"Everything avenged sevenfold are doing has been done better by legitimate metal bands this is fact." I don't agree with you on this, well maybe on the last album "Nightmare", but on the previous albums no, especially "City of Evil" and the Self-titled album, i think on those albums they are kind of unic. And thank for the recommendations I'll check 'em out.

There's nothing unique about the band. I'm familiar with those albums so please don't think these are the ravings of someone who just hates the band. The melodies and hooks the band employs are incredibly basic. guns n roses is a more credible band so far as I am concerned and they are far from credible. Iron Maiden, Saxon, Angel Witch and countless other NWOBHM bands were playing melodic, catchy metal which was not simplified to the lowest common denominator. UFO and Scorpions also employed this style of metal. Melody and hooks are also used frequently in power metal without being little more then the most basic form possible. There never was nor will there ever be anything unique or original about avenged sevenfold so far as I am concerned.

I doubt' date=' and I don't mean this offensively, that you could name off as much as I could, I mean I listen to a lot BM. It's the main sub-genre I listen to but I do imagine that you could name off quite a few yourself. Not trying to make this into a competition just saying that I might have more of an interest in BM that most people.[/quote'] I suppose it's possible. You are new here and I'm not as familiar with what you listen to as others here, but black metal does tend to be my most listened to genre, followed by death metal, doom metal, and thrash metal. I definitely don't know every band out there, but I have a pretty good understanding of it and a well rounded collection from most older scenes (not as much modern stuff though).

I pretty much listen mostly to BM as I love the dark atmosphere it brings. I also like the raw under-produced sound, combine that with the high pitch vocals and it is the most intense sound I've ever heard. That doesn't mean I don't like band like Dark Funeral or Carpathian Forest or Gorgoroth, I just prefer the raw sounds. Anyways given the age difference I imagine that you would know more than me as you've had a longer time to listen to BM.

I think I remember you saying somewhere that you were early 20's, I'm only 25, so not that much difference. I've been listening to metal for about 11 years, and I play in 2 bands, one doom/death (Nevertanezra), and a new black/thrash project that doesn't have a name yet. I listen to all kinds of different stuff, but the bulk of my listening tends to gravitate around those 4 subgenres, as well as most of their variants. However, black metal probably takes up the biggest chunk of my collection, if I had to guess, I would say that I probably had somewhere between 400-600 black metal albums, depending on how liberal your definition of it gets.

I did a list of my top 100 black metal albums on another forum, maybe I'll repost it here. I would like to see responses, but if it only serves to help people find new albums that they may enjoy, that's also cool.

Would you have anything akin to Destroyer 666? I also like a lot of the underground and under-produced BM like Secrets of the Moon and Argar. I also listen to melodic BM like Mactätus and Graveworm and Dimmu Borgir. I pretty much list to all BM so just go ahead and send me anything BM except Burzum, I have a grudge against Varg.

If you like D666, check out other black/thrash like Aura Noir, Nifelheim, Desaster, Flame, etc... I have a newer Secrets of the Moon album, and it's certainly not under-produced, it's actually really polished. As for more melodious bands, I prefer Swedish and Greek stuff like Rotting Christ, Varathron, Necrophobic, Sacramentum, Unanimated, Dissection, etc... Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Amazon was out of stock on Caledonia. I ended buying it on itunes.

That's one of the two albums I have from them, Crogacht is also quite good, maybe even better than Caledonia.

[BlackFuckingMetal666]

My favorite Melodeath band is Insomnium or Kalmah.

[Viking]

Yeah I have all of their albums now. My friend gave me all their albums cuz he is really into them too.Haven't listened to Crogacht yet though

Re: Looking for an awesome Melodeath band?

My favorite Melodeath band is Insomnium or Kalmah.

I don't know if I could pick a favorite... Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

[RelentlessOblivion]

I can easily pick a favourite melodeath band, there's only two in my collection as best as I can tell and Dark Tranquillity are the better of the two.

I must say BAN you are very indecisive when it comes to music or at least picking a favorite.

[Viking]

I definitely have my favorites. Amon Amarth and Suidakra.

When you have as much music as I do, it gets a bit difficult to pick one clear favorite in many areas.

I've been digging "Mind's I" again lately, too, and the wife and kid seem to like it also so that's a win... But IMO they jumped the shark after that. I really just really absolutely don't like Stanne's clean vocals.

[FatherAlabaster]

Also +1 to the Amorphis recommendation, I've been playing "Elegy" a lot lately though my favorite has always been "Karelian Isthmus". I'm sure OP has heard the older October Tide albums...? New one is garbage to me, but the stuff with Jonas is great.

[Infernal_Outcry]

If you like progressive death metal, you might like my band! /shameless plug

[IntergalaticGoose]

Something really mellow and melodic...maybe progressive? With some awesome vocals. Yes, very vague, but what the hell.

Re: I want some slow, melodic, and #2deep4u metal songs Hey sorry but I have no Idea xD I listen to mostly fast paced smash your face in metal. BTW did you check out Razor?
