 Melodic black metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melodic black metal differs from traditional black metal, because there are more keyboards, orchestral pieces, and clean vocals incorporated in the music.
Melodic black metal often can be confused with Norwegian gothic metal, and there are some bands that are classified as both (Summoning for instance).
This genre draws its routes from black metal, melodic death metal and occasionally doom metal.

 Black metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Black metal enthusiasts also started to terrorize other notable "death metal" bands that were touring their country or in neighboring countries, on the basis of their lack of apparent "evilness".
Black metal is a musical genre which emerged in the early 1980s predating the great expansion of heavy metal 'extreme' genres.
Most black metal bands often have lyrics that take the form of Satanic, Pagan, or occult themes which blaspheme Christianity.

 Crossover - Site of Possessed God
Crossover are a thrashy death metal band from Greece.
A great melodic black metal album with many keyboard riffs and melodies.
This is pure metal with some death metal influences in some parts and interesting vocals that give a different feeling from the one expected (sort of gurttural in some parts and thrash in others).

 melodic black/death metal from North Carolina
METAL SIDE: Dreamscapes of the Perverse plays the music, which I would label as melodic black/death metal.
METAL SIDE: In Europe bands, which play melodic black/death metal are commercially successful (of course, comparing to bands playing other forms of metal, not, let's say, hip-hop or pop).
Demoniaque: I listen to various forms of black metal, death metal, thrash, old school metal, power metal, prog, classical music and Celtic folk.

 A Guide to the Progressive Rock Genres
Grindcore was a combination of the metal sound and punk energy that tended towards short songs, dissonance and controversial lyrics.
Black Sabbath and Judas Priest were a large influence on what became the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal), who was the precursor to the heavy metal of the 80s and 90s and included groups in its lineage such as Saxon, Iron Maiden and Diamond Head.
Gothic metal generally comes in various strains, but the music tends to the romantic and symphonic, often with a lead female vocalist or a combination of melodic female vocals and male death vocals.

 The Abyss - Melodic Black Metal
Review: A melodic black metal formed of liquid strumming melodies which intertwine to harmonize in suggestion of spaces beneath its surface, creating an ambience in which the violence of the music is forgotten in the breathtaking motion of its melody.
A side project of Swedish death metal maniacs Hypocrisy, the Abyss is melodic and fast black metal that is probably the best output from this group of musicians.
Outlined in shrikes of mortal alienation on top of a blasting tirade of even percussion, this music mixes simple grindcore extremity into the sense of melody that gave black metal the voice of epic poetry.

The album opens with thunderous drums and growling vocals, moves on to melodic black with black vocals and sparsely used death vocals to technical death.
The songs get softer in tone as the album progresses, and more intricate and more melodic.
The final two songs are by far the best songs on the disc, mostly because they have an identity of their own.

 BNR Metal Pages -- Gehenna
After several years of inactivity, the band is back with a new album, and somewhat of a new direction, as WW drops the death metal tendencies of their last couple of albums in favor of an old-school black metal approach.
Though Gehenna's most recent album (Murder) is in the death metal field, most of this Norwegian band's time has been spent in the black metal camp.
The next two albums showed a move toward a more aggressive, but still melodic, black metal style, somewhat like Emperor at that time.

 Astarte, Icarus Witch, Opera IX, Shade Empire
Magick Records, the all-metal sub-label of Cleopatra, has just released four new albums of pure molten steel and avant-garde black metal gusto for all.
Blending black metal, industrial, and orchestral with a gothic spin to it all, Shade Empire are a fine melodic black metal band that melt high quality and high caliber together into a sonic explosion of substance and style.
This ep is four songs of pure headbanging 1980's metal in the greatest tradition of Priest, Ozzy, and Maiden.

 Death/Black Metal music
Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk is the greatest black metal album ever made imo.
When I speak about Black Metal the bands that crop up are Burzum, Meads of Asphodel, Emperor (listen to Prometheus, fucking ace album for those into technical black metal) and Darkthrone.
A lot of death metal bands would be GREAT if they had a singer who didn't sound like he was spewing shit out of his mouth.

All the elements that make up the music on this album follow with the aesthetic standards that are adopted by mostly ALL the bands in the 'melodic' black metal genre.
These are some brutal black metal rasps that actually sound convincing, aggressive, and the lyrics are intelligible and articulated very well.
I'm not saying it's a BAD album, in fact, 'Diabolical' is a solid piece of melodic black metal work.

 ipedia.com: Cradle of Filth Article
Whilst this is for the most part true, they still have black metal undertones in their music, and after leaving Sony near the beginning of 2004, claim their forthcoming album Nymphetamine (to be released summer 2004) as their return to actual black metal.
Cradle of Filth is a British melodic black metal band formed in 1991.
In 2003 they signed with Sony Music, and produced their fifth full-length studio album, 2003's Damnation and a Day, which was much less melodic black metal than symphonic metal with black undertones, or what is referred to as black symphonic metal.

 [Melodic Black Metal]Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane - Musician Forums
The sound slows down for some tremelo picking, with harmony before returning to it's black metal state.
I especially like the riff after the guitar part, full of harmony, melody, and speed, this harmony and speed weaves itself in and out of the rest of the riffs in this song which weaves itself in and out of the verse and chorus riffs, ending with the solo from the beginning of the song.
The rest of the song consists of more tremelo picked chords, this part is also less melodic black metal.

 The Metal Crypt - Reviews
So the bottom line is that even though some riffs on this debut album did sound a bit too generic, the final result is a great Melodic Black metal album that most fans of the genre should appreciate.
WOY uses a bunch of acoustic guitars and so, but this band is heavier, more aggressive, and focuses more on distorted riffs mixed with some all-around harsh vocals.
I'll admit it right now though, the vocals sound a bit weird from time to time (like when two vocalists are singing, and their two different tones don't match).

 National Socialist Black Metal: Veles
Black Hateful Metal Far into the forest metal ideal and using streams of melody to regulate the surge and flow of battle, Veles make anthems to the darkness in man that are appealing, soft and comforting, like the idea of death after hypothermia takes effect.
Night on the Bare Mountain Melodic black metal with a ceremonial use of dynamic structure introduces the Veles style with the hardcore riffs of the demo wound into black metal sweep-picking power chord anthem.
Instrumental obscurity and a lust for chaos identify this album.

 Doom-metal.com: Reviews - Black Swan
The music itself is pretty basic melodic black metal with the focus on melancholy.
This is basically a non-doomy melodic black metal release.
In fact if you were to pick one doom band that plays the most similar music to the one that Black Swan plays, then it would have to be Winterkou.

 Amazon.com: Fading Away into the Grave of Nothingness: Music
Oathean is a South Korean band labeled as melodic Black Metal by The End Records, but to me, they seem more like a Death Metal band with strong Scandinavian influences, some black-ish vocals and synth arrangements, and bits and pieces of folk music.
However, the song being very melodic, it manages to hold the listener's interest, as long as they don't want to hear anything ground-breaking.
He does play fine within the context of the song, but his tone is a bit dry and he is mixed higher than the bass and guitars and kind of drowns them during some moments.

 Dawn - Melodic Black Metal
For all of the aggression and high-speed impatience of this music there is melodic music crafted with small intricacies in the center of these stalky, supportive riffs.
Methods such as these have been applied before in better ways but the fusion is interesting here in that unlike most death metal bands, it tries not to break its pace except for interludes like old style metal bands.
Over it all high shrieking vocals score out a pattern of relentless verbal assault, as if reminding the listener of the dark side of beauty: it must end in death.

Tristania, This Norwegian 6 Piece plays a beautyfull kind of melodic black Metal, with Female vocals, keyboards, and great violins, which i believe are recorded with a keyboard since they didnt seem to have a violinist at the gig on their video.
Helheim, this band's music is great fast paced black metal, the vocals took a while to get used though as they are so unorthodox, but after a while the whole thing sounds fucking great.
These following mp3s are taken from the debut release which is a self titled cd, The music is a melodic Kind of bm reminiscent of Burzum's Filosofem with the slow paced music, lots of atmosphere and the minimal use of lyrics.

 The Metal Crypt - Reviews
In the past couple of years, the band has made it clear on multiple occasions that while they found some of their early influences in Black Metal, they do not adhere to the ideology.
That is quite an accurate statement, especially looking at the lyrical content of this album, which essentially deals with rebellion, lack of justice in today's society, political hypocrisy, and maybe even a little bit of conspiracy theory paranoia.
Better late than never, the band's first full-length album came out a few months ago, with a slightly-changed lineup.

Their previous albums "As The Angels Reach The Beauty" (1999), "Scourge Of Malice" (2001) and "Engraved In Black" (2003) established the young band from Tyrol as serious competitors to acts like CRADLE OF FILTH, DIMMU BORGIR or SATYRICON.
