Yet Another Metal Thread
Bastardous Bassist:
That's like blaming Ripper for what happened to Priest while Halford was gone.
Storm Rider:
Or blaming Blaze Blayley for the Iron Maiden albums without Dickinson. I think Steve Harris just started running out of ideas.
Arch Enemy is pretty good, but I prefer their earlier albums (Wages of Sin, Burning Bridges) to their later stuff. Anthems of Rebellion was good, but not as resonant with me, and Doomsday Machine just seemed repetitive.
If we're talking melodeath, Carcass. Seriously, Heartwork is amazing. I agree with Miseratur on Dark Tranquility too. And obviously Possessed and Death, but those are more straight-up death than melodic death. Still, absolutely essential.
And Angela Gossow is pretty fucking intimidating, I must say.
Soidanae:
I think Steve Harris is still out of ideas.
Bastardous Bassist:
Eh, it doesn't matter (though Brave New World wasn't that bad, I haven't heard Dance of Death). Just listen to their old albums, because any new albums would sound pretty much the same. Not that I really have a problem with that.
KharBevNor:
Tbh, the only thing I found seriously wrong with Dance of Death was the album cover.
You can blame Blaze a bit for not being a particularly amazing lyricist, but I don't think Angela can take much flak. She writes about half the lyrics on the latest album I think? Maybe less. The change is pretty much all Michael Amott taking a heavy front lead over Chris Amott and changing his writing style. But hey, Arch Enemy is still, technically, a Carcass side-project, so he can do what he wants with it.
And guys. Good melodeath?
EDGE OF FUCKING SANITY.
