Big fan, but my first time finally getting to one of their shows. Amazing setlist, great mix. Wilderun and OG had great sets too. Get out there if you can. Jealous of the ones that get to see them with Brandon Ellis, that'll be a treat.

so I obvs listen to COB but are there any bands that I could listen to?

Pretty much as the title suggests. I love In Flames, Soilwork, Orbit Culture, At the Gates, Disarmonia Mundi, Heaven Shall Burn, and I’ve been getting into Dark Tranquillity. I’m open to any suggestions. I just love the melodic death metal style and want to branch out more

^(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?

I don't see it very often but In Flames kinda use it evan in the album "clayman" and now in the song "meet your maker" and it's still count as melodeath acording to google but i was wondering if this is possible to use clean vocals and still keep the melodeath sound i mean it's make sense to me beacuse it's a mix between death and heavy metal and heavy metal is melodic but in the other hand so how is it diffrent from metalcore or melodic metalcore apart from the breakdowns.

Also i see some people saying that if a melodeath band use clean they are not melodeath anymore.

What do you think ?

What is this one band that you think are the GOAT ?

I wanna start listening to them and i notice that a lot of people hate them now beacuse they changed or whatever is it true ? i heard the last album is like a "return to the form"

Are they not Melodeath band anymore ?

I mean every metal band need a proggres they cant sound the same for 14 albums.
