Melodic Death Metal

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

Melodie

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.
"Man, Melodie is quiet, yeah?"
"Yeah, but she's pretty cool as a friend."

Melodie

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.
Before her, my world was silent. I want her to be my lady Melodie!
