Melo Black / Dark Metal
Norway

Dismal Euphony is one of my favorite band, but a lot of people don't agree to say i'ts "black"...
The band have splitted after their 4th full lengh album...
All albums are in the same way... but each one have other particularity, sometime more "symphonic", sometime more powerful in the riffs, etc...
The contrast between the black vocals and the femal ones is well managed...
Here you have all their release except their demos...

Progressive Melodic Drone Sludge/Post-Hardcore (acording to metal-archives^^)
USA

As requested
Pelican is one of those fantastic band making a strang music between progressiv, hardcore, and sludge doom (maybe like Isis, Cult Of Luna, Red Sparowes, Jesu...)
Their music is totally instrumental, no voice were never used for their sounds...
Some people says that this album was recorded in one afternoon, but it is maybe more "doom" than the next release...

Hypocrisy
Death Metal

Death metal, sometimes atmospheric.
Peter Tagtgren is an awesome producer, we know, but he is also a great musician & singer ! He start Hypocrisy in 1990 and let the vocals to Emperor Magus Caligula of Dark funeral. He leaved the band in 1993 and Peter takes the vocals.

In this best of Hypocrisy remade some tracks of old-release (like Penetralia and Osculum obscenum that were record with Magus Caligula on vocals) with Peter.

Sci-fi is often the lyrical theme.

"Autruche Core" (kind of Psychedelic Hardcore Metal with many influences...)

Many of their song is in French, and some in English... but the lyrics are as crazy as the music, speaking about philosophy, and then about delirious subjects...

Symphonic black metal
Norway.

Witchcraft, the masterpiece of Obtained enslavement ! The vocals of Pest (ex-Gorgoroth) are awesome and so many beautiful melodies...

Have fun & play it loud !

Luna Ad Noctum - The Perfect Evil In Mortal (2006)

Luna ad Noctum
Symphonic black metal
Poland.

A symphonic black metal band that don't abuse of keyboards, yes, it's real !
If you like Dimmu borgir you'll love this one. This is their third release and they have done a great job.
They are really underrated, Luna ad noctum is greater than most of the bands in this scene. Symphonic black metal at his best in my opinion.



By Ephy.

Estatic Fear - A Sombre Dance (1999)

Tristania - Beyond The Veil (1999)

(Symphonic) Gothic Metal (with some Black, and sometimes some Doom influences)

One of the best gothic metal band ever... and for me, their best album!
Their first leader Morten Veland leaved the band and created Sirenia, which is a really good band too, with the album Ashes, Tristania take another way with their music, a lot of people didn't like this Ashes, but with their last album, Illumination, i think Tristania is waking up again.
