je n'ai pas de signature et je vous emmerde.

The best album of Melodic Death Metal is definitely Heartwork from Carcass.
 
It's a bit surprising not to see the english band there...
 
In fact my list would be very similar to BG's one with a few exceptions.
 
I'd like to add also Hypocrisy and OLD Amorphis.

Heartwork is considered as Melodic Death? I didn't know.
I don't know very much about Death metal, but I like the  first album " Skydancer " from Dark Tranquillity.
I also like At The Gates.

At The Gates is the best melo-death band !

My Favorite Melodic Death: Edge Of Sanity and Moorgate

My favorite is Inactive Messiah,i love them, also i like:
Dark Tranquility
Hypocrisy
Amon Amarth
Children Of Bodom
Arch Enemy
In Flames
Norther

I guess there is a lot of people from France so you probably know Sekmeth! I found 'em out a weak ago and i can't wait the new album... sounds really great!

Everybody loves toys, and the only thing better than toys is wicked toys!

And of course check out Universum from Australia!

Carcass' Later work from swansong. That is melodic. Or heartwork. if it wasn't for Carcass making michael amoot famous then Arch Enemy wouldn't be nearly everyones favourate bands.

There good mind you, byut my favourate "melodic" is Carcass (late)

At the moment, my absolute favourite would have to be [b]Insomnium[/b]. Amazing band, and seemingly underated and overlooked. Also got much love for [b]In Flames[/b].
