Melodic Metal and/or Hardcore

I was talking to some dude who mentioned some bands that I have now forgot so it got me wanting to check out some bands of this genre. What better way than to ask THE PEOPLE what they like. Thanks

GO!

Into the Storm
Smooth Sailing
Baroness

Are we talking about stuff like Dream Theater?

Exactly...I mean that's what I had in mind...but I am very open.

I would consider a band like this more along the lines of the Gothic scene or atleast more melodic than metal .

Melodic Metal bands that i know of would be-

In Flames
Soilwork
Dark Tranquility
Darkest Hour

hope you find something you enjoy.

Protest the Hero
Between the Buried and me
The Human Abstract

The Black Dahlia Murder
Emmure
Knights of the Abyss

Im horrible at Classifying music but would Kamelot be one?

Kamelot would be classified as Power Metal but not in the traditional "we're off to fight the dragon" sense. They have elements of progressive metal as well.

Some Hardcore for you:
Agnostic Front
Biohazard
Madball
Sworn Enemy
Mongoloids
Hatebreed
Death Before Dishonor
Stick to Your Guns
Sick of it All
Thick as Blood
Throwdown
Disciple
I'm sure a few of these bands might fall under other genres as well but whatever, I still love them!!

None of those bands are melodic.

When I hear the term melodic hardcore, I think of a few bands, older and newer.

Even older:


I guess that covers melodic hardcore. As far as melodic metal goes, I think those two words belong in the same sentence like the words "christian" and "punk" belong in the same sentence. Confusing.

I guess he was asking for melodic hardcore huh? I misread it, my fault haha.

If the Grammy's are any indication, I believe that the band you are looking for is called Jethro Tull. They fit that description. According to the Grammys.

Thank you

I would think of that as just good ol' hardcore.

I guess my wording made it very confusing but I got a lot of good bands to check out now. Thanks all!

I think Glassjaw might fit the profile.

^^ glassjaw is one of my all time favs.

Just good ol' hardcore imo tho.

What?

This really happened?

This might help. Gotta love Youtube.

















You kicked my ass into download mode with this topic. Cheers!

Given the choice between "Blow Up Your Video" by AC/DC, "Cold Metal" by Iggy Pop, "Nothing's Shocking" by Jane's Addiction, "And Justice for All" by Metallica, and "Crest of a Knave" by Jethro Tull, the 1989 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Perfomance, Vocal or Instrumental, went to Jethro Tull. Given the one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others nature of the selections and the victory, to call the award controversial would be an understatement. Really, it's a black eye the Grammy's have never really shed in their quest for legitimacy.

Awesome, buddy.

never though to search that in youtube hah!

even some black metal can be put in the melodic metal class, as are lots of operatic metal bands....there is such a huge spectrum of music when you say melodic metal

is this melodic metal?
