btw melodic death metal recs please please please (you dont have to, or if you dont have any in mind thats ok! i just read the phrase 'melodic death metal' and nearly blacked out from excitement)

omg no its okay i'd love to give some recs!

first i'll give a little background. so melodic death metal (henceforth referred to as melodeath) is basically a stylistic offshoot of death metal that incorporates aspects of traditional heavy metal/nwobhm (esp Maiden, see Arch Enemy's Aces High cover) for more harmonized guitar riffs, melody, and higher/more discernable growls. Generally, then its pretty accessible, I know a lot of people who got into metal thru melodeath. It was not created by Carcass but their album heartwork was the first real major melodeath release. from their the sound was popularized in Sweden (its why you'll sometimes hear it referred to as the "Gothenburg sound"). Melodeath was also really important in the development of most of the mid-2000s genres that orbit My Chem, the Taste of Chaos and "screamo" sides particularly- i think most people into that era will enjoy melodeath.

So, here's a good beginners list of melodeath albums: - Carcass Heartwork (1993) Carcass started out as a pretty gross pioneer of grindcore/goregrind but switched gears after two albums. really interesting band that managed to be at the forefront of two very different death metal sub-genres. - At the Gate's Slaughter of Soul (1995), which I mentioned in the primer + were an incredibly important influence on modern melodic metalcore (killswitch engage, poison the well, as i lay dying) - Dark Tranquility The Gallery (1995) this miiiight be my favorite album here, its probably the most emotionally compelling melodeath release (lethe is so beautiful...) and i would easily rec this to a my chem fan - In Flames The Jester Race (1996) i don't listen to in flames lmao but they're one of the big three so. here they are - The Edge of Sanity Crimson (1996) probably the most experimental/lesser-known here but easily one of the genres highlights if you find you really like the style - Archy Enemy Wages of Sin (2001) another band mentioned in the primer but deserved a shout-out as one of my favs - The Black Dahlia Murder Nocturnal (2007) TBDM is easily the best of the mid-2000s melodeathy core bands - Amorphis Halo (2022) older band but i did want to include at least one good recent release

anyway, hopefully this is a good place for you to start and that melodeath lives up to your excitement !!

(130/?) To my brothers who've fallen before me, I will walk with you again.

Warning: This entry deals with suicide and two recent deaths in the metal community who are all but stated to have suicide be the cause of death. If this is a topic you are not comfortable with, there is no shame in skipping this. Have yourself a good day/night and I'll see ya' in the next one.

Another singer who most likely committed suicide. Sure, they haven't come out and outright say it, but the suicide prevention lifeline phone number? The language about reaching out and getting in touch with people? The affirmation that it's OK to ask for help? ---- You can't put that shit on standby, kemosabi. A lot of people sunk real low during this pandemic. We're still trying to crawl out of the wreckage so please, stay in touch with your bros, your family, your SO/romantic partner/fuckbuddy. Your tribe is important in times like these because they want to help you and sometimes, when possible, you hafta help them, capisce? ---- Look out and be kind to your tribe, fools, because cheese knows shit gets easily stacked against us. Now, if you can use this resource or you know of someone, don't be shy and spread that word(link is for Suicide Prevention resources worldwide). Take care now, and I hope I can see/read ya' tomorrow.
