I just recently switched my favorite genre of music to "melodic death metal"
It's exactly what it describes and is actually quite badass if you give it a fair enough shot. In fact In Flames is melodic death metal and is from the same town in sweden that pretty much all melodeath bands are from, which isn't a lot.
Gardenian is my new favorite melodeath. They take a bit of getting used to but if you listen a few times you'll probably get into them. Unfortunately they're split up now and all the members are now in big bands such as children of bodom.
