Track Of The Day - The Horde Edition
Progressive death metal with lyrics following the simple yet intriguing Christian theme of faith vs. fire:
A short yet heavily diverse power metal/melodeath track with so much going on in just two and a half minutes:
The concluding epic for Time I has more stable structure complete with soloing and epic melodies more tolerable for the present-day me:
Whether original or re-recorded, this still remains my favorite song of Amorphis' debut album:
The usual sound of Edge of Sanity has taken on a more melodic route in this highlight while staying destructive:
This wicked heavy highlight brings melody and speed up front, almost like Sonic Syndicate on steroids:
My favorite track of this Before the Dawn album with the right sense of closure and none of Lars Eikind's poor vocals:
Soaring blast-beats and riff-wrath are in perfect balance with Marcela Bovio's serene vocal glory in one of the best and heaviest tracks of this Mayan album:
An enjoyable piece of symphonic death metal:
A couple awesome melodic death metal bands whose music I've encountered in the past, but was never fully interested in them until recently:
Self-proclaimed "old school death metal pop" band. Is it good? you decide!

awesome and classic band, I only really love mystic places of dawn, though. Hey, you're pretty active in this thread, that's pretty cool!

I always thought Dir En Grey was the only band that can blend together Japanese pop rock with extreme metal so easily, but this band can do it quite well too. Nice one, Pelle!

Oh yeah, I've been trying to get back in touch with melodic/progressive/symphonic death metal lately.

speaking of, I've never listened to anything by that band before. Looks like they've had a lot of style changes, generally a weird band. What do you think is their best record?
My 3 favorite Dir En Grey albums are Uroboros, Arche, and Phalaris. Out of those 3 albums though, Uroboros is what I would recommend the most for the ultimate best of their stylistic experimentation.
thanks!
A cacophonic highlight of 70s space rock twisted into intricate thrashy death metal rhythms:
Who knew synthwave and melodeath can go well together in a catchy blend? I certainly didn't before encountering this album and highlights like this song:
Danish melodeath 'n' roll at its absolute finest:
A final blend of epic and extreme for The Amenta's debut:
A perfect brutal highlight with some killer guest vocals by Nergal of Behemoth:
A punishing blaster with a relentless breakdown halfway through:
Gothic melodeath with touches of the Norwegian black metal scene and Dark Tranquillity's The Gallery:
A gothic melodeath march with riffing taken nicely from Sabbath and, more directly, Amorphis:
