Melodic Death Metal Discussion and Appreciation

Seems like there aren't enough Melodeath lovers here. In my opinion this subgenre is great. It fuses death metal vocals and riffs with melody and deep lyrics creating something very interesting.
One of the bests song of my favorite band.  With a great riff and a fast tempo , also has very interesting lyrics.
Also this band progressed a lot from their first release and each album sounds differently but still has the same Dark Tranquillity feeling in each one.

I definitely like melodeath, too, but I do think that the Gothenburg-sound has become a bit watered-down recently. Still, nothing beats Slaughter of the Soul, Heartwork, or the first couple of Arch Enemy albums. A newer melodeath band who are prette awesome are Chariots of the Gods.

I don't listen to melodic death metal regularly, but there is one band that has gotten a top tier ranking from me: The Arcane Order.  Not the most well known one, but one of the best.

If Soilwork applies as melodic death metal (and I guess they do), I think quite a few of their albums are worth listening to. I espeically enjoy the new one.
