how to finland would be more appropriate imo. sweden has some gold melodeath bands out there but for the most part sweden is renowned for pure death metal. on the other hand every metal band from finland ever fits pretty much all the stereotypes listed in the video. Gotta love our friends up there in the north!
@@ourobori1530 i think they are pretty unique. Most melodeath bands incorporate keyboards and they don't, the vocalist also probably has one of the best death growls in melodeath, and the band leans a lot towards folk metal.
I found myself smiling like an idiot because of this video. Couldn’t be more accurate. I swore Andrew actually went and got a HM-2 and maxed out all the settings.
I'll be honest. From all the stereotype videos this one is my favourite music wise. I enjoyed every single riff and solo. Keep it up :) The others were great, but this one hit a 💯
Not gonna lie, I love the acoustic guitar side of Nik. You should play more emotional and acoustic stuff and by the way, before I get roasted by the wave of metalheads, I actually love many subgenres of metal music too, not just emo and scene kid stuff lmao
Super accurate! This just reinforced how much of a sucker I am for Melo-death. (Also, the description says "Some of the most used stereotypes in Modern Metalcore!")
Tyler Ranno Yeah these bands for sure, pioneers. I’d also add The Black Dahlia Murder, Slugdge, Aether Realm, Omnium Gatherum, Insomnium, Dawn of Disease, Voice of Ruin, Wilderun. Really it’s a huge and varied sub genre of metal, lots to get in to.
Avicenna A. Omnium Gatherum, Scar Symmetry, Solution .45, Mygrain, Into Eternity (their first two singers), Universum, Soilwork. Definitely along with the first bands commented
Y’all remember when metalcore used to sound like this? Those were the good days before the shitty drop tuned breakdown shit obsession came in 2010 onwards
Sacrilege - The Fifth Season Ablaze My Sorrow - If Emotions Still Burn Night In Gales - Towards The Twilight Eucharist - Mirrorworlds Sins Of Omission - The Creation Gates Of Ishtar - The Dawn Of Flames Arch Enemy - Stigmata
so, I hate to be that guy, but... a hypothesis is basically a theory on what you believe is going to happen in a given circumstance, NOT the end result of it... just sayin'. I'm thinking you were looking for the word "conclusion" 🙂
Gotta love the maiden inspired melodies. You can't forget about the amott riffage from the carcass heartwork album 😅 You should do swedish death metal next
So basically the key to great Melodeath is to go on a Bill-and-Ted style journey through the wilderness on a search for potential bandmates? Sounds fun
We require tech death stereotypes. Featuring riffs you can't play, minor second harmony, breakdowns so syncopated you may as well have written a bar of 16th notes and deleted 8 at random, etc.
The acoustic interlude is the same chord progression as Reckoner by Radiohead. I've used those shapes in a similar way ever since I learned that song. They always sound good.
Kyle It’s a play on At The Gates, who many believe we’re one of the first melodic death metal bands. They’re a huge influence on the whole metalcore scene that blossomed in the early 2000’s.
Hehe I love the switch to the acoustic guitar, and yes my favorite band is Insomnium lol. If you can't make fun of yourself, who can you make fun of? 😆 My friend Nova referred this video to me
*In memes, we trust*
*Better smash that video like button and subscribe to my dude ANDREW!*
You like memes? I dare you to Rick Roll us in each genre of metal ;)
Do Doom Metal next
I'll trust your meme
I will
Is that a fucking Chunk! reference?
Stereotypes of “Punk Goes Pop” / “Punk Goes Crunk” songs please
"Yeah so we found our drummer in the mountains, our keyboardist in the forest, and our vocalist and guitarist from Sweden."
Imagine a djent band from Sweden: "We found our drummer at IKEA"
I wonder where they find the triangle player
Luckily Sweden has mountains and forests so that's pretty efficient.
i like this comment mostly cuz i am swedish lmao
And we start writing songs about Vikings, blood and thunder

@Some Kind of Master and it was pretty cold i bet :D (this covid is eternal i think, and the shop is closed for the night so we drink from tap itself)
You forgot the “Tune down to C or B Standard” step.
Insomnium only use D
I always thought of Melodeath to be in D standard but yeah, C or B is also Melodeath
Henry Martino I’ve even heard melodeath in drop A before
Purely B standard man
Finnish melo death is usually d or drop c (wintersun, cob, insomnium etc) while Sweden uses more B and C
viking, blood, thunder = amon amarth
at the riffs = at the gates
in choruses we trust = in flames
we found our drummer in the mountain = every melodeath band ever
weather the insomnia = insomnium
trembling but melodic = dark tranquillity*
we found our keyboardist in the forest = children of bodom/mors principium est
yeah i just wanted that gothenburg tone = swedish melodeath band

Trembling but melodic reminds me almost every song of Dark Tranquillity
Acoustic interlude is more like Numenorean and other ambient bands like that/
Yeah Insomnium for the acoustic interlude. Lool.. I'm a melodic death metal fan and i cover insomnium.. great band
though the keyboardist in the forest lacks some serious orchestra hits to be proper CoB.
solos in harmony = trivium (hello Matt)
Melodic Death Metal is when you laugh at some stereotypes in other genres, but really love all parts in this video.
Should’ve been called “How Trivium made Ember To Inferno”😆
He did just cover the whole trivium album 🤷♂️
:O
@@dbo4506 for the 10th time lol
Ember To Inferno is a great album and surprisingly aged wel
Some Kind of Master both my favourite things in metal.
The "weather the insomnia" was pretty accurate, literally every Insomnium song has that ambience lead
How to sweden
Yes
how to finland would be more appropriate imo. sweden has some gold melodeath bands out there but for the most part sweden is renowned for pure death metal. on the other hand every metal band from finland ever fits pretty much all the stereotypes listed in the video. Gotta love our friends up there in the north!
Melodic Death metal riffs > literally any other metal riffs
Totally agree🙌🏻
Doom riffs + Melo-Death riffs 🤘🤘🤘🤘
melodeath & tech/prog death (not that overly djenty stuff if y'know what i mean
djent is pretty cool tho
Tf no
90s death metal conquers all
Do technical death metal next!
NahteOnFyre !! Grindcore stereotypes because he could fit several albums into one video
But then we'd have to be good at guitar
*Revocation intensifies*
Technical death metal
Just blast beat everything
Cryptic I love it! If "extremely short songs" wasn't included, I would unsubscribe.

Super accurate. Like right on

The forest keyboarder and the mountain drummer should start a band
They've already made MANY bands together
those riffs sounds Asking Alexandria's Stand up and Scream.
@@omegmeggaming5890 valid!!!
Old metalcore was basically melodeath with breakdowns
and shitty emo vocal
I love how even though these are parody songs, they sound badass.
FINALLY! MY FAVORITE GENRE!
Perfect :D
All these riffs could've been my playlist. Guess I'm a super fan of death melodic metal ! Nice one!
late 2000s/early 2010s metalcore synth breakdowns
Everything including the intro was Amon Amarth
No complaints.
Who are a generic Melo death band. All seems to fit!
@@ourobori1530 i think they are pretty unique. Most melodeath bands incorporate keyboards and they don't, the vocalist also probably has one of the best death growls in melodeath, and the band leans a lot towards folk metal.

Stoner or Groove metal stereotypes??
Please
yesss plss
Look at his face at the end,he's stoned lol it's all stoner!
Get high for stoner. Copy pantera and make sure u can dance to it for groove
On the to-do list ;)
I don't know how you do it, like your videos are back to back to back to back good. You have a 1000 batting average.
Keep up the great work, brother
Part II featuring Ola?? 👀
Having been a vocalist in a melodeath band at one point in time, can confirm.
"Yeah i just wanted the original Gothenburg tone"
BOSS METAL ZONE HERE I COME
It should be "We found our keyboardist at the Lake of Bodom".
The "We found our drummer in the mountains" cliché brought me straight to December Flower by In Flames
I'll be honest. From all the stereotype videos this one is my favourite music wise. I enjoyed every single riff and solo. Keep it up :) The others were great, but this one hit a 💯

Ok this Melodic Death Metal genre is so dope, any bands recommendation?
insomnium, at the gates, old in flames, arch enemy and amon amarth is where is started with melodeath
Also darkest hour
Tyler Ranno Yeah these bands for sure, pioneers.

Insomnium has some of the best sounding leads in metal imo.
Sacrilege - The Fifth Season
Ablaze My Sorrow - If Emotions Still Burn
Night In Gales - Towards The Twilight
Eucharist - Mirrorworlds
Sins Of Omission - The Creation
Gates Of Ishtar - The Dawn Of Flames
Arch Enemy - Stigmata
Heh, so that first riff is basically just "Deceiver of the Gods" by Amon Amarth - so, spot on I guess!
3:11 New Acoustic EP in the works? I’d be so down for that
Progressive death metal stereotypes like dir en grey,etc
Thanks for the video nik
All of these were so good!
These videos are so accurate you feel personally attacked even if it's not your cup of metal.
That acoustic part was actually beautiful Nik
Never thought I'd relate to a video so much lol. Thanks for the video bro.
Yeah. One of the favorite metal genres. Even made a bass cove on Insomnium
Close enough, loved it!
1:24 is literally Insomnium in a nutshell
The acoustic interlude is amazing
Favorite genre, favorite stereotypes video. Thank you kind sir.
And this video just reassured my love for melodeath. In Flames, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Insomnium.. doesn't get much better
@Laura Matsuda and dark tranquillity and soil work
The beginning is so accurate
Nik is cursed to be awesome at every metal genre, there's no other hypothesis
so, I hate to be that guy, but... a hypothesis is basically a theory on what you believe is going to happen in a given circumstance, NOT the end result of it... just sayin'. I'm thinking you were looking for the word "conclusion" 🙂
Nothing beats melotrem
love the choruses you always write for it. good stuff
Ngl, these are my fave riffs of all the stereotypes vids so far.
I think the band death was next known for being the first death metal band and melodic songs
May be my favorite genre of metal. Lol. Also thank you for uploading on my birthday. 🖤
Vikings, Blood and Thunder was just too accurate and fucking sick
You made my day
Gotta love the maiden inspired melodies.
You can't forget about the amott riffage from the carcass heartwork album 😅 You should do swedish death metal next
I NEED songs with that "The Acoustic Interlude" style!!!!!!
Old In Flames was a fcking mindblowing, amazing !
This is incredible 👏🤘
That was the nicest sounding "stereotypes" video you guys ever done)
Aww man! I love Andrew Banana and Nik Clockturnal!
The insomnium riff is perfect
So basically the key to great Melodeath is to go on a Bill-and-Ted style journey through the wilderness on a search for potential bandmates? Sounds fun

Later today :)
Andrew playing a 6 string for a whole video? Yep is officially the apocalypse.
3:47 "huge thank you to my girlfriend Andrew Baena"
That first riff was fkn sick af!!
The harmonizing solos sounds like every Trivium song.
Zachary Travis but it sure does sound great though
"weather the insomnia" ... Epic
Serious lamb of God vibes from "at the riffs"
Kyle It’s a play on At The Gates, who many believe we’re one of the first melodic death metal bands. They’re a huge influence on the whole metalcore scene that blossomed in the early 2000’s.
Yeah LOG used a lot of At The Gates inspired riff on their early albums
every metalcore band in 2004 sounded like At the Gates
