Question For Jlol And Metalheads

[ardillacid]

I'm looking for a band like In Flames but am too lazy. Any recommendations? I tried All that Remains but couldn't do it, not really sure why. They seem almost pop-ish. Bleh. I have a serious man crush on Anders Frieden.

Don't judge.

Not judging-- just laughing.

well, Im at a disadvantage with my computer(with all of my tunes) being currently borked up. my memory isnt good enough to rattle all the good stuff off.

but in the mean time, check out these guys. not sure how close i can get to inflames(their background is pretty varied, so ill just list good melodic death metal acts.

Insomnium
some really beautiful lyrics from these guys if you look em up, and consistently amesome guitar.

great melodies and lyrics for this song

[spoiler]In the evening of a grey day, a bleak day
I strayed into the dim silence of the hallowed trees
Where the fir-trees whisper of those been, those gone
Where the sacred earth still hides all those we once loved

“O father, hear these words, your son is not made for this world
Faint-hearted and careworn, into this vile life I was hurled
In the woods the fiends sigh, I swear I heard the demons neigh
On the seashore I espy the dreadful void under the tides”

Ill-assorted with this life, these cares
Each moment I am waiting for the worst to come my way
Dark berry from my mother’s womb; a frail one
I was affrighted at my birth, bewildered from the start

Better it would be to stay in the shades
In the thicket of the dead, in the groves of death
Here I would lie to the end of the days

“Hear me now, my hapless son
Warn away all yours fears
Make good use of your brief days
Life may be grim but death is more austere
By yourself you sit and wait
By yourself you will have time to repent”

“In these lowly halls
No moon will beam, no sun will shine
In these narrow rooms
No tears are seen, no laughter heard”

At the dawn of a quiet day
I strolled from the woods, returned to the hearth
And with a restful mind I roamed
The dreary shores, the darkling wilds
Greeting all the days that befall
Taking life as it comes[/spoiler]




Amon Amarth. on the heavier end of things, all lyrics about viking mythology, heavy guitars, melodic hooks and solos.

Ensiferum. more folky, razzle dazzle razzle dazzle stuff
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyFjFJudI98&feature=related

Wintersun. guitarist from ensiferum's masterpiece solo work. little more straight metal. no death vocals in this particular song, just epic.

Dark Tranquility. Probably closest here to inflames, but i prefer them. big backlog of albums.

Opeth. If you havent already, you need to give these guys a chance, they have everything from beautiful clean singing(sometimes with duets) toone of the best death metal vocals. really razzle dazzle unique guitar playing, loads of varied sounds, beautiful melodies, crushing riffs etc. also they kick butt live.

Amorphis is a good bit like InFlames, good mix of very heavy and melodic clean stuff.

At the Gates. Early melodic death metal band, similar to early InFlames.

Quo Vadis. one of my favourite bands, from Quebec, got some excellent riffs.
