Much like the big four of thrash, the big four of melodic death closely mirror them.
In Flames is like Metallica, started out with lots of hits but changed their style and got rejected by their fans.
Dark Tranquility is like Megadeth, Remains consistent in their style except for one album the had a very different style.
At the Gates is like Slayer, usually on one album is ever talked about. (Reign in Blood/Slaughter of the Soul)
Soilwork is like Anthrax, nobody really ever cared about them even though they were pretty great.

Random People on the Big Four of Melodic Death:
Billy: I really like Colony and The Jester Race but Soundtrack to Your Escape was pretty nu-metal and bad to me.
Jimmy: Projector was a bit "different" but was still alright but the rest of the others albums are great.
Bob (to Jimmy): Projector sucked man their other stuff was way better.
Tommy: Yeah At the Gates is pretty great.
Joel (to Tommy): Didn't they make Slaughter of the Soul?
Tommy:Yeah!
Joel: Any other albums?
Tommy: I don't know.
Robert (playing his Chainheart Machine CD at a party): Cause I'll rise (crickets) Robert (monotone voice): ...You'll fall
Roll the dice! My call

This is the theory for sounds where one specific sound doesn't start with its own climax.
Simpler said, the sound has to build up volume first and the climax starts 5-30 milliseconds later.
Looking at another perspective, it is very likely that drum sounds instantly reach their climax where as (mostly noticeable) EDM sounds that have some kind of distortion to them, don't reach their climax instantly, but get them more likely delayed.

Melodism is the best religion on planet earth. The Creators shall be worshiped by everyone and anyone who disrespects the Melodist church shall be punished by way of rick rolls and a repeating loop of Wonder Wall by Oasis.
