Looking for albums with predominantly dual guitar harmony riffs

Please read the entire post before commenting.

I'm looking for albums that have predominantly dual guitar harmony riffs. That is, when both guitars play lead parts at the same time. Please, please, must have these:

• The harmonies have to be a predominant part of the music. I shouldn't have to scavenge a 40 min album to find 10 seconds of it. It has to make up the majority of the music, and this is non negotiable.

• a more trad metal feel, not lots of tremolo, or dissonance, or groovy riffs.

• a sharper guitar note, nothing too bassy or chunky.

• no rhythm guitar playing under the melodies. Both guitars have to be playing a lead part simultaneously. This is non negotiable, if it has chords under the melodies, I don't want to hear it.

• minimal or no blast beats at all. I know this is a bit more beyond the guitar work, but it's also really important.

Some examples of what I'm looking for:

• Opeth - Orchid
• Dreichmere - Despair the Withered Shadows
• Autumn Requiem - As I Beheld the Blazing Glory of the Rising Dawn
• Ophthalamia - A Journey in Darkness, Via Dolorosa
• Orphaned Land - El Norra Alila
• Garden of Shadows - Oracle Moon
• All 3 Obsequiae releases
• In Flames - Lunar Strain
• Fall of the Leafe – Storm of the Autumnfall
• Katatonia - Jhva Elohim Meth, Dance of December Souls, Brave Murder Day, For Funerals to Come

(I know most of these aren't meloblack or black metal at all, but they're the ones that fit the bill)

I know this is incredibly picky and niche, so it's ok if there's nothing you can come up with that resembles it. If you have doubts whether an album fits the bill or not, you can ask me. Thanks in advance!

Recommendation Request

I'm looking for some old school melodic black metal bands/releases, as i'm mostly only familiar with the newer bands. I also mostly only know the most basics of old school meloblack like Dissection, Vinterland, Dawn and Sacramentum. So i'm basically looking for more obscure stuff. Thank you all in advance.

Recommend to me

Hi meloblack fam, I'm new to this genre. Can anyone suggest to me songs about despair/disappointment/frustration/hopelessness. I just heard "Demons" & "A Paradox With Flies" by Darkest Hour and I'm thinking something like that, don't matter music style as long as it holds the theme I mentioned. Please avoid love theme if possible unless it's not specifically about breakups. Thank you so much and please pardon my ignorance if this post sounds like it.

Searching for merch artist

Artist recommendations for merch piece

Hello there, I’m looking to commission a piece of original art in a style similar to Toshihiro Egawa. I have used Misanthropic Art and Kim Holm before for merch art, but I’d like to find an artist similar to the approach used in the photo. Unfortunately Toshihiro does not do commissions, so I figured I’d put out the call to see if anyone could steer me in the right direction.

Also, I’m in the Canadian Black Metal band Arctos, so hopefully that makes this post relevant enough to be here. Thanks in advance!

Yithian - Descent Into Desolation

Hey there,

this is a Melodic Black/Death Metal project that I think is worth checking out. It was a passion project by someone who's very dear to me and I hope it gains the recognition it (imho) deserves.
