	Black metal music
		Black metal generally consists of heavily distorted, extremely fast guitar playing, screamed vocals, and fast drumming.
		Black metal congealed in its current form through the influence of Norwegian bands such as Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem, Immortal and Emperor, who began with the earlier style and introduced elements from mainstream heavy metal, classical music and hardcore punk and popularized the style to a growing underground audience.
		Black metal enthusiasts also started to terrorize other notable "death metal" bands that were touring their country or in neighboring countries, on the basis of their lack of apparent "evilness".

	melodic black/death metal from North Carolina
		METAL SIDE: Melodic fl and death metal were born in Scandinavia, at least most of experts say so.
		Metal seems to be encouraged in Scandinavia in all its forms.
		METAL SIDE: Maybe you won't agree but in my opinion it is a very difficult task to become popular in Europe if you are a melodic fl/death metal band from the United States.

	Melodic black metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Melodic fl metal is a style of music that is classified according to several key aspects.
		Melodic fl metal is sometimes confused with gothic metal, doom metal, and symphonic metal due to similarities in the styles (slow tempos, occasional death grunts, clean guitars, defined structures), which results in the erroneous genre classification for many bands and albums.
		Melodic fl metal songs usually have a typical structure and characteristics.

	Metal Invader ( Demos : In Gremio Tenebrarum - Demo ) Review.
		We can hear some old school -almost thrash metal- riffs during the clear metal musical moments of their music and this may be the most interesting part of the whole think.
		The female vocals are very well performed and melodic on other hand the male vocals need lots of improvement especially in their clean melodic parts.
		A typical melodic Black Metal fan would probably enjoy their compositions -that carry lot of influences from Cradle Of Filth-.but unfortunately the band do not manage to offer something special or memorable.

	* CRIMSON SCYTHE - The official web-site * (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		So you get a bit of the melodic death aspect with the underlying symphonic interludes which well accompany the "choruses" (and I use that term loosely as song structure is another issue).
		Self-proclaimed Canadian "melodic fl metal" duo Crimson Scythe state to be inspired by the likes of Dissection and Children Of Bodom.
		The four atmosheric fl metal songs on this demo are full of blastbeats, atmospheric keyboards and aggressive (deformed) vocals, which are very decent.

	Symphonic metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Symphonic metal is both a genre of metal and a name given to several subgenres of other metal genres, and as such, both forms of usage have slightly varying definitions.
		Symphonic metal as a genre (sometimes called opera metal or plainly symphonic metal) is generally the same in the way it sounds between bands, because the genre is pretty typical of itself and the features it uses and easily depicts between itself and other genres.
		Claims that keyboards, female vocals and other gothic metal characteristics are inconsistent with the essence of "true" fl metal has often resulted in confusion between symphonic fl metal and gothic metal bands.

	Dissection - Melodic Black Metal/Heavy Metal
		Similar to bands such as At the Gates or Sentenced Dissection integrate heavy metal melodic playing with smooth and lengthy fl metal riffs, allowing harmonic space to be saturated by osmosis in preparation for thematic narrative and conclusion.
		Sonorous and often gentle, this album embraces a different aesthetic from fl metal in its wavelike complement and recursion, with an emphasis on motion and structure in a style consistent from speed metal through the renaissance of death metal.
		Like most fl metal this music transcends noise for beauty and then surmounts that, leaving a lasting impression of a dark, abstracted, chilling intake of life with the stranded emotion of a bruised soul.

		Graveworm are described as melodic fl metal but I also hear some symphonic and techno.
		The tempo shifts from pure fl metal to more symphonic fl metal, in other words are the music is pretty technical and the biggest part of the sound picture belongs to Sabine on keyboard.
		This album is for everyone who’s into the melodic fl metal scene or for the old fans of course.

	The Abyss - Melodic Black Metal
		A side project of Swedish death metal maniacs Hypocrisy, the Abyss is melodic and fast fl metal that is probably the best output from this group of musicians.
		Review: A melodic fl metal formed of liquid strumming melodies which intertwine to harmonize in suggestion of spaces beneath its surface, creating an ambience in which the violence of the music is forgotten in the breathtaking motion of its melody.
		Vocals are a screeching fl metal standard down to production and follow fairly typical rhythms for stressing major tone center shifts in each riff progression.

		Metal Age productions is a record company but also one of the most important distribution company of Slovakia.
		Mystic Death evolves in a quite classical fl metal style but the difference is the use of melodies essentially brought by guitars parts.
		If the basis are real melodic death metal, all songs are enriched with various elements coming from all musical scene you can imagine (except techno) With a real efficience and a technical level that is better from the average, Wayd gives to metal a new dimension.

	Vigred
		It is not only an exquisite experience for Black Metal lovers, but awesome for everybody who adore dark intense and infinite desperation expressed through force and excellent melodies.
		And the faster Kres is again contrast between dramatic melodic Black fire and anguished melody.
		So is Blind Finale too, with a major intense melodic sequence propelled by relentless smooth drumming and diabolic obscure vibes that range from almost far eastern sounds to American ones like they would embrace the whole world.

	A Review by The Phantom Tollbooth
		Except now the bearers of the metal flame are pale, grim-faced, and hurried as they explore chill caverns and traverse lands where grey storms scrape the sky.
		Death and fl metal bands are at the extreme forefront of their efforts, making up most of the artists on From Kaamos...To Midnight Sun, along with some weaker thrash and neo-classical aspirers in the well-protected center of the compilation.
		Little Rose's flagship band Deuteronomium makes an appearance with a fl metal highlight from their full-length album, "Spell of Hell," and an unreleased death metal tune that probably should have remained in the vault, adding nothing to their usually varied sound.

	BNR Metal Pages -- Gehenna (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Still fl metal, but decidedly harsher, with keyboards far less prominent, this pointed toward a bigger change to come.
		With only scant traces of their fl roots, Gehenna has really gone full-tilt toward death metal, with even the vocal style abruptly shifting from the typical fl metal snarls of the early days toward a low-pitched death growl.
		After several years of inactivity, the band is back with a new album, and somewhat of a new direction, as WW drops the death metal tendencies of their last couple of albums in favor of an old-school fl metal approach.

	Test Scroll Bar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Finnish melodic Black Metal from this one man band (Nargath from Azaghal and Hin Onde).
		For those who haven’t heard it, this band is not primitive Black Metal; it’s epic, melodic mid paced Folk Black Metal with clean and growling vocals (closer to Death Metal), acoustic guitars passages and keyboards melodies.
		All albums moves, between Black Metal (with Folks touches), Death and Doom Metal (ala Morgion’s Solinari).The production is pretty good, I understand Nargath recorded, mixed and produced it at his own studio… and do a good job.

	Dawn: Melodic Death/Black Metal
		Applying fl metal’s nebulous atmospherics to melodic death metal, Dawn create music driven by expansive riffs flowing towards melodious transitions to dual fluctuation similar to fellow Swedes Dissection.
		However, where Dissection’s music lacks the streaming mystification of fl metal due to an over-reliance on alterations of fundamental themes, Dawn beautifully shape songs through a process of melodic constancy and rhythmic descriptiveness forming frozen currents of elegant design yet vicious intention.
		Slaughtersun is metal of remorseless storm-lashing fury of vengeful hatred and blistering execution that leaves the forests for the beckoning shores of surging oceans under fl skies.

		Nima: Within the metal world Norway is known as a producer of quality fl metal.
		The fact that there are also bands that sing about their ancestors and history under the flag of Viking metal is also no longer a secret.
		Naturally the sound of the (old) Enslaved and Einherjer are recognizable, but Thundra's melodic fl metal has more resemblance with a band like Borknagar and bit of Arcturus.

	Power Play Records - REVIEWS
		Adrift has been in the underground metal scene is almost for ten years.
		During the half hour, which is the duration from this demo, Adrift gives us an impressive journey through the land of melodic fl metal.
		The music even if it walks in the melodic fl metal, it has a lot of the underground feelings and sometimes it sound chaotic, especially at the fast fl metal parts.

	Metal Invader ( Diva Noctua Entropia - Transerpentual ) Review.
		DIVA NOCTUA ENTROPIA present us melodic Norwegian fl metal with few Swedish death metal influences, in what appears to be their debut (although I am not sure), “Transerpentual”.
		In general, the guitars are very melodic, the drums are relentless (with some great tampurine (tom-tom) drum) and the vocals are aggressive, in the Norwegian fl metal tradition.
		Overall, a good and welcome release from the Greek fl metal scene (which still shows its ROTTING CHRIST influences), although lacking a bit in the originality sector.

	The Metal Crypt - Reviews
		Carpe Tenebrum features only two members in its line up, both of which have made their mark in the Norwegian fl metal scene.
		This album was the debut release for their lesser known melodic fl metal outfit (which strangely enough, unexpectedly turned into a brutal death metal band come their third and final album), and was the best of their releases in my opinion.
		Nagash's 'fl metal' vocals are fairly strong in the usual throaty hissing style, but do not really stand out as a highlight.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Diabolical - Naglfar at Epinions.com
		What I am saying, is simply that the musical ideas presented here by Naglfar are fairly simplistic, straight-forward expressions derived from the established standards of melodic fl metal, everything from the minor chord progressions and repeated structure, to the screamed verse/chorus lines and drum tempos.
		These are some brutal fl metal rasps that actually sound convincing, aggressive, and the lyrics are intelligible and articulated very well.
		The brutality is met with an epic and triumphant flair that makes you actually want to pick up that weapon and head to your nearest religious gathering rather than hang a dark enveloping shroud of decadence over you and seclude you in your misanthropic chambers of social detachment.

		Melodic Black Metal that is TRUE TO THE TERM is a very beautiful thing that is incredibly difficult to pull off successfully.
		Nowadays, a lot of people refer to to Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir to be melodic BM- so if that is the case, than fuck off to melodic fl metal indeed...
		It's not melodic, in fact it's harsh and ice cold, but this song is so good that you'd be silly not to hear it.

	Elvira Madigan : Official Homepage
		To be absolutely honest I was kind of disappointed from the current fl metal scene since more and more bands tend to repeat the same things over and over, until this guy send me his albums and I regained hope that something actually new and interesting can come out again.
		Sure, Melodic Black is a main ingredient of the music, but often it also ventures into more traditional Metal-forms or takes up some Gothic atmosphere, which as a whole sums up to a very diverse album, which makes it very hard to be put into words.
		This is melodic, folklore inspired fl metal with a great amount of keyboards to enhance the musical landscape further.

		If you’re still nodding your head in agreement, then you and I know something that every other fan of this genre is bound to discover very soon that a melodic fl metal band formed in central Texas by the name of Vesperian Sorrow is among the very best in the business.
		In order to fill the first two spots in the line up, two local metal bands were contacted and were asked if they would like the privilege to open for the much acclaimed Mayhem.
		Out of sheer curiosity for this “infamous” fl metal band, I attended the show only to come away thinking, “Who the hell was that first band?” Some guy next to me said “Something ‘Sorrow’..

		It is not unlikely that they got the idea during their stay in Black Swan, but on the other hand they might actually be the ones who had the idea in the first place.
		The music itself is pretty basic melodic fl metal with the focus on melancholy.
		But if you're looking for melodic fl metal that fits nicely on the ears, then you might want to investigate this one further.

		The fl vocals are the same as Dark Tranquillity's, understandable distorted tight fl howls.
		There is a great deal of normal fl metal songs too so don't worry about there being too much mild music.
		In Flames play beautiful melodic fl metal (although some call it death but I don't because the vocals are fl and the guitar playing is melodic).
