My favorite out of these would be Dark Fortress, a German (I think) band, my favorite album by them is Stab Wounds. I reccomend them to everyone!
Oh and please keep on topic and try not to turn this into a genre battle.

Definitely Dissection, been one of my top favourite bands for quite some time now, haven't heard anyone better than them yet ;-p

Written by [user id=1909] on 20.02.2009 at 14:24 Well from a personal view, I like Dissection more than Old Man's Child and Dimmu. The music of dissection have given me quite a few chills down my spine - still do, and had a major impact on me. While Old Man's Child didn't have the same strong effect. Old Man's Child have definitely been more solid in their releases for sure, and their music is great. Yeah, I agree about the riffs with Galder. Just took a quick listen with both bands, much more punch in Old Man's Child  But Dissection still gets my vote nevertheless. =)

I'm not gonna vote, becuase I can't really say I know enough about this subgenre myself. But I DO know that it can be very captivating. I'm actually getting into some Dragonlord..... Funny thing about Dark Fortress though, their name is exactly what Dimmu Borgir translates into in their native language.

Yeah, I guess we should brush up on our Norweigian.

I won't vote here, because the list is irrelevent... - Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth may be "sellouts" but they are not Melodic BM - Graveworm is either Black/Goth or Extreme Goth

Dark Fortress!! I was going to vote for Graveworm, but Fortress has been more consistent. They are the kings of melo-black.

I voted for Graveworm. Most because of the "As the Angel Reach Beauty" album. It's awesome!

I gave my vote to Rotting Christ, they're one of the best bands out there. I like their whole discography, and they have always been on the melodic side of the BM for me, but with latest album I can imagied they got some new fans due to the *meldodic* part. And well, Theogonia is just superb, that is easly one of the best MB albums out there, even outside the genre one of best albums. So they easily take the throne in this one. As for the rest (early) Dimmu Borgir can be neat, specially due to Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, but later albums very inconsistent, had some great tracks, but wholesomenly they weren't as great. I have always considered Graveworom more of an extreme gothic metal, than melodic black. I like some of their stuff, but no nearly enoguh to make them best. Goes some for Dark Dortress. I never liked COF, what a horrible band with horrible music and horrible stage preformance.

I really liked Dimmu Borgir's first album For All Tid a lot. It's epic and chilling.
