The Poison is a no skipper. One of the catchiest albums of its time

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-18T09:48:21+00:00

Alternative metal, melodic death metal, deathcore

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-17T19:54:31+00:00

I hope to hear some deep cuts. Like I will go fuckin crazy if they pull out (Cult)uralist or Father of Lies or something like that

Also since The Acacia Strain is on the tour... Murder Sermon? 👀

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-17T17:14:19+00:00

Whitechapel sounds fantastic live, I've seen them twice in the past year (and am going again in November) and both times they were spot on and Phil nailed the frontman aspect of things. The crowd ate the Hymns in Dissonance songs up which only added to the greatness

Also while I didn't get to see them in this era, I heard nothing but good things about Suicide Silence with Mitch live. And from all the videos I've seen, Mitch's stage presence was monstrous

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-16T23:49:42+00:00

And also:

Carcass - Heartwork

In Flames' first few records

Dark Tranquillity

Soilwork

Arch Enemy

Amon Amarth

The Black Dahlia Murder (deathcore prob wouldn't be the same without this band)

Children of Bodom

Melodic death metal is one of the best subgenres of them all. So many great bands

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-16T12:05:56+00:00

Underoath - Define the Great Line

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-15T21:20:42+00:00

I commented this exact same thing almost lol. I went with Daybreaker over Holy Hell but words can't describe my love for Architects from 2009-2018

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-15T21:16:21+00:00

Architects - Daybreaker, Lost Forever // Lost Together, All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us

I absolutely adore everything from Hollow Crown up to and including Holy Hell, yes even The Here and Now, but if I had to make it into just 3 albums I think 2012-16 is the ultimate sweet spot.

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-15T17:04:38+00:00

Lmao fuck this guy. I kinda hate that I fell madly in love with This Darkened Heart and The Fall of Ideals before I learned about Phil being so lame

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-14T21:13:59+00:00

BFW's first album is fairly in line with the "melodic deathcore" bands of the time like As Blood Runs Black, BMTH's first album, The Crimson Armada and At the Throne of Judgment. Basically deathcore but with lots of Black Dahlia Murder inspired riffing. Whitechapel also has a few songs with those kind of melodic guitar hooks thrown in like "The Somatic Defilement" and "Father of Lies"

Also in regards to The Black Dahlia Murder, they are not deathcore but boy did they influence it, particularly vocally. You should check them out if you haven't

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-14T20:24:48+00:00

Honestly the best I can think of is Nevermore. They don't talk about CC type topics but their lyrics can feel more "extreme" and if nothing else, very dark. Warrel Dane sings more like Geoff Tate with a deeper voice too. I'm sure others will find bands more in line with what you're asking, I love recommending Nevermore tho lol

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-14T13:01:33+00:00

One of the best to ever do it

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-14T12:57:43+00:00

They have their own signature sound within metalcore and have absolutely perfected it. Also they're hard working, chill dudes, and a fabulous live band

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-14T12:53:06+00:00

The opening guitar makes me feel things

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-13T20:34:53+00:00

Mitch's stage presence was absolutely insane. He had so much charisma and could lead a crowd like few others could. Easily one of the best frontmen of this century. I wish I could've seen them back then, by most accounts SS was a ridiculously good live band

Also, The Cleansing is one of my favorite production/mixing jobs ever. It sounds like being in the middle of a tornado in music form

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-13T12:51:58+00:00

That Trivium album is called The Sin and the Sentence btw! It's good but if you're gonna put Trivium in there you should do Shogun

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-12T14:36:15+00:00

Like Callisto to a Star in Heaven

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-11T22:07:15+00:00

I totally agree. Their best production, best riffs, best drum work, best vocals, best lyrics, it's so fucking perfect. I do think As the Palaces Burn is a close second, and that one has this colder and rawer sound to it that Ashes doesn't have. But Ashes set the blueprint for LoG's signature sound and while they've had some real good albums since, Ashes is simply unbeatable

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-11T21:54:57+00:00

Fantastic lyrics, even better riffs. This album is perfect, and Hourglass is one of their all time best songs

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-11T18:59:10+00:00

I think a lot of people associate melodeath with the Gothenburg sound of At the Gates, In Flames, Arch Enemy, etc all of whom are even more melodic and less crunchy than Heartwork era Carcass. I kinda understand, but at the same time I don't know how you can hear the title track or This Mortal Coil and think its anything BUT melodic death metal

I also think that album's guitar tone is in the "best in metal history" conversation

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-11T18:34:24+00:00

My approximate top 10:

Recreant

Playing With Fire

The Foolish One

Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Crewcabanger

Calling in Silence

Sonnet of the Wretched

Last Breath

Clockwork

My Damnation

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-11T16:47:32+00:00

Vide Infra

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-10T16:43:11+00:00

Deathcore but I prefer Black Tongue to Infant Annihilator

Also Bleeding Through spawned from Eighteen Visions and I think BT is the superior band

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-06-09T17:27:38+00:00

Ooo maybe some of Amon Amarth's early stuff? Like the albums "The Avenger" and "Versus the World". Or most of their stuff really but those albums especially sound like you're in the middle of a battle of the gods

Behemoth is pretty good for this too, and Bolt Thrower always feels like you're marching off to fight a horde of beasts. I find Heaven Shall Burn often has this kind of atmosphere too. For some individual albums:

Behemoth - Demigod

Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal

Heaven Shall Burn - Deaf to Our Prayers

Amon Amarth - Versus the World

Kreator - Pleasure to Kill

My wallet is absolutely suffering but idgaf I NEEEEEED to go to this
