Melodic Death metal bands battle

[Izzy's Girl]

Worst form of metal music there is. Death Metal is shite.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

death metal is excelent....miles better than rock

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Bullshit. Heavy Metal rules all. Not that death metal crap. Alot of the time you cant understand what theyre saying its just a load of grunts.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well yeh the vocals do stand out majorly as distorted and ear bleeding, but I look past that. The screaming is a way to convey the extreme emotions and surges of energy within the songs, you have too listen deeper within the music sometimes. Take CoB, Alexi does scream a lot yeh but the instrumentation is extremely intense by which I mean it's constructed like a symphony, with substantial amount of talent and has really effective minor keys making it sound dark and yet full of energy which makes you wanna scream yourself, in all the best ways

[Killing Time]

Children Of Bodom. Laiho's guitar and vocal work are amazing and they manage to pull off compotent covers too. Shame they aren't recognised in the mainstream, but such is life.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

it's actually better they aren't recognized in mainstream, they could become sellouts that way

[Jochen]

Death metal can be melodic?

[Jochen]

This sounds interesting, what are some songs by the bands in the poll that would be considered melodic?

[Cold Razor]

distortion is the way of heavy metal. tell me a non ballad/slow song by a heavy metal band that is not using distortion.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Rhapsody don't use distortion very often, even in their fastest songs. They make Symphonic-Epic-Speed Metal.

Anyway, voted for In Flames!

[Fizz]

I don't think I've even heard a song by any band on that list.

[matt_barker]

none.. because death metal sucks!
