 | | Melodic death metal (sometimes referred to as Gothenburg metal or melodeath) is a subgenre of death metal, a form of extreme metal. |
 | | Death and Morbid Angel, often considered the "godfathers" of death metal, are primary influences on the genre, and its progenitors include Dark Tranquillity, At the Gates, In Flames, and Carcass, with the release of their Heartwork album. |
 | | Most melodic death metal bands are from the Scandinavian and Northern European regions, especially from Sweden and Finland, notable Finnish examples include Norther and Kalmah, and to a lesser extent Children of Bodom, whose exact style is a subject of debate amongst fans, however they are more often than not classified as melodic death metal. |
