Get the sparky deathcap mug.A musical sub genre of death metal, which in turn is also a sub genre of metal as a whole. It started during the early 90's, and began to really take off by the mid 90's, when many pioneering bands of the style would release some of their best work. Many credit Carcass as the band that invented this style, and various bands from Sweden (In Flames, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates) would be credited as pioneers of the "Gothenberg sound", which came to be dominant in the genre later on.
Melodic death metal can best be described as a mixture of the melody/progression from NWOBHM and thrash metal bands, and the sheer brutality of traditional death metal. Vocals are usually growled/shrieked, but clean vocals are used as well. Lots of guitar harmonies are used, along with aggressive riffs and drumming. There is even use of acoustic guitar as well. Sheer ass-kickery at it's finest!
In the early 2000's and more recent years, this style would greatly influence many American metalcore bands. The style has continued to develop in Europe as well.

Get the Creeping Death mug.A french avant-garde black metal band which has released some of the more interesting releases in their respective genre in recent years. With their magnificent 2010 album, Paracletus, the band has skillfully woven the raw, dark, and evil energies of black metal with technical guitar-work. Constant fluctuations in pacing as well as unorthodox song structures make the bands' most recent releases sound much like controlled chaos. Their sound has only become more genius with the release of their 2012 EP, titled Drought. The band doesn't play live shows, only allows a handful of interviews, and doesn't release information about band members or future works. They are ghosts in black metal. Spectres who choose to speak more through their music than through their own words.
Person 1: Hey man, know any good black metal bands I can check out?
Person 2: Yeah, there's this one awesome one called Deathspell Omega.
Person 1: Cool name, but do they rely on corpsepaint as a gimmick like hundreds of other bands in their genre?
Person 2: Nope, they don't even bother playing live shows. They devote their time to creating awesome music instead of headlining in tours.
Person 1: That's awesome, I'm gonna give these guys a listen!
