When it comes to melodeath...there is an unrealized (or maybe just overlooked) album.
Purgatory Afterglow by Edge of Sanity. Brilliant, and also seems like a true melodeath album, in that it's actually a merger of death metal and melodic songwriting. Also released a whole year before Slaughter of the Soul, the Gallery, and the Jester Race |

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!
Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

CoB's early stuff I think of as extreme power metal, and great stuff.
Their recent stuff is melodeath. And pretty much horrible. I'll take the extreme power variant any day. |

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

Not really a fan of the sub genre.
I like In Flames early stuff (their first 2 albums) Slaughter of the Soul is pretty great. I never thought of CoB as melodeath but I do like them as well. |

Very true - they aren't melodeath like In Flames or Arch Enemy, but just have a melodic take on death metal. EoS can be pretty brutal at times, but in comparison to other death metal acts of their time, they aren't that heavy.  |

Yes they are certainly not melodeath but melodic death metal and even though that somehow means the same it really doesn�t now does it?

Edge of Sanity - progressive melodic death metal with some balls.

I�m not much of a melodeath fan but Burning Bridges by Arch Enemy ( I�m not too fond of the rest of their disco) is one great album.

Anyone else on here likes melodeath? :D
My favorite bands are Dark Tranquillity, Children Of Bodom and Insomnium (Their 2nd and last albums are amongst the most unique melodeath albums i have ever heard). I also like early In flames. Lately i've been discovering Kalmah and Arch Enemy and i must say they sound really good. What about you guys? |
