| | It contains more melodic guitar riffs and solos, which are sometimes acoustic, and also occasional 'clean' singing as opposed to traditional death grunt vocals. | | | The song structures are generally more progressive, using diverse themes throughout the song. | | | It is not certain what band originally started the Gothenburg sound, but it is widely accepted that In Flames, At the Gates, and Dark Tranquillity are three major popularizers of the Gothenburg sound, and some of the only widely known bands to practice it. |

| | Demigod vary their approach from flutterthrob melodic riffage to riffing based more on the percussive power of a chord and variants off its return, in the style of death metal open-string bashers or speed metal rockers. | | | Overwhelming all other characteristics through deep saturation is a core direction in death metal, with a strong concept of heavy and impactive music played well, as tight structures building into roaring images of song. | | | Clearly well-played but not necessarily "technical" this band have an enlightened and selective eye for editing their own material, as these songs are in arrangement and composition tight and enduring of many listens. |

| | Melodic death metal has become the new power metal — a stagnant musical style that has began to breed musicians with no desire to play anything that hasn't already been played before. | | | They take the already-become-cliché Gothenburg death metal style and run with it, very rarely doing anything to up the ante or impress the listener. | | | I can only assume that this band is simply so enamored with melodic death metal, and the bands that have come before them, that they would rather imitate than innovate. |

| | Instrumentals can be found in the melodic journey known as "Dialogue With The Stars" and the title track, which ends the album with acoustic guitars, tribal percussion and female vocalizations. | | | Also of note is the metalized cover of Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts", a surprising choice for a cover, though its always more interesting for metal bands to cover non metal songs, and In Flames do a fantastic job at doing the song justice while delivering it in their own style. | | | And although In Flames are doing nothing totally original, they nevertheless perform their melodic "death" metal just as good, if not better, than any other band treading a similar musical path. |

| | Cadaver - Melodic Death Metal |
| | For this time, this album was ahead of the curve with harsh open-throated vocals in contrast to the guttural thunder of most death metal, and attempted a complexity of interlocking structures in evenly-distributed linear patterns that rivals that of Neurosis for schizophrenic logic. | | | In its depths of expression, this release falls in metal history alongside the first Darkthrone album as an effort to make dark metal, between the aggression of death and the somber nature of other morbid music, which moved the mind into a hypnotic ambience of negativity and disillusionment. | | | Review: A prescient band emerging late in the influence of Scandinavian death metal, Cadaver merged the rising trend toward melodic composition in death and black metal with a tendency toward progressive music with intensive rhythmic pause and inflection used for structural purposes. |

| | Some of the guitar work here borrows more from real death metal than most melodic DM bands, and this album is quite heavy at times, giving it a less "diluted" sound than what one would usually expect from this genre. | | | I can't say this revived my interest in the genre, but it sure was better than most melodic DM albums I heard in the past three years or so. | | | The vocals are the usual for the genre, a lightened death growl style that gets the job done. |

| | We've already seen one wave of melodic death metal superstars evolve in their own respective directions, but the fact that new bands are still releasing albums that embody Gothenburg nostalgia and yet still sound modern and relevant is incredible. | | | For many, Gothenburg was the second coming of "true" metal; wailing twin guitar melodies glorified classic 80's riffery while a death metal groundwork kept the music adequately heavy for modern listeners. | | | Enforsaken actually know how to write genuine, interesting melodic death metal tunes, and gear their musical exploration toward a time when melodic death metal remained a vast, fertile soundscape that few bands had explored. |

| | This record has a thrashy base that reminds me of the earlier melodic death metal scene, before clean vocals crept into the mix-before the actual 'death' was taken out of melodic death metal. | | | The most recent 'supergroup' in the melodic death metal scene, Nightrage culminates talent from At The Gates, Evergrey, Dream Evil, The Haunted, and Exhumation. | | | There are actually two vocalists: Lindberg does the death metal vocals, and Evergrey's Tom S. Englund does melodic vocals. |

| | Demilich - Progressive Melodic Death Metal |
| | Review: Demilich hold true to the melodic tradition of Finnish metal by merging the heavy metal tradition of rich tonal space liberated by abstract conceptions of harmony with death metal, layering their ideas into songs where complexity silhouettes but does not illustrate an overall thematic space via postmodernist metastructuralism. | | | One might call it "virus study music," as what it traces is evolution of a song from basic principles unique to that song, in an information age version of progressive music. | | | There are brutal parts, of blasting and rhythmic intensity, while most of the rest runs through wild cyclical riffs and transitions into a confusing maze of tones that reassemble as an understanding in the head of the listener after the influence of time reducing musical input is removed. |
