The finnish band Children of Bodom, I'm pretty sure most of you know of this, infact, this is probably a repost.

That riff is jizzworthy.
not much into CoB actually.
I like them overall, but they sound too much like power metal with growls.

I would love that formula, but I find it really difficult to get into CoB's growls. I dunno, they're just hard to make out.

They're too high.
Alexi is a fine guitarrist but his voice just isn't right for the band, at all
He sucks at singing in my opinion. They need a better vocalist.
New video for you guys. Fresh off the presses.

Just another compilation. Took advantage of the new 15-minute video limit.
CoB are very mediocre.
I might have said this before but to me Children of Bodom don't deserve HALF of their fame. They're mediocre musicians at best, Alexi is a horrid and pretty talentless vocalist who has only one tone he ever uses (Well, two. He changed is style after the second album, aka their last decent work), the riffs are all rip offs of other bands, and their lyrics are generally terrible and absolutely full of angst.
But I'm still gonna see them in April :v:
The mosh pits at their concerts are hella fun.
I really would've liked to watch a wall of death at a Lamb of God concert. They were banned from inciting them because of the injuries and stuff caused.

No. They were specifically banned from using the words "Wall of Death."
Upon playing Black Label, Randy now instead says "You know what to do! When the music kicks in, GO!"
Believe me, it still happens.

Really? What did they hope to achieve by banning the words?
Still that's awesome. I want to go to a LoG concert even more now.

I've been there too, mate of mine took an elbow to the face

Well since they are technically not saying "RUN INTO EACH OTHER AND START A SERIES OF MOSH PITS," they are absolved of responsibility.
So, it IS allowed.
Furthermore, oh my god watching that happen is awesome enough I'm so mad I didn't get GA tickets to Mayhem I could have been IN it.
Groove Metal seems to have a thing for moshes and stuff. DevilDriver had mosh pits and circle pits their entire show when I saw them and DD hold the record for biggest circle pit ever, at Download last year (or the year before, I forget). It was 3 football fields long.
It's like metalcore, but not like metalcore. The riffs aren't so fast and high that you can't headbang to them, but they don't have endless amounts of breakdowns in songs like metalcore. They blend speed and heavy riffing that induces mosh pits perfectly.
I don't know if I explained that well. So, groove metal just fucking owns.
Personally, I believe groove metal was engineered specifically for headbanging. Mid-paced riffs heavier than the mass of a neutron star over some super-juicy syncopated double-bass and powerfully-mixed snare/crash? You can't help but headbang to that.
When you put superheavy headbang-intense riffs in with a massive crowd of avid headbangers, things tend to clump together and you get circle pits, moshes, walls of death, etc.
Groove metal is simply the best genre for it. It's engineered for it.

Not to be a stickler, though, but isn't this the "Melodic Death Metal" thread, not the "Groove Metal" thread? I love groove metal as much as anyone (in fact, probably more than a good amount of people), but I don't like when amazing threads like this get derailed. Can we please try and rerail this train? Thanks. :smile:
Since everyone here likes the same music pretty much, it gets derailed sometimes.
Yeah, it's good to get some discussion that's a bit different once in a while :v:
And does anyone else not see the hype in pantera? I mean I like groove metal but I've just never felt it with them. I feel no substance in their music and it's really boring.
I like the riffs. I hate the quality of the recording.

Melodeath erry day
Just looking back at the post I have on the first page about In Flames fans..haha, glad to see people agree with me there. That band is great, new and old, even if SOME albums aren't as good as other albums (not saying any names). I've ran into so many people with elitist opinions about how "The only good In Flames is the old In Flames".. I mean great, listen to what you want, but the "New In Flames" is still the same bunch of dudes writing music. Just gotta be more open about what you consider good music ;)

Currently rereading this thread and I missed this video first time through I think. Made me lol, it's awesome! :v:
More trance melodeath? I think so.

Paths of Possession. Corpsegrinder of Cannibal Corpse's Melodeath side project. He only uses high vocals for it. Really good stuff.

complete fucking bullshit.
trance death needs to crawl into a hole and die, this is almost as bad as pendulum with inflames, and that was the absolutely worst shit i have heard in at least 5 years
How is it any different from folk metal or really any fusion genre?

This is awesome. I didn't know he had a side project.
All you people bitching about Wintersun taking forever to finish Time can officially shush up. I found a band that took longer to release an album.
[b]Kalisia[/b]. They released the demo of a few songs from this concept album in 1994. They just released the debut in 2009. That's right. It took them nearly [b]fifteen years[/b] to finish this album. And it is amazing.
Unfortunately, the way they did it (RE: it's all a single song; a 71-minute song split into 20 parts) makes it really god-damn hard to share on YouTube. They just split the song in any way they can, and I don't really know why. I would have preferred if they kept it all one song, but whatever.
This band doesn't really belong here, seeing as they're avant-garde progressive metal (with black metal, death metal, symphonic metal, industrial metal, and a whole fuckload of other genres all bundled up). The album is a mind-blowing concept album split into four movements. And get this: the guys made their [b]own fucking language[/b] for the aliens in this concept album.
Here's just a taste of their sound.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obwv46FHr8Y[/media]
Oh my God is it amazing. :byodood:
How the fuck can you take 15 years? I could understand 5 but 15 is just nuts.
They do sound really fucking good too.
I just looked them up on Metal Archives and apparently most of the members are in other bands as well. I guess if you combine laziness/writer's block with being in multiple bands who already have multiple full length albums out, then yeah, fifteen years becomes slightly more reasonable :v:.
Fucking awesome sound though. I just really doubt they spent a solid fifteen years working on that singular project.
I decided to go out and find some bands. Found these.
[b]A New Dawn - Winter[/b][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJpKIiin0DY[/media]
[b]A New Dawn - Ascension[/b][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPjI0PCyu7Y&feature=related[/media]
[b]Ad Vesperum - Coma[/b][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhKRCIpW-GQ[/media]
[b]Akrea - Imperium[/b][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rEzUJl0H8E[/media]
Oh yeah. Well. I went out to find some more (progressive) bands, too! Here's some that [b]I[/b] found! Unfortunately, they're not pure melodeath; most of them are progressive with melodic influences. They still count, right, though?
[b]Alley[/b] (Russian Opeth, more emphasis on the harsh than the soft; sounds a lot like Mikael Akerfeldt, too.)
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fJ26RnF1tc[/media]
[b]Atrophia Red Sun[/b] (Industrial progressive melodeath? I'll take that!)
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2eFMzCEdKk[/media]
[b]Becoming the Archetype[/b] ([b][highlight][i]IN THIS HOUR! THIS TOWER! SHALL FALL!![/i][/highlight][/b])
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqTNttO9FI8[/media]
[b]Demonic Resurrection[/b] (Symphonic melodic progressive black/death? Yum yum!)
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjmiZYYHIDk&feature=related[/media]
[b]Augury[/b] (Progressive folky melodeath? Okay. Why not?)
