Dark tranquility is great band but sometimes it seems that their music has to many synths, that's why I chose Amon Amarth, they have great guitars and powerful growls...

did anyone hear of a band called "At Dawn They Sleep" ?
I downloaded some songs from their album "Paradise Lust"
they sounded Real good !!!!! I would say they have the Gothenburg Sound

Anyone mentioned Insomnium yet? I know they're from Finland, but they're considered Melodic Death/Gothenbrug....

Hehe, it's okay. Hey maybe you should start a topic about Finnish bands on some other genre.. Cause they don't even have enough Gothenburgers to fill the nomination thing. =P

There is a best band from Finland poll already though. It's not for melo-death though.

Hmm yeah. =P

Out of those, and out of every scandinavian band of any genre, I'll say At The Gates.

before and after Clayman In Flames

DT come second

I voted In Flames but Clayman-era included....In Flames 1994 - 2000 was for me the best Melodic Death band.

Soilwork was fantastic on their first couple of albums including Natural Born chaos, but they took an unbelievable nose-dive after that and went from great to fuckin horrible in a matter or 3 years...

Dark Tranquillity has always been great eventhough I never really got into them as much as i did with In Flames (not sure why). "Damage Done" and "Character" are two class albums though.

At the Gates released probably one of the best albums with "Slaughter of the Soul" in 1995, but thats the only album of theirs that i really liked so I couldnt really vote them as the best.

Ive never been a huge fan of Amon Amarth, probably because its so slow and sort of bores me. Sure its probably heavier than the bands mentioned but still not really my cup of tea...

Arch Enemy - Cant stand them...

Edge of Sanity - Never bothered listening to them

arch enemy is one of my fave bands even though i cannot fucking stand gossow's grotesque singing. early soilwork fucking slays, dark tranquillity are great as well.....ever hear their cover song of sacred reich? they totally nailed it, man. at the gates were great, as well as the haunted! what other bands from there that were not on the poll?:banger:

Definitely Arch Enemy is by far, the best band of the listed above, it just a great band, with a great singer, and a really good song-writing, this makes Arch Enemy the full package, i really don't have anything to criticize to them, and they are one of my favorite bands... the other bands are quite good, but none of that bands has affected me the way Arch Enemy has done it...

@K7 always replys like that!!

Arch Enemy for me. Probably solely because of Wages Of Sin, awsome album.

In Flames for me

I voted for At The Gates because Slaughter of the Soul is an amazing album and is one of my favorites. They are really heavy and melodic, just a great band, and it's shame that thye are no more. Second would be DT of In Flames, and Arch enemy right after that...

In Flames, including Clayman! ...and mainly Clayman - it's just one of my favourite albums of all time...

For me it's just impossible to vote. I love every one of those bands listed. Great influence for my own music (even every album after Clayman with In Flames). Especially my vocals, but that's mainly influenced by Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, ex-In Flames).

I voted for At the Gates.

Slaughter of the Soul is a pretty good album, but I think With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness and Terminal Spirit Disease are extremely good albums.

Don't get me wrong, I love In Flames, but At the Gates are just one of those bands for me. I don't find any of their albums dissapointing.

Etliest i try do it if i can, specely in that kind of treads

amon amarth...these guys are very underrated...they have alot of great songs like "death in fire", "versus the world", etc

Cause AA are sooooo underrated I have voted them. Seriously, I really like them the best.

The only valid answer to this question is Dark Tranquillity, but I suppose if In Flames' career was only one song, they could make a case.

My cult favorites are In flames - Jester race, Clayman, and whoracle,
And Arch enemy - Burning bridges, Wages of Sin and Anthems. Plus these two bands got me into extreme metal.

I never found Amon Amarth to be that great, they are catchy, nice listening, but compared to Arch Enemy IMO isnt as extreme.

Amon Amarth, I just started listening to them and love them! In Flames are very close to have my vote but I am so tired of them right now.

A tough call, ill go with old Flames coz im a fan and thats the reason , but other bands are awsome too, it is very dificult to deside...

Arch Enemy hands down, the best band in this group! I would say best band period but some people might dissagree...
