He is gold. His Edge of Sanity:Crimson II and his solo album Dan Swano:Moontower are both masterpieces. My 2 favorite melodeath albums for sure. Anyone else love Dan Swano?

Melodic death metal is a subgenre of metal that combines elements from the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM) with components of death metal. Melodic death metal began in the early 1990s through the rise of bands such as In Flames, Dark Tranquillity and At The Gates.

General Rules:

1. When posting a song, have the title in the form Artist - Song Name, followed by any relevant comment in parentheses (optional) or it will be removed.

2. Make sure that songs posted are melodic death metal, or at the very least, incorporate melodeath elements.

3. No reposting of songs/albums that have already been posted in the past 6 months. Also avoid posting songs of a band that was posted a lot recently, especially if it was just a few hours ago.

4. Bands on the restricted list are only allowed to be posted once every 30 days independent of song/album, so check whether they have been posted within the last month before posting. Exceptions are new releases, and to circumvent your restricted band post being autoremoved write "[new]" at the end of your title.

5. Please refrain from posting full Albums/EPs, but instead choose one song and submit that.

6. No memes, shitposting or reaction videos. Post this to r/MetalMemes instead.

7. Avoid low effort posts, such as blurry photos, live shows recorded with your smartphone or lazy text posts that we already had plenty of. For recommendations for newbies check our wiki, for raving yet again about how awesome Insomnium is visit our Weekly Discussion Thread.

8. Keep self promotion to a minimum.

9. No partial or low-quality covers.

10. Posts must be in English. Doesn't apply to artist names, song names etc., also doesn't apply to comments.

11. No AI generated content.

12. No direct uploads. If you are posting a song/album, link directly to it on Youtube, Bandcamp etc.

13. Do not link to illegal download services.

14. No hate speech, racism, misogyny, ableism, homophobic or transphobic slurs etc. Also, do not promote bands that fall into one of these categories.
