Well that would be one long-ass list! If you just assume that Frown is right about everything, you should be good.

Gonna make a few recs here. Don't know if you've ever heard one of my favourite bands, Threshold? I heartily recommend their last two albums

March of Progress

For the Journey

Be interested to see what you think.

You know, if you started posting albums people actually wanted to talk about then maybe people would start responding like they do here.

Yeah The Black Dahlia Murder tend to get thrown in there with deathcore. I mean you could make a case for a few albums, like Deflorate. But this one is way closer to Melodic Death Metal.
