A lot of songs from Death themselves, for example, have somewhat more traditional melodies. There's no hard break between melodic death metal and regular death metal. Melodeath has more traditional, accessible melodies.īut it's on a continuum. Strongly disagree with all the comments saying "yeah they're two completely different things."Īll death metal has a melody. And as someone else has already said great solos! That vocalist's style though I'm not too big of a fan of, but I'm gonna give them a try anyway. I can hear lots of rythme and even some dual melodies (as is often seem in melodeath). But again, to each their own.Įdit: just tried listening to that Idol album you mentioned, and I don't fully see your criticism. Music is a very subjective medium.Īs a fun fact, I can never understand why most pop, electro or similar songs get so popular they just seem so simple and boring to me, I always feel like something is missing. But bands like Persefone, Allegaeon, Edge of Sanity, Opeth, Defecto, and In Vain I enjoy quite a bit (some of those are even in my top 5 of all time).Īs you said, to each their own. If they sound too much like pure death metal, or just go way overboard with their technicality, I cannot enjoy them. It's the same with most progressive death metal bands. Bands like Entombed, Death, and Illdosposed I can at least enjoy to some degree.īut there's also a lot of melodeath that I don't like if it features way to many or way to long blast beats or a vocalist that I simply cannot stand (though if the instrumentals are good enough I can usually overcome the latter). Or bands were some melodeath bands have taken inspiration from. With straight up death metal I feel the same way, though I have come to like some death metal bands, that take influences from other genres. If you want to give progressive death metal another try some time, you might find Persefone, Edge of Sanity, or Opeth a bit more to your liking. Don't be that man! If you don't like progressive death metal, don't try to explain why it's bad music. think about the old crotchety man on the street shaking his fist at "heavy metal" because it's just noise and doesn't have any harmony or rhythm to it. So if you like pop more than jazz you probably like melodeath more than progressive death.īut. Progressive death metal has jazz and other decidedly non-pop influences. It definitely leans strongly towards progressive death metal and reminds me of Beyond Creation. And damn those are some juicy solos, with some fantastic bass lines that switch between melodic and rhythmic. So I looked up Idol by Horrendous and I'm liking what I hear. But you shouldn't say that it has "no rhythm, no melody, and no flow" just because it's different from the music you like. You might almost call it a separate genre from death metal, something that grew out of death metal. The rhythms are simpler, the melodies are more harmonious, the chord progressions and song structures are more traditional. Melodeath is basically death metal with pop sensibilities.
