just a few...
I think these album covers are very good especially the Cannibal Corpse one and the Bolt Thrower cover actually reminds me of a Kansas album cover

Kansas... not familar with them, would have to see the one in question...

and yeah, I love the Gore Obssessed cover I put it.. which was the German cover, done by Vincent Locke, who did virtually all the classic artowrk for the band.

One of the few cencored covers that look better than the uncencorced. Would order a German copy just for that artwork.

I think Cynic's album covers are pretty epic...

Hahaha Kansas is about as far from death metal as Pluto is from the Sun. But if you look at one of their album covers you may know what I mean.

Hey BastardofYoung, I'm really enjoying None So Vile. Thanks for the recommendation! I also got Whisper Supremacy which is pretty great too.

So what's the general consensus on melodic death metal? From any region, but first lets talk about the Gothenburg scene in the mid to late '90's. It was really Carcass' '94 album Heartwork that kick started the genre, but it's really hard to narrow down exactly when the fracture started. It seems like the subgenre really divides fans of death metal, some think it a nice advancement of the genre, taking on new forms to remain fresh, and others think it goes against the entire ethos of the genre.

If there's one thing that can be said about it, it's that it really does allow a good entry point for metal listeners to get into extreme metal, so it does have that one advantage that a lot of other sub genres cannot claim ownership of.

I`d say it kicked off with Carcass as well with Heartwork, before moving over to its true birth place in Gothenburg with the big 3 bands there At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity and In Flames. Other bands such as Hypocrisy were pretty influential and there was also a large movement in Finland as well with bands like Amorphis (the Finnish bands sound very different to the Swedish ones) Looking on wiki there are a huge amount of bands under melodic death metal and I`d be surprised just how many of them people on this forum actually know of! Most of them are European bands and mostly from Sweden and Finland.

Personally, I`d say the average death metalhead probably wouldn`t be that impressed with the melodic version, as its basically a weakening of their beloved sound! As for an entry point into extreme metal, melodic death metal I`d say was a great starting point.
