~NOiSE~ Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Understandable, though for me those were the first two albums I had listened to by Soilwork and then I had tried out The Living Infinite and Steelbath Suicide, so I guess im more tuned to their commercial stuff. I agree though that Speeds vocal style was better at higher pitch, though in general I tend to prefer higher pitched vocalists. I love the artwork to both of those albums Yea same, I think you'll dig the albums too since you seem to enjoy the good OSDM stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 This will be my last post for a few days since moving day is tomorrow and we wont have Internet until the 25th at the new house So keep in light of the Melodeath conversation And to keep in light of the OSDM conversation Yes its New Wave OSDM but I like that stuff better than tr00 OSDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~NOiSE~ Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Will miss you brah I don't care if it's old or new as long as it's awesome haha. Cruciamentum rules. Clayman is a good album but my fave In Flames are probably Soundtrack to Your Escape and Come Clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayman is a good album but my fave In Flames are probably Soundtrack to Your Escape and Come Clarity.I do agree but id prefer bands like Obliteration, Morbus Chron and Cruciamentum over bands like Demilich and Disembowelment (no hate to either though) Clayman is my favorite out of their melodeath releases but Come Clarity is my favorite in general, it was the first In Flames album I ever bought. Im really not too sure how id rank their albums but if I was ever sat down and forced to id probably go like: Come Clarity > StYE > RtR > SOAPF > Clayman > Colony > ASOP > Siren Charms > Whoracle > Lunar Strain ill admit that Whoracle and Lunar Strain both have more substance but theres a few tracks that make Siren Charms stand out more for me and feel much more memorable.

~NOiSE~ Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Ugh I can't believe how much I love dm now Can't say I love melodeath nearly as much but as you know I am a fan of the classic three bands. In Flames the least though, I don't listen to them nearly as often as Dark Tranquillity or At the Gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im the opposite I tend to listen to In Flames the most out of the three legends and dont listen to Death Metal as much as Melodeath, though ill admit that Death Metal is more abundant in its quality bands than Melodeath.

~NOiSE~ Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I guess there's only so much that can be done with melodeath to keep it interesting but most of those things were already done ten years ago. The next Dark Tranquillity album should rule, here's hoping for blast beats \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every dark and gloomy Melodeath band wants to sound like Dark Tranquillity, every catchy Melodeath band wants to sound like In Flames, every mainstream Melodeath band wants to sound like Soilwork/Scar Symmetry, every raw Melodeath band wants to sound like At the Gates etc. There are a few exceptions but most of those exceptions dont know how to do what theyre trying to do right. Dark Tranquillity have always been great so I doubt their newest album would be an exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the overbearing amount of melodeath-inspired metalcore bands that bring nothing to the table. I guess it all comes down to taste in the end but my taste is not lined up with most melodeath at all. I read an interview from Dark Tranquillity's drummer awhile back where he said that he and the keyboardist had written a lot for the new album, and it's all really fast, heavy riffs. Needless to say, I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like 50% okay/terrible stuff and 50% stuff thats worth listening to. Honestly part of why theres so many bad ones is just because the insane amount of bands that are playing that style, makes way for less growth and experimentation in a genre when it becomes that saturated That new DT sounds like itll be good though I doubt ill like it as much as Construct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~NOiSE~ Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 sooo while the gorguts album was alright, i liked this recommended one a tad bit better: I'll personally take Gorguts over Deicide any day haha. But to be honest, Obscura is one of the weirdest death metal albums ever written and not an easy listen for many, so I'm glad you derived some enjoyment from it. Their albums before that are more straightforward but still stellar death metal. And here's another favorite death metal album of mine, though this one has a very prominent doom element as well. Still have a hard time beleiving this came out in 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susie Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Free Wi-Fi at Tim Hortons is fun Love Gorguts but Deicide bore me. The Erosion of Sanity was my first album by them, it took a few listens but I fell in love with it after a while. Condemned to Obscurity is one of the creepiest Death Metal songs ever. diSEMBOWELMENT are amazing too. Bleak and miserable Death Metal at its finest.

~NOiSE~ Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Since were sharing albums we just heard of for the first time Totally different sound I know, but im not that good on digging up all that OSDM myself I mostly get my recs from Spotify, I often check out similar artists to whatever I'm listening to. And I happen to be super into death metal at the moment, though I have been listening to Spectral Lore quite a bit as well. Never heard of Dead and Divine, but some of the similar artists make me afraid I won't like them. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt though, will check tomorrow. Leaving Adramelech for now, Finnish 90s death metal similar to Demilich but not quite as twisted and with less unique vocals. Album rules in it's own way though.
