One of my fav melodeath albums of recent years and I never see them mentioned

I want to feel the Christmas Spirit while listening to my favourite genre, have you got some recommendations?

Everyone is getting their round ups on their streaming services, and I just saw that this band made my #2 spot despite only discovering them a few months ago. I'm really looking forward to hearing more from them. There's a "pop" edge to them... or at least this is what I assume (hope) pop music sounds like in Nordic countries :)

For music preference reference, my top listened to bands for the year were :

• Sybreed
• Sarea
• CattleDecapitation
• Job for a Cowboy
• Dark Tranquillity

I haven't seen them mentioned for a while in this sub, so why not give'em a plug...

Sarea on Apple Music

Sarea on Spotify

Sarea on YouTube

*EDIT - I rarely make posts, so I messed this up... going to link some of my favorite songs in responses

I bought the original cd when it was released in 1994. The vinyl album I bought about 10 years ago and the new remaster/remix 2cd today. Holy crap how great the new mix sounds! It blows the original and the remaster out of the water, the balance and the dynamics are on a whole different level.

^(As per request we started a weekly discussion thread on this sub. Feel free to give us ideas in how we can improve this thread and make it more engaging!)

What have you been listening to? What bands did you discover? What music related stories do you want to share? Anything exciting happened in the past week?

Greetings everyone, it is that time of the year again!

We have decided to start one collective Spotify Wrapped thread for all r/melodicdeathmetal users, feel free to share in the comments!^(and please refrain from making your own spotify wrapped posts) If you do not use Spotify you can also share other types of your year end listening stats such as LFM.

Hey folks!

I have it stuck in my head that a few years ago (probably 5 or so) I came accross a band from the US on Spotify, rather unknown, that had a song sounding almost identical to "Pinball Map" from IF. Now that I'm searching, I can't find it anymore of course. But I was wondering if any of you might have an idea. Details could be blurry...

Specifically the one used on Terminal Spirit Disease and Slaughter of the Soul... I always imagined it being a piece of melting/burned up cellophane like a reel-to-reel tape, or maybe some film roll? My friend said its supposed to be a shotgun shell viewed from the side with shading effects (& since he said that I can't really unsee it lol.)

I've looked online a bunch but have yet to find an explanation, or even anyone who seems curious. Figured this was the place to go for some answers.

I think I am not 100% in the right subreddit but I think it is good enough. I actually don't listen to that much Metal in general anymore but there is one Band I love to death until this day and that is Ghost Brigade. Does anyone know this band and can suggest similiar bands? They played very melodic and melancholic metal that switched between melodic Death Metal with growls and more soft parts with clean vocals. They stood out for me because of their very atmospheric melodies that just catch me like nothing else I've ever heard

Edit: I totally forgot that I have a band that maybe some of you that value Ghost Brigade as much as I do could also like. Look into The Contortionist. More rock than metal but I think they catch the same vibe as Ghost Brigade

I'm referring to the remasters of the whole album, NOT the dogshit re-recordings! I actually like the remasters, they sound a lot more polished without being too polished like the re-recordings.
