NP: Strato - Learning To Fly

Quo Vadis. Technical death from Quebec. Or maybe Martyr...anyway both of them really kick ass...you know there's no such thing as a "best band" but those are some of my favorite death metal bands.

Children of Bodom,Opeth....Death sucks....

Krisuin is awesome!!!! kick ass who knows them????

also cannibal corpse, morbid angel rules!!!!!

I dont listen much death but Dimmu Borgir is great.Death Angel was also great in Tuska metal festival

death metal.............i always knew children of bodom was black power

-Death!!
(My band is organizing a Chuck tribute show in Dec, really close to his death-anniversary. The management who also does Cryptopsy is helping us and we're REALLY trying to get them to play! We want a big crowd, since it's a benefit concert!!)

Anyway, who else?

-Amon Amarth (LOOOOVE Amon Amarth, nice guys too)
-Opeth
-All those CoB/Norther/Kalmah type bands (except Imperanon, they suck)... dunno if they're really Death, they're just... Metal. But who cares, they're good.
-Scent of Flesh is awesome. Everyone's complaining that they're too much of a Deicide rip off, but I like them. Nice to hear brutal Death Metal from Finland, it's a nice change from the other stuff.
-Garden of Shadows - -AMAZING band, though very obscure.
-Battlesword is good too, they're like... Melodic Death from Germany. If you like Amon Amarth or Gothenburg shit you'll like them.

Blaah, there are too many bands to think of!!

Opeth, CoB and Norther.

Oh yea! I forgot Opeth *smacks head*... I can't listen to them for hours, I find them draining after a while but they're awesome and have really influenced my own band a lot...

Yeah. Had the same problem. In the beginning it sounded like someone dying of sadness in a horrible way. After an hour i couldnt stand it anymore.. but now i think they are very great. Especially the softer stuff..
