Imagine music like Dissection but with classical forms, more complex harmony, and more polyphony.
Make it my man.
>>130144213If only it were that simple. Being realistic I'm gonna need years of practice and study. Which I plan to undertake.
>>130144245Good, I'm rooting for you. Ill buy your album if you make it.
>>130144245I'm also rooting for you but I will pirate your album
>>130144080This album sucks
>>130145012But enough about The Somberlain.
>>130145057It's cat killer music and melody doesn't belong in metal
>>130145069Point to me to a single metal song without a single melody in it

>>130144080>Imagine music like Dissection but with classical formsMost melodies were lifted or heavily influenced by trad folk music. And there is plenty of that around.
>>130144245I’m not rooting for you but I’ll stream your album
>>130145156>5 seconds in>there's a melodyGreat. SOD is based though
>>130144080I don't think you can really have both the distortion necessary for the metal sound and complex harmony and polyphony. It would just collapse into undifferentiated sludge.
>>130144080You should check out Obsequiae. Obtained Enslavement too, though they don't fit your specifications quite as well.
>>130148060>riffs are melodies now
>>130148195Precisely. Glad you're understanding now.
>>130148205Compared go "Melodic Black Metal" it's practically non-existent. Dissection is some fantasy fairy tune shit compared to metal you mosh to.
>>130148233>Dissection is some fantasy fairy tale shitAnd it's fucking amazing.
>>130148242it's not black metal though
>>130148276Not really but who cares
>Imagine music like Dissection but with classical forms, more complex harmony, and more polyphony.It's called Sacramentum
It's odd how the same people who define metal as purely stuff you can mosh to also usually don't consider metalcore metal.
>>130148320"Metalcore" is barely even a meaningful term. Some of it sounds like At the Gates and some of it is literally just pop music
>>130148345I think you know what I mean.
>>130148454Moshing is cringe behavior. I'm in it for music, not for running around with sweaty guys who don't wear deodorant.
>>130148289Sac is good but they aren't very complex. Songs are rather straightforward ABCD riff fests, there isn't much in the way of theme/variations or recursion. But with Swano's production wizardry and tons of guitar layers, they definitely elevated it into something cool.
It doesn't really work as well because the distortion covers up a lot of the notes being played
Emperor is exactly what you're looking for, esp their later albs.
