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

Get the Melodic Death Metal mug.A hot, rockin' Mama who lives life to the fullest and is as free as the wind. You can try to corral her, but you will never succeed! She can hang with the best of them.
That woman is so Melonia.

Get the Melonia mug.A Muffler with an excessively and impractically large diameter output pipe (or an excessively large tailpipe on cars with mufflers located further from the rear of the car) - especially one that is mated to a much smaller upstream exaust system. Typically used to make a car "look fast" as opposed to modifications that actually make a car faster.
This type of exaust is called a "mellon shooter" because it is large enough to launch a melon that would be inserted into it - if the engine had enough power.

Get the Melanie Martinez mug.An adjective used to describe either a comment made or an outfit worn by the woman who is now married to the Grabber in Chief.
My friend’s dismissive comments about her ex-husband who is also a sad and over-inflated windbag are nothing less than Melaniaesque!
