I love the more mainstream variant melodic death metal, mostly from Sweden. So I want to explore more of that genres less polished roots. I'm grateful to any examples you can think of! 1

Well a band I like is Aeternam from Israel. They have a mystical, middle-eastern style, with clean and death vocals. 2

That's smart because I don't know why anyone would willingly buy a deathcore album. But if the logo is disguised to look like old school death metal then there's a chance that band's shitty album might get bought 😄

Segue Myles Posted November 19, 2022 Posted November 19, 2022 Rhapsody- Symphony Of Enchanted Lands II (The Dark Secret) Spotify labels this the first "Rhapsody Of Fire" release, but it was actually the last "Rhapsody", so I label it as such (I don't like the RoF moniker much, so as long as I can refer to them simply as Rhapsody, I will). This was a watershed album for them. They slowly evolve past their power metal days into symphonic metal, and it's a style that suits them, but lacks a little of the excitement of their initial run of albums. All the same, a song as grand and over the top as Unholy Warcry will never lose my attention. However this and the following album, the surprisingly soft Triumph Or Agony, are my least favourite albums of theirs in this phase of the band.

Yeah, I definitely agree. I had a moment with Lorna Shore but the stuff going on that's good is bogged down by the utterly unbearable issues you have brought up. It sounds like edgy metal for kids who just want people to think they are edgy lol. If Lorna Shore would break away from that garbage, they could be amazing. I appreciate a lot they have done but it's all firmly in 5/10 territory, 6 at best. I love a lot of metal that is frowned upon, but normally it's because it's cheesy or too poppy. In cases like Deathcore, I honestly think it's because it's straight up trash. If the best band in the genre can only be improved by abandoning said genre, you know it's got issues 😂 2

Apparently members have Nazi leanings? Afraid that puts me off. https://www.brooklynvegan.com/disma-part-ways-with-vocalist-following-years-of-nazi-affiliation/ This goes against all I stand for. Shame, I hear the talent, but if you want to use your music to celebrate Nazi Germany and endorse the idea that poor Hitler lost, I'm out. Still, I got four songs in and loved the atmosphere. Anything like Disma without those leanings would be much appreciated Treeduck (and I'm not getting at you for being a fan) Edited November 19, 2022 by Segue Myles
