I prefer chunkier stuffs.
>>130676014Melodeath is so good that you have to post fringe examples that commonly get posted as "Melodeath sucks but..." opinions.
>>130680893>"Melodeath sucks but..." opinions.People only post those because they get shamed for liking melodeath
>>130680893Those are the /metal/ contrariansThey usually post either Intestine Baalism, first At the Gates album or Arghoslent

>>130676014I don't know which crowd is more insufferable"that's not real metal" or "that's not real punk"
>>130685764those are good banda, to be fair
>>130693282Yeah they are, but a combination of underground/respected death metal blogs in the late 90s/early 2000s constantly calling them "the only TRVE melodeath bands", Metal-archive's and /mu/'s continuous circlejerk of them in the 2000s, and RYM discovering Intestine Baalism in the 2010s really kind of makes them meme bands in the genre.also new intestine baalism when
>>130693466you need to understand the metal climate of the 90s and 2000s to understand why intestine baalism and arghoslent became cult classics within the genremelodeath was borderline mainstreamas inyou'd see 12 year olds listening to in flames and dark tranquility and watch WoW or runescape gameplay montages with scar symmetry and shit blaring, and I believe in some countries like finland they even straight-up played melodeath on the radiobut the melodeath that was really popular wasn't the underground kind of melodeath, but the melodeath with clean vocals, twinkly keyboards, chorus verse chorus verse song structures, etc and that shit was everywhereit was all over youtube in the 2000sit was what 50% of the people who said they were into "extreme metal" actually listened toshit that barely resembled death metal structurally or conceptually at all except for having death growls and even then death growls were becoming exceedingly sparser in the more popular songs these butt-melodeath bands were shitting out.so when you start seeing "elitist" death metal sites and newsletters like ANUS who frequently shit on melodeath outside of the early swedeath precursors start saying "okay guys hear me out, I know we hate melodeath but have you heard about this new band, arghoslent/intestine baalism, they're not like the others I swear" it's going to turn a bunch of heads.
My boys deserve some love
