Possibly one of the greatest Sub-Genres in all of Heavy Metal. It combines the brutality, low guitar and bass tunings, complex and fast drumming, guttural vocals (while usually higher pitched than in normal Death Metal) with focus more on melody and harmony more than brutality. Electric guitars typically have complex rhythm, structure and riffs to them and combine low riffing, palm muting and power chords with "mini-solo" like parts that involve higher notes and odd note groupings. The genre started in the early 90's and has spanned from there. Some great/notable bands including a song are:
Carcass: Heartwork
Arch Enemy: Bury Me An Angel
In Flames: Jester's Script Transfigured
Dark Tranquility: Punish My Heaven
At The Gates: The Swarm
Dethklok: Laser Cannon Deth Sentence
Children Of Bodom: Every Time I Die
Amon Amarth: War Of The Gods
The Duskfall: Shoot It In
Callenish Circle: Suffer My Disbelief

She's shy at first, yet will open up as you become friendlier. She may have a dark past and doesn't express her feelings well, so be careful with certain topics. She can be a real softie at times, and a badass at others.
She loves making new friends, yet isn't really sociable so she never makes any. She's quite smart, and cool too.
She's unique, in more ways than one. Her name is MelodIE not MelodY. That's pretty cool.

Get the Melodie mug.Shes not a simple Melody, she's is MelodIE. There's only one Melodie in your life time.
She's one of her kind, she's mystical, could be compare to a mermaid, or the exotic girl of your dream. But like the myth, she's hard to be fully understand, and has her own way to apprehend the world.
She's aerial, witty, strong minded, sensible, clumsy, trustful, uncapable of hurting a fly, good to good people. You can't help thinking she's the most beautiful girl you have ever met, her smile and tan will get to you really fast.
She dances like a godness. And she was blessed by the gods. She is a horn of plenty, brings you luck. You picture her, as the dream girl walking on the beach, with her crystal clear laugh and flower necklace.
She's magic, exotic, pure. Although if you lose her trust, she will pull you away, but you will never think of doing anything bad to her.
You can resist anything but the temptation to fall for her, for the exotic dream.

Get the The melech mug.A variation on death metal, also known as "Melodeath." Bands in this genre seem to have borrowed many of the traits of thrash, and combined them with classical death metal. For instance, these bands tend to have longer songs, more guitar melody/solos, and much more diverse lyrics. Blast beats are used, but not quite as often as they are in the more classical style of death metal. Vocals tend to be a mixture of the higher black-metal-style growls and the lower death-metal-style ones. Some of the newer bands have even been making limited use use of clean vocals (i.e., Profane Omen, Absence, Chimaira). As far as the mood...this style tends to be a lot less doomy than black metal (i.e., more lively, and not so depressing).
It can be argued that this style began with the band Carcass and their release of the album called "Heartwork." Carcass was originally more of a Grindcore-type band, but slowly refined their style, and progressed into a more and more melodic form of metal, until "melodic death metal" or "melodeath" was born. Since then, hundreds of bands have come about exhibiting many of the same qualities, such as In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, Fear My Thoughts, Shadow, Light This City, The Autumn Offering, etc.
