The place for news, song sharing and discussions on all things related to melodic death metal.
Melodic death metal is a subgenre of metal that combines elements from the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM) with components of death metal. Melodic death metal began in the early 1990s through the rise of bands such as In Flames, Dark Tranquillity and At The Gates.

The following bands may only be posted once per month. Before you post them, search the subreddit to see if they have been posted recently.
See this post for more details
1. When posting a song, have the title in the form Artist - Song Name, followed by any relevant comment in parentheses (optional) or it will be removed.
2. Make sure that songs posted are melodic death metal, or at the very least, incorporate melodeath elements.
3. No reposting of songs/albums that have already been posted in the past 6 months. Also avoid posting songs of a band that was posted a lot recently, especially if it was just a few hours ago.
4. Bands on the restricted list are only allowed to be posted once every 30 days independent of song/album, so check whether they have been posted within the last month before posting. Exceptions are new releases, and to circumvent your restricted band post being autoremoved write "[new]" at the end of your title.
5. Please refrain from posting full Albums/EPs, but instead choose one song and submit that.

I'm looking for songs like Everything will Freeze by UNDEAD CORPORATION, I love the vocals and guitar, especially the guitar at 1:46
https://youtu.be/lkicMsn-s_8?si=47t0OKX491dggQLp
While i was relistening to Whoracle i’ve noticed that Food for the gods has very similar riffs to ATG’s Slaughter Of The Soul. Have In Flames done that purposefully, or is it just a coincidence? Am i the only one who noticed?
What’s up guys, we dropped our debut single this past Friday. Jam it 🤘🏻
FFO: First Fragment, Demon King, Alterbeast
Looks like they dropped off the face of the Earth. They cancelled all their shows and haven't said anything since. Anyone know what's up?
Which album do you prefer??
I need more songs like this. They have performed this song once (if im not mistaken) or maybe never have, I cannot remember when I last checked on setlist.
With no real info on this song (and a lot of the second half of this album) other than tabs and ears, can someone recommend me music that sounds like this? Out of all songs on Heartwork, this is the most unique to me, and since the band is now performing Death Certificate, this leaves Doctrinal Expletives to be the only song left with no real live footage or recognition from the band.
The intro is balls to the wall, reminds me of Bill Steer’s Napalm Death era but more refined? Then the rhythm section under the first two solos (which then goes into double time during the chorus), is so reminiscent of older metal but I cannot seem to think of any it reminds me of. Please help, I’m about to learn this song in the mean time, lol. I just don’t want this to be one of those songs that is forgotten, I believe Ammott’s first solo is in his top 3 with the band, I’ll stand on that.
Got your riffs and screaming right here.
So I feel like I have listened through the entirety spotify and still can't find new music/bands I really like. Therefore I am really open to any recommendations.
Some bands I like:
Aspects I like:
Some bands I already tried but only liked one or two songs at first glance (open for song recommendations):
Most of other bigger bands i propably already tried. So I am really searching for niche bands/albums/songs or other songs from the bands mentioned above that have a similar vibe. Thanks for any recommendations :)
Edit: Wow big thanks to all of you, didn't expect that amount of recommendations :D I have put a little bit of everything in a huge playlist (40+ hrs) and I will give it a complete listen and pick my favourites. Thanks again \m/
Tarot or Redneck Vikings From Hell by Aether Realm?
I've been listening to both a lot and I was talking about this with a friend the other day. Ik Tarot is probably better but for some reason I just love Redneck Vikings so much more
Our brand new track, definitely with an old school vibe both for sound & visuals.
I’ve been holding off on Black Dahlia Murder ever since the loss of Trevor. I just assumed it could never be the same, even with Brian rightfully taking over vocals.
I was SO wrong. This record is absolutely PHENOMENAL. I’d put it over multiple Trevor era records even in terms of ranking. Brian does Trevor true justice and the rhythms on this one are insane. Of course it’s no Nocturnal, but it seriously holds its own extremely well and feels like it is just such a rightful continuation of TBDM catalog.
10/10 recommend checking it out if you haven’t yet. I’m mind blown.
